Structure of soybean β-cyanoalanine synthase and the molecular basis for cyanide detoxification in plants.

The Plant cell - 1 Jun 2012

Yi Hankuil, Juergens Matthew, Jez Joseph M

Abstract excerpt

Plants produce cyanide (CN-) during ethylene biosynthesis in the mitochondria and require β-cyanoalanine synthase (CAS) for CN- detoxification. Recent studies show that CAS is a member of the β-substituted alanine synthase (BSAS) family, which also includes the Cys biosynthesis enzyme O-acetylserine sulfhydrylase (OASS), but how the BSAS evolved distinct metabolic functions is not understood. Here we show that...
