General annotation (Comments)

Function

In higher plants aldehyde oxidases (AO) appear to be homo- and heterodimeric assemblies of AO subunits with probably different physiological functions. AO-delta seems to be involved in the last step of abscisic acid biosynthesis, at least in leaves and seeds. In vitro, AO-delta oxidizes abscisic aldehyde to abscisic acid (ABA). In vitro, AO-delta also uses indole-3-aldehyde (IAld), benzaldehyde, 1-naphthaldehyde and cinnamaldehyde as substrate; the AAO2-AAO3 dimer also uses abscisic aldehyde as substrate. Ref.6 Ref.7 Ref.10 Ref.11

Catalytic activity

Abscisic aldehyde + H2O + O2 = abscisate + H2O2.

Cofactor

Binds 2 2Fe-2S clusters By similarity.

FAD By similarity.

Molybdopterin By similarity.

Subunit structure

Aldehyde oxidases (AO) are homo- and heterodimers of AO subunits. AO-delta is a AAO3 homodimer. AAO3 also forms a dimer with AAO2. Interacts with PUB44, and this interaction probably results in targeting of this protein to the proteasome. Ref.1 Ref.6 Ref.12

Tissue specificity

Expressed in vascular tissues of all organs, particularly in phloem companion cells and xylem parenchymatic cells. Highly expressed in roots and rosettes, and to lower extent in seedlings, stems and flowers. Expressed at very low levels in siliques and dry seeds. Also detected in root dividing cells (tips and primordia), in mesophyll cells and inside the guard cells. Ref.1 Ref.4 Ref.5 Ref.6 Ref.7 Ref.10 Ref.11

Induction

Transcripts are induced by dehydration, in rosettes but not in roots. Induction by cold, ABA, sodium chloride (NaCl) and polyethylene glycol (PEG) is dependent of the zeaxanthin epoxidase ABA1 protein (ZEP). Induction by glucose requires the short chain alcohol dehydrogenase ABA2 protein. Repressed by mannitol. Ref.1 Ref.6 Ref.8 Ref.9

Miscellaneous

In vitro, can not discriminate between (+) and (-) enantiomers of abscisic acid and leads respectively to (+) and (-) cis-ABA.

Sequence similarities

Belongs to the xanthine dehydrogenase family.

Contains 1 2Fe-2S ferredoxin-type domain.

Contains 1 FAD-binding PCMH-type domain.

Biophysicochemical properties

Kinetic parameters:

All these kinetic values were obtained with AO-delta dimer.

KM=0.51 µM for abscisic aldehyde Ref.6

KM=34 µM for indole-3-aldehyde

KM=44 µM for benzaldehyde
