Reaction: 4-hydroxycinnamoyl-CoA + an anthocyanidin 3,5-di-O-β-D-glucoside = CoA + anthocyanidin 3-O-β-D-glucoside 5-O-β-D-(6-O-4-hydroxycinnamoylglucoside)

Glossary: 4-hydroxycinnamoyl-CoA = 4-coumaroyl-CoA
Systematic name: 4-hydroxycinnamoyl-CoA:anthocyanidin 3,5-diglucoside 5-O-glucoside-6'''-O-4-hydroxycinnamoyltransferase
Comments: Isolated from the plant Gentiana triflora. Transfers the hydroxycinnamoyl group only to the C-5 glucoside of anthocyanin. Caffeoyl-CoA, but not malonyl-CoA, can substitute as an acyl donor.
