Type | Comment |
---|---|
developmental stage | Induced in seeds during silique ripening. |
function | Catalyzes the condensation of the acetyl group of acetyl-CoA with 3-methyl-2-oxobutanoate (2-oxoisovalerate) to form 3-carboxy-3-hydroxy-4-methylpentanoate (2-isopropylmalate). Involved in Leu biosynthesis, but does not participate in the chain elongation of glucosinolates. |
pathway | Amino-acid biosynthesis; L-leucine biosynthesis; L-leucine from 3-methyl-2-oxobutanoate: step 1/4. |
similarity | Belongs to the alpha-IPM synthase/homocitrate synthase family. LeuA type 1 subfamily. |
tissue specificity | Expressed in roots, stems, leaves, flowers and siliques. |
