CYP81Q32 — Cucumis sativus

Summary

CSA_6G492230, designated CYP81Q32 on cucumber chromosome 6, encodes a cytochrome P450 with piperitol synthase activity, 4'-methoxyisoflavone 2'-hydroxylase activity, isoflavone 2'-hydroxylase activity, isoflavone 3'-hydroxylase activity, oxidoreductase activity, monooxygenase activity, iron binding, and heme binding. The gene is associated with nitrate assimilation, regeneration, detoxification, chlorophyll fluorescence, homeostasis, and cell division. Its product localises to the ER membrane and membrane. CYP81Q32 is also linked to leaf shape. Related genes in other species connect this gene family to additional oxidoreductase activities, including EC 1.14.19.74 and EC 1.14.14.89–90, though these specific functions are not yet established in cucumber.
