The Research Progress of Chalcone Isomerase (CHI) in Plants

Molecular Biotechnology, 2018
Chalcone isomerase (CHI) is the second rate-limiting and the first reported enzyme involved in the biosynthetic pathway of flavonoids. It catalyzes the intramolecular cyclization reaction, converting the bicyclic chalcone into tricyclic (2S)-flavanone.

Structure and catalytic mechanism of the evolutionarily unique bacterial chalcone isomerase

Acta Crystallographica Section D: Biological Crystallography, 2015
Flavonoids represent a large class of secondary metabolites produced by plants. These polyphenolic compounds are well known for their antioxidative abilities, are antimicrobial phytoalexins responsible for flower pigmentation to attract pollinators and, in addition to other properties, are also specific bacterial regulators governing the expression ...

First bacterial chalcone isomerase isolated from Eubacterium ramulus

Archives of Microbiology, 2004
The human fecal anaerobe Eubacterium ramulus is capable of degrading various flavonoids, including the flavone naringenin. The first step in the proposed degradation pathway is the isomerization of naringenin to the corresponding chalcone. Cell-free extracts of E. ramulus displayed chalcone isomerase activity. The enzyme from E. ramulus was purified to

Genetic control of chalcone-flavanone isomerase activity in Callistephus chinensis

Planta, 1978
A mutant blocked in anthocyanin synthesis leads to an accumulation of 4,2',4',6'-tetrahydroxy-chalcone-2'-glucoside (isosalipurposide) in blossoms of Callistephus chinesis (L.) Nees, whereas in geno-types with the wild-type allele, higher oxidized flavonoids and anthocyanins are synthesized.
