Description
This BioBrick BBa_K527000 encode the plant enzyme Cytochrome P450 CYP79A2. Cytochromes p450 are defined as heme-thiolate proteins featuring a particular spectral signature at 450 nm, thus the name. Despite the label as cytochromes, these proteins are not involved in electron transfers, but act as monooxygenases in a wide range of reactions such as epoxidation, N-dealkylation, O-dealkylation, S-oxidation and hydroxylation.CYP79A2 is an N-hydroxylase converting L-phenylalanine into phenylacetaldoxime, the precursor of the cyanogenic glycoside benzylglucosinolate. Oximes as the phenylacetaldoxime is generally toxic to fungi and is frequently used as chemical fungicides. They function by inhibiting mitochondrial oxidases and thereby promote lipid peroxidation and the production of toxic reactive oxygen species.
