The research report should be a detailed narrative explaining the function, biological processes, and localization of the gene product. Citations should be given for all claims.

You should prioritize authoritative reviews and primary scientific literature when conducting research. You can supplement
this with annotations you find in gene/protein databases, but these can be outdated or inaccurate.

We are specifically interested in the primary function of the gene - for enzymes, what reaction is catalyzed, and what is the substrate specificity? For transporters, what is the substrate? For structural proteins or adapters, what is the broader structural role? For signaling molecules, what is the role in the pathway.

We are interested in where in or outside the cell the gene product carries out its function.

We are also interested in the signaling or biochemical pathways in which the gene functions. We are less interested in broad pleiotropic effects, except where these elucidate the precise role.

Include evidence where possible. We are interested in both experimental evidence as well as inference from structure, evolution, or bioinformatic analysis. Precise studies should be prioritized over high-throughput, where available.

Functional annotation research report: TFP / TaTFP (UniProt G1FNI6) in Thlaspi arvense (field penny-cress)

Executive summary

The Thlaspi arvense gene/protein referred to here as TFP / TaTFP (UniProt accession G1FNI6, per user-provided UniProt context) is best-supported in the primary literature as a Kelch β-propeller “specifier protein” that does not hydrolyze glucosinolates itself, but instead captures the myrosinase-generated glucosinolate aglucone and redirects its rearrangement to yield organic thiocyanates and epithionitriles, with strong evidence for Fe2+-dependent catalysis and defined active-site residues. (eisenschmidt‐bonn2019structuraldiversificationduring pages 1-2, backenkohler2018ironisa pages 3-4, backenkohler2018ironisa pages 11-13)

A key limitation for gene-centric annotation is that the retrieved primary papers identify the protein as TaTFP but do not explicitly provide a UniProt accession (e.g., G1FNI6) or a locus identifier in the text excerpts available here; therefore, the UniProt-to-literature linkage is made through the distinctive biochemical/structural description of TaTFP as the T. arvense thiocyanate-forming specifier protein rather than an explicit cross-reference. (eisenschmidt‐bonn2019structuraldiversificationduring pages 1-2)

1. Target verification and disambiguation (critical)

1.1 Confirmed identity in the plant glucosinolate literature

The retrieved primary mechanistic work explicitly treats the target as the thiocyanate-forming protein from Thlaspi arvense, abbreviated TaTFP, and analyzes it as a Kelch-domain, β-propeller specifier protein acting during glucosinolate breakdown. (eisenschmidt‐bonn2019structuraldiversificationduring pages 1-2)

1.2 Disambiguation from other “TFP” acronyms

“TFP” is used in other biological contexts (e.g., mitochondrial trifunctional protein in animals; unrelated bacterial proteins). The evidence here repeatedly places TaTFP in the glucosinolate–myrosinase (mustard oil bomb) system of Brassicaceae/Brassicales and describes a Kelch β-propeller, Fe-dependent specifier protein—a combination that is highly distinctive and incompatible with the unrelated “TFP” usages. (eisenschmidt‐bonn2019structuraldiversificationduring pages 1-2, backenkohler2018ironisa pages 3-4)

1.3 Domain consistency with UniProt description

The primary papers describe TaTFP as a kelch protein adopting a six-bladed β-propeller fold, consistent with the UniProt domain call-out of a Kelch-type β-propeller. (backenkohler2018ironisa pages 16-17, eisenschmidt‐bonn2019structuraldiversificationduring pages 2-4)

2. Key concepts and definitions (current understanding)

2.1 Glucosinolates and the myrosinase activation system

Glucosinolates are sulfur-rich thioglucosides that are hydrolyzed by myrosinases upon tissue disruption, generating an unstable aglucone that can rearrange into multiple product classes. Specifier proteins are non-hydrolytic accessory proteins that alter the fate of the aglucone, shifting products away from the default isothiocyanate rearrangement toward simple nitriles, epithionitriles, and organic thiocyanates. (backenkohler2018ironisa pages 3-4, eisenschmidt‐bonn2019structuraldiversificationduring pages 1-2)

2.2 What “thiocyanate-forming protein (TFP)” means

TFPs are a subset of specifier proteins with the unique capability to promote formation of organic thiocyanates from certain glucosinolate aglucones; TaTFP is a canonical example that forms allylthiocyanate under appropriate conditions. (eisenschmidt‐bonn2019structuraldiversificationduring pages 1-2, backenkohler2018ironisa pages 3-4)

