Stereochemical control of DNA biosynthesis.
Stereochemical control of DNA biosynthesis was studied using several DNA-synthesizing complexes containing, in each case, a single substitution of a 2'-deoxy-D-nucleotide residue by an enantiomeric L-nucleotide residue in a DNA chain (either in the primer or in the template) as well as 2'-deoxy-L-ribonucleoside 5'-triphosphates (L-dNTPs) as substrates. Three template-dependent DNA polymerases w...
متن کاملStereochemical aspects of lotaustralin biosynthesis.
The methyl linamarin that occurs naturally in linen flax (Zinum usifafissimum L.) seedlings was shown to have the R configuration, i.e. it is identical with (R)-lotaustralin, (R)-2hydroxy-Z-methylbutyronitrile-P -D glucopyranoside. However, when a mixture of the two enantiomers (R,S)-2-hydroxy-2-methylbutyronitrile, was administered to excised flax shoots, both (R)-lotaustrahn and its epimer (S...
متن کاملEssences in Metabolic Engineering of Lignan Biosynthesis
Lignans are structurally and functionally diverse phytochemicals biosynthesized in diverse plant species and have received wide attentions as leading compounds of novel drugs for tumor treatment and healthy diets to reduce of the risks of lifestyle-related non-communicable diseases. However, the lineage-specific distribution and the low-amount of production in natural plants, some of which are ...
متن کاملMetabolic engineering of lignan biosynthesis in Forsythia cell culture.
Lignans are a large class of secondary metabolites in plants, with numerous biological effects in mammals, including antitumor and antioxidant activities. Sesamin, the most abundant furofuran-class lignan in sesame seeds (Sesamum plants), is produced by the cytochrome P450 enzyme CYP81Q1 from the precursor lignan, pinoresinol. In contrast, Forsythia plants produce dibenzylbutyrolactone-class li...
متن کاملA Functional Genomics Approach to Tanshinone Biosynthesis Provides Stereochemical Insights
Tanshinones are abietane-type norditerpenoid quinone natural products that are the bioactive components of the Chinese medicinal herb Salvia miltiorrhiza Bunge. The initial results from a functional genomics-based investigation of tanshinone biosynthesis, specifically the functional identification of the relevant diterpene synthases from S. miltiorrhiza, are reported. The cyclohexa-1,4-diene ar...
