Abstract Natural rubber, produced in the laticifers of the para rubber tree (Hevea brasiliensis), is a valuable biopolymer of commercial and strategic importance. While the basic pathway of rubber biosynthesis has been established, further understanding of its regulatory mechanisms might be obtained by studying laticifer-specific gene expression ...

A rubber transferase activator is necessary for natural rubber biosynthesis in dandelion
Nature Plants, 2015High-molecular-mass natural rubber is a valuable plant-derived poly(cis-1,4-isoprene) with many industrial and medical applications. It is synthesized by a rubber cis-prenyltransferase (CPT) complex on the surface of rubber particles in specialized latex-producing cells known as laticifers.

Regulation of Natural Rubber Biosynthesis by Proteins Associated with Rubber Particles
Russian Journal of Bioorganic Chemistry, 2018Natural rubber, cis-1,4-polyisoprene, is an essential raw material used in thousands of products, many of which are absolutely necessary for medical purposes. Natural rubber is obtained from latex, an aqueous emulsion present in the laticiferous vessels of the natural rubber-producing plants.

Natural rubber, cis-1,4-polyisoprene, is an important raw material in chemical industries, but its biosynthetic mechanism remains elusive. Natural rubber is known to be synthesized in rubber particles suspended in laticifer cells in the Brazilian rubber tree (Hevea brasiliensis). In the rubber tree, rubber elongation factor (REF) and its homolog, small

Insights from natural rubber biosynthesis evolution for pathway engineering
Trends in Plant ScienceNatural rubber (NR), valued for its elasticity and impact resistance, is essential for numerous industrial and medical applications, with global demand continuously rising. While approximately 2500 plant species from more than 40 families can produce rubber, the majority is sourced from Hevea brasiliensis grown in tropical regions.

Natural rubber biosynthesis in plants: rubber transferase.
Methods in enzymology, 2013Rubber biosynthesis in plants is a fascinating biochemical system, which evolved at the dawn of the dicotyledoneae and is present in at least four of the dictolydonous superorders. Rubber biosynthesis is catalyzed by a membrane complex in a monolayer membrane envelope, requires two distinct substrates and a divalent cation cofactor, and produces a high-

Rubber particle (RP) is a specific organelle for natural rubber biosynthesis (NRB) and storage in rubber tree Hevea brasiliensis. NRB is processed by RP membrane-localized proteins, which were traditionally purified by repeated washing. However, we noticed many proteins in the discarded washing solutions (WS) from RP.

CHAPTER 2. Natural Rubber: Biosynthesis, Structure, Properties and Application
2013Rubber from Hevea brasiliensis, known as natural rubber (NR), contains rubber hydrocarbon and ca. 6% of non-rubber components. The biosynthesis of the NR latex particles takes place in the laticifers of the Hevea rubber tree. Rubber molecule is synthesized by the addition of isopentenyl diphosphate into farnesyl diphosphate, the initiating molecule ...

ABSTRACT The superior properties of natural rubber (cis-1,4-polyisoprene [NR]) are a function of its structure and composition, properties that still remain a mystery and that are irreplaceable by any synthetic rubber. NR from guayule (Parthenium argentatum) has been gaining special interest for its hypoallergenic properties while maintaining ...
