in silico studies suggest that alcoholic and aldehydic substrates are preferred to those of caffeic, sinapic, and ferulic acid by both caffeic acid-O-methyltransferase, EC 2.1.1.68, and caffeoyl-coenzyme A-O-methyltransferase with a marked preference for CoA ester substrates over free acids, aldehydes, and alcohols

in the active site of the enzyme surrounded by an octahedral arrangement of hydroxyl and carboxyl ligands, mediates the deprotonation of the caffeoyl 3-hydroxyl group and maintains the resultant oxoanion in close proximity to the reactive methyl group of S-adenosyl-L-methionine allowing for facile transmethylation to occur, restores activity of EDTA treated CCoAOMT to 100% the level of untreated CCoAOMT
molecular docking of 16 putative substrates (intermediates of monolignol biosynthesis pathway). Both caffeic acid-O-methyltransferase, EC 2.1.1.68, and caffeoyl-coenzyme A-O-methyltransferase interact with all 16 substrates in a similar manner, with thiol esters being the most potent and binding of these putative substrates to caffeoyl-coenzyme A-O-methyltransferase being more efficient

gene expression is strongly induced by harvesting and wounding but not by heat shock. The promoter of the hi12 gene contains several stress response cis-elements
downregulating caffeoyl CoA 3-O-methyltransferase in transgenic alfalfa lines neither reduces syringyl lignin units nor wall-bound ferulate, inconsistent with a role for this enzyme in 3-O-methylation of syringyl monolignol precursors and hydroxycinnamic acids
Structural and compositional modifications in lignin of transgenic alfalfa down-regulated in caffeic acid 3-O-methyltransferase and caffeoyl coenzyme A 3-O-methyltransferase
