Molecular Insights of Natural Rubber Biosynthesis-An Approach from Prenyltransferase Gene Analysis
Linear prenyl diphosphates whose carbon chain length varies widely from geranyl diphosphate (C10) to natural rubber (C>105) are biosynthesized by the catalytic function of a group of enzymes called prenyltransferases. Prenyltransferases are classified in two major groups, trans- or (E)-prenyltransferases and cis- or (Z)-prenyltransferases.

Investigating the biosynthesis of natural rubber through the characterisation of rubber associated proteins [PDF]
Natural rubber from the para rubber tree Hevea brasiliensis is one of world’s most important natural resources. Despite its use in the manufacture of a wide range of essential items the mechanisms by which natural rubber is synthesised is poorly understood.\ud \ud Natural rubber is a long chain cis-polyisoprene, composed of units of isopentenyl ...

Species-Specific Expansion and Molecular Evolution of the 3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl Coenzyme A Reductase (HMGR) Gene Family in Plants [PDF]
Kazakh dandelion (Taraxacum kok-saghyz, Tk) is a rubber-producing plant currently being investigated as a source of natural rubber for industrial applications. Like many other isoprenoids, rubber is a downstream product of the mevalonate pathway.

Transcriptome analysis of rubber biosynthesis in guayule (Parthenium argentatum gray)
Background Natural rubber is currently produced nearly exclusively from latex of the Para rubber tree, Hevea brasiliensis. The desire to reduce the environmental cost of rubber production, fears of pathogen susceptibility in clonal Hevea plantations ...

Isoprene oxidation by the gram-negative model bacterium variovorax sp. WS11 [PDF]
Plant-produced isoprene (2-methyl-1,3-butadiene) represents a significant portion of global volatile organic compound production, equaled only by methane.
