Gene Symbol
- Os06g0102100 <=> OsF2H,F2H,CYP93G2
Function
- Rice CYP93G2 Is a Close Homolog of Sorghum CYP93G3
- CYP93G2 is related to the CYP93B subfamily, which consists of dicot flavone synthase II enzymes.
- CYP93G2 generates 2-hydroxy-flavanones, which are modified by O-glycosylation in transgenic Arabidopsis (Arabidopsis thaliana).
- CYP93G2 is the first enzyme that channels flavanones to C-glycosylflavone biosynthesis in rice.
Expression
- The mutant plants did not show observable differences from the wild-type plants with regard to growth, flowering time, or seed yield.
Both tricin and isovitexin are frequently O-glycosylated (Cavaliere et al., 2005), and the aglycones can be released by acid treatment.
- In the acid-hydrolyzed methanolic extracts of CYP93G2 mutant leaves, the levels of tricin detected were comparable to those of wild-type samples (Fig. 5C). However, the accumulation of isovitexin was substantially reduced in the mutant plants, suggesting that CYP93G2 is required for C-glycosylflavone production in rice. In nonhydrolyzed leaf extracts, a range of potential flavone metabolites were detected in the wild-type samples following HPLC separation, which was monitored at 350 nm (Fig. 5D).
- On the other hand, the majority of these UV light-absorbing compounds eluted at 15 to 22 min were markedly reduced in absorbance in the mutant chromatogram.
