Phytochrome-dependent temperature perception modulates isoprenoid metabolism [PDF]

, 2020
Changes in environmental temperature influence many aspects of plant metabolism; however, the underlying regulatory mechanisms remain poorly understood.

Crystal Structure of Geranylgeranyl Pyrophosphate Synthase (CrtE) Involved in Cyanobacterial Terpenoid Biosynthesis

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2020
Cyanobacteria are photosynthetic prokaryotes that perform oxygenic photosynthesis. Due to their ability to use the photon energy of sunlight to fix carbon dioxide into biomass, cyanobacteria are promising hosts for the sustainable production of ...

Presence of Phylloquinone in the Intraerythrocytic Stages of Plasmodium falciparum

Frontiers in Cellular and Infection Microbiology, 2022
Malaria is one of the most widespread parasitic diseases, especially in Africa, Southeast Asia and South America. One of the greatest problems for control of the disease is the emergence of drug resistance, which leads to a need for the development of ...

Arginine in the FARM and SARM: A Role in Chain-Length Determination for Arginine in the Aspartate-Rich Motifs of Isoprenyl Diphosphate Synthases from Mycobacterium tuberculosis

Molecules, 2018
Isoprenyl chains are found in many important metabolites. These are derived from precursors of the appropriate length produced by isoprenyl diphosphate synthases (IDSs).

Germacrene A Synthases for Sesquiterpene Lactone Biosynthesis Are Expressed in Vascular Parenchyma Cells Neighboring Laticifers in Lettuce

Plants, 2022
Sesquiterpene lactone (STL) and natural rubber (NR) are characteristic isoprenoids in lettuce (Lactuca sativa). Both STL and NR co-accumulate in laticifers, pipe-like structures located along the vasculature.

Role of Cereal Secondary Metabolites Involved in Mediating the Outcome of Plant-Pathogen Interactions

Metabolites, 2011
Cereal crops such as wheat, rice and barley underpin the staple diet for human consumption globally. A multitude of threats to stable and secure yields of these crops exist including from losses caused by pathogens, particularly fungal.

A [4Fe-4S] cluster resides at the active center of phosphomevalonate dehydratase, a key enzyme in the archaeal modified mevalonate pathway

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2023
The recent discovery of the archaeal modified mevalonate pathway revealed that the fundamental units for isoprenoid biosynthesis (isopentenyl diphosphate and dimethylallyl diphosphate) are biosynthesized via a specific intermediate, trans ...

Purification of the CaaX-modified, dynamin-related large GTPase hGBP1 by coexpression with farnesyltransferase[S]

Journal of Lipid Research, 2010
Over a hundred proteins in eukaryotic cells carry a C-terminal CaaX box sequence, which targets them for posttranslational isoprenylation of the cysteine residue.
