Pathway Edits

  • CYP79A2 (phenylalanine N-monooxygenase) overexpression for benzyl glucosinolate oxime biosynthesis from phenylalanine
  • UGT74C1 (glucosyltransferase) upregulation for glucobenzyl glucosinolate assembly and storage efficiency
  • TGG1 myrosinase integration for glucobenzyl hydrolysis and BITC release upon tissue disruption
  • ESP knockdown to minimize nitrile and episulfide byproduct formation from benzyl glucosinolate
  • CYP83B1 (N-hydroxy-benzylaldoxime synthase) upregulation for aromatic glucosinolate intermediate flux

Key Interventions

CYP79A2-driven benzyl glucosinolate pathway amplification for BITC-selective TRPA1 electrophilic activation in Nasturtium officinaleESP knockdown combined with TGG1 myrosinase integration maximizes BITC yield and minimizes non-pungent nitrile formationAromatic glucosinolate-to-BITC cascade validated by TRPA1 calcium-flux assay with IFI-P subscale scoringPEG-mediated transient expression protocol validated for rapid phenotypic pathway screening

Use Case

Tier I BITC-enriched Nasturtium ingredient for peppery-mustard flavor applications, watercress-flavor concentrate production, and TRPA1-selective electrophilic pungency in dressings, fresh salad ingredients, and specialty condiments. Suitable for culinary ingredient manufacturers and functional food developers targeting the sharp, nasal-trigeminal activation signature of authentic fresh Nasturtium without supply-chain agronomic constraints.
