High impact information on BAHD1

  • Plant BAHD acyltransferases constitute a large family of acyl CoA-utilizing enzymes whose products include small volatile esters, modified anthocyanins, as well as constitutive defense compounds and phytoalexins [1].
  • Recent advances in genome sequencing and the availability of the first crystal structure of a BAHD member are, however, providing insights into the evolution and function of these acyltransferases within the plant kingdom [1].
  • Surprisingly, the DFGWG motif, which is indispensable for the catalyzed reaction and unique to the BAHD family, is located far away from the active site and seems to play only a structural role [2].
  • Rosmarinic acid synthase is a new member of the superfamily of BAHD acyltransferases [3].
  • The open reading frame of the cDNA had a length of 1290 base pairs encoding a protein of 430 amino acid residues with a molecular mass of 47,932 Da with typical characteristics of an acyltransferase of the BAHD superfamily [3].
