CHS — Oryza sativa Indica Group

Summary

BGIOSGA024198 (symbol CHS, also known as OiCHS) on chromosome 7 of Indica rice encodes an uncharacterized protein belonging to the chalcone/stilbene synthase and type III polyketide synthase families. The gene product exhibits naringenin-chalcone synthase, phloroisovalerophenone synthase, and bisdemethoxycurcumin synthase activities, along with acyltransferase and protein homodimerization activities. CHS is associated with regulation of flavonoid anabolism, chalcone anabolism, polyketide anabolism, pigmentation, pollen wall assembly, leaf senescence, and response to UV-A. It localizes to the cytoplasm and has been linked to hull color and oxidative stress response. Related genes in other species connect the family to chalcone synthase activity (EC 2.3.1.74) and related polyketide synthase functions.
