Extending enzyme molecular recognition with an expanded amino acid alphabet
, 2017 Natural enzymes are constructed from the twenty proteogenic amino acids, which may then require post-translational modification or the recruitment of coenzymes or metal ions to achieve catalytic function.

The first step into phenolic metabolism in the hornwort Anthoceros agrestis: molecular and biochemical characterization of two phenylalanine ammonia-lyase isoforms [PDF]
, 2022 Two isoforms of phenylalanine ammonia-lyase (PAL) have been isolated as cDNA sequences from the hornwort Anthoceros agrestis. The encoded enzymes convert L-phenylalanine and to lower extents L-tyrosine and L-histidine.

Fruit respiration: putting alternative pathways into perspective
New Phytologist, EarlyView.Summary Over the past century, research has significantly advanced our understanding of fruit respiration, from (eco)physiological processes to molecular mechanisms. This review focuses on the functional relevance and regulatory roles of mitochondrial alternative respiratory pathways (ARPs) during fruit growth and ripening.

Biosynthesis of caffeic acid in
Microbial Cell Factories, 2012 Background Caffeic acid (3,4-dihydroxycinnamic acid) is a natural phenolic compound derived from the plant phenylpropanoid pathway. Caffeic acid and its phenethyl ester (CAPE) have attracted increasing attention for their various pharmaceutical ...

New Phytologist, EarlyView.Summary The mechanisms controlling lateral root emergence in monocots, particularly the role of the exodermis, are poorly understood. We investigated how natural variation in the Brachypodium distachyon stress response shapes root system architecture by modulating cell wall dynamics.

Dehydroalanine in Histidine Ammonia Lyase
Journal of Biological Chemistry, 1969 Abstract Preparations of highly purified Pseudomonas histidine ammonia lyase were inactivated by reduction with sodium borotritide. Alanine was the only labeled material in acid hydrolysates of the dialyzed product. Its presence indicates the presence of dehydroalanine (2-aminoacrylic acid) in the enzyme.

From Aminomutases to Ammonia Lyases: A Protein Engineering Study [PDF]
Biophysical Journal, 2014 Ammonia lyases and aminomutases are emerging as important enzymatic systems, not only in green synthetic routes to chiral amines, but also as potential target for enzyme therapeutic for treating diseases such as phenylketonuria and cancer (1). On the other hand, β-amino acids harbor many applications in their free form and as building blocks of ...

New Phytologist, EarlyView.Summary Postharvest pathogens can infect fresh produce both before and after harvest, by direct or wound‐enhanced penetration, remaining quiescent until ripening. Biotrophic‐like postharvest pathogens persist beneath host cells and can remain in a state of quiescence.

Studies on lignification in wheat (Triticum aestivum var. Thatcher) : a thesis presented in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Science in Botany at Massey University [PDF]
, 1975 PART I Transections of the stem of Triticum were examined after staining with dyes specific for functional groups within the lignin polymer. Anatomical observations suggest that the basis for the rapid increase in the lignin content of this plant 35 to ...

Plant Biotechnology Journal, EarlyView.Summary Coexpression of genes involved in carbon (C) and nitrogen (N) metabolism offers a promising avenue for improving crop yield. This study investigated the impact of coexpressing phosphoenolpyruvate carboxylase [ZmPEPC (P)], aspartate aminotransferase [GmAspAT (A)] and glutamine synthetase [NtGS (G)] in Brassica juncea to enhance plant yield ...
