2.3.1.74 | evolution |
crystal structures of biphenyl synthase from Malus domestica and benzophenone synthase from Hypericum androsaemum are compared with the structure of an archetypal type III polyketide synthase - chalcone synthase from Malus domestica. The results illuminate structural determinants of benzoic acid-specific type III PKSs and expand the understanding of the evolution of specialized metabolic pathways in plants |

2.3.1.74 | physiological function |
chalcone synthase expression in flowers shows significant correlation to the accumulation patterns of anthocyanin during flower development. Its ectopic overexpression in Arabidopsis thaliana tt4 mutants fully restors the pigmentation phenotype of the seed coats, cotyledons and hypocotyls, while transgenic Petunia hybrida expressing CHS1 shows flower color alteration from white to pink |
