| Sysname |
UDP-D-glucose:(S)-4-hydroxymandelonitrile beta-D-glucosyltransferase |
| Reaction(IUBMB) |
UDP-D-glucose + (S)-4-hydroxymandelonitrile = UDP +
(S)-4-hydroxymandelonitrile beta-D-glucoside [RN:R04296] |
| Reaction(KEGG) |
R04296;
(other) R04948
 |
| Substrate |
UDP-D-glucose [CPD:C00029];
(S)-4-hydroxymandelonitrile [CPD:C03742] |
| Product |
UDP [CPD:C00015];
(S)-4-hydroxymandelonitrile beta-D-glucoside [CPD:C05143] |
| Comment |
Acts on a wide range of substrates in vitro, including cyanohydrins,
terpenoids, phenolics, hexanol derivatives and plant hormones, in a
regiospecific manner [3]. This enzyme is involved in the
biosynthesis of the cyanogenic glucoside dhurrin in sorghum, along
with EC 1.14.13.41, tyrosine N-monooxygenase and EC 1.14.13.68,
4-hydroxyphenylacetaldehyde oxime monooxygenase. This reaction
prevents the disocciation and release of toxic hydrogen cyanide [3]. |
