Characterization of a Vitis vinifera cv. Cabernet Sauvignon 3',5'-O-methyltransferase showing strong preference for anthocyanins and glycosylated flavonols.

At ripening initiation in red grapevine (Vitis vinifera) berries, the exocarp turns color from green to red and then to purple due to the accumulation and extent of methylation of anthocyanins. The accumulation of transcripts encoding an O-methyltransferase was recently shown to be closely correlated with the onset of ripening and the degree of blue/purple pigmentation in grapevine berries; however, the biochemical function of this gene has remained uncharacterized. In this study, an O-methyltransferase cDNA that showed a distinct expression pattern when compared to closely related sequences was expressed in Escherichia coli and enzyme assays were carried out with a broad array of anthocyanin and other flavonoid substrates. We demonstrate that this enzyme carries out 3',5'-O-methylation of anthocyanins and flavonol compounds in vitro, which are known to be present in grape berries, with a preference for glycosylated substrates. The highest relative specific activity for the enzyme was found with delphinidin 3-O-glucoside as substrate. The enzyme is not able to methylate flavan type skeletons with chiral centers, such as either catechins or dihydroquercetin. The enzyme showed negligible specific activity for caffeoyl-CoA, compared to flavonol and anthocyanin substrates. Phylogenetic analysis of the O-methyltransferase suggests that it may be a member of a distinct subclass of Type 2 bivalent metal-dependent S-adenosyl-methionine O-methyltransferases. << Less

A flavonol O-methyltransferase from Catharanthus roseus performing two sequential methylations.
Cacace S., Schroder G., Wehinger E., Strack D., Schmidt J., Schroder J.
Protein extracts from dark-grown cell suspension cultures of Catharanthus roseus (Madagascar periwinkle) contained several O-methyltransferase (OMT) activities, including the 16-hydroxytabersonine O-methyltransferase (16HT-OMT) in indole alkaloid biosynthesis.

Protein extracts from dark-grown cell suspension cultures of Catharanthus roseus (Madagascar periwinkle) contained several O-methyltransferase (OMT) activities, including the 16-hydroxytabersonine O-methyltransferase (16HT-OMT) in indole alkaloid biosynthesis. This enzyme was enriched through several purification steps, including affinity chromatography on adenosine agarose. SDS-PAGE of the purified protein preparation revealed a protein band at the size expected for plant OMTs (38-43 kDa). Mass spectrometry indicated two dominant protein species of similar mass in this band, and sequences of tryptic peptides showed similarities to known OMTs. Homology-based RT-PCR identified cDNAs for four new OMTs. Two of these cDNAs (CrOMT2 and CrOMT4) encoded the proteins dominant in the preparation enriched for 16HT-OMT. The proteins were closely related (73% identity), but both shared only 48-53% identity with the closest relatives found in the public databases. The enzyme functions were investigated with purified recombinant proteins after cDNA expression in Escherichia coli. Unexpectedly, both proteins had no detectable 16HT-OMT activity, and CrOMT4 was inactive with all substrates investigated. CrOMT2 was identified as a flavonoid OMT that was expressed in dark-grown cell cultures and copurified with 16HT-OMT. It represented a new type of OMT that performs two sequential methylations at the 3'- and 5'-positions of the B-ring in myricetin (flavonol) and dihydromyricetin (dihydroflavonol). The resulting methylation pattern is characteristic for C. roseus flavonol glycosides and anthocyanins, and it is proposed that CrOMT2 is involved in their biosynthesis. << Less

A novel cation-dependent o-methyltransferase involved in anthocyanin methylation in grapevine.

Anthocyanins are major pigments in colored grape (Vitis vinifera) berries, and most of them are monomethoxylated or dimethoxylated. We report here the functional characterization of an anthocyanin O-methyltransferase (AOMT) from grapevine. The expression pattern in two cultivars with different anthocyanin methylation profiles (Syrah and Nebbiolo) showed a peak at start ripening (véraison), when the concentrations of all methylated anthocyanins begin to increase. The purified recombinant AOMT protein was active on both anthocyanins and flavonols in vitro, with K(m) in the micromolar range, and was dependent on divalent cations for activity. AOMT showed a preference for 3',5' methylation when a 3',4',5' hydroxylated anthocyanin substrate was tested. In order to assess its in planta activity, we performed transient expression of AOMT in tobacco (Nicotiana benthamiana) leaves expressing the Production of Anthocyanin Pigment1 (PAP1) transcription factor from Arabidopsis (Arabidopsis thaliana). PAP1 expression in leaves induced the accumulation of the nonmethylated anthocyanin delphinidin 3-rutinoside. The coexpression of PAP1 and AOMT resulted in an accumulation of malvidin 3-rutinoside. We also showed that AOMT localized exclusively in the cytoplasm of tobacco leaf cells. These results demonstrate the ability of this enzyme to methylate anthocyanins both in vitro and in vivo, indicating that AOMT plays a major role in anthocyanin biosynthesis in grape berries. << Less
