ACS — Triticum turgidum subsp. durum

Summary

TRITD5BV1G187790 (ACS, TtACS) on durum wheat chromosome 5B encodes a 4-coumarate--CoA ligase, a member of the AMP-binding enzyme superfamily. The product exhibits multiple acyl-CoA ligase activities, including acetate-CoA, propionate-CoA, medium-chain fatty acid-CoA, and trans-cinnamate-CoA ligase activities, and is annotated with EC 6.2.1.12. It is associated with fatty-acyl-CoA anabolism, cinnamic acid metabolism and anabolism, phenylpropanoid metabolism, phytoalexin biosynthesis, green leaf volatile biosynthesis, and the circadian rhythm. The gene is also linked to response to ethylene and to stripe rust. The protein localises to the endoplasmic reticulum and cytosol. Studies of related genes in other species connect the family to additional CoA-ligase activities (EC 6.2.1.1, 6.2.1.17, 6.2.1.78), but these associations are not yet established in durum wheat.
