Molecular Mechanisms of Natural Rubber Biosynthesis

Annual Review of Biochemistry, 2020
Natural rubber (NR), principally comprising cis -1,4-polyisoprene, is an industrially important natural hydrocarbon polymer because of its unique physical properties, which render it suitable for manufacturing items such as tires.

The Biosynthesis of Natural Rubber

Journal of Plant Physiology, 1990
Summary The biosynthesis of natural rubber, Z-polyisoprene, is reviewed in the light of the recent elucidation of its detailed chemical structure. Natural rubber is homologous with a group of the polyprenols. The identity of the putative rubber transferase isolated from Hevea latex serum and guayule tissue as well as the published assay for rubber ...

Natural rubber biosynthesis—A living carbocationic polymerization?

Progress in Polymer Science, 2006
Abstracts An exhaustive in-depth review of the biochemical literature concerning the biosynthesis of polyisoprenes, including natural rubber (NR, cis -1,4-polyisoprene c PIP) by rubber-producing plants, and the polymer chemical literature on biomimetic and related syntheses, leads us to postulate that the biosynthesis of polyisoprenoids in general ...

14-3-3 Proteins Participate in Regulation of Natural Rubber Biosynthesis in Hevea brasiliensis

open access: yesForests, 2023
Plant 14-3-3 proteins mediate a wide range of functionally diverse proteins through protein–protein interactions that are typically phosphorylation-dependent. However, the interactions between 14-3-3 proteins and the major regulators of nature rubber (NR) biosynthesis in H. brasiliensis have not been fully elucidated.

Molecular Genetic Analysis of Natural Rubber Biosynthesis

Russian Journal of Plant Physiology, 2021
Natural rubber (cis-1,4-polyisoprene) is an irreplaceable starting material for thousands of products, many of which are absolutely essential, in particular for modern medicine. Rubber is found in the latex of an aqueous emulsion contained in the specialized structures of rubber-producing plants, laticifers.

Quantitation of isoprenoids for natural rubber biosynthesis in natural rubber latex by liquid chromatography with tandem mass spectrometry

Journal of Chromatography A, 2018
The natural rubber molecule is one of the end products of isoprenoids metabolism in the plant. Dimethylallyl diphosphate (DMAPP) and farnesyl pyrophosphate (FPP) are two typical isoprenoids which control the rate of biosynthesis and the molecular weight of natural rubber.

NATURAL RUBBER BIOSYNTHESIS: STILL A MYSTERY

Rubber Chemistry and Technology, 2018
ABSTRACT Currently, Hevea brasiliensis (the Brazilian rubber tree) is the only commercially available source of natural rubber (NR) for use in many products, which vary from tires to medical products such as adhesive bandages. H. brasiliensis NR is used in these products because after vulcanization, superior properties, which include elasticity,
