Functional conservation of coenzyme Q biosynthetic genes among yeasts, plants, and humans. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2014
Coenzyme Q (CoQ) is an essential factor for aerobic growth and oxidative phosphorylation in the electron transport system. The biosynthetic pathway for CoQ has been proposed mainly from biochemical and genetic analyses of Escherichia coli and ...

Survey of Biosynthetic Gene Clusters from Sequenced Myxobacteria Reveals Unexplored Biosynthetic Potential [PDF]

Microorganisms, 2019
Coinciding with the increase in sequenced bacteria, mining of bacterial genomes for biosynthetic gene clusters (BGCs) has become a critical component of natural product discovery. The order Myxococcales, a reputable source of biologically active secondary metabolites, spans three suborders which all include natural product producing representatives ...

Functional Analysis of the Fusarielin Biosynthetic Gene Cluster [PDF]

Molecules, 2016
Fusarielins are polyketides with a decalin core produced by various species of Aspergillus and Fusarium. Although the responsible gene cluster has been identified, the biosynthetic pathway remains to be elucidated. In the present study, members of the gene cluster were deleted individually in a Fusarium graminearum strain overexpressing the local ...

Exogenous Methyl Jasmonate and Salicylic Acid Induce Subspecies-Specific Patterns of Glucosinolate Accumulation and Gene Expression in Brassica oleracea L.

Molecules, 2016
Glucosinolates have anti-carcinogenic properties. In the recent decades, the genetics of glucosinolate biosynthesis has been widely studied, however, the expression of specific genes involved in glucosinolate biosynthesis under exogenous phytohormone ...

Expression Profiling of Glucosinolate Biosynthetic Genes in Brassica oleracea L. var. capitata Inbred Lines Reveals Their Association with Glucosinolate Content

Molecules, 2016
Glucosinolates are the biochemical compounds that provide defense to plants against pathogens and herbivores. In this study, the relative expression level of 48 glucosinolate biosynthesis genes was explored in four morphologically-different cabbage ...

Lipid biosynthetic genes and a ribosomal protein gene are cotranscribed [PDF]

FEBS Letters, 1995
By using insertional mutagenesis we demonstrated that the rpmF gene encoding ribosomal protein L32, the plsX gene encoding a protein involved in membrane lipid synthesis and several fatty acid biosynthetic genes (fabH, fabD and fabG) are cotranscribed.
