Crystal structure of the plant feruloyl–coenzyme A monolignol transferase provides insights into the formation of monolignol ferulate conjugates

Biochemical and Biophysical Research Communications, 2022
Lignin is a highly complex phenolic polymer which is essential for plants, but also makes it difficult for industrial processing. Engineering lignin by introducing relatively labile linkages into the lignin backbone can render it more amenable to chemical depolymerization.

Monolignol acyltransferase for lignin p-hydroxybenzoylation in Populus

Nature Plants, 2021
Plant lignification exhibits notable plasticity. Lignin in many species, including Populus spp., has long been known to be decorated with p-hydroxybenzoates. However, the molecular basis for such structural modification remains undetermined. Here, we report the identification and characterization of a Populus BAHD family acyltransferase that catalyses ...

Flux modeling for monolignol biosynthesis

Current Opinion in Biotechnology, 2019
The pathway of monolignol biosynthesis involves many components interacting in a metabolic grid to regulate the supply and ratios of monolignols for lignification. The complexity of the pathway challenges any intuitive prediction of the output without mathematical modeling.

The Behavior of Deuterium-Labeled Monolignol and Monolignol Glucosides in Lignin Biosynthesis in Angiosperms

Journal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry, 2003
To examine the behavior of monolignol and monolignol glucosides in lignin biosynthesis, pentadeutero[9-D(2), 3-OCD(3)]coniferyl alcohol and pentadeutero[9-D(2), 3-OCD(3)]coniferin were synthesized and fed to growing Eucalyptus camaldulensis and Magnolia kobus.

Behavior of Monolignol Glucosides in Angiosperms

Journal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry, 2004
To examine the behavior of cinnamaldehyde and cinnamyl alcohol glucosides in lignifying tissues, angiosperms were subjected to tracer experiments using radioisotope-labeled and stable isotope-labeled glucosides. The aglycone from coniferaldehyde glucoside was efficiently incorporated into guaiacyl and syringyl lignin as a cinnamyl alcohol unit.

Interaction of Hemicelluloses with Monolignols

Journal of Wood Chemistry and Technology, 2007
Abstract Interactions of hemicelluloses, xylan and glucomannan, with monolignols, coniferyl alcohol and sinapyl alcohol, and their glucosides, coniferin and syringin, were investigated by surface plasmon resonance analysis. Hemicelluloses with different aldehyde contents, prepared by sodium periodate oxidation, were immobilized onto carboxymethyl ...

Mathematical modeling of monolignol biosynthesis in Populus xylem

Mathematical Biosciences, 2010
Recalcitrance of lignocellulosic biomass to sugar release is a central issue in the production of biofuel as an economically viable energy source. Among all contributing factors, variations in lignin content and its syringyl-guaiacyl monomer composition have been directly linked with the yield of fermentable sugars.
