Vitamin E synthesis pathway. The three tocopherol compounds measured in this study are in red. Key enzymes in the pathway are labeled in bold type and the blue bold type indicates enzymes used for co-localization analysis. HPPD: 4-hydoxyphenyl-pyruvate dioxygenase; DXS: 1-deoxy-D-xylulose-5-phophate synthase; DXR: 1-deoxy-D-xylulose-5-phosphate reductase; GGPS: geranylgeranyl diphosphate synthase; VTE1: tocopherol cyclase; VTE2: HPT, homogentisic acid phytyltransferase; VTE3: 2-methyl-6-phytyl-1, 4-benzoquinol methyltransferase; VTE4: tocopherol methyltransferase; VTE5: phytol kinase; HGGT: homogentisate geranylgeranyl transferase; PSY: phytoene synthase.
