Aflatoxin Biosynthetic Pathway Enzymes
Five strains ofAspergillusfJavus lacking the ability to produce aflatoxins were examined in greenhouse tests for the ability to prevent a toxigenic strain from contaminating developing cottonseed with aflatoxins. All atoxigenic strains reduced contamination when inoculated into developing bolls 24 h prior to the toxigenic strain. However, only one strain, AF36, was highly effective when inocula...
متن کاملInteractions among enzymes of the Arabidopsis flavonoid biosynthetic pathway.
Flavonoids are secondary metabolites derived from phenylalanine and acetate metabolism that perform a variety of essential functions in higher plants. Studies over the past 30 years have supported a model in which flavonoid metabolism is catalyzed by an enzyme complex localized to the endoplasmic reticulum [Hrazdina, G. & Wagner, G. J. (1985) Arch. Biochem. Biophys. 237, 88-100]. To test this m...
متن کاملStructural studies of rebeccamycin, staurosporine, and violacein biosynthetic enzymes
The biosynthesis of medically relevant bisindole natural products rebeccamycin, staurosporine, and violacein from the common starting material L-tryptophan involves shared enzymatic transformations. However, the pathways diverge at two steps, each involving a reactive, bisindole intermediate. We have taken a structural approach to characterize the biosynthetic enzymes responsible for these dive...
متن کاملDivergent non-heme iron enzymes in the nogalamycin biosynthetic pathway.
Nogalamycin, an aromatic polyketide displaying high cytotoxicity, has a unique structure, with one of the carbohydrate units covalently attached to the aglycone via an additional carbon-carbon bond. The underlying chemistry, which implies a particularly challenging reaction requiring activation of an aliphatic carbon atom, has remained enigmatic. Here, we show that the unusual C5''-C2 carbocycl...
متن کاملStructural genomics of enzymes involved in sterol/isoprenoid biosynthesis.
X-ray structures of two enzymes in the sterol/isoprenoid biosynthesis pathway have been determined in a structural genomics pilot study. Mevalonate-5-diphosphate decarboxylase (MDD) is a single-domain alpha/beta protein that catalyzes the last of three sequential ATP-dependent reactions which convert mevalonate to isopentenyl diphosphate. Isopentenyl disphosphate isomerase (IDI) is an alpha/bet...
