Identification and Partial Characterization of an L-Tyrosine Aminotransferase (TAT) from Arabidopsis thaliana
Figure 1
Pathways for L-Tyrosine and L-Phenylalanine biosynthesis in E. coli and plants. (a) shows the pathway for both amino acids from the intermediate chorismate in E. coli. Abbreviations in the diagram include PheA (chorismate mutase/prephenate dehydratase), TyrA (chorismate mutase, prephenate dehydrogenase), and TyrB (tyrosine aminotransferase). (b) depicts the plant pathway for the synthesis of the amino acids from the common intermediate L-Arogenate.
