Complete Proteomic-Based Enzyme Reaction and Inhibition Kinetics Reveal How Monolignol Biosynthetic Enzyme Families Affect Metabolic Flux and Lignin in Populus trichocarpa
The Plant Cell, 26(3), 894–914.
MeSH headings : Kinetics; Lignin / metabolism; Mass Spectrometry; Plant Proteins / metabolism; Polymorphism, Single Nucleotide; Populus / metabolism; Proteome
TL;DR:
A proteomic-based predictive kinetic metabolic-flux model was developed for monolignol biosynthesis in Populus trichocarpa and predicts how pathway enzymes affect lignin content and composition, explains a long-standing paradox regarding the regulation of monolIGNol subunit ratios in lignIn, and reveals novel mechanisms involved in theregulation of lign in biosynthesis.
