Abstract: 4‐Coumarate:CoA ligase (4CL, EC6.2.1.12), located at the end of the phenylpropanoid metabolic pathway, regulates the metabolic direction of

phenylpropanoid derivatives and plays a pivotal role in the biosynthesis of flavonoids, lignin, and other secondary metabolites. In order to understand the

molecular characteristics and potential biological functions of the 4CL gene family in the pomegranate, a bioinformatics analysis was carried out on the identified

4CLs. In this study, 12 Pg4CLs were identified in the pomegranate genome, which contained two conserved amino acid domains: AMP‐binding domain Box I

(SSGTTGLPKGV) and Box II (GEICIRG). During the identification, it was found that Pg4CL2 was missing Box II. The gene cloning and sequencing verified

that this partial amino acid deletion was caused by genome sequencing and splicing errors, and the gene cloning results corrected the Pg4CL2 sequence information in the ‘Taishanhong’ genome. According to the phylogenetic tree, Pg4CLs were divided into three subfamilies, and each subfamily had 1, 1, and 10 members,

respectively. Analysis of cis‐acting elements found that all the upstream sequences of Pg4CLs contained at least one phytohormone response element. An RNA‐seq and protein interaction network analysis suggested that Pg4CL5 was highly expressed in different tissues and may participate in lignin synthesis of pomegranate.

The expression of Pg4CL in developing pomegranate fruits was analyzed by quantitative real‐time PCR (qRT‐PCR), and the expression level of Pg4CL2

demonstrated a decreasing trend, similar to the trend of flavonoid content, indicating Pg4CL2 may involve in flavonoid synthesis and pigment accumulation.

Pg4CL3, Pg4CL7, Pg4CL8, and Pg4CL10 were almost not expressed or lowly expressed, the expression level of Pg4CL4 was higher in the later stage of fruit

development, suggesting that Pg4CL4 played a crucial role in fruit ripening. The expression levels of 4CL genes were significantly different in various fruit

development stages. The results laid the foundation for an in‐depth analysis of pomegranate 4CL gene functions.
