Enzymic synthesis of γ-coniceine in Conium maculatum chloroplasts and mitochondria

M F Roberts. 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.
