Terpenoid indole alkaloids (TIAs) arise from the indole and the monoterpene pathways. The latter route derives from isopentenyl diphosphate (IPP). We report on the isolation and characterization of a cDNA (crdxs) encoding for 1-deoxy-D-xylulose 5-phosphate synthase (DXPS) in Catharnthus roseus suspension cultures. The enzyme catalyses the formation of the precursor of the non-mevalonate pathway leading to IPP biosynthesis. Expression in Escherichia coli of the truncated DXPS lacking the putative plastid transit peptide revealed that this pseudomature protein was active, crdxs mRNA were detected only in TIA producing-cells and the accumulation of transcripts was found to be associated with TIA production. This result corroborates recent studies obtained with a labelled precursor, which have given evidence that the non-mevalonate pathway is involved in the biosynthesis of the precursor of TIAs secologanin.
