Genome-wide characterization of PAL, C4H, and 4CL genes regulating the phenylpropanoid pathway in Vanilla planifolia.

ABSTRACT: Phenylalanine ammonia lyase (PAL), cinnamate 4-hydroxylase (C4H) and 4-coumarate: CoA ligase (4CL) genes encodes the enzymes catalyzing the steps of the phenylpropanoid pathway which is responsible for the biosynthesis of a diverse range of therapeutically important phenylpropanoids. In the present study, identification and characterization of the PAL, C4H and 4CL gene family in an economically and medicinally important orchid species, Vanilla planifolia was done. Six PAL, two C4H and five 4CL proteins have been identified in Vanilla planifolia. All the amino acid residues related to the enzymatic activity were found to be conserved in all the identified proteins. Subcellular localization of VplPAL, VplC4H and Vpl4CL proteins predicted their location in the cytoplasm, endoplasmic reticulum
