1-Aminocyclopropane-1-carboxylic acid (ACC) is a disubstituted cyclic α-amino acid in which a cyclopropane ring is fused to the Cα atom of the amino acid. It is a white solid. Many cyclopropane-substituted amino acids are known, but this one occurs naturally in various fruits.Brackmann F, de Meijere A Natural Occurrence, Syntheses, and Applications of Cyclopropyl-Group-Containing α-Amino Acids. 1. 1-Aminocyclopropanecarboxylic Acid and Other 2,3-Methanoamino Acids Chemical Reviews 107 11 4493–4537 November 2007 10.1021/cr078376j 17944521 Like glycine, but unlike most α-amino acids, ACC is not chiral.
Biochemistry
ACC is the precursor to the plant hormone ethylene.Yang S, Hoffman N Ethylene biosynthesis and its regulation in higher plants Annu. Rev. Plant Physiol. 35 155–189 1984 10.1146/annurev.pp.35.060184.001103 Kende H Ethylene biosynthesis Annu. Rev. Plant Physiol. 44 283–307 1993 10.1146/annurev.pp.44.060193.001435 It is synthesized by the enzyme ACC synthase (4.4.1.14) from methionine and converted to ethylene by ACC oxidase (1.14.17.4).

ACC also exhibits ethylene-independent signaling that plays a critical role in pollination and seed production by activating proteins similar to those involved in nervous system responses in humans and animals. More specifically, ACC signaling promotes secretion of the pollen tube chemoattractant LURE1.2 in ovular sporophytic tissue thus enhancing pollen tube attraction. Additionally, ACC activates Ca2+-containing ion currents via glutamate receptor-like (GLR) channels in root protoplasts.

ACC can be used by soil microorganisms (both bacteria and fungi) as a source of nitrogen and carbon. Liu H, Khan MY, Carvalhais LC, Delgado-Baquerizo M, Yan L, Crawford M, Dennis PG, Singh B, Schenk PM 6 Soil amendments with ethylene precursor alleviate negative impacts of salinity on soil microbial properties and productivity Scientific Reports 9 1 6892 May 2019 31053834 6499801 10.1038/s41598-019-43305-4 free 2019NatSR...9.6892L As such, using ACC to incubate soils has been proven to induce the gene abundance encoding ACC-deaminases, which may have positive consequences on plant growth and stress tolerance.

ACC has also been extracted from kelp. Nelson W, van Staden J Aminocyclopropane-1-carboxylic acid in seaweed concentrate Botanica Marina 28 9 1985 415-417 10.1515/botm.1985.28.9.415
ACC is also an exogenous partial agonist of the mammalian NMDA receptor. Inanobe A, Furukawa H, Gouaux E Mechanism of partial agonist action at the NR1 subunit of NMDA receptors Neuron 47 1 71–84 July 2005 15996549 10.1016/j.neuron.2005.05.022 16033761 free
In 2019, the United States Environmental Protection Agency issued notice of an application for an experimental use permit to be issued for use of ACC as a pesticide.August 7, 2019 Pesticide Experimental Use Permit; Receipt of Application; Comment Request https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/FR-2019-08-07/pdf/2019-16810.pdf Federal Register 84 152 38624 www.govinfo.gov
