The Impact of Nitrile-Specifier Proteins on Indolic Carbinol and Nitrile Formation in Homogenates of Arabidopsis thaliana.

ABSTRACT: Glucosinolates, specialized metabolites of the Brassicales including Brassica crops and Arabidopsis thaliana, have attracted considerable interest as chemical defenses and health-promoting compounds. Their biological activities are mostly due to breakdown products formed upon mixing with co-occurring myrosinases and specifier proteins, which can result in multiple products with differing properties, even from a single glucosinolate. Whereas product profiles of aliphatic glucosinolates have frequently been reported, indole glucosinolate breakdown may result in complex mixtures, the analysis of which challenging. The aim of this study was to assess the breakdown of indole glucosinolates in A. thaliana root and rosette homogenates and to test the impact of nitrile-specifi
