Type: | Family | Name: | 4-coumarate--CoA ligase |
Description: | This entry represents the 4-coumarate--CoA ligase associated with biosynthesis of the 4-hydroxy cinnamyl (also called 4-coumaroyl) chromophore covalently linked to a Cys residue in photoactive yellow protein of Rhodobacter spp. and Ectothiorhodospira halophila. This enzyme is designated and therefore joins a number of plant enzymes linked to lignin biosynthesis with similar names. | Short Name: | 4_coum_CoA_lig |
