Identification and characterization of BAHD hydroxycinnamoyltransferases in the fern Neoblechnum brasiliense. [PDF]
Significance Statement Nine BAHD acyltransferases have been identified and characterized in the fern Neoblechnum brasiliense transferring hydroxycinnamoyl units onto various alcohol and amine acceptor substrates. Kinetic characterization showed that shikimic and quinic acids for ester formation as well as 3‐hydroxyanthranilic acid and tryptamine for ...

The BAHD Acyltransferase Gene Family: Evolutionary Dynamics, Biochemical Mechanisms, and Roles in Plant Stress Adaptation. [PDF]
BAHD acyltransferases drive metabolic diversification in plants by coupling conserved catalytic scaffolds with regulatory flexibility, enabling stress adaptation and ecological specialisation. ABSTRACT BAHD acyltransferases constitute one of the most versatile enzyme superfamilies in plants, catalysing the acylation of alcohols, amines, polyamines, and

The Metabolism of Quinate in Pea Roots (Purification and Partial Characterization of a Quinate Hydrolyase) [PDF]
A quinate (QA) hydrolyase was isolated from pea (Pisum sativum L.) roots. The enzyme converts QA into shikimate by elimination of water. The enzymatic reaction is independent of cofactors and divalent cations. The QA hydrolyase was purified about 1,600-fold to apparent electrophoretic homogeneity in three steps, including bovine serum albumin-affinity ...

Quinate oxidation inGluconobacter oxydansIFO3244: purification and characterization of quinoprotein quinate dehydrogenase [PDF]
Quinoprotein quinate dehydrogenase (QDH) is a membrane-bound enzyme containing pyrroloquinoline quinone (PQQ) as the prosthetic group. QDH in Gluconobacter oxydans IFO3244 was found to be inducible by quinate and it is not constitutively expressed in the absence of quinate. The purification of holo-form of QDH to nearly homogeneity was achieved.

Molecular Characterization of Quinate and Shikimate Metabolism in Populus trichocarpa [PDF]
The shikimate pathway leads to the biosynthesis of aromatic amino acids essential for protein biosynthesis and the production of a wide array of plant secondary metabolites. Among them, quinate is an astringent feeding deterrent that can be formed in a single step reaction from 3-dehydroquinate catalyzed by quinate dehydrogenase (QDH). 3-Dehydroquinate
