Abstract

Abstract Plant peroxygenase (PXG) oxidizes unsaturated fatty acids by transferring an oxygen atom of a hydroperoxide to the double bond, thereby providing epoxides. In this work we investigated the potential of a PXG from tomato (Solanum lycopersicum, SlPXG) to catalyze the oxidation of a variety of natural products. A SlPXG gene was cloned from tomato, heterologously expressed in yeast and the membrane bound recombinant SlPXG ...
