Abstract:

Plant serine carboxypeptidase-like acyltransferases (SCPL-AT) have similar structural characteristics and high homology compared to the serine carboxypeptidase. They can transfer the acyl from acyl glucose esters to many natural products, participate in the acylation modification of plant secondary metabolites, enrich the structural diversity of natural products, and improve the physicochemical properties such as water solubility and stability of compounds. This review summarizes the structural characteristics, catalytic mechanism, functional characterization, and biocatalytic applications of SCPL-AT from plants. This will help to promote the functional characterization of these acyltransferase genes and the biosynthesis of useful plant secondary metabolites by synthetic biotechnology.
