Eucalyptus gunnii

The reduction of />coumaroyl-CoA (3.31) to />coumaryl aldehyde (3.69) is catalyzed by the enzyme cinnamoyl-CoA NADP oxidoreductase (CCR). This enzyme was initially purified from soybean cultures (Wegenmayer et al., 1976), and was later on efficiently isolated from lignifying cambium of eucalyps (Eucalyptus gunnii) (Gofifiier et al., 1994). A CCR cDNA was identified in a cDNA library that was screened with oligonucleotiede derived from the peptide sequence of the CCR protein. CCR is considered the first enzyme committed towards the biosynthesis of monolignols and shows...
