ACC synthase
EC 4.4.1.14; systematic name: S-adenosyl-l-methionine methylthioadenosine lyase; an enzyme present in plant tissues that catalyses the pyridoxal phosphate-dependent conversion of S-adenosylmethionine to 1-aminocyclopropane-1-carboxylic acid (ACC) and 5′-methylthioadenosine. It has been cloned from various fruits — zucchini (courgette), tomato, apple — and has 48 — 97% sequence identity in different plants. Tomato contains several genes for the enzyme that are differentially regulated and expressed in response to wounding, ripening, or various stresses.
