Description : (q06509|comt1_maize : 221.0) Caffeic acid 3-O-methyltransferase (EC 2.1.1.68) (S-adenosysl-L-methionine:caffeic acid 3-O-methyltransferase) (COMT) (CAOMT) - Zea mays (Maize) & (at5g54160 : 217.0) A caffeic acid/5-hydroxyferulic acid O-methyltransferase. Interacts with 14-4-3 proteins in yeast 2 hybrid assay. AtOMT1 (At5g54160) encodes a flavonol 3Ã-O-methyltransferase that is highly active towards quercetin and myricetin. The substrate specificity identifies the enzyme as flavonol 3Ã-methyltransferase which replaces the former annotation of the gene to encode a caffeic acid/5-hydroxyferulic acid O-methyltransferase; O-methyltransferase 1 (OMT1); FUNCTIONS IN: myricetin 3'-O-methyltransferase activity, quercetin 3-O-methyltransferase activity, caffeate O-methyltransferase activity; INVOLVED IN: lignin biosynthetic process, flavonol biosynthetic process; LOCATED IN: cytosol, nucleus, plasma membrane, cytoplasm; EXPRESSED IN: 23 plant structures; EXPRESSED DURING: 14 growth stages; CONTAINS InterPro DOMAIN/s: Winged helix-turn-helix transcription repressor DNA-binding (InterPro:IPR011991), Plant methyltransferase dimerisation (InterPro:IPR012967), O-methyltransferase, family 2 (InterPro:IPR001077), O-methyltransferase, COMT, eukaryota (InterPro:IPR016461); BEST Arabidopsis thaliana protein match is: O-methyltransferase family protein (TAIR:AT1G77520.1); Has 1807 Blast hits to 1807 proteins in 277 species: Archae - 0; Bacteria - 0; Metazoa - 736; Fungi - 347; Plants - 385; Viruses - 0; Other Eukaryotes - 339 (source: NCBI BLink). & (reliability: 434.0) & (original description: no original description)
Condition specificity: 3 h after light (SPM: 1.0, entropy: 0.65, tau: 1.0)
