COMT — Beta vulgaris subsp. vulgaris
Summary
BvCOMT (BVRB_1G002060) 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 lignin, flavonoid, alkaloid and phenylethylamine anabolism, as well as root development. Studies of related genes in other species link the family to EC 2.1.1.68 and EC 2.1.1.169, though these specific activities are not yet established in sugar beet.
