alcohol acetyltransferase I (ATF1)

From S. cerevisiae (yeast)

Usage and Biology

Gene function

The gene ATF1 encodes the enzyme alcohol acetyltransferase 1, which produces acetate esters from acetyl CoA and alcohols. We will be interested in using ATF1 to catalyze the reaction of isoamyl alcohol -> isoamyl acetate; the product is of interest because it is a volatile ester with a strong banana-like scent.

Horton et al. reported a yield of 1.8mM isoamyl acetate 40 hours after the addition of 10mM isoamyl alcohol to cultured E. coli expressing the ATF1 gene.
