Biosynthetic relationship among aflatoxins B1, B2, M1, and M2.
Aflatoxins are a family of toxic, acetate-derived decaketides that arise biosynthetically through polyhydroxyanthraquinone intermediates. Most studies have assumed that aflatoxin B1 is the biosynthetic precursor of the other aflatoxins. We used a strain of Aspergillus flavus which accumulates aflatoxin B2 to investigate the later stages of aflatoxin biosynthesis. This strain produced aflatoxins...
متن کاملBiosynthetic Pathways of Ergot Alkaloids
Ergot alkaloids are nitrogen-containing natural products belonging to indole alkaloids. The best known producers are fungi of the phylum Ascomycota, e.g., Claviceps, Epichloë, Penicillium and Aspergillus species. According to their structures, ergot alkaloids can be divided into three groups: clavines, lysergic acid amides and peptides (ergopeptines). All of them share the first biosynthetic st...
متن کاملABA Biosynthetic and Catabolic Pathways
© Springer Science+Business Media Dordrecht 2014 D.-P. Zhang (ed.), Abscisic Acid: Metabolism, Transport and Signaling, DOI 10.1007/978-94-017-9424-4_2 Abstract Abscisic acid (ABA) is a phytohormone that regulates physiological processes such as seed maturation, seed dormancy, and stress adaptation. These physiological responses are triggered by the fluctuation of endogenous ABA levels in accor...
متن کاملBiosynthetic pathways in chemical phylogeny.
An approach to chemical phylogeny is discussed, based on an emphasis on alterations of biosynthetic pathways rather than on isolations of individual compounds. Some offshoots of biosynthetic pathways to target molecules such as gibberellic acid are considered. Attempts are made to assess the significance of alterations of pathways in terms of the chemical probabilities of their occurrences. Att...
متن کاملBiosensor-based engineering of biosynthetic pathways.
Biosynthetic pathways provide an enzymatic route from inexpensive renewable resources to valuable metabolic products such as pharmaceuticals and plastics. Designing these pathways is challenging due to the complexities of biology. Advances in the design and construction of genetic variants has enabled billions of cells, each possessing a slightly different metabolic design, to be rapidly genera...
