Bahd superfamily acyltransferases play an important role in catalyzing and regulating secondary metabolism in plants. The seeds of wurfbainia villosa (homotypic synonym Amomum villosum) are rich in ba Here we identified 64 members of the bahd gene family from the genome of w Villosa using both pf02458 (transferase) and pf07247 (aatase) as hidden markov model (hmm) to screen the bahd genes. The bahd acyltransferase superfamily exhibits various biological roles in plants, including regulating fruit quality, catalytic synthesizing of terpene, phenolics and esters, and improving stress resistance.
Here, we review the protein structure, catalytic mechanism, and phylogenetic reconstruction of plant bahd acyltransferases to describe their family characteristics, acylation reactions, and the processes of potential functional differentiation. These results help elucidate the structure, evolution, and functions of the p Ginseng bahd gene family, and establish the foundation for further research on the mechanism of bahd genes in ginsenoside biosynthesis.