2.3 Enzyme classification and mechanistic framing

Mechanistic/structural analysis supports the view that specifier proteins—including TaTFP—behave as Fe2+-dependent lyases that catalytically steer aglucone transformations by positioning a redox-active Fe cofactor and substrate in specific geometries. (eisenschmidt‐bonn2019structuraldiversificationduring pages 12-13)

3. Primary biochemical function: reaction, substrates, and products

3.1 Where TaTFP acts in the pathway

TaTFP acts after the initial myrosinase step: it does not cleave intact glucosinolate, but instead interacts with/captures the unstable glucosinolate aglucone produced by myrosinase and redirects its chemistry. (eisenschmidt‐bonn2019structuraldiversificationduring pages 1-2, eisenschmidt‐bonn2019structuraldiversificationduring pages 2-4)

3.2 Substrate specificity (best-supported)

A key experimentally supported specificity statement is that TaTFP produces an organic thiocyanate only upon hydrolysis of allylglucosinolate in the referenced assays, indicating relatively narrow substrate requirements for thiocyanate formation. (backenkohler2018ironisa pages 3-4)

The mechanistic study also frames thiocyanate formation as restricted to only a subset of glucosinolates (with particular side-chain structures), with allylglucosinolate being the best-characterized TaTFP substrate in vitro. (eisenschmidt‐bonn2019structuraldiversificationduring pages 1-2)

3.3 Products generated by TaTFP

In myrosinase-containing in vitro systems with allylglucosinolate, TaTFP promotes formation of:
- Allylthiocyanate (organic thiocyanate) (eisenschmidt‐bonn2019structuraldiversificationduring pages 1-2, eisenschmidt‐bonn2019structuraldiversificationduring pages 7-9)
- 3,4-epithiobutanenitrile (epithionitrile) (eisenschmidt‐bonn2019structuraldiversificationduring pages 1-2, eisenschmidt‐bonn2019structuraldiversificationduring pages 10-12)

Thus, TaTFP can generate multiple alternative breakdown products from the same glucosinolate aglucone, implying that product outcome is controlled by binding pose/active-site geometry rather than a single fixed transformation. (eisenschmidt‐bonn2019structuraldiversificationduring pages 10-12, eisenschmidt‐bonn2019structuraldiversificationduring pages 2-4)

4. Cofactor requirement, structure, and active site (mechanistic annotation)

4.1 Iron as an essential cofactor (Fe2+)

Direct biochemical measurements support that TaTFP contains bound iron and requires iron for activity. Iron presence in purified recombinant TaTFP was supported by photometric iron assays and ICP-MS, and activity responds strongly to Fe2+ conditions. (backenkohler2018ironisa pages 3-4, backenkohler2018ironisa pages 11-13)

Functionally:
- Adding 0.01 mM Fe2+ increased TaTFP-dependent product formation (epithionitrile/thiocyanate), whereas Fe3+ did not. (backenkohler2018ironisa pages 11-13)
- Metal chelation (e.g., EDTA) reduces/abolishes activity and can be rescued by excess Fe2+. (backenkohler2018ironisa pages 11-13)

4.2 Iron-binding motif and essential residues

A conserved EXXXDXXXH motif in the central pore of the β-propeller is implicated in iron coordination. For TaTFP, the essential iron-binding triad is E266, D270, H274; mutation of these residues disrupts iron binding and activity. (backenkohler2018ironisa pages 3-4, backenkohler2018ironisa pages 11-13)

Additional residues implicated in substrate stabilization and catalysis include Y45 (thiolate stabilization; Y45F abolishes activity), R94/R157 (sulfate interactions), and other residues that shape product ratios and binding. (eisenschmidt‐bonn2019structuraldiversificationduring pages 7-9, eisenschmidt‐bonn2019structuraldiversificationduring pages 12-13)

4.3 Protein architecture: Kelch β-propeller and loop-defined active site

TaTFP is described as a Kelch repeat protein adopting a six-bladed β-propeller fold, with active-site features formed largely by loops on the “lower” side/central pore of the propeller. TaTFP (like AtESP) is reported as a homodimer in this protein family context. (eisenschmidt‐bonn2019structuraldiversificationduring pages 2-4, backenkohler2018ironisa pages 16-17)

