Synthetic Biology Identifies the Minimal Gene Set Required for Paclitaxel Biosynthesis in a Plant Chassis [PDF]
The diterpenoid paclitaxel (Taxol) is a chemotherapy medication widely used as a first-line treatment against several types of solid cancers. The supply of paclitaxel from natural sources is limited. However, missing knowledge about the genes involved in

Expression Profiling of Genes Involved in Paclitaxel Biosynthesis for Targeted Metabolic Engineering
Metabolic Engineering, 2006Taxus plant suspension cell cultures provide a sustainable source of paclitaxel (Taxol) for the treatment of many cancers. To develop an optimal bioprocess for paclitaxel supply, taxane biosynthetic pathway regulation must be better understood. Here we examine the expression profile of paclitaxel biosynthetic pathway genes by RNA gel blot analysis and ...

Metabolic engineering in microbes could be used to produce large amounts of valuable metabolites that are difficult to extract from their natural sources and too expensive or complex to produce by chemical synthesis. As a step towards the production of Taxol in the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae, we introduced heterologous genes encoding biosynthetic ...
