General annotation (Comments)

Function

1-aminocyclopropane-1-carboxylate synthase (ACS) enzymes catalyze the conversion of S-adenosyl-L-methionine (SAM) into 1-aminocyclopropane-1-carboxylate (ACC), a direct precursor of ethylene.

Catalytic activity

S-adenosyl-L-methionine = 1-aminocyclopropane-1-carboxylate + methylthioadenosine. Ref.8

Cofactor

Pyridoxal phosphate.

Pathway

Alkene biosynthesis; ethylene biosynthesis via S-adenosyl-L-methionine; ethylene from S-adenosyl-L-methionine: step 1/2.

Subunit structure

Homodimer and heterodimer. In vivo, the relevance of heterodimerization with other ACS enzymes is however unsure By similarity.

Tissue specificity

High in developing leaves and in flowers. Expressed in roots and siliques. Ref.8

Induction

By ethylene. By indole-3-acetic acid (IAA) and cycloheximide (CHX). Ref.8

Post-translational modification

Phosphorylated on serine residue by MAP kinase (MPK6). Ref.9

May be processed at its C-terminus.

Miscellaneous

The stability of ACS proteins, and the regulation of such stability, play a central role in ethylene biosynthesis.

Sequence similarities

Belongs to the class-I pyridoxal-phosphate-dependent aminotransferase family.

Biophysicochemical properties

Kinetic parameters:

KM=45 µM for AdoMet

Vmax=32 µM/h/mg enzyme

pH dependence:

Optimum pH is 8.2.