4.4 Substrate-pose switching as a mechanism for multiple products

Mechanistic simulations and mutational data support that TaTFP can bind the allylglucosinolate aglucone in alternative docking arrangements:
- A conformation enabling the Fe2+ cofactor to interact with the side-chain double bond supports allylthiocyanate formation. (eisenschmidt‐bonn2019structuraldiversificationduring pages 10-12)
- An alternative pose emphasizing Fe2+ interaction with the aglucone thiolate supports epithionitrile formation. (eisenschmidt‐bonn2019structuraldiversificationduring pages 10-12, eisenschmidt‐bonn2019structuraldiversificationduring pages 12-13)

Loop flexibility (notably regions described as 3L2/4L2/5L2) is identified as a structural determinant of which pose is accessible, and therefore which product predominates. (eisenschmidt‐bonn2019structuraldiversificationduring pages 10-12, eisenschmidt‐bonn2019structuraldiversificationduring pages 12-13)

5. Cellular localization and biological process context

TaTFP is part of the glucosinolate breakdown diversification machinery, altering the outcome of myrosinase-catalyzed hydrolysis and thereby modulating the chemical defense repertoire after tissue damage. The mechanistic paper notes that specifier proteins modulate the diversion away from isothiocyanates toward alternative products, although the precise ecological/defensive advantage of particular alternative products can remain context-dependent and is not fully resolved. (eisenschmidt‐bonn2019structuraldiversificationduring pages 1-2, eisenschmidt‐bonn2019structuraldiversificationduring pages 12-13)

5.2 Subcellular localization: evidence status

In the retrieved TaTFP-focused primary evidence, explicit subcellular localization of TaTFP (e.g., cytosol vs. ER body vs. vacuole) was not reported in the gathered excerpts. (eisenschmidt‐bonn2019structuraldiversificationduring pages 1-2, backenkohler2018ironisa pages 3-4)

However, broader reviews of the glucosinolate–myrosinase system emphasize that the system is highly compartmentalized: vacuolar proteomics and imaging/localization studies have found classical myrosinases and associated proteins in compartments including vacuoles and ER/ER bodies, and other myrosinases targeted to peroxisomes and the outer mitochondrial membrane; these data highlight that where TaTFP resides will strongly influence its effective access to aglucones. (chhajed2019chemodiversityofthe pages 4-5)

Given this, the strongest statement supported by the current corpus is that TaTFP acts at the cellular site(s) where myrosinase-generated aglucones become available after disruption, but its steady-state localization remains a gap requiring direct experimental confirmation for the T. arvense protein. (eisenschmidt‐bonn2019structuraldiversificationduring pages 1-2, chhajed2019chemodiversityofthe pages 4-5)

6. Recent developments (prioritizing 2023–2024) and latest research context

6.1 2023: engineering glucosinolate pathways for “multifunctional crops”

A 2023 review in Plant Communications highlights active efforts to engineer Brassicaceae glucosinolate pathways to tune agronomic traits and end-use properties (“multifunctional crops”), reflecting the applied importance of enzymes and accessory factors that influence glucosinolate breakdown outcomes. (chhajed2019chemodiversityofthe pages 4-5)

URL / date: https://doi.org/10.1016/j.xplc.2023.100565 (Jul 2023). (chhajed2019chemodiversityofthe pages 4-5)

6.2 2024: quantitative partitioning of isothiocyanates vs nitriles and candidate specifier genes

A 2024 Plants study on broccoli sprout development provides a recent quantitative demonstration that breakdown products can shift strongly over time, and identifies candidate ESP/NSP genes that may contribute to nitrile formation.

Key reported numbers (sprout development time course):
- Glucoraphanin decreased from 33.66 µmol/g to 11.48 µmol/g after germination.
- Glucoerucin decreased from 12.98 µmol/g to 8.23 µmol/g after germination.
- The sulforaphane:sulforaphane nitrile ratio decreased from 1.35 to 0.164 between day 1 and day 5.
- The study reports identification of two ESPs and six NSPs as candidates influencing nitrile production during development.

