Gene Symbol

  • Os04g0101400 <=> CYP93G1,OsFNSII,FNSII,OsCYP93G1

Function

  • CYP93G1 is a bona fide flavone synthase II (FNSII) that catalyzes the direct conversion of flavanones to flavones.
  • In recombinant enzyme assays, isCYP93G1 is desaturated naringenin and eriodictyol to apigenin and luteolin, respectively.
  • Transgenic expression of CYP93G1 in Arabidopsis (Arabidopsis thaliana) resulted in the accumulation of different flavone O-glycosides, which are not naturally present in cruciferous plants.
  • CYP93G1 is a key branch point enzyme channeling flavanones to the biosynthesis of tricin O-linked conjugates in rice.

Phenotypic analysis

  • To understand its metabolic roles in planta, the coding sequence of CYP93G1 was placed under the control of the cauliflower mosaic virus 35S promoter and transformed into the Arabidopsis transparent testa6 (tt6) mutant.
  • Transgenic seeds were germinated on medium devoid of nitrogen sources. Under such conditions, the endogenous flavonoid pathway in Arabidopsis is highly active in providing potential substrates for the engineered enzyme.
  • Ten-day-old T1 seedlings were harvested for methanol extraction, followed by acid hydrolysis, which releases flavonoid aglycones from O-linked conjugates. HPLC-MS/MS analysis detected the presence of apigenin, lu- teolin, and chrysoeriol in all of the CYP93G1 transgenic plant samples (Fig. 4A).
