Structural biology in plant natural product biosynthesis--architecture of enzymes from monoterpenoid indole and tropane alkaloid biosynthesis.

چکیده
Several cDNAs of enzymes catalyzing biosynthetic pathways of plant-derived alkaloids have recently been heterologously expressed, and the production of appropriate enzymes from ajmaline and tropane alkaloid biosynthesis in bacteria allows their crystallization. This review describes the architecture of these enzymes with and without their ligands.

Recent advances in the cell, developmental, and molecular biology of alkaloid biosynthesis have heightened our appreciation for the complexity and importance of plant secondary pathways. Several biosynthetic genes involved in the formation of tropane, benzylisoquinoline, and terpenoid indole alkaloids have now been isolated. The early events of signal perception, the pathways of signal transduc...
متن کاملMolecular architecture of strictosidine glucosidase: the gateway to the biosynthesis of the monoterpenoid indole alkaloid family.
Strictosidine beta-D-glucosidase (SG) follows strictosidine synthase (STR1) in the production of the reactive intermediate required for the formation of the large family of monoterpenoid indole alkaloids in plants. This family is composed of approximately 2000 structurally diverse compounds. SG plays an important role in the plant cell by activating the glucoside strictosidine and allowing it t...

The differential incorporation of doubly labelled strictosidine and vincoside into several indole alkaloids belonging to the Corynanthe (3a and 3p series), Aspidosperma, and lboga types in three plant families has been studied, and it has been demonstrated that only strictosidine is incorporated while vincoside is metabolically inert in these plants with regard to alkaloid formation. During the...
متن کاملA Comprehensive Overview on Valuable Tropane Alkaloids: Scopolamine, Atropine, and Hyoscyamine
Tropane alkaloids such as scopolamine (C17H21NO4), atropine (C17H23NO3) and hyoscyamine (C17H23NO3) are the most important plant secondary metabolites in the pharmaceutical industry due to anticholinergic activity, competition with muscarinic receptors and also treating different human diseases. Scopolamine, hyoscyamine and atropine are the most important tropane alkaloids used as anticoagulant...
متن کاملA role for intra- and intercellular translocation in natural product biosynthesis.
The formation and storage of plant natural products such as phenylpropanoids, terpenoids and alkaloids are dynamic and complex processes that involve multiple subcellular compartments and cell types. Evidence is emerging to show that consecutive enzymes of phenylpropanoid and flavonoid biosynthesis are organized into macromolecular complexes that can be associated with endomembranes, that monot...