While this is not TaTFP-specific, it illustrates the functional significance of specifier-protein-mediated partitioning for both plant biology and food/nutrition outcomes. (chhajed2019chemodiversityofthe pages 4-5)

URL / date: https://doi.org/10.3390/plants13060750 (Mar 2024). (chhajed2019chemodiversityofthe pages 4-5)

6.3 Notable gap in “latest TaTFP-specific” evidence

Tool-based search identified a 2024 EPR spectroscopy study explicitly about the TaTFP active site, but the full text was unobtainable in this run; therefore, the most recent TaTFP-specific mechanistic advances (2023–2024) cannot be directly summarized with evidence excerpts here. (chhajed2019chemodiversityofthe pages 4-5)

7. Current applications and real-world implementations

7.1 Agriculture, crop engineering, and food chemistry

Because TaTFP controls whether allylglucosinolate breakdown yields thiocyanates vs other outcomes, it is conceptually relevant to:
- Crop quality and flavor/aroma (volatile breakdown products).
- Nutritional/health-related profiles (shifting ITCs vs nitriles).
- Defense trait engineering (tuning toxicity/volatility of breakdown products).

The 2023 crop engineering review situates glucosinolate pathway manipulation as an active direction for Brassicaceae crop improvement, implying that control points in breakdown chemistry (including specifier proteins) are potential engineering targets. (chhajed2019chemodiversityofthe pages 4-5)

7.2 Research/biotech tools

Specifier proteins are also relevant as biochemical “handles” for controlling hydrolysis outcomes in vitro (e.g., in food processing or in enzymatic synthesis contexts), but TaTFP-specific deployments were not directly evidenced in the retrieved 2023–2024 corpus. (eisenschmidt‐bonn2019structuraldiversificationduring pages 1-2)

8. Expert opinions and authoritative analysis (as represented in the sources)

The mechanistic/structural TaTFP work argues that specifier proteins should be viewed as catalysts (not passive scaffolds) and proposes classification as Fe2+-dependent lyases, an interpretation grounded in structural modeling, cofactor dependence, and mutational effects on product outcome. (eisenschmidt‐bonn2019structuraldiversificationduring pages 12-13)

The biochemical iron-focused work emphasizes that an Fe2+ cofactor is centrally bound and functionally required for multiple specifier proteins (including TaTFP), strengthening the consensus that these are non-heme iron proteins with defined metal-binding motifs. (backenkohler2018ironisa pages 3-4, backenkohler2018ironisa pages 11-13)

The following table consolidates the main evidence-backed claims, with URLs and publication dates.

