Encodes an enzyme which specifically converts IAA to its methyl ester form MelIAA. This gene belongs to the family of carboxyl methyltransferases whose members catalyze the transfer of the methyl group from S-adenosyl-L-methionine to carboxylic acid-containing substrates to form small molecule methyl esters. Expression of TCP genes is downregulated in mutant iamt1-D.
Computational Description
IAA carboxylmethyltransferase 1 (IAMT1); CONTAINS InterPro DOMAIN/s: SAM dependent carboxyl methyltransferase (InterPro:IPR005299); BEST Arabidopsis thaliana protein match is: gibberellic acid methyltransferase 2 (TAIR:AT5G56300.1); Has 1807 Blast hits to 1807 proteins in 277 species: Archae - 0; Bacteria - 0; Metazoa - 736; Fungi - 347; Plants - 385; Viruses - 0; Other Eukaryotes - 339 (source: NCBI BLink).
