Analysis of Bacterial Phosphorylcholine-Related Genes Reveals an Association between Type-Specific Biosynthesis Pathways and Biomolecules Targeted for Phosphorylcholine Modification

open access: yesMicrobiology Spectrum, 2023
Many bacterial surface proteins and carbohydrates are modified with phosphorylcholine (ChoP), which contributes to host mimicry and can also promote colonization and survival in the host. However, the ChoP biosynthetic pathways that are used in bacterial

A biosynthetic pathway for anandamide [PDF]

open access: yesProceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 2006
The endocannabinoid arachidonoyl ethanolamine (anandamide) is a lipid transmitter synthesized and released “on demand” by neurons in the brain. Anandamide is also generated by macrophages where its endotoxin (LPS)-induced synthesis has been implicated in the hypotension of septic shock and advanced liver cirrhosis.

Identification of novel high mannose N-glycan isomers undescribed by current multicellular eukaryotic biosynthetic pathways [PDF]

open access: yes, 2022
N-linked glycosylation is one of the most important post-translational modifications of proteins. Current knowledge of multicellular eukaryote N-glycan biosynthesis suggests high mannose N-glycans are generated in the endoplasmic reticulum and Golgi ...

Antibiotics ‐ cloning of biosynthetic pathways [PDF]

open access: yesFEBS Letters, 1990
Biosynthetic pathways leading to antibiotics have often been found to be clustered, and new organizational forms of multifunctional enzymes have been discovered. Such polyenzymes accomplish the synthesis of complex metabolites such as peptides or polyketides by a sequence of enzymatic reactions.

Shared PKS Module in Biosynthesis of Synergistic Laxaphycins

open access: yesFrontiers in Microbiology, 2020
Cyanobacteria produce a wide range of lipopeptides that exhibit potent membrane-disrupting activities. Laxaphycins consist of two families of structurally distinct macrocyclic lipopeptides that act in a synergistic manner to produce antifungal and ...

Deep learning driven biosynthetic pathways navigation for natural products with BioNavi-NP

open access: yes, 2022
The complete biosynthetic pathways are unknown for most natural products (NPs), it is thus valuable to make computer-aided bio-retrosynthesis predictions.
