Frontiers in Plant Science, 2018 Terpenes serve important physiological and ecological functions in plants. Sindora glabra trees accumulate copious amounts of sesquiterpene-rich oleoresin in the stem. A transcriptome approach was used to determine the unique terpene biosynthesis pathway

Unusual (2R,6R)-bicyclo[3.1.1]heptane ring construction in fungal α-trans-bergamotene biosynthesis
iScience, 2022 Summary: Bergamotenes are bicyclo[3.1.1]heptane sesquiterpenes found abundantly in plants and fungi. Known bergamotene derivatives all possess (2S,6S)-bergamotene backbone. In this study, two (+)-α-trans-bergamotene derivatives (1 and 2) with unusual (2R,

Angewandte Chemie International Edition, EarlyView.A non‐canonical C16 sesquiterpene synthase from Morganella morganii produces the unusual scaffold descartane. Its cyclisation mechanism was rationalised by isotopic labelling experiments and DFT calculations. Site‐directed mutagenesis altered enzyme function, resulting in alternative products, including voltairene, which requires a different ...

Purification and characterization of farnesyl pyrophosphate synthase from Capsicum annuum
FEBS Letters, 1990 Faraesyl pyrophosphate synthase (FPP) displaying dimethylallyl transferase activity (EC 2.5.1.1) and geranyl transferase activity (EC 2.5.1.10) was purified from Capsicum fruits. This prenyltransferase has a molecular mass of 89000 ± 5000 Da resulting from the association of two apparently identical subunits having a molecular mass of 43000 ± 2000 Da ...

Regulation of hepatic coenzyme Q biosynthesis by dietary omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids
Redox Biology, 2021 Dietary fats are important for human health, yet it is not fully understood how different fats affect various health problems. Although polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) are generally considered as highly oxidizable, those of the n-3 series can ...

Fungal Antimicrobial Resistance: Mechanisms, Drivers, and Global Clinical Burden
ChemFoodChem, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Fungal antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is a growing concern for world health caused by an increase in multidrug‐resistant infections, an increase in environmental reservoirs, and the ineffectiveness of current antifungal treatments. Fungal infections continue to be largely excluded from AMR initiatives while causing over 1.6 million deaths ...

Debneyol decoded: A metabolic organizer powers broad‐spectrum plant defense
New Plant Protection, EarlyView.Abstract A new Cell study by Wang et al. resolves the long‐elusive biosynthesis and regulation of debneyol, a fungicidal sesquiterpenoid phytoalexin in Solanaceae. The authors define the complete three‐step route from farnesyl pyrophosphate to debneyol and identify the small protein MCD1 as a metabolic organizer that assembles a multienzyme complex to ...

CD36‐mediated lipid rewiring in the metabolic adaptation of tumour ecosystems
The FEBS Journal, EarlyView.Nutrient deprivation drives a lipid‐centric shift in tumour metabolic symbiosis and signalling network. CD36 functions as a bidirectional bridge, transferring fatty acids from stromal donors (adipocytes, CAFs) to the ecosystem tumour‐ and microenvironment‐dependently.

Evolution‐Inspired Engineering of Diterpene Biosynthesis via Chloroplast Genome Modification
Plant Biotechnology Journal, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Terpenes constitute the largest and most structurally diverse class of plant secondary metabolites, with critical roles in plant‐environment interactions and broad industrial applications. Although nuclear genome engineering of terpene pathways has been extensively explored, chloroplast genome engineering remains largely undeveloped, with all ...

MedComm – Oncology, Volume 5, Issue 3, September 2026.Ferroptosis is governed by the balance between reactive oxygen species (ROS)‐driven lipid peroxidation and a multi‐tiered antioxidant network. ROS sources include mitochondrial electron transport chain, voltage‐dependent anion channels, NADPH oxidases, and endoplasmic reticulum‐resident oxidoreductases, while antioxidant defenses span the primary GSH ...
