CYP71E1 — Sorghum bicolor

Summary

SORBI_3001G012200, symbol CYP71E1, on sorghum chromosome 1, encodes a 4-hydroxyphenylacetaldehyde oxime monooxygenase, a cytochrome P450 family protein with heme and iron binding, oxidoreductase and monooxygenase activities, and 4-hydroxyphenylacetonitrile hydroxylase activity. The gene is associated with dhurrin anabolism, alkaloid anabolism, phenylpropanoid anabolism, and glucosinolate anabolism, as well as detoxification, electron transport chain and photosynthetic electron transport chain processes. It is linked to response to water, fruit ripening, root development, syngamy, and NO storage. The encoded product localises to the ER membrane and membrane. Additionally, the gene is associated with leaf dry weight. Studies of related genes in other species link the family to various oxidoreductase activities (EC 1.14.14.-).
