Cloned (Comment) Organism
gene CYP82E21, unrooted phylogenetic analysis and tree of CYP82E21 and related CYP82E coding sequences, quantitative PCR enzyme expression analysis, ectopic expression of the coding sequence in a tobacco line lacking functional CYP82E4, CYP82E5 and CYP82E10 genes, resulting in an eightfold increase of nicotine demethylation compared to the control plants confirming the nicotine N-demethylase activity of CYP82E21 Nicotiana tabacum

Protein Variants

Protein Variants Comment Organism
additional information enzyme silencing by introducing a CYP82E21-specific RNAi construct in ovaries, silencing of CYP82E21 leads to up to 90% reduced nicotine conversion in flower ovaries Nicotiana tabacum

General Information

General Information Comment Organism
evolution N-demethylase enzymes (NND) belongs to the family of cytochrome P450 monooxygenases (CYP). The CYP82E21 gene is found in all Nicotiana tabacum cultivars analysed and originates from the tobacco ancestor Nicotiana tomentosiformis Nicotiana tabacum
malfunction nornicotine formation can be reduced in ovaries by introducing a CYP82E21-specific RNAi construct Nicotiana tabacum
physiological function the CYP82E21 gene encodes a functional ovary-specific nicotine N-demethylase, nornicotine is formed by oxidative demethylation of nicotine Nicotiana tabacum
