Structural highlights
Function
RAS_PLESU Involved in the biosynthesis of rosmarinic acid, a compound with antiviral, antimicrobial and anti-inflammatory activities. Can use 4-coumaroyl- and caffeoyl-CoA as hydroxycinnamoyl donors and 4-Hydroxyphenyllactate and 3.4-Dihydroxyphenyllactate, but not shikimate or quinate, as hydroxycinnamoyl acceptors. Can also putatively catalyze amide formation with D-amino acids as acceptors.[1]
