AMP-dependent synthetase and ligase family protein;(source:Araport11)
TAIR Curator Summary:
Encodes a peroxisomal protein involved in the activation of fatty acids through esterification with CoA. At4g05160 preferentially activates fatty acids with medium chain length (C6:0 and C7:0) as well as even-numbered long-chain fatty acids (C14:0, C16:0 and C18:0). At4g05160 was also able to catalyze the conversion of OPC-6:0 to its CoA ester and is therefore thought to be involved in the peroxisomal β-oxidation steps of jasmonic acid biosynthesis.
TAIR Short Description:
AMP-dependent synthetase and ligase family protein
Data demonstrate that At4g05160 and At5g63380 have the capacity to contribute to jasmonic acid biosynthesis by initiating the beta-oxidative chain shortening of its precursors.
