The ripening of grape (Vitis vinifera L.) berry is characterized by dramatic changes in gene expression, enzymatic activities and metabolism which lead to the production of compounds essential for berry quality. The phenylpropanoid metabolic pathway is one of the components involved in these changes. In this paper, we describe the cloning and functional characterization of VvMYB5a, a cDNA isolated from a Vitis vinifera L. cv. Cabernet Sauvignon berry library. VvMYB5a encodes a protein belonging to a small sub-family of R2R3-MYB transcription factors. Expression studies in grapevine indicate that the VvMYB5a gene is mainly expressed during the early steps of berry development in skin, flesh and seeds. Overexpression of VvMYB5a in tobacco affects the expression of structural genes controlling the synthesis of phenylpropanoid and impacts on the metabolism of anthocyanins, flavonols, tannins and lignins. Overexpressing VvMYB5a induces a strong accumulation of several phenolic compounds including keracyanin (cyanidin 3 rhamnoglucoside) and quercetin 3 rhamnoglucoside, which are the main anthocyanin and flavonol compounds in tobacco. In addition, VvMYB5a overexpression increases the biosynthesis of condensed tannins and alters lignin metabolism. These findings suggest that VvMYB5a may be involved in the control of different branches of the phenylpropanoid pathway in grapevine.
