| UniProt functional annotation for Q9T0N8 | |||
| UniProt code: Q9T0N8. |
| Organism: | Zea mays (Maize). | |
| Taxonomy: | Eukaryota; Viridiplantae; Streptophyta; Embryophyta; Tracheophyta; Spermatophyta; Magnoliopsida; Liliopsida; Poales; Poaceae; PACMAD clade; Panicoideae; Andropogonodae; Andropogoneae; Tripsacinae; Zea. | |
| Function: | Catalyzes the oxidation of cytokinins, a family of N(6)- substituted adenine derivatives that are plant hormones, where the substituent is an isopentenyl group. Cleaves zeatin, isopentenyladenine, isopentenyladenosine, zeatin riboside and cis- zeatin, but not dihydrozeatin, kinetin and benzylaminopurine. | |
| Catalytic activity: | Reaction=A + H2O + N(6)-dimethylallyladenine = 3-methyl-2-butenal + adenine + AH2; Xref=Rhea:RHEA:13625, ChEBI:CHEBI:13193, ChEBI:CHEBI:15377, ChEBI:CHEBI:15825, ChEBI:CHEBI:16708, ChEBI:CHEBI:17499, ChEBI:CHEBI:17660; EC=1.5.99.12; | |
| Cofactor: | Name=FAD; Xref=ChEBI:CHEBI:57692; | |
| Activity regulation: | Competitive inhibition by phenylureas. | |
| Subunit: | Monomer. {ECO:0000250}. | |
| Subcellular location: | Secreted, extracellular space. | |
| Tissue specificity: | Expressed in immature kernels and unpollinated cobs. Weakly expressed in kernels harvested two weeks after anthesis. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:11154345}. | |
| Ptm: | Glycosylated; with approximately 10 hexose residues per site. | |
| Similarity: | Belongs to the oxygen-dependent FAD-linked oxidoreductase family. {ECO:0000305}. | |
