Abstract: | Two malonyltransferases were isolated from irradiated cell suspension cultures of parsley (Petroselinum hortense) and extensively purified. One enzyme was most active with flavone and flavonol 7-O-glycosides as substrates; the other enzyme preferentially malonylated flavonol 3-O-glucosides. The substrate specificity of the enzymes in vitro was in good agreement with the pattern of malonylated flavonoid glycosides occurring in the cell cultures in vivo. The apparent Km values for the most efficient substrates, including the donor of the acyl residue, malonyl-CoA, were about 4–20 μm. Both malonyltransferases had an apparent molecular weight of approximately 50,000. |
