UniProt functional annotation for Q9FI78

UniProt code: Q9FI78.

Organism: Arabidopsis thaliana (Mouse-ear cress).
Taxonomy: Eukaryota; Viridiplantae; Streptophyta; Embryophyta; Tracheophyta; Spermatophyta; Magnoliopsida; eudicotyledons; Gunneridae; Pentapetalae; rosids; malvids; Brassicales; Brassicaceae; Camelineae; Arabidopsis.
 
Function: Acyltransferase involved in the biosynthesis of lignin (PubMed:15161961, PubMed:26858288). Accepts caffeoyl-CoA and p- coumaroyl-CoA as substrates and transfers the acyl group on both shikimate and quinate acceptors (PubMed:15161961). {ECO:0000269|PubMed:15161961, ECO:0000269|PubMed:26858288}.
 
Catalytic activity: Reaction=4-coumaroyl-CoA + shikimate = CoA + trans-4- coumaroylshikimate; Xref=Rhea:RHEA:12124, ChEBI:CHEBI:36208, ChEBI:CHEBI:57287, ChEBI:CHEBI:57355, ChEBI:CHEBI:57768; EC=2.3.1.133;
Similarity: Belongs to the plant acyltransferase family. {ECO:0000305}.
