Solanaceous medicinal plants produce tropane alkaloids (TAs). We discovered a novel gene from Atropa belladonna, AbPPAR, which encodes a phenylpyruvic acid reductase required for TA biosynthesis. AbPPAR was specifically expressed in root pericycles and endodermis. AbPPAR was shown to catalyze reduction of phenylpyruvic acid to phenyllactic acid, a precursor of TAs. Suppression of AbPPAR disrupted TA biosynthesis through reduction of phenyllactic acid levels. In summary, we identified a novel enzyme involved in TA biosynthesis.
