Cloning and Overexpression of Strictosidine β-D-Glucosidase Gene Short Sequence from Catharanthus roseus in Escherichia coli [PDF]
Purpose: Strictosidine-β-D-glucosidase (SGD) is considered as a key enzyme in the production of bisindole alkaloids in Catharanthus roseus. The present study illustrated the production of a short sequence of this enzyme in Escherichia coli without codon ...

Oxidative Rearrangements of the Alkaloid Intermediate Geissoschizine
19E‐geissoschizine is a key precursor in the biosynthesis of monoterpene indole alkaloids such as strychnine, ibogaine, and vinblastine. Using enzymatic assays and gene silencing, three CYPs were identified from C. roseus that oxidize this compound to four alkaloid scaffolds: strychnos, sarpagan, akuammiline, and mavacurane. Mutational analysis reveals
