Molecular Cloning and Characterization of the Phenylalanine Aminomutase Gene From Taxus baccata L.
Background: Taxol is one of the most important anti-cancer drugs, which is obtained from yew trees (<span style="font-variant: normal; ...
متن کاملCloning and sequencing of hydroxylase genes involved in taxol biosynthesis.
Two full-length cDNAs (TCH1 and TCH2) were obtained from a cDNA library of Taxus chinensis mainly by the single specific-primer PCR (SSP-PCR) method. Compared with other reported enzymes from Taxus species, the deduced amino acid sequences of TCH1 and TCH2 exhibit significant homologies to hydroxylases that are involved in taxol biosynthesis. These findings imply that the two new genes are clos...
متن کاملCloning, sequencing, heterologous expression, purification, and characterization of adenosylcobalamin-dependent D-ornithine aminomutase from Clostridium sticklandii.
D-Ornithine aminomutase from Clostridium sticklandii catalyzes the reversible rearrangement of d-ornithine to (2R,4S)-2,4-diaminopentanoic acid. The two genes encoding d-ornithine aminomutase have been cloned, sequenced, and expressed in Escherichia coli. The oraS gene, which encodes a protein of 121 amino acid residues with M(r) 12,800, is situated upstream of the oraE gene, which encodes a pr...
متن کاملMolecular cloning and heterologous expression of the C-13 phenylpropanoid side chain-CoA acyltransferase that functions in Taxol biosynthesis.
The structural pharmacophore of Taxol, responsible for binding the N terminus of the beta-subunit of tubulin to arrest cell proliferation, comprises, in part, the 13-O-(N-benzoyl-3-phenylisoserinoyl) side chain. To identify the side chain transferase of Taxol biosynthesis, a set of transacylases obtained from an enriched cDNA library (constructed from mRNA isolated from Taxus cuspidata cells in...
متن کاملCloning, sequencing, heterologous expression, purification, and characterization of adenosylcobalamin-dependent D-lysine 5, 6-aminomutase from Clostridium sticklandii.
D-Lysine 5,6-aminomutase from Clostridium sticklandii catalyzes the 1,2-shift of the epsilon-amino group of D-lysine and reverse migration of C5(H). The two genes encoding 5,6-aminomutase have been cloned, sequenced, and expressed in Escherchia coli. They are adjacent on the Clostridial chromosome and encode polypeptides of 57. 3 and 29.2 kilodaltons. The predicted amino acid sequence includes ...
