Abstract
The enzyme acetyl-CoA: 17-O-deacetylvindoline 17-O-acetyltransferase which terminates vindoline biosynthesis has been isolated from Catharanthus roseus leaves, further characterized and purified to homogeneity by three step column chromatography and subsequent preparative isoelectric focusing. Kinetic properties concerning the enzyme reaction are discussed. Five multiple forms of the acetyl-transferase could be observed, each consisting of two subunits. This enzyme is now the best characterized of the enzymes involved in vindoline biosynthesis.Entities:
