| 1 | MPO is the second enzyme in the biosynthetic pathway that supplies the pyrrolidine moiety of nicotine and nornicotine, but is predicted to be dispensable for the biosynthesis of anatabine, anabasine and anatalline, which do not contain the pyrrolidine moiety. | anatabine | copper methylamine oxidase-like | Nicotiana tabacum |
| 2 | When MPO was overexpressed in tobacco BY-2 cells, nicotine synthesis was dramatically enhanced while anatabine formation was effectively suppressed. | anatabine | copper methylamine oxidase-like | Nicotiana tabacum |
| 3 | In the MPO-suppressed roots, the contents of anatabine, anabasine and anatalline, as well as N-methylputrescine and putrescine, markedly increased to compensate for suppressed formation of nicotine and nornicotine. | anatabine | copper methylamine oxidase-like | Nicotiana tabacum |
