High impact information on Td

  • We present evidence indicating that the ability of TD to degrade Thr in the midgut is enhanced by herbivore-induced proteolytic removal of the enzyme's C-terminal regulatory domain, which confers negative feedback regulation by isoleucine in planta [1].
  • The gene encoding the plant biosynthetic threonine deaminase (Td; EC 4.2.1.16) has been cloned as a result of its unusual upregulation in tomato flowers [2].
  • The Td gene is unique in the tomato genome and its coding region is interrupted by eight introns [2].
