Molecular biology of mycotoxin biosynthesis.
Mycotoxins are secondary metabolites produced by many important phytopathogenic and food spoilage fungi including Aspergillus, Fusarium and Penicillium species. The toxicity of four of the most agriculturally important mycotoxins (the trichothecenes, and the polyketide-derived mycotoxins; aflatoxins, fumonisins and sterigmatocystin) are discussed and their chemical structure described. The step...
متن کاملMolecular Biology of Chili Pepper Anthocyanin Biosynthesis
Chili pepper (Capsicum spp.) is an important horticultural crop worldwide. Chili pepper fruits from different Capsicum species have been highly consumed in Mexico since pre-Columbian times. Some Capsicum species synthesize and accumulate anthocyanins in different tissues and organs. Although the anthocyanin biosynthetic pathway has been established for different plant species, very few studies ...
متن کاملKallikrein and renin: molecular biology and biosynthesis.
1. A cDNA clone library was constructed from male mouse submandibular gland poly(A)+RNA. 2. A 500 base-pair sequence consisting of a 3' untranslated region plus a 447 base-pair region coding for an amino acid sequence having 57% homology with the C-terminal 149 amino acids in the 230 amino acid chain of porcine pancreatic kallikrein was identified. 3. The sequence was strongly but not completel...
متن کاملTowards Systems Biology of Mycotoxin Regulation
Systems biology is a scientific approach that integrates many scientific disciplines to develop a comprehensive understanding of biological phenomena, thus allowing the prediction and accurate simulation of complex biological behaviors. It may be presumptuous to write about toxin regulation at the level of systems biology, but the last decade of research is leading us closer than ever to this a...
متن کاملMolecular biology of pyridine nucleotide and nicotine biosynthesis.
Nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD) is a ubiquitous coenzyme in oxidation-reduction reactions. Recent animal and fungal studies show that it also plays important roles in transcriptional regulation, longevity, and age-associated diseases. NAD is synthesized de novo from aspartic acid in E. coli or from tryptophan in animals, by way of quinolinic acid. Although the number of biochemical stud...
