Cinnamate metabolism in ripening fruit. Characterization of a UDP-glucose:cinnamate glucosyltransferase from strawberry.
Lunkenbein S., Bellido M., Aharoni A., Salentijn E.M., Kaldenhoff R., Coiner H.A., Munoz-Blanco J., Schwab W.
Strawberry (Fragaria x ananassa) fruit accumulate (hydroxy)cinnamoyl glucose (Glc) esters, which may serve as the biogenetic precursors of diverse secondary metabolites, such as the flavor constituents methyl cinnamate and ethyl cinnamate.

Strawberry (Fragaria x ananassa) fruit accumulate (hydroxy)cinnamoyl glucose (Glc) esters, which may serve as the biogenetic precursors of diverse secondary metabolites, such as the flavor constituents methyl cinnamate and ethyl cinnamate. Here, we report on the isolation of a cDNA encoding a UDP-Glc:cinnamate glucosyltransferase (Fragaria x ananassa glucosyltransferase 2 [FaGT2]) from ripe strawberry cv Elsanta that catalyzes the formation of 1-O-acyl-Glc esters of cinnamic acid, benzoic acid, and their derivatives in vitro. Quantitative real-time PCR analysis indicated that FaGT2 transcripts accumulate to high levels during strawberry fruit ripening and to lower levels in flowers. The levels in fruits positively correlated with the in planta concentration of cinnamoyl, p-coumaroyl, and caffeoyl Glc. In the leaf, high amounts of Glc esters were detected, but FaGT2 mRNA was not observed. The expression of FaGT2 is negatively regulated by auxin, induced by oxidative stress, and by hydroxycinnamic acids. Although FaGT2 glucosylates a number of aromatic acids in vitro, quantitative analysis in transgenic lines containing an antisense construct of FaGT2 under the control of the constitutive 35S cauliflower mosaic virus promoter demonstrated that the enzyme is only involved in the formation of cinnamoyl Glc and p-coumaroyl Glc during ripening. << Less

Previously, we isolated t-cinnamoyl-D-glucose as a possible intermediate in chlorogenic acid biosynthesis from sweet potato root. The enzyme which catalyzes the formation of t-cinnamoyl-D-glucose has been purified 539-fold from sweet potato root (Ipomoea batatas Lam.) and characterized. It required UDP-glucose as a glucosyl donor. Its molecular weight was estimated to be 45,000 by gel filtration chromatography through Sephadex G-100. Its Km values were 0.2 mM for t-cinnamic acid and 0.1 mM for UDP-glucose. It also showed activity toward various aromatic carboxylic acids other than t-cinnamic acid with the following relative activities at the concentration of 1.8 mM: t-cinnamic acid, 100; p-coumaric acid, 57; o-coumaric acid, 52; caffeic acid, 15; benzoic acid, 71; ferulic acid, 27; 4-hydroxyl-3-methoxy-benzoic acid, 35. When p-coumaric acid was used as a substrate, the enzyme introduced the glucosyl group exclusively to a carboxyl group, not to a hydroxyl group on a benzene ring. It was inhibited by p-chloromercuribenzoate and HgCl2. Its activity in the extract from sliced root decreased during the first 28 h after slicing, then increased to the original level by 75 h. The apparent decrease seemed to be caused by the appearance of an inhibitory factor of high molecular weight in the tissue extract. << Less

Fragaria x ananassa UDP-glucose:cinnamate glucosyltransferase (FaGT2) catalyzes the formation of cinnamic acid and p-coumaric acid glucose esters during strawberry fruit ripening. Here, the ripening and oxidative stress induced enzyme was further characterized by testing a range of structurally different substrates of natural and unnatural origin in vitro and comparing their kinetic parameters to elucidate its additional biological functions. The accepted substrates ranged from derivatives of cinnamic acid and benzoic acid to heterocyclic and aliphatic compounds resulting in the formation of O- and S-glucose esters, as well as O-glucosides. In planta assays confirmed the formation of glucose derivatives after injection of the substrates into strawberry fruits. Common chemical and structural features required for activity were the easy subtraction of a proton from the glucosylation site and the conjugation of the formed anion with pi-electrons as best realized in the simplest substrate sorbic acid. In addition to cinnamic acid, the natural compounds anthranilic acid, trans-2-hexenoic acid, nicotinic acid and 2,5-dimethyl-4-hydroxy-3[2H]-furanone were glucosylated in vitro. But FaGT2 was also capable of efficiently converting xenobiotic substances like the herbicide 2,4,5-trichlorophenol and the herbicide analogue 3,5-dichloro-4-hydroxybenzoic acid. The results suggest that FaGT2 is involved in the detoxification of xenobiotics in accordance to its induction by oxidative stress. << Less
