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.

Latex-specific transcriptome analysis reveals mechanisms for latex metabolism and natural rubber biosynthesis in laticifers of Hevea brasiliensis

Industrial Crops and Products, 2021
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 ...

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,

Regulation of Natural Rubber Biosynthesis by Proteins Associated with Rubber Particles

Russian Journal of Bioorganic Chemistry, 2018
Natural 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.

Silencing the lettuce homologs of small rubber particle protein does not influence natural rubber biosynthesis in lettuce (Lactuca sativa)

Phytochemistry, 2015
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

Subcellular proteome profiles of different latex fractions revealed washed solutions from rubber particles contain crucial enzymes for natural rubber biosynthesis

Journal of Proteomics, 2018
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.

Insights from natural rubber biosynthesis evolution for pathway engineering

Trends in Plant Science
Natural 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, 2013
Rubber 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-

CRISPR-Cas9 enabled molecular genetic studies of natural rubber biosynthesis in lettuce

2022
Natural rubber (NR) is an industrially essential biopolymer due to its irreplicable properties. To date the only necessary components identified for NR biosynthesis are two membrane-bound proteins, cis-prenyltransferase (CPT) and CPT binding protein (CBP) that form a complex in which CPT catalyzes the addition of isopentyl pyrophosphate (IPP) subunits ...