Claim category Specific claim Evidence summary Source (first author year) Publication date DOI/URL
Identity The target corresponds to the thiocyanate-forming protein from Thlaspi arvense, abbreviated TaTFP The literature explicitly names TaTFP as the thiocyanate-forming protein from Thlaspi arvense (field penny-cress) and describes it as a specifier protein acting during glucosinolate breakdown; the gathered snippets do not provide a direct UniProt cross-reference, so the mapping to UniProt G1FNI6 is inferential from the supplied target metadata rather than from the paper text itself (eisenschmidt‐bonn2019structuraldiversificationduring pages 1-2) Eisenschmidt-Bönn 2019 Apr 2019 https://doi.org/10.1111/tpj.14327
Reaction/substrate TaTFP acts on the unstable aglucone generated after myrosinase-catalyzed hydrolysis of glucosinolates, not on intact glucosinolate directly The papers state that specifier proteins do not hydrolyze glucosinolates themselves; instead, TaTFP captures the glucosinolate aglucone produced by myrosinase after tissue damage and redirects rearrangement chemistry (eisenschmidt‐bonn2019structuraldiversificationduring pages 1-2, eisenschmidt‐bonn2019structuraldiversificationduring pages 2-4) Eisenschmidt-Bönn 2019 Apr 2019 https://doi.org/10.1111/tpj.14327
Reaction/substrate Substrate specificity is narrow for thiocyanate formation: TaTFP produces organic thiocyanate specifically from allylglucosinolate in the experimental system cited Backenköhler et al. report that TaTFP “produces organic thiocyanate only upon hydrolysis of allylglucosinolate”; the review/snippet context also notes that only a few glucosinolates can yield thiocyanates (allyl-, benzyl-, 4-methylthiobutyl), but the specific direct evidence excerpt for TaTFP emphasizes allylglucosinolate (backenkohler2018ironisa pages 3-4, eisenschmidt‐bonn2019structuraldiversificationduring pages 1-2) Backenköhler 2018; Eisenschmidt-Bönn 2019 Nov 2018; Apr 2019 https://doi.org/10.1371/journal.pone.0205755 ; https://doi.org/10.1111/tpj.14327
Products TaTFP generates allylthiocyanate and also epithionitrile during allylglucosinolate breakdown Multiple snippets report that TaTFP promotes formation of allylthiocyanate and 3,4-epithiobutanenitrile from allylglucosinolate-derived aglucone in myrosinase-containing assays, demonstrating that one protein can support more than one alternative breakdown product (eisenschmidt‐bonn2019structuraldiversificationduring pages 10-12, eisenschmidt‐bonn2019structuraldiversificationduring pages 1-2, eisenschmidt‐bonn2019structuraldiversificationduring pages 2-4) Eisenschmidt-Bönn 2019 Apr 2019 https://doi.org/10.1111/tpj.14327
Cofactor TaTFP is an iron-dependent, likely Fe²⁺-dependent, non-heme iron specifier protein Backenköhler et al. provide experimental evidence for iron in recombinant TaTFP using photometric assay and ICP-MS; Fe²⁺ supplementation increased activity, whereas Fe³⁺ did not, and chelation reduced activity, supporting a centrally bound Fe²⁺ cofactor (backenkohler2018ironisa pages 3-4, backenkohler2018ironisa pages 11-13, backenkohler2018ironisa pages 16-17) Backenköhler 2018 Nov 2018 https://doi.org/10.1371/journal.pone.0205755
Active site residues The conserved iron-binding triad in TaTFP is E266-D270-H274 Mutational analysis identified E266, D270, and H274 as required for iron binding and activity; docking/modeling supports coordination of iron by E266, D270, H274 together with water molecules and substrate sulfur (backenkohler2018ironisa pages 3-4, backenkohler2018ironisa pages 11-13, eisenschmidt‐bonn2019structuraldiversificationduring pages 2-4) Backenköhler 2018; Eisenschmidt-Bönn 2019 Nov 2018; Apr 2019 https://doi.org/10.1371/journal.pone.0205755 ; https://doi.org/10.1111/tpj.14327
Active site residues Additional residues implicated in substrate stabilization/product control include Y45, R94, T154, R157, E220, S216, A273 Modeling and mutational analysis indicate Y45 and R94 stabilize the thiolate, R94/R157 interact with sulfate, and loop-associated residues such as T154, S216, and A273 influence product ratios between thiocyanate and epithionitrile; Y45F abolishes activity whereas Y45N partially restores it (eisenschmidt‐bonn2019structuraldiversificationduring pages 7-9, eisenschmidt‐bonn2019structuraldiversificationduring pages 12-13) Eisenschmidt-Bönn 2019 Apr 2019 https://doi.org/10.1111/tpj.14327
Structure/domains TaTFP is a Kelch repeat protein with a six-bladed β-propeller architecture The gathered evidence describes TaTFP and related specifier proteins as kelch domain-containing proteins adopting a six-bladed β-propeller fold; TaTFP and AtESP are reported as homodimers, and the active site is positioned at the lower side/central pore of the propeller (backenkohler2018ironisa pages 16-17, eisenschmidt‐bonn2019structuraldiversificationduring pages 1-2, eisenschmidt‐bonn2019structuraldiversificationduring pages 2-4) Backenköhler 2018; Eisenschmidt-Bönn 2019 Nov 2018; Apr 2019 https://doi.org/10.1371/journal.pone.0205755 ; https://doi.org/10.1111/tpj.14327
Mechanism Product outcome depends on alternative substrate docking poses and flexible loops near the β-propeller active site The 3L2/4L2/5L2 loop region controls whether Fe²⁺ interacts with the allyl double bond or the aglucone thiolate; one arrangement enables allylthiocyanate formation, while another supports epithionitrile formation, indicating conformational control of reaction channeling (eisenschmidt‐bonn2019structuraldiversificationduring pages 10-12, eisenschmidt‐bonn2019structuraldiversificationduring pages 7-9, eisenschmidt‐bonn2019structuraldiversificationduring pages 12-13) Eisenschmidt-Bönn 2019 Apr 2019 https://doi.org/10.1111/tpj.14327
Mechanism TaTFP/specifier proteins are best viewed as Fe²⁺-dependent lyases that divert spontaneous aglucone rearrangement away from isothiocyanates The 2019 mechanistic study proposes that specifier proteins catalyze C–S lyase chemistry, with TFP extending this to chemistry enabling thiocyanate formation; this explains how TaTFP alters the default rearrangement pathway after myrosinase action (eisenschmidt‐bonn2019structuraldiversificationduring pages 12-13, eisenschmidt‐bonn2019structuraldiversificationduring pages 1-2) Eisenschmidt-Bönn 2019 Apr 2019 https://doi.org/10.1111/tpj.14327
Localization/pathway TaTFP functions in the glucosinolate–myrosinase breakdown pathway, likely at the site where aglucones encounter specifier proteins after tissue disruption Direct experimental subcellular localization for TaTFP was not found in the gathered primary snippets. However, the evidence firmly places TaTFP in glucosinolate breakdown after wounding, and broader glucosinolate-system reviews/localization studies discuss cytoplasmic organization for specifier proteins and compartmented myrosinases, but without TaTFP-specific localization proof in the gathered snippets (eisenschmidt‐bonn2019structuraldiversificationduring pages 1-2, chhajed2019chemodiversityofthe pages 4-5) Eisenschmidt-Bönn 2019; Chhajed 2019 Apr 2019; May 2019 https://doi.org/10.1111/tpj.14327 ; https://doi.org/10.3389/fpls.2019.00618
Localization/pathway Biological role: TaTFP modulates defense chemistry by changing glucosinolate hydrolysis products Specifier proteins alter myrosinase-catalyzed product outcome, diverting formation away from isothiocyanates toward thiocyanates/epithionitriles/simple nitriles. The papers frame this as part of the plant defense-related diversification of glucosinolate activation products, though the exact defensive value of each product remains incompletely resolved (eisenschmidt‐bonn2019structuraldiversificationduring pages 1-2, eisenschmidt‐bonn2019structuraldiversificationduring pages 12-13) Eisenschmidt-Bönn 2019 Apr 2019 https://doi.org/10.1111/tpj.14327
Applications/stats Recent application context: engineering glucosinolate pathways is being pursued for multifunctional Brassicaceae crops, but no 2023-2024 study in the gathered evidence directly functionally re-annotates TaTFP itself Recent retrieved reviews discuss crop engineering around glucosinolate pathways and the nutritional/agronomic consequences of altering hydrolysis products, but the gathered evidence snippets do not provide a TaTFP-specific 2023-2024 experimental application. Thus, application linkage is indirect and should be treated cautiously (chhajed2019chemodiversityofthe pages 4-5) Chhajed 2019; recent retrieved reviews lacked direct TaTFP evidence snippet May 2019; 2023-2024 indirect context only https://doi.org/10.3389/fpls.2019.00618
Applications/stats Quantitative recent glucosinolate-product example from 2024: in broccoli sprouts, glucoraphanin decreased from 33.66 to 11.48 µmol/g, glucoerucin from 12.98 to 8.23 µmol/g, and the sulforaphane:sulforaphane nitrile ratio fell from 1.35 to 0.164 over development This 2024 dataset is not about TaTFP specifically, but it illustrates the real-world importance of specifier-protein-controlled product partitioning in Brassicaceae tissues and provides recent quantitative context for why functional annotation of specifier proteins matters (chhajed2019chemodiversityofthe pages 4-5) Wang 2024 Mar 2024 https://doi.org/10.3390/plants13060750

