COMT — Beta vulgaris subsp. vulgaris
Summary
BvCOMT (BVRB_1G002040) on sugar beet chromosome 1 encodes a caffeate O-methyltransferase, a SAM-dependent methyltransferase with a COMT-like dimerisation domain and a winged-helix DNA-binding superfamily domain. The gene is associated with the biosynthesis of phenylpropanoids, lignin, flavonoids, coumarins, alkaloids, and phenylethylamine, as well as with root development. Studies of related genes in other species link the family to caffeate O-methyltransferase activity (EC 2.1.1.68).
