Identification and Localization of a Lipase-like Acyltransferase in Phenylpropanoid Metabolism of Tomato

cDNA encoding a protein of 380amino acids with a putative targeting signal of 24 amino acidsindicating an entry of the SlCGT into the secretory pathway.Immunogold electron microscopy revealed the localization ofthe enzyme in the apoplastic space of tomato leaves. Southernblot analysis of genomic cDNA suggests that SlCGT is encodedby a single-copy gene. The
