The last steps of the Leu biosynthetic pathway and the Met chain elongation cycle for glucosinolate formation share identical reaction types suggesting a close evolutionary relationship of these pathways. Both pathways involve the condensation of acetyl-CoA and a 2-oxo acid, isomerization of the resulting 2-malate derivative to form a 3-malate derivative, the oxidation-decarboxylation of the 3-malate...
Glucosinolate accumulation and expression of glucosinolate biosynthetic genes were studied in response to four herbivores in Arabidopsis thaliana (L.) wild-type (Columbia) and mutant lines affected in defense signaling. Herbivory on wild-type plants led to increased aliphatic glucosinolate content for three of four herbivores tested, the aphid generalist Myzus persicae (Sulzer), the aphid specialist...
The major class of glucosinolates in Arabidopsis thaliana (L.) Heynh. are biosynthesized from methionine involving a three-step chain-elongation cycle. Each passage through the cycle results in the net addition of a single methylene group, with up to six cycles of elongation occurring in A. thaliana. The first reaction of the cycle is catalyzed by a methylthioalkylmalate synthase (MAMS), which condenses...
