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.

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,

Novel Type III Polyketide Synthases Biosynthesize Methylated Polyketides in Mycobacterium marinum [PDF]

Scientific Reports, 2018
AbstractMycobacterial pathogenesis is hallmarked by lipidic polyketides that decorate the cell envelope and mediate infection. However, factors mediating persistence remain largely unknown. Dynamic cell wall remodeling could facilitate the different pathogenic phases.

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

A novel class of plant type III polyketide synthase involved in orsellinic acid biosynthesis from Rhododendron dauricum

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2016
Rhododendron dauricum L. produces daurichromenic acid, the anti-HIV meroterpenoid consisting of sesquiterpene and orsellinic acid moieties. To characterize the enzyme responsible for orsellinic acid biosynthesis, a cDNA encoding a novel polyketide ...

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 ...

Reprogramming of the Aurantinin Polyketide Assembly Line to Synthesize Auritriacids by Excising an Atypical Enoyl‐CoA Hydratase Domain

Advanced Science
Modular polyketide synthases (PKSs) are capable of synthesizing diverse natural products with fascinating bioactivities. Canonical enoyl‐CoA hydratases (ECHs) are components of the β‐branching cassette that modifies the polyketide chain by adding a β ...
