Biosynthetic pathway from tyrosine to sanguinarine. Biosynthesis of sanguinarine from tyrosine. Enzymes for which cognate cDNAs have been isolated are shown in black. Abbreviations: TYDC, tyrosine/dopa decarboxylase; NCS, norcoclaurine synthase; 6OMT, (S)-norcoclaurine 6-O-methyltransferase; CNMT, (S)-coclaurine N-methyltransferase; NMCH, (S)-N-methylcoclaurine 3'-hydroxylase; 4'OMT, (S)-3'-hdroxy-N-methylcoclaurine 4'-O-methyltransferase; BBE, berberine bridge enzyme; CheSyn, cheilanthifoline synthase; StySyn, stylopine synthase; TNMT, tetrahydroprotoberberine N-methyltransferase; MSH, methylstylopine hydroxylase; P6 H, protopine 6-hydroxylase; DBOX, dihydrobenzophenanthridine oxidase. StySyn and CheSyn cDNAs were functionally characterized in plant species other than opium poppy.
