The isoprenoid-precursor dependence of Plasmodium spp. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
Due to the increase in resistance of Plasmodium spp. against available antimalarials, there is a need for new, effective and innovative drugs. The non-mevalonate pathway for the biosynthesis of the universal isoprenoid precursors, which is absent in ...

Engineering metabolic pathways in Amycolatopsis japonicum for the optimization of the precursor supply for heterologous brasilicardin congeners production

open access: yesSynthetic and Systems Biotechnology, 2018
The isoprenoid brasilicardin A is a promising immunosuppressant compound with a unique mode of action, high potency and reduced toxicity compared to today's standard drugs.

Enzymatic Prenylation of Proteins and Peptides: From Cysteine S‐Prenylation to Tryptophan‐Selective Biocatalysis

open access: yesChemistry – A European Journal, Volume 32, Issue 24, 23 June 2026.
This review highlights biocatalytic prenylation as a versatile strategy for tailoring the functional properties of peptides and proteins. By comparing branched isoprenoids with linear lipids, we illustrate how specific prenyl architectures modulate the behaviors of lipidated proteins within membrane environments.

Targeting of Staphyloxanthin and α‐Hemolysin by Natural Compound L‐Malic Acid Suppresses Staphylococcus aureus Virulence

open access: yesThe FASEB Journal, Volume 40, Issue 11, 15 June 2026.
L‐malic acid, a natural TCA cycle intermediate, attenuates the virulence of Staphylococcus aureus through dual metabolic and regulatory mechanisms. It redirects central carbon flux away from the mevalonate pathway and inhibits the key enzyme CrtO, suppressing staphyloxanthin biosynthesis and impairing bacterial resistance to oxidative stress ...

The Biosynthesis of Isoprenoids and the Mechanisms Regulating It in Plants

open access: yesBioscience, Biotechnology, and Biochemistry, 2011
Plants synthesize isopentenyl diphosphate (IPP) via the mevalonate pathway and the methylerythritol phosphate (MEP) pathway. IPP is condensed to its allylic isomer, dimethylallyl diphosphate, to yield geranylgeranyl diphosphate, a common precursor for the production of cyclic diterpenoids.

Comparative analysis of the biosynthesis of isoprenoid and aromatic cytokinins

open access: yesДоклады Академии наук, 2019
To compare the biosynthesis pathways of aromatic and isoprenoid cytokinins, a series of nucleoside derivatives of natural cytokinins was synthesized and their cytokinin activity was determined in a test system based on the model plant Arabidopsis thaliana. Cytokinin nucleosides are known to lack the hormonal activity until cleaving the ribose moiety at

A methionine‐lined active site governs carbocation stabilization and product specificity in a bacterial terpene synthase

open access: yesFEBS Letters, Volume 600, Issue 11, Page 1621-1637, June 2026.
This study reveals a unique active site enriched in methionine residues and demonstrates that these residues play a critical role by stabilizing carbocation intermediates through novel sulfur–cation interactions. Structure‐guided mutagenesis further revealed variants with significantly altered product profiles, enhancing pseudopterosin formation. These

Identification and biosynthesis of a novel xanthomonadin-dialkylresorcinol-hybrid from Azoarcus sp. BH72.

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2014
A novel xanthomonadin-dialkylresorcinol hybrid named arcuflavin was identified in Azoarcus sp. BH72 by a combination of feeding experiments, HPLC-MS and MALDI-MS and gene clusters encoding the biosynthesis of this non-isoprenoid aryl-polyene containing ...
