Abstract

A gene has been isolated from Arabidopsis encoding sinapoylglucose:malate sinapoyltransferase (SMT). SMT is responsible for the substitution of a glucose moiety on aromatic acid glucosides with a malate moiety in plant vacuoles. The enzyme is useful for the production of small molecules for materials manufacture.
