Abstract excerpt

Branched-chain aminotransferase1 (BCAT1) and BCAT2 initiate branched-chain amino acid catabolism, which provides precursors for multiple metabolic pathways. Yet, whether their degradation products converge on the same or diverge into distinct metabolic pathways remains an open question. In Arabidopsis thaliana, disruption of AtBCAT1 (but not AtBCAT2) leads to a deficiency in iso-branched waxes, demonstrating its...
