Gene Details:

• Gene ID: MELO3C024190
• Gene Symbol: CmThAT1
• Gene Name: Thiol acyltransferase1
• Genome:
• Species: Cucumis melo

Functional Descriptions:

• Thiol acyltransferase (CmThAT1) gene was identified within the QTL interval of its product, S-methyl-thioacetate, a key component of melon fruit aroma.
• CmThAT1 catalyzed the enzymatic production of S-methyl thioacetate from methanethiol and acetyl-CoA, and of S-methyl propanethioate from methanethiol and propanoyl-CoA, in vitro.
• The production of thioesters in melon fruit is mediated by the ThAT gene CmThAT1.
• CmThAT1 may have additional functions in acetoacetyl-CoA synthesis, its function in volatile thioester biosynthesis is clear and supported by genetic, co-expression and in vitro analyses.
