Distinct evolutionary strategies in the GGPPS family from plants
Frontiers in Plant Science, 2014 Multiple geranylgeranyl diphosphate synthases (GGPPS) for biosynthesis of geranylgeranyl diphosphate (GGPP) exist in plants. GGPP is produced in the isoprenoid pathway and is a central precursor for various primary and specialized plant metabolites ...

The FEBS Journal, EarlyView.Some prenylated flavin mononucleotide (prFMN) synthases exceptionally prefer dimethylallyl phosphate (DMAP) over dimethylallyl diphosphate (DMAPP), which is a common prenyl donor substrate for many prenyltransferases. Structural and mutagenic analyses of Methanosarcina mazei prFMN synthase, which prefers DMAP but can also accept DMAPP, elucidated its ...

Genome-Wide Association Study and Pathway-Level Analysis of Kernel Color in Maize
G3: Genes, Genomes, Genetics, 2019 Rapid development and adoption of biofortified, provitamin A-dense orange maize (Zea mays L.) varieties could be facilitated by a greater understanding of the natural variation underlying kernel color, including as it relates to carotenoid biosynthesis ...

UbiB proteins mediate an ATP‐dependent decarboxylation step in bacterial ubiquinone biosynthesis
The FEBS Journal, EarlyView.UbiB proteins are atypical protein kinase‐like enzymes essential for ubiquinone biosynthesis. Here, we demonstrate that bacterial UbiB proteins catalyze the O2‐dependent decarboxylation of ubiquinone precursors, a process linked to their ATPase activity.

Advances in Cytosolic dsRNA Sensing of Viral Infections
Immunology &Cell Biology, EarlyView.Activation of cytosolic dsRNA sensors by viral infection generates multiple outcomes. dsRNA generated during viral infection, either of viral origin or from endogenous sources, can activate multiple cytosolic dsRNA sensors. Activation of PKR critically induces protein translation shutdown via phosphorylation of eukaryotic translation initiation factor ...

The biosynthesis and regulation of isoprenoids
浙江大学学报. 农业与生命科学版, 2002 Isoprenoids constitute a chemically diverse family of naturally occurring compounds with a common structural five-carbon unit, the isoprene. This review presents the biosynthetic pathway of isoprenoids and the primary enzymes incolued. The current researches on nelevant genes and regulation of their actions are also conversed.

Light signaling controls chloroplast pyruvate metabolism through the STF1/2–PKP1 module in soybean
Journal of Integrative Plant Biology, EarlyView.In soybean, light‐responsive proteins switch on GmPKP1, which boosts chloroplast pyruvate production. This increases pigments, photosynthesis, seed oil, pod number, and yield, revealing a new way that light boosts crop productivity. ABSTRACT Light signaling coordinates plant development with metabolism, but the link between photoreceptors and ...
