High impact information on FPS2

  • Southern blot analysis indicates that Arabidopsis thaliana contains at least 2 genes (FPS1 and FPS2) encoding FPS [1].
  • Analysis of the FPS2 cDNA sequence revealed an open reading frame encoding a protein of 342 amino acid residues with a predicted molecular mass of 39,825 Da [1].
  • We demonstrate that FPS2 catalyzes the two successive condensations of IPP with both DMAPP and geranyl diphosphate leading to FPP [1].
  • Functional FPS2 gene promoter deletion analysis in transfected protoplasts and transgenic A. thaliana plants indicate that all the cis-acting elements required to establish the full pattern of expression of the FPS2 gene are contained in a short region extending from positions -111 to +65 [2].
