Acylation is a common and biochemically significant modification of plant secondary
metabolites. Plant BAHD acyltransferases constitute a large family of acyl CoA-utilizing …

Background BAHD acyltransferases are involved in the synthesis and elaboration of a wide
variety of secondary metabolites. Previous research has shown that characterized proteins …

Enzymatic acylation is a widespread substitution reaction that is notably involved in the
diversification of natural substances produced by plant secondary metabolism (Fig. 1). A …

Members of the BAHD family of plant acyl transferases are very versatile catalytically, and
are thought to be able to evolve new substrate specificities rapidly. Acylation of …

Plant acyl-CoA dependent acyltransferases constitute a large specific protein superfamily,
named BAHD. Using the conserved sequence motifs of BAHD members, we searched the …

Phenolic compounds are secondary metabolites involved in several plant growth and
development processes, including resistance to biotic and abiotic stresses. The biosynthetic …

The BAHD family is a class of acyl-CoA-dependent acyltransferases that are involved in
plant secondary metabolism and show a diverse range of specificities for acyl acceptors …

BAHD acyltransferases catalyze the acylation of many plant secondary metabolites. We
characterized the function of At2g19070, a member of the BAHD gene family of Arabidopsis …

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

Terrestrial plants have evolved specific adaptations to preserve water and protect
themselves from their environment. Such adaptations range from secondary metabolites and …
