Deciphering the biosynthetic pathways of lichen acids

New Phytologist, EarlyView.
Summary Depsides and depsidones are polyketide‐derived lichen acids widely distributed in lichen thalli, yet the biosynthetic gene clusters (BGCs) responsible for their production remain poorly understood. To address this gap, we investigated the diversity and evolutionary relationships of polyketide BGCs in lichens.

Recombinatorial biosynthesis of polyketides

Journal of Industrial Microbiology and Biotechnology, 2012
Abstract Modular polyketide synthases (PKSs) from Streptomyces and related genera of bacteria produce many important pharmaceuticals. A program called CompGen was developed to carry out in silico homologous recombination between gene clusters encoding PKSs and determine whether recombinants have cluster architectures compatible with the ...

Equipped for success: genomes and metabolomes of the European Amanita muscaria are conserved in its novel South African range

New Phytologist, EarlyView.
Summary Plants and soils have been moved around the world for centuries, but invasive mushrooms receive scant attention. The Amanita muscaria species complex was introduced to South Africa in the context of forestry, but its origins, ecology and recent evolution are unstudied. We sequenced the genomes of 24 Northern and Southern Hemisphere A. muscaria,

TaRIP2 Positively Regulates Wheat Pollen Wall Formation Through MYB80‐Controlled Lipid Metabolism

Plant Biotechnology Journal, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Male‐sterile genes and mutants are critical for hybrid seed production in monocotyledonous crops. Lipids are essential structural components of male reproductive organs, such as the anther and pollen. Here, we show that the pollen‐preferential gene TaRIP2 is essential for wheat anther development and pollen formation. RT‐qPCR analysis revealed

Cleaning up Polyketide Synthases

Chemistry & Biology, 2012
Complex biosynthetic enzymes such as polyketide synthases make mistakes. In this issue of Chemistry & Biology, Jensen et al. report that a discrete family of acyltransferases is responsible for error correction, hydrolyzing key biosynthetic intermediates from a multi-enzyme complex. This activity might find use in understanding polyketide biosynthesis,

Engineered transfer of the PKS/NRPS biosynthesis pathway of albicidin: A promising approach to overproduce this potent antibiotic [PDF]

, 2006
Xanthomonas albilineans, which causes leaf scald disease of sugarcane, produces a highly potent pathotoxin and antibiotic called albicidin that was shown to inhibit DNA replication in both sugarcane proplastids and Escherichia coli.

OsMT2b Regulates Pollen Development and ROS Homeostasis in a Photoperiod‐Dependent Manner

Plant Biotechnology Journal, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Reactive oxygen species (ROS) are signalling molecules that promote programmed cell death in animal and plant systems. However, their role in rice (Oryza sativa L.) anther development is unclear. In this study, we show that lower transcript levels of the metallothionein gene OsMT2b in japonica rice plants obtained by RNA interference (RNAi ...
