Mechanistic Aspects of Carotenoid Biosynthesis [PDF]

Chemical Reviews, 2013
Carotenoids represent a large class of terpenoids characterized by an extensively conjugated polyene chain. The conjugation system imparts carotenoids with excellent light absorbing properties in the blue-green (450–550 nm) range of the visible spectrum.

Broad‐Spectrum, Cell Envelope‐Active Marinocyclin Antibiotics From a Coral‐Derived Bacterium Are Effective Against Colistin‐Resistant Bacteria

Angewandte Chemie, EarlyView.
Marinocyclins, polycationic macrocyclic depsipeptides, were discovered by genome mining from the marine coral‐derived bacterium Aquimarina megaterium. The compounds have broad‐spectrum activity against gram‐positive and gram‐negative ESKAPE bacteria.

GLKs directly regulate carotenoid biosynthesis via interacting with GBFs in plants.

New Phytologist
Carotenoids are vital photosynthetic pigments for plants. Golden2-like transcription factors (GLKs) are widely recognized as major regulators of Chl biosynthesis and chloroplast development.

Several geranylgeranyl diphosphate synthase isoforms supply metabolic substrates for carotenoid biosynthesis in tomato

bioRxiv, 2020
Geranylgeranyl diphosphate (GGPP) produced by GGPP synthase (GGPPS) serves as a precursor for many plastidial isoprenoids, including carotenoids. Here we show that five different GGPPS isoforms exist in tomato (Solanum lycopersicum). From these, SlGGPPS1,

Genome-wide identification and characterization of genes involved in carotenoid metabolic in three stages of grapevine fruit development

Scientific Reports, 2017
Carotenoids not only play indispensable roles in plant growth and development but also enhance nutritional value and health benefits for humans. In this study, total carotenoids progressively decreased during fruit ripening. Fifty-four genes involving in
