RT   "Molecular and biochemical characterization of caffeic acid O-
RT   methyltransferase from Catharanthus roseus.";
RL   Submitted (MAR-2001) to the EMBL/GenBank/DDBJ databases.
CC   -!- FUNCTION: Catalyzes the conversion of caffeic acid to ferulic acid and
CC       of 5-hydroxyferulic acid to sinapic acid. The resulting products may
CC       subsequently be converted to the corresponding alcohols that are
CC       incorporated into lignins.
CC   -!- CATALYTIC ACTIVITY:
CC       Reaction=(E)-caffeate + S-adenosyl-L-methionine = (E)-ferulate + H(+) +
CC         S-adenosyl-L-homocysteine; Xref=Rhea:RHEA:20225, ChEBI:CHEBI:15378,
CC         ChEBI:CHEBI:29749, ChEBI:CHEBI:57770, ChEBI:CHEBI:57856,
CC         ChEBI:CHEBI:59789; EC=2.1.1.68;
CC   -!- PATHWAY: Aromatic compound metabolism; phenylpropanoid biosynthesis.
CC   -!- SUBUNIT: Homodimer. {ECO:0000250}.
CC   -!- SIMILARITY: Belongs to the class I-like SAM-binding methyltransferase
CC       superfamily. Cation-independent O-methyltransferase family. COMT
CC       subfamily. {ECO:0000255|PROSITE-ProRule:PRU01020}.
