Formation of Methylcinnamate in Nondesalted Crude Protein Extracts of MC Glandular Trichomes.

Assay products were analyzed by GC-MS. [U-13C]Cinnamate was provided as substrate in all assays; other assay components are as indicated in the graphs. [U-13C]Methylcinnamate was formed only when AdoMet (SAM) and plant protein extracts were added (A). Endogenous methylcinnamate from the crude protein extracts is present in all samples ([A] to [C]) except for the no-protein control (D). In (E), fragment ions observed in the MS spectra are readily explained and support the identity of the product as [U-13C]methylcinnamate (compared with ions from natural abundance methylcinnamate).
