Figure 1: Overview of tyrosine metabolism in A. pisum/B. aphidicola symbiosis.

From: Disruption of phenylalanine hydroxylase reduces adult lifespan and fecundity, and impairs embryonic development in parthenogenetic pea aphids

Figure 1

Schematic representation of the tyrosine integrated pathway between the pea aphid (light green rectangle) and its primary endosymbiont (light beige rectangle). Enzymes are indicated with their Enzyme Commission (EC) numbers at the corresponding reactions: red, pea aphid enzyme-coding genes; blue, Buchnera enzyme-coding genes; purple, Buchnera missing genes. Single line and double line arrows represent metabolic reactions and transport steps, respectively. Solid arrows indicate annotated events whereas dotted arrows refer to possible events. Abbreviations: Phe, phenylalanine; Tyr, tyrosine. Figure adapted from Rabatel et al.34.
