Biochemical and Structural Characterization of Benzenoid Carboxyl Methyltransferases Involved in Floral Scent Production in Stephanotis floribunda and Nicotiana suaveolens1
|
Flower-specific benzenoid carboxyl methyltransferases from Stephanotis floribunda and Nicotiana suaveolens were biochemically and structurally characterized. The floral scents of both these species contain higher levels of methyl benzoate and lower levels of methyl salicylate. The S. floribunda enzyme has a 12-fold lower K^sub m^ value for salicylic acid (SA) than for benzoic acid (BA), and results of in silico modeling of the active site of the S. floribunda enzyme, based on the crystal structure of Clarkia breweri salicylic acid methyltransferase (SAMT), are consistent with this functional ...
