Metabolite Identification
Common NameD-lysopine
DescriptionD-lysopine is a plant-derived alkaloid belonging to the class of opines, which are nitrogenous compounds produced by certain plants, particularly in response to Agrobacterium infection. Chemically, D-lysopine is characterized by its unique structure, which includes a lysine moiety linked to a 2-oxoglutarate derivative, contributing to its role in plant metabolism. It is synthesized through pathways involving the conversion of amino acids and organic acids, often in association with other opines such as nopaline and octopine. D-lysopine is involved in the regulation of various metabolic processes, particularly in the context of plant responses to environmental stresses and pathogen interactions. For instance, its production can be stimulated by the presence of certain compounds, as evidenced by the promotion of D-lysopine synthesis alongside other opines in specific experimental conditions (PMID:16657911 ). This highlights its potential role in the intricate signaling pathways that govern plant defense mechanisms and metabolic adaptations.
