General Information | Comment | Organism |

metabolism | AOS is involved in the jasmonate biochemical pathway, detailed overview | Arabidopsis thaliana |
physiological function | the lipoxygenase-catalyzed addition of molecular oxygen to alpha-linolenic acid initiates jasmonate synthesis by providing a 13-hydroperoxide substrate for formation of an unstable allene oxide by allene oxide synthase. This allene oxide then undergoes enzyme-guided cyclization to produce 12-oxophytodienoic acid. Phe137 stabilizes the carbon-centered radical intermediate, which is essential for AOS activity | Arabidopsis thaliana |
