Other name(s): 4-hydroxybenzeneacetaldehyde oxime monooxygenase; cytochrome P450II-dependent monooxygenase; NADPH-cytochrome P450 reductase (CYP71E1); CYP71E1; 4-hydroxyphenylacetaldehyde oxime,NADPH:oxygen oxidoreductase
Systematic name: (E)-4-hydroxyphenylacetaldehyde oxime,[reduced NADPH—hemoprotein reductase]:oxygen oxidoreductase
Comments: This cytochrome P-450 (heme thiolate) enzyme is involved in the biosynthesis of the cyanogenic glucoside dhurrin in sorghum. It catalyses three different activities - isomerization of the (E) isomer to the (Z) isomer, dehydration, and C-hydroxylation.

EC 2.4.1.85     
Accepted name: cyanohydrin β-glucosyltransferase
Reaction: UDP-α-D-glucose + (S)-4-hydroxymandelonitrile = UDP + (S)-4-hydroxymandelonitrile β-D-glucoside
For diagram of dhurrin biosynthesis, click here
Glossary: dhurrin = (S)-4-hydroxymandelonitrile β-D-glucoside
Other name(s): uridine diphosphoglucose-p-hydroxymandelonitrile glucosyltransferase; UDP-glucose-p-hydroxymandelonitrile glucosyltransferase; uridine diphosphoglucose-cyanohydrin glucosyltransferase; uridine diphosphoglucose:aldehyde cyanohydrin β-glucosyltransferase; UDP-glucose:(S)-4-hydroxymandelonitrile β-D-glucosyltransferase; UGT85B1; UDP-glucose:p-hydroxymandelonitrile-O-glucosyltransferase; UDP-D-glucose:(S)-4-hydroxymandelonitrile β-D-glucosyltransferase
Systematic name: UDP-α-D-glucose:(S)-4-hydroxymandelonitrile β-D-glucosyltransferase (configuration-inverting)
Comments: Acts on a wide range of substrates in vitro, including cyanohydrins, terpenoids, phenolics, hexanol derivatives and plant hormones, in a regiospecific manner [3]. This enzyme is involved in the biosynthesis of the cyanogenic glucoside dhurrin in sorghum, along with EC 1.14.14.36, tyrosine N-monooxygenase and EC 1.14.14.37, 4-hydroxyphenylacetaldehyde oxime monooxygenase. This reaction prevents the disocciation and release of toxic hydrogen cyanide [3].
