Description
AI-generatedReviewed
The Cation-dependent O-methyltransferase family is involved in the methylation of various substrates using S-adenosyl-L-methionine (SAM) as the methyl donor. Members of this family play crucial roles in the biosynthesis of phenylpropanoids, alkaloids, and flavonoids, contributing to plant cell wall reinforcement, pigmentation, and defense responses. They catalyze the O-methylation of compounds such as caffeoyl-CoA, norbelladine, and anthocyanins. Some members are implicated in the production of volatile phenylpropanoids in flowers, while others participate in the biosynthesis of bioactive compounds with potential anticancer properties. The family also includes enzymes involved in the modification of tRNA and the biosynthesis of macrolide antibiotics and polymethoxylated flavonoids.
