Diversity of ThDP‐Dependent Enzymes Forming Chiral Tertiary Alcohols
Chiral tertiary alcohols are widespread in nature and bioactive compounds; however, their asymmetric synthesis faces several challenges. This review outlines the toolbox of ThDP‐dependent enzymes able to produce tertiary alcohols through the formation of CC bond formation using ketones as acceptor substrates. Herein, the substrate scope, the diversity

Bioactivity‐guided isolation led to the discovery of a potent and selective inhibitor of the phytopathogen Botrytis cinerea, pleosporacin (1), from mycelia extracts of the fungal strain Pleosporales sp. IBWF 020‐21. The biosynthesis of the nonribosomal cyclic lipodepsipeptide 1 was elucidated via heterologous reconstitution in Aspergillus oryzae ...

Advancing the Exploration of the Ubiquitin‐like Protein FUBI with Synthetic Chemical Tools
The Ubiquitin‐like protein FUBI is encoded in humans by the FAU gene, whose down‐regulation in prostate, ovarian and breast cancer is significantly associated with poor prognosis. Despite its implications in disease progression, the regulatory mechanisms orchestrated by FUBI remain elusive. To address this knowledge gap, we developed a linear synthetic

PLK4: Master Regulator of Centriole Duplication and Its Therapeutic Potential
ABSTRACT Centrosomes catalyze the assembly of a microtubule‐based bipolar spindle, essential for the precise chromosome segregation during cell division. At the center of this process lies Polo‐Like Kinase 4 (PLK4), the master regulator that controls the duplication of the centriolar core to ensure the correct balance of two centrosomes per dividing ...
