CYP71E1 — Sorghum bicolor

Summary

SORBI_3005G158000 (symbol CYP71E1) on sorghum chromosome 5 encodes a 4-hydroxyphenylacetaldehyde oxime monooxygenase, a cytochrome P450 family 71 protein with heme binding, iron binding, and oxidoreductase activity. It is annotated with 4-hydroxyphenylacetonitrile hydroxylase and monooxygenase activities. This gene is associated with dhurrin anabolism, alkaloid anabolism, glucosinolate anabolism, detoxification, NO storage, electron transport, photosynthetic electron transport, fruit ripening, syngamy, root development, and response to water. It localises to the endoplasmic reticulum membrane. The gene is also linked to leaf dry weight. Studies of related genes in other species connect the family to various hydroxylase activities (EC 1.14.14.41, 1.14.14.37, and others), though these specific functions are not established for sorghum CYP71E1.
