High impact information on CYP83A1

  • The Arabidopsis ref2 mutant is defective in the gene encoding CYP83A1 and shows both phenylpropanoid and glucosinolate phenotypes [1].
  • Upon further investigation, ref2 mutants were found to have reduced levels of all aliphatic glucosinolates and increased levels of indole-derived glucosinolates in their leaves [1].
  • Characterization of the ref2 mutants showed that they contained reduced levels of a number of phenylpropanoid pathway-derived products: sinapoylmalate in leaves, sinapoylcholine in seeds, and syringyl lignin in stems [1].
  • Two of the three transcripts coding for aliphatic glucosinolates (CYP83A1, AOP3) are also expressed at significantly lower levels in Col flowers [2].
  • In a detailed analysis of the substrate specificities of the recombinant enzymes heterologously expressed in yeast (Saccharomyces cerevisiae), we show that aliphatic oximes derived from chain-elongated homologs of methionine are efficiently metabolized by CYP83A1, whereas CYP83B1 metabolizes these substrates with very low efficiency [3].
 

Biological context of CYP83A1

 

Associations of CYP83A1 with chemical compounds

  • Instead, CYP83A1 catalyzes the initial conversion of aldoximes to thiohydroximates in the synthesis of glucosinolates not derived from tryptophan [4].
  • However, indole-3-acetaldoxime has a 50-fold higher affinity toward CYP83B1 than toward CYP83A1 [4].
  • The ability of CYP83A1 to metabolize aromatic oximes, albeit at small levels, explains the presence of indole glucosinolates at various levels in different developmental stages of the CYP83B1 knockout mutant, rnt1-1 [3].
