Abstract
Expression of a potato (Solanum tuberosum L.) cDNA encoding 3-deoxy-D- arabino-heptulosonate 7-phosphate synthase, the first enzyme of the sh ikimate pathway, complemented an Escherichia coli mutant devoid of the enzyme. While the potato cDNA encodes a protein with an amino termina l putative transit sequence for chloroplast import, immunocytochemistr y localized the E. coli synthesized potato enzyme to the bacterial cyt osol.
