alcohol acetyltransferase I (ATF1)
Alcohol acetyltransferase I (ATFI) encodes the enzyme alcohol acetyltransferase I (AATase I), which produces acetate esters from acetyl CoA and alcohols. It was obtained from S. cerevisiae.
Usage and Biology
We will be interested in using AATase I to catalyze the reaction: isoamyl alcohol -> isoamyl acetate. Isoamyl acetate is a volatile ester with a strong banana-like scent. (The related enzyme AATase II, which is encoded by the gene ATF2, performs a similar function...but it is less efficient.)
