Description : (p31687|4cl2_soybn : 667.0) 4-coumarate--CoA ligase 2 (EC 6.2.1.12) (4CL 2) (4-coumaroyl-CoA synthase 2) (Clone 4CL16) - Glycine max (Soybean) & (at1g65060 : 649.0) encodes an isoform of 4-coumarate:CoA ligase (4CL), which is involved in the last step of the general phenylpropanoid pathway. mRNA levels are not induced in response to wounding or to fungal infection by P. parasitica. mRNA is expressed in flowers, to a lesser degree in mature leaves and siliques and marginally in seedling roots and bolting stems of mature plants. The catalytic efficiency was in the following (descending) order: p-coumaric acid, caffeic acid, ferulic acid, cinnamic acid and 5-OH-ferulic acid. At4CL3 was unable to use sinapic acid as substrate.; 4-coumarate:CoA ligase 3 (4CL3); CONTAINS InterPro DOMAIN/s: AMP-binding, conserved site (InterPro:IPR020845), AMP-dependent synthetase/ligase (InterPro:IPR000873); BEST Arabidopsis thaliana protein match is: 4-coumarate:CoA ligase 2 (TAIR:AT3G21240.1); Has 78268 Blast hits to 71395 proteins in 3651 species: Archae - 1111; Bacteria - 51774; Metazoa - 3299; Fungi - 4373; Plants - 2538; Viruses - 1; Other Eukaryotes - 15172 (source: NCBI BLink). & (reliability: 1298.0) & (original description: no original description)
