A full-length complementary DNA clone encoding tryptophan decarboxylase (TDC; EC 4.1.1.28) from Catharanthus roseus (De Luca V, Marineau C, Brisson N [1989] Proc Natl Acad Sci USA 86: 2582-2586) driven by the CaMV 35S promoter was introduced into tobacco (Nicotiana tabacum) to direct the synthesis
The enzyme tryptophan decarboxylase (TDC; EC 4.1.1.28) converts tryptophan into tryptamine. In Catharanthus roseus and other plants capable of producing terpenoid indole alkaloids (TIAs) TDC links primary metabolism to the secondary metabolic pathway involved in the biosynthesis of these compounds.
The wound-activated biosynthesis of phytoalexin hydroxycinnamic acid amides of tyramine was compared in untransformed and transgenic tobacco (Nicotiana tabacum) lines that express tryptophan decarboxylase (TDC), tyrosine decarboxylase (TYDC), or both activities. Transgenic in vitro-grown tobacco
The synthesis of indole-3-acetic acid (IAA) in the enzyme extracts of Nicotiana glauca, Nicotiana langsdorffii, their F1 hybrid, their amphidiploid hybrid, and the nontumorous mutant of the hybrid was investigated. Tryptamine, a possible precursor of IAA biosynthesis in Nicotiana tabacum, was not
Strictosidine, a precursor to over 1000 indole alkaloids including the anti-tumor drugs vinblastine, vincristine, and camptothecin, is produced by the condensation of tryptamine and secologanin. Strictosidine synthase, the enzyme responsible for this condensation, is the first committed step in the
The gene for strictosidine synthase (str1), the enzyme which catalyzes the stereospecific condensation of tryptamine and secologanin to form the key indole alkaloid 3 alpha(S)-strictosidine has been isolated from genomic libraries prepared from Rauvolfia serpentina (India) and from Rauvolfia mannii
Tryptophan decarboxylase (TDC) is a cytosolic enzyme that catalyzes an early step of the terpenoid indole alkaloid biosynthetic pathway by decarboxylation of L-tryptophan to produce the protoalkaloid tryptamine. In the present study, recombinant TDC was targeted to the chloroplast, cytosol, and
A transgenic cell suspension culture of Nicotiana tabacum L. `Petit Havana' SR1 was established expressing tryptophan decarboxylase and strictosidine synthase cDNA clones from Catharanthus roseus (L.) G. Don under the direction of cauliflower mosaic virus 35S promoter and nopaline synthase
