Functional characterization of promiscuous tryptophan decarboxylase from indole alkaloids producing Rauvolfia tetraphylla L.

Functional characterization of promiscuous tryptophan decarboxylase from indole alkaloids producing Rauvolfia tetraphylla L.

The enzyme Tryptophan decarboxylase (TDC, EC 4.1.1.28) gene facilitates the conversion of tryptophan to tryptamine. A new gene encoding TDC was identified from the alkaloid producing plant Rauvolfia tetraphylla by transcriptome analysis, termed as RtTDC. It contains 1,500 base pair which encodes an...
