although SbCCR1 displays higher affinity for caffeoyl-CoA or 4-coumaroyl-CoA than for feruloyl-CoA, the enzyme shows significantly higher activity for the latter substrate. In the first catalytic step, pro-R hydride transfer occurs from the C4 atom of NADPH to the reactive thioester carbonyl. The resulting oxyanion is temporarily stabilized by the oxyanion hole established from the side chain hydroxyl groups of Ser149 and Tyr183. Collapse of the tetrahedral intermediate is then followed by C-S bond cleavage and protonation of the CoA thiolate, in the presence of NADP+, there is very low affinity for the CoA ester compounds, which precludes the formation of a nonproductive complex, catalytic mechanism and substrate specificity, overview
although SbCCR1 displays higher affinity for caffeoyl-CoA or 4-coumaroyl-CoA than for feruloyl-CoA, the enzyme shows significantly higher activity for the latter substrate. Substrate specificity, molecular docking, overview. Thr154 of SbCCR1 and other CCRs likely confers strong substrate specificity for feruloyl-CoA over other cinnamoyl-CoA thioesters
Two cinnamoyl-CoA reductase (CCR) genes from Arabidopsis thaliana are differentially expressed during development and in response to infection with pathogenic bacteria.
the highest expression levels of the three CCR genes occur in stem. The expression levels of SbCCR1 and SbCCR2-2 in stem and root are higher than in spikelet and leaf, but those of SbCCR2-1 in stem and spikelet are higher than in leaf and root. The gene copy number of SbCCR1 is significantly higher than those of SbCCR2-1 and SbCCR2-2 in root, leaf, stem and spikelet, especially in stem

the substrate-binding domain of the SbCCR1 is surrounded by two groups of a-helices, and the floor of the substrate-binding pocket is largely composed of beta-strands. Residues T154 and Y310 ae involved in substrate binding with ferulic acid, Tyr310 binds the 4-hydroxyl of feruloyl-CoA, while Thr154 binds the 3-methoxy group of this molecule. Molecular docking and modelling, overview
cinnamoyl-coenzyme A reductase (CCR) catalyzes the reduction of hydroxycinnamoyl-CoA esters using NADPH to produce hydroxycinnamyl aldehyde precursors in lignin synthesis. Isozyme SbCCR2 displays greater activity toward 4-coumaroyl-CoA than does isozyme SbCCR1, which implies a role in the synthesis of defense-related lignin. CCR1 is involved in lignification of stem tissues, whereas CCR2 is involved in lignification in response to attack by pathogens

the mutation in SbCCR1 leads to broader substrate specificity and faster turnover. The T154Y mutant exhibits 4.9 and 144fold increases in catalytic efficiency for feruloyl-CoA and 4-coumaroyl-CoA, respectively, over those of wild-type SbCCR1
