COMT — Beta vulgaris subsp. vulgaris
Summary
BvCOMT (BVRB_1G002070) 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 domain. The enzyme is annotated to O-methyltransferase activity and protein dimerization activity. BvCOMT is associated with the biosynthesis of lignin, phenylpropanoids, flavonoids, alkaloids, and phenylethylamine, as well as with root development. Studies of related genes in other species link the family to EC 2.1.1.68 (caffeate O-methyltransferase) activity.
