feruloyl-CoA:quinate O-(hydroxycinnamoyl)transferase

feruloyl-CoA + quinate = CoA + O-feruloylquinate [RN:R02195]

R02195;
(other) R01945
Reaction

feruloyl-CoA [CPD:C00406];
quinate [CPD:C00296]

Caffeoyl-CoA and 4-coumaroyl-CoA can also act as donors, but more slowly. Involved in the biosynthesis of chlorogenic acid in sweet potato and, with EC 2.3.1.98 chlorogenate---glucarate O-hydroxycinnamoyltransferase, in the formation of caffeoyl-CoA in tomato.

EC 2.3.1.99 created 1989, modified 1990
