Enzymic synthesis of γ-coniceine in Conium maculatum chloroplasts and mitochondria
Plant Cell Rep.
1981 Aug.
Abstract
Further studies of the transaminase responsible for the first committed step in alkaloid formation in Conium maculatum have shown the L-alanine: 5-ketooctanal transaminase to occur in both the mitochondria and chloroplast. Experiments suggest that these enzymes are the isoenzymes Transaminase A and B respectively previously isolated by the author. It is suggested that the chloroplast enzyme is normally responsible for alkaloid production.
