Synthetic Biology Identifies the Minimal Gene Set Required for Paclitaxel Biosynthesis in a Plant Chassis [PDF]

open access: yesMolecular Plant, 2023
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

Post-Genomic Illumination of Paclitaxel Biosynthesis

open access: yesNature Plants
Paclitaxel rapidly became one of the most effective anticancer drugs. However, the production of paclitaxel is hindered by substantial challenges, particularly considering the significant quantities of drug required and the inherently low concentration ...

Biosynthesis of paclitaxel using synthetic biology

Phytochemistry Reviews, 2021
Paclitaxel is a tricyclic diterpenoid first isolated from the bark of Taxus brevifolia. It is notably one of the most effective natural anticancer drugs discovered so far, and has been widely used in the treatment of breast, ovarian, lung cancer, as well as other diseases.

Expression Profiling of Genes Involved in Paclitaxel Biosynthesis for Targeted Metabolic Engineering

Metabolic Engineering, 2006
Taxus 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 ...

The History of Studies on Oxetane Ring Formation in Paclitaxel Biosynthesis

ChemBioChem
AbstractThere is no doubt that breakthroughs in the enzyme‐mediated formation of the oxetane ring in paclitaxel biosynthesis constitute significant milestones in the biosynthesis of complex natural products. In this review, we summarize the understanding of the biosynthesis of the oxetane ring of paclitaxel from different viewpoints.

Metabolic Engineering of Taxadiene Biosynthesis in Yeast as a First Step Towards Taxol (Paclitaxel) Production

Metabolic Engineering, 2008
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 ...
