| Organism: | Ocimum basilicum (Sweet basil). | |
| Taxonomy: | Eukaryota; Viridiplantae; Streptophyta; Embryophyta; Tracheophyta; Spermatophyta; Magnoliopsida; eudicotyledons; Gunneridae; Pentapetalae; asterids; lamiids; Lamiales; Lamiaceae; Nepetoideae; Ocimeae; Ocimum. | |
| Function: | Catalyzes the synthesis of the phenylpropene eugenol from coniferyl acetate (PubMed:16782809, PubMed:17912370). Phenylpropenes are produced by plants as defense compounds with antimicrobial and antianimal properties, or as floral attractants of pollinators (PubMed:16782809). Eugenol is a characteristic aromatic constituent of spices (PubMed:16782809). {ECO:0000269|PubMed:16782809, ECO:0000269|PubMed:17912370}. | |
| Catalytic activity: | Reaction=acetate + eugenol + NADP(+) = (E)-coniferyl acetate + NADPH; Xref=Rhea:RHEA:24690, ChEBI:CHEBI:4917, ChEBI:CHEBI:30089, ChEBI:CHEBI:47905, ChEBI:CHEBI:57783, ChEBI:CHEBI:58349; EC=1.1.1.318; Evidence={ECO:0000269|PubMed:16782809, ECO:0000269|PubMed:17912370}; PhysiologicalDirection=right-to-left; Xref=Rhea:RHEA:24692; Evidence={ECO:0000269|PubMed:16782809, ECO:0000269|PubMed:17912370}; | |
| Catalytic activity: | Reaction=a carboxylate + eugenol + NADP(+) = a coniferyl ester + NADPH; Xref=Rhea:RHEA:32655, ChEBI:CHEBI:4917, ChEBI:CHEBI:29067, ChEBI:CHEBI:57783, ChEBI:CHEBI:58349, ChEBI:CHEBI:64292; EC=1.1.1.318; Evidence={ECO:0000269|PubMed:16782809, ECO:0000269|PubMed:17912370}; PhysiologicalDirection=right-to-left; Xref=Rhea:RHEA:32657; Evidence={ECO:0000269|PubMed:16782809, ECO:0000269|PubMed:17912370}; | |
| Activity regulation: | Inhibited by zinc and copper ions (PubMed:16782809). Repressed by 4-bromo-cinnamyl acetate (PubMed:16782809). Desactivated by the competitive inhibitor EMDF ((7S,8S)-ethyl(7,8-methylene)-dihydroferulate) (PubMed:17912370). {ECO:0000269|PubMed:16782809, ECO:0000269|PubMed:17912370}. | |
