(+)-lariciresinol:NADP+ oxidoreductase
The reaction is catalysed in vivo in the opposite direction to that shown. A multifunctional enzyme that further reduces the product to the lignan (-)-secoisolariciresinol [EC 1.23.1.2, (+)-lariciresinol reductase]. Isolated from the plants Forsythia intermedia [1,2], Thuja plicata (western red cedar) [3], Linum perenne (perennial flax) [5] and Linum corymbulosum [6]. The 4-pro-R hydrogen of NADH is transferred to the 7-pro-R position of lariciresinol [1].
(+)-pinoresinol is successively converted into (-+)-lariciresinol and further into (-)-secoisolariciresinol by bifunctional enzyme PrR2, cf. EC 1.23.1.2

quantitative RT-PCR expression analysis of LuPLR1 and LuPLR2 expressions in leaves and seeds, steady-state level of LuPLR1 mRNA in leaf tissues. Spatiotemporal LuPLR2 gene expression pattern in relation to yatein biosynthesis. The LuPLR2 gene encoding the second PLR isoform is highly expressed in vegetative tissue with highest levels in young leaves and to a lesser extent in old leaves and stem

LuPLR2 is involved in the early steps of (-)-secoisolariciresinol ((-)-SECO) biosynthesis and derived lignans (yatein, hinokinin, bursehernin, thujaplicatin, and matairesinol dimethyl ether) accumulated mainly in leaves. In vivo involvement of the LuPLR2 gene in the biosynthesis of (-)-yatein accumulated in flax leaves. The enzyme expression is correlated to yatein, a lignan, accumulation in plant leaves. Lignans are probably involved in plant defense mechanisms and given the presence of several cis-regulatory elements potentially involved in the plant defense response revealed by the in silico analysis of LuPLR2, presence of two MYB-binding sites in LuPLR2
analysis of transcriptional regulation of the LuPLR2 gene from flax, overview. Spatiotemporal LuPLR2 gene expression pattern in relation to (-)-yatein biosynthesis

isozyme LuPLR2 overexpression in Linum usitatissimum plants causes yatein accumulation. The deletion of the region from -473 to -170, containing four putative-binding sites for the WRKY transcription factor involved in the response to wounding or elicitors, results in a complete loss of the response to both methyljasmonate treatment and wounding. A significant decrease in the LuPLR2 gene expression is caused by the deletion of the region from -826 to -473, which contains two putative two binding sites for the WRKY transcription factor, involved in the plant defense response, overview. The four regions, among known cis-motifs from plants, reveal the presence of two MYB-binding sites

gene PLR2, recombinant expression of N-terminal and C-terminal fusions of LuPLR2 with EGFP or GUS in transgenic tobacco mesophyll cells, and LuPLR2 overexpression in transgenic flax plants, via transformation by Agrobacterium tumefaciens strain GV3101, quantitative RT-PCR expression analysis of LuPLR1 and LuPLR2 expressions in leaves and seeds, subcloning in Escherichia coli strain HB101. cis-Elements, responsible for gene expression in response to stress, are located in separate portions of the LuPLR2 promoter, presence of two MYB-binding sites. Quantitative RT-PCR expression analysis of LuPLR2 in transgenic seedlings, analysis of transcriptional regulation of the LuPLR2 gene
methyljasmonate triggers the expression of LuPLR2 leading to an over-accumulation of yatein, while salicylic acid fails to act strongly on the expression of this gene and yatein accumulation is not stimulated. LuPLR2 gene expression shows an increase in wounded plants, LuPLR2 gene expression is induced in wounded leaves compared to the control, cis-elements, responsible for gene expression in response to stress, are located in separate portions of the LuPLR2 promoter. LuPLR2 expression and yatein production are increased by methyl jasmonate and wounding
