Widespread occurrence of secondary lipid biosynthesis potential in microbial lineages. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2011
Bacterial production of long-chain omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs), such as eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA, 20:5n-3) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA, 22:6n-3), is constrained to a narrow subset of marine γ-proteobacteria.

Organellar carbon metabolism is co-ordinated with distinct developmental phases of secondary xylem [PDF]

, 2019
Subcellular compartmentation of plant biosynthetic pathways in the mitochondria and plastids requires coordinated regulation of nuclear encoded genes, and the role of these genes has been largely ignored by wood researchers. In this study, we constructed

The Transcriptional Architecture of Bacterial Biosynthetic Gene Clusters

Journal of Natural Products
AbstractBacteria produce diverse bioactive metabolites with ecological and pharmaceutical importance. These compounds are synthesized by biosynthetic gene clusters (BGCs), whose expression is tightly regulated. While many studies have examined the factors influencing BGC expression, including transcription factors (TFs) and environmental signals, the ...

Heterologous Expression of Novobiocin and Clorobiocin Biosynthetic Gene Clusters [PDF]

Applied and Environmental Microbiology, 2005
ABSTRACT A method was developed for the heterologous expression of biosynthetic gene clusters in different Streptomyces strains and for the modification of these clusters by single or multiple gene replacements or gene deletions with unprecedented speed and versatility.

Genetic attenuation of ALDH1A1 increases metastatic potential and aggressiveness in colorectal cancer

Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.
Aldehyde dehydrogenase 1A1 (ALDH1A1) is a cancer stem cell marker in several malignancies. We established a novel epithelial cell line from rectal adenocarcinoma with unique overexpression of this enzyme. Genetic attenuation of ALDH1A1 led to increased invasive capacity and metastatic potential, the inhibition of proliferation activity, and ultimately ...

Diazaquinomycin Biosynthetic Gene Clusters from Marine and Freshwater Actinomycetes [PDF]

Journal of Natural Products, 2019
Tuberculosis is an infectious disease of global concern. Members of the diazaquinomycin (DAQ) class of natural products have shown potent and selective activity against drug-resistant Mycobacterium tuberculosis. However, poor solubility has prevented further development of this compound class.

Antibiofilm activity of a chionodracine‐derived peptide by NMR‐based metabolomics of cell‐free supernatant of Acinetobacter baumannii clinical strains

FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
KHS‐Cnd peptide is able to impair biofilm formation and disaggregate mature biofilms in Acinetobacter baumannii clinical isolates. Differences in extracellular metabolites reflect changes in biofilm metabolism due to KHS‐Cnd treatment. Among the differentially represented extracellular metabolites upon KHS‐Cnd treatment, the significantly altered ...

Identification of putative dothistromin biosynthetic genes : a thesis presented in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Science in Molecular Biology at Massey University, Palmerston North, New Zealand [PDF]

, 1998
Dothistromin is a polyketide-derived mycotoxin produced by the Pinus pathogen Dothistroma pini, and is thought to be important in the development of the necrotic disease Dothistroma needle blight.

A large scale prediction of bacteriocin gene blocks suggests a wide functional spectrum for bacteriocins

, 2015
Bacteriocins are peptide-derived molecules produced by bacteria, whose recently-discovered functions include virulence factors and signalling molecules as well as their better known roles as antibiotics.

Terzyme: a tool for identification and analysis of the plant terpenome. [PDF]

, 2018
BACKGROUND: Terpenoid hydrocarbons represent the largest and most ancient group of phytochemicals, such that the entire chemical library of a plant is often referred to as its 'terpenome'.
