PAL2 is found to have a cytosolic localization. Co-localization of PAL and C4H is confirmed by FRET, which suggests that the interaction between the two proteins is not tight.

The results indicate that monoterpene synthesis is a dynamic process that involves multiple subcellular compartments within the secretory cells of mint glandular trichomes, which include plastids (which contain limonene synthase [LS]), ER (to which limonene 3-hydroxylase and limonene 6-hydroxylase localize), mitochondria (containing isopiperitenol dehydrogenase) and the cytosol (containing pulegone reductase). These results provide the basis for investigation of potential enzyme complexes or metabolite trafficking routes in mint species.

These results provide evidence that a third cell type, in addition to epidermal cells and laticifers/idioblasts, is involved in monoterpenoid indole alkaloid biosynthesis in Madagascar periwinkle. This additional evidence of the long-range transport of intermediates in the biosynthesis monoterpenoid indole alkaloids provides an experimental system for the study of the transport processes and transporters in Catharanthus alkaloid formation and accumulation.

Kutchan The roles of latex and the vascular bundle in morphine biosynthesis in the opium poppy, Papaver somniferum Proc Natl Acad Sci USA 101 2004 13957 13962 This article presents immunocytological evidence on the localization of four enzymes of tetrahydrobenzylisoquinoline- derived alkaloid biosynthesis in opium poppy. Two cell types, phloem parenchyma (in which 4′OMT and SalAT are localized) and laticifers (in which COR is localized), were identified as the sites of morphine biosynthesis. BBE localized to the parenchyma of root cortex, and is presumably involved in sanguinarine biosynthesis. 7OMT, which is involved in laudanine biosynthesis, was localized to distal phloem parenchyma. These results corroborate the results of earlier biochemical localization studies and refute a recent report that localizes alkaloid biosynthesis in opium poppy to sieve elements [32].
