TcCS2
CS stands for caffeine synthase, while the TcAncCS1 ancestral gene is derived from Cocobroma, the duplication of TcAncCS1 at node O leads to TcAncCS2, but the kinetic parameters of TcAncCS2 and its progeny enzymes predict that experts will be favored because the 3 methyl Xanthine does not compete for active site binding. We introduced this plasmid gene to facilitate the synthesis of caffeine in engineered strains, thereby regulating the balance of scalp oil. The main caffeine biosynthetic pathway is a sequence consisting of xanthosine→7-methylxanthosine→7-methylxanthine→theobromine→caffeine. Genes encoding N-methyltransferases involved in three of these four reactions have been isolated and the molecular structure of N-methyltransferases investigated.
