Divergent pathways in the biosynthesis of bisindole natural products.
Two molecules of the amino acid L-tryptophan are the biosynthetic precursors to a class of natural products named the "bisindoles." Hundreds of these bisindole molecules have been isolated from natural sources, and many of these molecules have potent medicinal properties. Recent studies have clarified the biosynthetic construction of six bisindole molecules, revealing novel enzymatic mechanisms...
متن کاملBiosynthesis of terpenoid natural products in fungi.
Tens of thousands of terpenoid natural products have been isolated from plants and microbial sources. Higher fungi (Ascomycota and Basidiomycota) are known to produce an array of well-known terpenoid natural products, including mycotoxins, antibiotics, antitumor compounds, and phytohormones. Except for a few well-studied fungal biosynthetic pathways, the majority of genes and biosynthetic pathw...
متن کاملNatural products in synthesis and biosynthesis II
As a continuation of the first two Thematic Series in the Beilstein Journal of Organic Chemistry on natural products in 2011 and 2013 [1,2], it is my pleasure to present the third issue on this topic. Natural products continue to be an inspiring field of research and an important source of potent biologically active compounds. This was recently highlighted by the fact that last year’s Nobel Pri...
متن کاملNatural products in synthesis and biosynthesis
This article is part of the Thematic Series "Natural products in synthesis and biosynthesis". This is the second Thematic Series in the Beilstein Journal of Organic Chemistry focused on natural products. While the first Thematic Series summarized recent research work on the biosynthesis and function of natural products [1,2], the present Thematic Series deals with synthetic and biosynthetic asp...
متن کاملStructures and Biosynthesis of Enediyne Natural Products
Enediyne natural products are important member of natural product family with strong DNA cleavage activity. This biological activity makes them excellent candidates for developing novel antibiotics and antitumor drugs. Highly unsaturated enediyne cores, sugar moieties and aromatic moieties are basic components of structures of enediyne natural products. Genes encoding enzymes responsible for en...
