CYP71E1 — Sorghum bicolor

Summary

SORBI_3001G012000, symbol CYP71E1, on sorghum chromosome 1, encodes a 4-hydroxyphenylacetaldehyde oxime monooxygenase belonging to the cytochrome P450 71 family. This enzyme has 4-hydroxyphenylacetonitrile hydroxylase activity and acts as a monooxygenase with heme and iron binding, functioning in oxidoreductase activity on paired donors with oxygen incorporation. The gene is associated with dhurrin anabolism, alkaloid anabolism, glucosinolate anabolism, detoxification, and NO storage, as well as responses to water, electron transport chain, photosynthetic electron transport chain, fruit ripening, syngamy, and root development. It is localized to the ER membrane and membrane. The gene has been connected to leaf dry weight. Studies of related genes in other species link the family to various cytochrome P450 monooxygenase activities, including EC 1.14.14.41 and related entries.
