CYP79A1 and CYP71E1 catalyze the conversion of the parent amino acid tyrosine to p-hydroxymandelonitrile, the aglycone of the cyanogenic glucoside dhurrin. CYP79A1 catalyzes the conversion of tyrosine to p-hydroxyphenylacetaldoxime and CYP71E1, the subsequent conversion top-hydroxymandelonitrile.p-Hydroxymandelonitrile is labile and dissociates intop-hydroxybenzaldehyde and hydrogen cyanide, the same products released from dhurrin upon cell disruption as a result of pest or herbivore attack. In transgenic plants expressing CYP79A1 as well as CYP71E1, the activity of CYP79A1 is higher than that of CYP71E1, resulting in the accumulation of severalp-hydroxyphenylacetaldoxime-derived products in the addition to those derived from p-hydroxymandelonitrile. Transgenic tobacco and Arabidopsis plants expressing only CYP79A1 accumulate the same p-hydroxyphenylacetaldoxime-derived products as transgenic plants expressing both sorghum cytochrome P450 enzymes. In addition, the transgenic CYP79A1 Arabidopsis plants accumulate large amounts ofp-hydroxybenzylglucosinolate. In transgenic Arabidopsis expressing CYP71E1, this enzyme and the enzymes of the pre-existing glucosinolate pathway compete for thep-hydroxyphenylacetaldoxime as substrate, resulting in the formation of small amounts ofp-hydroxybenzylglucosinolate. Cyanogenic glucosides are phytoanticipins, and the present study demonstrates the feasibility of expressing cyanogenic compounds in new plant species by gene transfer technology to improve pest and disease resistance.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1104\/pp.123.4.1437","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2002,7,27]],"date-time":"2002-07-27T01:01:20Z","timestamp":1027731680000},"page":"1437-1448","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":76,"title":["Transgenic Tobacco and Arabidopsis Plants Expressing the Two Multifunctional Sorghum Cytochrome P450 Enzymes, CYP79A1 and CYP71E1, Are Cyanogenic and Accumulate Metabolites Derived from Intermediates in Dhurrin Biosynthesis"],"prefix":"10.1093","volume":"123","author":[{"given":"S\u00f8ren","family":"Bak","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Plant Biochemistry Laboratory, Department of Plant Biology (S.B., B.A.H., B.L.M.),"},{"name":"Center of Molecular Plant Physiology (PlaCe) (S.B., C.E.O., B.A.H., B.L.M.), Royal Veterinary and Agricultural University, DK\u20131871 Frederiksberg C, Copenhagen, Denmark"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Carl Erik","family":"Olsen","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Chemistry (C.E.O.), and"},{"name":"Center of Molecular Plant Physiology (PlaCe) (S.B., C.E.O., B.A.H., B.L.M.), Royal Veterinary and Agricultural University, DK\u20131871 Frederiksberg C, Copenhagen, Denmark"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Barbara Ann","family":"Halkier","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Plant Biochemistry Laboratory, Department of Plant Biology (S.B., B.A.H., B.L.M.),"},{"name":"Center of Molecular Plant Physiology (PlaCe) (S.B., C.E.O., B.A.H., B.L.M.), Royal Veterinary and Agricultural University, DK\u20131871 Frederiksberg C, Copenhagen, Denmark"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Birger Lindberg","family":"M\u00f8ller","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Plant Biochemistry Laboratory, Department of Plant Biology (S.B., B.A.H., B.L.M.),"},{"name":"Center of Molecular Plant Physiology (PlaCe) (S.B., C.E.O., B.A.H., B.L.M.), Royal Veterinary and Agricultural University, DK\u20131871 Frederiksberg C, Copenhagen, Denmark"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"286","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2000,8,1]]},"reference":[{"key":"2021062510455720600_R1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"393","DOI":"10.1023\/A:1005915507497","article-title":"Cloning of three A-type cytochromes P450, CYP71E1, CYP98 and CYP99 from Sorghum bicolor (L.)
