TAIR Curator Summary | UGT72E3 is an UDPG:coniferyl alcohol glucosyltransferase which glucosylates sinapyl- and coniferyl alcohol as well as sinapic acid. The enzyme is thought to be involved in lignin- and phenylpropanoid metabolism. A knockdown mutant line (72E3KD) was obtained using RNAi silencing. No reduction in coniferyl alcohol 4-<i>O</i>-glucoside and sinapyl alcohol 4-<i>O</i>-glucoside was detected in this line compared to wildtype, in contrast with the knockdown line constructed for UGT72E2 displayed a twofold reduction in the these phenylpropanoid 4-<i>O</i>-glucosides. Can influence the kinetics of lignin deposition by regulating monolignol flow to the cell wall as well as the potential of this compartment to incorporate monomers into the growing lignin polymer. |
