The Carcinoembryonic Antigen Gene Family [PDF]

open access: yes, 1988
The molecular cloning of carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) and several cross-reacting antigens reveals a basic domain structure for the whole family, which shows structural similarities to the immunoglobulin superfamily.

Functional characterization of a melon alcohol acyl-transferase gene family involved in the biosynthesis of ester volatiles. Identification of the crucial role of a threonine residue for enzyme activity [PDF]

open access: yes, 2005
Volatile esters, a major class of compounds contributing to the aroma of many fruit, are synthesized by alcohol acyl-transferases (AAT). We demonstrate here that, in Charentais melon (Cucumis melo var.

The Fungal Pathogen Fusarium graminearum Can Hydrolyse Tryptamine‐Derived Hydroxy‐Cinnamic Acid Amide Defence Compounds, and Generates Highly Increased Auxin Levels in Wheat via Copper Amine‐Oxidases

open access: yesMolecular Plant Pathology, Volume 27, Issue 8, August 2026.
Fusarium graminearum can cleave tryptamine‐derived hydroxycinnamic acid amides and convert the released tryptamine into auxin, suppressing plant defence responses; aoxΔ7—septuple knockout of copper amine oxidases blocks auxin formation. ABSTRACT The important cereal pathogen Fusarium graminearum is not only able to produce trichothecene toxins, like ...

An acyltransferase gene that putatively functions in anthocyanin modification was horizontally transferred from Fabaceae into the genus Cuscuta

open access: yesPlant Diversity, 2016
Horizontal gene transfer (HGT) refers to the flow of genetic materials to non-offspring, and occasionally HGT in plants can improve the adaptation of organisms in new niches due to expanded metabolic capability.

Apple scar skin viroid causes dapple and scar skin apple diseases by disrupting phenylpropanoid‐mediated metabolic pathways

open access: yesNew Plant Protection, Volume 3, Issue 2, June 2026.
Dapple apple and scar skin apple diseases are closely associated with suppression of anthocyanin biosynthesis and enhancement of suberin biosynthesis. Apple scar skin viroid (ASSVd) infection represses anthocyanin biosynthesis in apple callus. Abstract Apple scar skin viroid (ASSVd) causes dapple and scar skin apple diseases, posing serious threats to ...

Image_2_Identification and analysis of BAHD superfamily related to malonyl ginsenoside biosynthesis in Panax ginseng.jpeg

open access: yes, 2023
IntroductionThe BAHD (benzylalcohol O-acetyl transferase, anthocyanin O-hydroxycinnamoyl transferase, N-hydroxycinnamoyl anthranilate benzoyl transferase and deacetylvindoline 4-O-acetyltransferase), has various biological functions in plants, including ...

Modification of plant cell walls with hydroxycinnamic acids by BAHD acyltransferases [PDF]

open access: yes, 2023
In the last decade it has become clear that enzymes in the “BAHD” family of acyl-CoA transferases play important roles in the addition of phenolic acids to form ester-linked moieties on cell wall polymers.

The shape of human gene family phylogenies [PDF]

open access: yes, 2006
Background: The shape of phylogenetic trees has been used to make inferences about the evolutionary process by comparing the shapes of actual phylogenies with those expected under simple models of the speciation process. Previous studies have focused

Rewiring Steroidal Metabolic Pathways for Diosgenin Production in Solanum nigrum

open access: yesPlant Biotechnology Journal, Volume 24, Issue 5, Page 3032-3047, May 2026.
ABSTRACT Diosgenin is a key starting material for the synthesis of steroidal drugs, such as corticosteroids and sex hormones. While the primary commercial source of diosgenin is the tubers of Dioscorea spp., identifying alternative plant hosts capable of diosgenin biosynthesis could enhance its production.
