General Information

General Information Comment Organism
physiological function expression of homogentisate phytyltransferase, tocopherol cyclase, and gamma-tocopherol methyltransferase on a synthetic operon to synthesize vitamin E in leaves of Nicotiana tabacum and Lycopersicum esculentum. Homogentisate phytyltransferase is the limiting enzymatic step in the pathway. An up to tenfold increase in total tocochromanol accumulation is achieved. A light-dependent regulatory link exosts between tocochromanol metabolism and the pathways of photosynthetic pigment biosynthesis Synechocystis sp.
