<i>Escherichia coli RimI</i> Encodes Serotonin <i>N</i>-Acetyltransferase Activity and Its Overexpression Leads to Enhanced Growth and Melatonin Biosynthesis

Serotonin <i>N</i>-acetyltransferase (SNAT) functions as the penultimate or final enzyme in melatonin biosynthesis, depending on the substrate. The <i>Escherichia coli</i> orthologue of archaeal SNAT from <i>Thermoplasma volcanium</i> was identified as RimI (EcRim...
