Pretubulysin: from hypothetical biosynthetic intermediate to potential lead in tumor therapy. [PDF]
Pretubulysin is a natural product that is found in strains of myxobacteria in only minute amounts. It represents the first enzyme-free intermediate in the biosynthesis of tubulysins and undergoes post-assembly acylation and oxidation reactions ...

Studies on a strain of Kitasatospora sp. paclitaxel producer [PDF]
The strain P&U 22869, which produces paclitaxel and related taxanes, discovered during the course of endophytic actinomycetes screening on Taxus baccata plants, was classified as Kitasatospora sp.

Should I stay or should I go? The fight or flight defense responses in Taxus cell culture [PDF]
Taxus culture is the current system to commercially produce paclitaxel, a highly potent and valuable chemotherapeutic drug, although paclitaxel biosynthesis and other cellular processes within Taxus remain largely elusive.

Biotransormations with plant coenzyme A-dependent acyltransferases [PDF]
The acylation of plant natural products is widely observed in nature and this modification often confers novel bioactivities. In nature, each of these acylations is selectively catalysed by a coenzyme A-dependent acyltransferase and biotransformations ...

Paclitaxel transporter characterization [PDF]
Paclitaxel is a valuable chemotherapeutic compound naturally produced by Taxus species, but its commercial production in plant cell culture systems remains limited by poor secretion efficiency.
Bray, Aili

Background The genus Taxus (yew) is the sole producer of the paclitaxel with anticancer properties. The rising demand for plant-derived medicines has led to the overexploitation of various species and ecosystem degradation, which is further worsened by ...
