Gene Details:

Functional Descriptions:

  • RNAi-mediated suppression of one member of the tomato CPT family (SlCPT3) resulted in a ~60% decrease in dolichol content.
  • Co-expression of SlCPT3 and SlCPTBP in yeast and in E. coli confirmed that dolichol synthase activity strictly requires both proteins.
  • Organelle isolation and in vivo localization of fluorescent protein fusions showed that both SlCPT3 and SlCPTBP localize to the ER, the site of dolichol accumulation and synthesis in eukaryotes.
  • SlCPT3, interacts with the tomato LEW1 ortholog. Both of these proteins were required to fully compliment the yeast rer2∆ mutant, restore microsomal CPT activity, and dolichol synthesis.
