Adenylate isopentenyltransferase 4

In order to construct cytokinin production part, we focused on AtIPT, a plant enzyme which catalyzes the synthesis of cytokinin. The mechanisms of cytokinin synthesis are shown in Fig. 1 (Takei et al., 2001). We ordered a DNA sequence of AtIPT (AtIPT4) derived from A. thaliana and are now constructing the part including one of them.

Fig. 1. Mechanisms of cytokinin synthesis

AtIPT, a plant enzyme, catalyzes the synthesis of iPRMP from DMAPP and AMP. According to the previous research, DMAPP, and AMP are provided by authentic metabolism in E. coli. It is also expected in the report that E. coli also has the enzymes which catalyze the synthesis of iP or tZ from iPRMP.
