Gene Details:

• Gene ID: Potri.004G199600
• Gene Symbol: PtNIT1
• Gene Name: nitrilase1
• Genome:
• Species: Populus trichocarpa

Functional Descriptions:

• The nitrilase PtNIT1 catabolizes herbivore-induced nitriles in Populus trichocarpa.
• PtNIT1 showed nitrile hydratase activity towards β-cyanoalanine, resulting in the formation of the amino acid asparagine.
• Our data suggest a role for PtNIT1 in the catabolism of herbivore-induced β-cyanoalanine and benzyl cyanide in poplar leaves.
• Studied the nitrilase gene family in Populus trichocarpa and investigated the potential role of the nitrilase PtNIT1 in the catabolism of herbivore-induced nitriles.
