ABSTRACT
Catalytic promiscuity of enzymes plays a pivotal role in driving the evolution plant specialized metabolism. Chalcone synthase (CHS) catalyzes production 2',4,4',6'-tetrahydroxychalcone (THC), common precursor flavonoids, from p-coumaroyl-coenzyme A (-CoA) and three malonyl-CoA molecules. CHS has promiscuous product specificity, producing significant amount p-coumaroyltriacetic lactone (CTAL) vitro. However, mechanistic aspects this remain to be clarified. Here, we show that specificity soybean (GmCHS1) is altered by CoA, reaction product, which selectively inhibits THC (IC
