MAM3 catalyzes the formation of all aliphatic glucosinolate chain lengths in Arabidopsis.

Plant physiology - 1 May 2007

Textor Susanne, de Kraker Jan-Willem, Hause Bettina, Gershenzon Jonathan, Tokuhisa James G

Abstract excerpt

Chain elongated, methionine (Met)-derived glucosinolates are a major class of secondary metabolites in Arabidopsis (Arabidopsis thaliana). The key enzymatic step in determining the length of the chain is the condensation of acetyl-coenzyme A with a series of omega-methylthio-2-oxoalkanoic acids, catalyzed by methylthioalkylmalate (MAM) synthases. The existence of two MAM synthases has been previously reported in...
