luxR Homolog-Linked Biosynthetic Gene Clusters in Proteobacteria
Microbes are a major source of antibiotics, pharmaceuticals, and other bioactive compounds. The production of many specialized microbial metabolites is encoded in biosynthetic gene clusters (BGCs). A challenge associated with natural product discovery is that many BGCs are not expressed under laboratory growth conditions. Here we report a genome-mining approach to discover BGCs with luxR-type q...
متن کاملEvidence for a gibberellin biosynthetic origin of ceratopteris antheridiogen.
The species-specific chemical messenger, antheridiogen A(Ce), mediates the differentiation of male gametophytes in the fern Ceratopteris. In order to investigate the biochemical origin of antheridiogen, the effect of the inhibitors, 2'-isopropyl-4'-(trimethylammoniumchloride)-5' -methylphenylpiperidine-1-carboxylate (AMO-1618), 2-chloroethyl trimethylammonium chloride (CCC), and alpha-cycloprop...
متن کاملAnthrose biosynthetic operon of Bacillus anthracis.
The exosporium of Bacillus anthracis spores consists of a basal layer and an external hair-like nap. The nap is composed primarily of the glycoprotein BclA, which contains a collagen-like region with multiple copies of a pentasaccharide side chain. This oligosaccharide possesses an unusual terminal sugar called anthrose, followed by three rhamnose residues and a protein-bound N-acetylgalactosam...
متن کاملOverexpression of a novel class of gibberellin 2-oxidases decreases gibberellin levels and creates dwarf plants.
Degradation of active C(19)-gibberellins (GAs) by dioxygenases through 2beta-hydroxylation yields inactive GA products. We identified two genes in Arabidopsis (AtGA2ox7 and AtGA2ox8), using an activation-tagging mutant screen, that encode 2beta-hydroxylases. GA levels in both activation-tagged lines were reduced significantly, and the lines displayed dwarf phenotypes typical of mutants with a G...
متن کاملFunctional characterization of ent-copalyl diphosphate synthase, kaurene synthase and kaurene oxidase in the Salvia miltiorrhiza gibberellin biosynthetic pathway.
Salvia miltiorrhiza Bunge is highly valued in traditional Chinese medicine for its roots and rhizomes. Its bioactive diterpenoid tanshinones have been reported to have many pharmaceutical activities, including antibacterial, anti-inflammatory, and anticancer properties. Previous studies found four different diterpenoid biosynthetic pathways from the universal diterpenoid precursor (E,E,E)-geran...
