Dedicated ent-kaurene and ent-atiserene synthases for platensimycin and platencin biosynthesis.
Platensimycin (PTM) and platencin (PTN) are potent and selective inhibitors of bacterial and mammalian fatty acid synthases and have emerged as promising drug leads for both antibacterial and antidiabetic therapies. Comparative analysis of the PTM and PTN biosynthetic machineries in Streptomyces platensis MA7327 and MA7339 revealed that the divergence of PTM and PTN biosynthesis is controlled b...
متن کاملArabidopsis ent-kaurene oxidase catalyzes three steps of gibberellin biosynthesis.
The Arabidopsis GA3 cDNA was expressed in yeast (Saccharomyces cerevisiae) and the ability of the transformed yeast cells to metabolize ent-kaurene was tested. We show by full-scan gas chromatography-mass spectrometry that the transformed cells produce ent-kaurenoic acid, and demonstrate that the single enzyme GA3 (ent-kaurene oxidase) catalyzes the three steps of gibberellin biosynthesis from ...
متن کاملEnt-Kaurene Biosynthesis in Extracts of Helianthus annuus L. Seedlings.
Kaurene synthetase B activity (conversion of copalyl pyrophosphate to ent-kaurene) is readily detectable in crude cell-free extracts of 3- to 4-day old dark-grown sunflower (Helianthus annuus cv. Mammoth) seedlings, whereas little or no kaurene synthetase AB activity (conversion of geranylgeranyl pyrophosphate to ent-kaurene) can be found in these extracts under comparable assay conditions. A l...
متن کاملCytotoxic ent-kaurene diterpenoids from Isodon phyllostachys.
ent-Kaurene diterpenoids, phyllostachysins D-H (1-5), together with nine known compounds, rabdoloxins A-B (6-7), rabdoinflexin B (8), amethystoidin A (9), rabdokunmin D (10), macrocalyxin E (11), 5,7-dihydroxy-4'-hydroxylflavone (12), oleanolic acid (13) and daucosterol (14), were isolated from aerial parts of Isodon phyllostachys. Structures were elucidated on the basis of spectroscopic method...
متن کاملExtending a Single Residue Switch for Abbreviating Catalysis in Plant ent-Kaurene Synthases
Production of ent-kaurene as a precursor for important signaling molecules such as the gibberellins seems to have arisen early in plant evolution, with corresponding cyclase(s) present in all land plants (i.e., embryophyta). The relevant enzymes seem to represent fusion of the class II diterpene cyclase that produces the intermediate ent-copalyl diphosphate (ent-CPP) and the subsequently acting...
