CYP71E1 — Sorghum bicolor

Summary

SORBI_3008G058500, symbol CYP71E1, encodes a 4-hydroxyphenylacetaldehyde oxime monooxygenase, a cytochrome P450 family protein with heme and iron binding, monooxygenase and oxidoreductase activities, and 4-hydroxyphenylacetonitrile hydroxylase activity. The gene is associated with dhurrin anabolism, alkaloid anabolism, glucosinolate anabolism, detoxification, and response to water, as well as fruit ripening, root development, syngamy, and photosynthetic and general electron transport chains. Its product localises to the ER membrane and membrane. The gene is also linked to leaf dry weight. Studies of related genes in other species connect the family to additional oxidoreductase activities (EC 1.14.14.41, 1.14.14.37, and others), though these are not established for sorghum.
