Supporting Figure 3. Identification of prenylated coumarins using mass spectrometry in N. benthamiana transiently expressing PcPT. Leaves were first infiltrated with agrobacteria transformed with the PcPT-containing plasmid, and 72 h post inoculation, a second infiltration was done with umbelliferone. Finally, 24 h later, phenolic compounds were extracted and analyzed. A) MS Chromatogram of [M+H] + parent ions corresponding to two compounds, P1 and P2, with a molecular weight of M=230 (m/z = 231) and retention time at min and min, respectively. B) MS 2 analysis of P1, and C) that of P2. Both molecules display the same fragmentation pattern with a characteristic fragmentation of a C-prenylation (∆neutral loss = 56). D) MS 2 analysis of DMS, and E) osthenol as standard molecules. Relative abundance P2 20,27 P1 24,74 A Time (min) Relative abundance m/z B D C E

Supernatant of ultracentrifugation of the cell-free extract was used as crude enzyme (Mizutani et al., 2012). Enzymatic reactions were carried out for 1 h, and reaction products were measured by HPLC analysis. EV (empty vector) indicates the negative control using pBIN-GW instead of pBIN-PcPT and pBIN-RgC2’H. Arrowhead indicates the enzyme reaction product, umbelliferone (20 ± 1 nmol/mg protein/h). Values are means ± SD of triplicate experiments.

Native umbelliferone dimethylallyltransferase activities in parsley. Umbelliferone dimethylallyltransferase assay was performed using the microsomal fraction prepared from parsley leaves as the crude enzyme. After the incubation for 16 h, the reaction mixture was analyzed by HPLC. Inserts are enclosed chromatogram between min. Black and white arrowheads indicate the peaks of DMS (16.1 ± 0.2 nmol/mg protein) and osthenol (0.366 ± nmol/mg protein), respectively, and the ratio of 6- and 8-prenylation is ca. 100 : 2. No activity was seen in the heat-denatured microsome. Values are means ± SD of triplicate experiments.
