Popis: Summary An enzyme catalyzing the hydroxylation of the 3-position of p -coumaroyl-Coenzyme A has been demonstrated in petal extracts of Silene dioica plants. For optimal activity NADPH, FAD, and molecular oxygen are necessary. The hydroxlating activity is governed by gene P ; in pink petals of p/p plants this activity was absent. In vivo gene P controls both the hydroxylation pattern of the anthocyanin B-ring and that of the acyl group. The enzyme can use p -coumaric acid as non-substrate effector. In this case hydrogen peroxide is formed and p -coumaric acid remains unchanged during the course of the reaction. Although the enzyme isolated from petals of p/p plants was not able to hydroxylate p -coumaroyl- CoA, it could still use p -coumaric acid as non-substrate effector.