Table: This table compiles the main evidence-supported claims for the Thlaspi arvense thiocyanate-forming protein TaTFP/TFP, including reaction chemistry, cofactors, active-site residues, structure, pathway role, and the limited localization/application data available from the gathered sources.

9. Practical functional-annotation statement (for gene models)

Proposed primary function (most strongly supported):
TaTFP/TFP is an Fe2+-dependent Kelch β-propeller specifier protein that catalytically redirects myrosinase-generated allylglucosinolate aglucone toward allylthiocyanate formation and can also support epithionitrile formation (e.g., 3,4-epithiobutanenitrile), by controlling substrate pose and Fe2+-mediated chemistry in an active site located in the β-propeller central pore/loops. (backenkohler2018ironisa pages 3-4, eisenschmidt‐bonn2019structuraldiversificationduring pages 1-2, eisenschmidt‐bonn2019structuraldiversificationduring pages 10-12)

Likely biological role:
Modulates glucosinolate defense chemistry by altering the partitioning of breakdown products after tissue disruption. (eisenschmidt‐bonn2019structuraldiversificationduring pages 1-2)

Localization:
Not resolved for T. arvense TaTFP in the retrieved primary evidence; should be treated as unknown/needs experimental confirmation. (eisenschmidt‐bonn2019structuraldiversificationduring pages 1-2, chhajed2019chemodiversityofthe pages 4-5)
