expression patterns of CsGGT2 are significantly different in the aboveground and underground tissues of tea plants and regulated by light. CsGGT2 shows higher expression in strong light organs, than that of the stem and root, which are exposed to weak light and not exposed to light. CsGGT2 is specifically expressed in mature leaves with a low theanine content and is present at very low levels in the stems and roots, with a high theanine content. Overview
although other plants are unable to accumulate L-theanine itself, they contain some enzyme that has the ability to hydrolyze L-theanine. L-Theanine hydrolase is possibly ubiquitous in plants but not unique to tea plant. It is likely that PDX2 (glutaminase) fulfills the function of L-theanine hydrolase in tea plants, similar to glutamine synthetase, which could also be a L-theanine synthase in tea plants
gamma-glutamyl transpeptidase CsGGT4, as a homologous protein of the theanine hydrolase CsGGT2, exhibits a higher theanine (gamma-glutamyl-L-ethylamide) synthesis catalytic efficiency than CsGGT2. The theanine content correlates significantly with the expression of CsGGT2, CsGGT4, and the transcription factor CsMYB73 in tea shoots from different seasons. CsMYB73 directly interacts with the CsGGT2 and CsGGT4 promoters, serving as an activator of CsGGT2 and a suppressor of CsGGT4. MBP-tagged CsMYB73 displays specific binding to pro-CsGGT4. The degradation of theanine increases, concomitantly with the inhibition of theanine synthesis, resulting in a significant decline in the accumulation of theanine in tea shoots during the process of seasonal greening in cv.

the unique proteinogenic amino acid, theanine (gamma-glutamyl-L-ethylamide) is dynamically regulated by environmental conditions and developmental cues involving the enzyme. Theanine acts as a form of nitrogen storage and transport and has vital physiological functions in plant growth. CsGGT2 and CsGGT4 have both synthesis and degradation functions in the production of theanine in vitro. CsGGT4 synthesizes and degrades theanine in vitro and in tea plants

CsPDX2.1 is a bifunctional enzyme with L-glutamine hydrolase (EC 3.5.1.2) and L-theanine hydrolase functions. Lower hydrolysis of L-theanine (N5-ethyl-L-glutamine) into ethylamine and L-glutamate is a key factor that explains the higher content of L-theanine in albino tea with yellow or white leaves, compared with that of normal tea with green leaves. There are higher CsPDX2.1 transcript levels in leaf tissue and lower transcripts in the types of albino (yellow leaf) teas compared with green controls
gamma-glutamyl-transpeptidase, CsGGT2, functions as light-activated theanine hydrolase in tea plant. CsGGT2 acts as bifunctional protein, synthesizing and degrading theanine in vitro and in planta. In the glutathione cycle, GGT catalyzes the transfer of gamma-glutamyl from glutathione and related gamma-glutamyl amino groups to amino acids and peptides to synthesize new compounds and can also specifically catalyze the cleavage of gamma-glutamate in glutathione and other gamma-glutamyl-containing compounds

expression of CsGGT2 is upregulated under the light and is also negatively correlated with theanine accumulation in tea plants. Expression patterns of CsGGT2 are significantly different in the aboveground and underground tissues of tea plants and regulated by light. Light upregulates the expression of CsHY5, directly binding to the promoter of CsGGT2 and acting as an activator of CsGGT2, with a negative correlation with theanine accumulation. 150 mM NaCl treatments result in an upward trend in the expression of CsGGT2 before 12 h and then decreases rapidly within 96 h
transcription factor CsMYB73 is confirmed to act as a nucleus-localized transcription factor (TF), that directly interacts with the CsGGT2 and CsGGT4 promoters, serving as an activator of CsGGT2 and a suppressor of CsGGT4. This leads to a negative association with theanine accumulation in tea shoots. Furthermore, the continuous increase in CsMYB73 produces a significant increase in CsGGT2 expression and inhibits CsGGT4 expression
