papaver pavoninum/tyrosine

Two tyrosine/dopa decarboxylases (TYDC1 and TYDC2) from opium poppy (Papaver somniferum) were heterologously expressed in Escherichia coli and partially characterized. TYDC1 and TYDC2 are representative members of the two major isoform sub-classes of genes found in opium poppy which share less than

Tyrosine decarboxylase (TYDC) is a common plant enzyme involved in the biosynthesis of numerous secondary metabolites, including hydroxycinnamic acid amides. Although a definite function has not yet been determined, amides have been proposed to form a physical barrier against pathogens because they

Tyrosine aminotransferase (TyrAT) catalyzes the transamination of L-Tyr and α-ketoglutarate, yielding 4-hydroxyphenylpyruvic acid and L-glutamate. The decarboxylation product of 4-hydroxyphenylpyruvic acid, 4-hydroxyphenylacetaldehyde, is a precursor to a large and diverse group of natural products

Tyrosine decarboxylase (TyDC), a type II pyridoxal 5'-phosphate decarboxylase, catalyzes the decarboxylation of tyrosine. Due to a generally high sequence identity to other aromatic amino acid decarboxylases (AAADs), primary sequence information is not enough to understand substrate specificities

Plant tyrosine decarboxylase (TyrDC) is a group II pyridoxal 5'-phosphate (PLP)-dependent decarboxylase that mainly catalyzes the decarboxylation of tyrosine to tyramine. This is biologically important for diverting essential primary metabolites into secondary metabolic pathways. Intensive studies

An aromatic amino acid decarboxylase DNA fragment was generated from opium poppy (Papaver somniferum L.) genomic DNA by the PCR using primers designed from conserved amino acid sequences of other aromatic amino acid decarboxylase genes. Using this fragment as a probe, a genomic clone was isolated

Tyrosine/dihydroxyphenylalanine decarboxylase (TYDC) and the berberine bridge enzyme (BBE) represent the entry point and a key branch point, respectively, in the biosynthesis of benzylisoquinoline alkaloids in select species of the Papaveraceae and Fumariaceae. Genomic clones for tydc7 and bbe1 from

Opium poppy (Papaver somniferum) contains a large family of tyrosine/dihydroxyphenylalanine decarboxylase (tydc) genes involved in the biosynthesis of benzylisoquinoline alkaloids and cell wall-bound hydroxycinnamic acid amides. Eight members from two distinct gene subfamilies have been isolated,

Two early and potential rate-limiting steps in the biosynthesis of isoquinoline alkaloids, such as morphine and codeine, in opium poppy (Papaver somniferum) involve decarboxylation of L-tyrosine and L-dihydroxyphenylalanine (L-dopa) to yield tyramine and dopamine, respectively. A DNA fragment was

Doubly-labeled [(3)H, (14)C]tyrosines, [1-(13)C-]tyramine or [2-(14)C]tyramine, administered to the stems of intact Papaver somniferum L. plants, were found to be incorporated into the morphinan alkaloids of the plant with comparable efficiency. (3)H/(14)C ratios of alkaloids from plants fed the
