Regulation of Natural Rubber Biosynthesis by Proteins Associated with Rubber Particles
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.

Molecular Genetic Analysis of Natural Rubber Biosynthesis
Russian Journal of Plant Physiology, 2021Natural 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.

NATURAL RUBBER BIOSYNTHESIS: STILL A MYSTERY
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,

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.

CHAPTER 2. Natural Rubber: Biosynthesis, Structure, Properties and Application
Rubber 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 ...

The Biosynthesis of Natural Rubber
Journal of Plant Physiology, 1990Summary 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 ...

A rubber transferase activator is necessary for natural rubber biosynthesis in dandelion
High-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.
