Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

The present invention provides a method for producing an alkaloid, for example, reticuline, comprising providing dopamine as a substrate for a series of actions of monoamine oxidase, norcoclaurine-6-O-methyltransferase, coclaurine-N-methyltransferase and 3′-hydroxy-N-methylcoclaurine-4′-O-methyltransferase.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

The invention claimed is: 1. A method for producing reticuline from dopamine, which comprises the steps of: providing a recombinant host cell expressing monoamine oxidase, norcoclaurine-6-O-methyltransferase, coclaurine-N-methyltransferase and 3′-hydroxy-N-methylcoclaurine-4′-O-methyltransferase, wherein the recombinant host cell is obtained by introducing genes encoding monoamine oxidase, norcoclaurine-6-O-methyltransferase, coclaurine-N-methyltransferase and 3′-hydroxy-N-methylc…
