Vinorine synthase is an acetyltransferase that occupies a central role in the biosynthesis of
the antiarrhythmic monoterpenoid indole alkaloid ajmaline in the plant Rauvolfia. Vinorine …

Volatile esters, a major class of compounds contributing to the aroma of many fruit, are
synthesized by alcohol acyl-transferases (AAT). We demonstrate here that, in Charentais …

Soyasaponins are major small molecules that accumulate in soybean (Glycine max) seeds.
Among them, type‐A soyasaponins, fully acetylated at the terminal sugar of their C22 sugar …

The precursor of all monoterpenes is the C10 acyclic intermediate geranyl diphosphate
(GPP), which is formed from the C5 compounds isopentenyl diphosphate and dimethylallyl …

A large number of plants accumulate N-acylated polyamines (phenolamides [PAs]) in
response to biotic and/or abiotic stress conditions. In the native tobacco (Nicotiana …

Serine carboxypeptidase-like (SCPL) proteins have recently emerged as a new group of
plant acyltransferases. These enzymes share homology with peptidases but lack protease …

The cDNA clone for a 10-deacetylbaccatin III-10-O-acetyl transferase, which catalyzes
formation of the last diterpene intermediate in the Taxol biosynthetic pathway, has been …

A cDNA encoding a protein with 456 amino acids whose sequence shows considerable
similarity to plant acyltransferases was identified among 750 Clarkia breweri flower …

Lily is a popular flower worldwide due to its elegant appearance and pleasant fragrance.
Floral volatiles of lily are predominated by monoterpenes and benzenoids. While a number …
