The ethylene biosynthetic pathway and its intermediates

The ethylene biosynthetic pathway and its intermediates. S-adenosyl methionine (SAM) synthase uses methionine as a precursor for SAM. SAM is subsequently converted to 1-aminocyclopropane-1-carboxylic acid (ACC) in the first committed step in the ethylene biosynthesis by a family of ACC synthase (ACS) proteins, resulting in the release of methylthioadenosine (MTA). ACC is then finally converted to ethylene by ACC oxidase (ACO). MTA is recycled back to Yang cycles. Dashed line indicates additional enzymatic steps in the Yang cycle.
