Abstract excerpt
Enzymes that catalyze the condensation of acetyl coenzyme A and 2-oxo acids are likely to be important in two distinct metabolic pathways in Arabidopsis. These are the synthesis of isopropylmalate, an intermediate of Leu biosynthesis in primary metabolism, and the synthesis of methylthioalkylmalates, intermediates of Met elongation in the synthesis of aliphatic glucosinolates (GSLs), in secondary metabolism. Four...
