Arabidopsis roots accumulate a complex mixture of dolichols composed of three families, (i.e., short-, medium- and long-chain dolichols), but until now none of the <i>cis</i>-prenyltransferases (CPTs) predicted in the Arabidopsis genome has been considered responsible for their synthesis. In this report, using homo- and heterologous (yeast and tobacco) models, we have characterized the <i>AtCPT1</i> gene (At2g23410) which encodes a CPT responsible for the formation of long-chain dolichols, Dol-1 ...[more]
