C7A10 — Beta vulgaris subsp. vulgaris

Summary

BvC7A10 (BVRB_2G035770) on sugar beet chromosome 2 encodes a cytochrome P450 protein with trans-cinnamate 4-monooxygenase and monooxygenase activities, and binds iron and heme. It is associated with multiple metabolic processes including lignin, flavonoid, alkaloid, wax, monoterpenoid, triterpenoid, and paclitaxel metabolism, as well as sucrose metabolism, ALA metabolism, and DNA replication. The gene is linked to response to salt stress and localizes to the endoplasmic reticulum, membrane, and nucleus. Studies of related genes in other species connect the family to additional cytochrome P450 functions, including EC 1.14.14.193 and EC 1.14.14.91 activities.
