Chemistry of a Unique Polyketide-like Synthase [PDF]

Journal of the American Chemical Society, 2018
Like many complex natural products, the intricate architecture of saxitoxin (STX) has hindered full exploration of this scaffold's utility as a tool for studying voltage-gated sodium ion channels and as a pharmaceutical agent. Established chemical strategies can provide access to the natural product; however, a chemoenzymatic route to saxitoxin that ...

Assessing and harnessing updated polyketide synthase modules through combinatorial engineering

Nature Communications
The modular nature of polyketide assembly lines and the significance of their products make them prime targets for combinatorial engineering. The recently updated module boundary has been successful for engineering short synthases, yet larger synthases ...

Incidence Trends of Early‐Onset Colorectal Cancer in Germany: A Registry‐Based Study From 2003 to 2023

International Journal of Cancer, EarlyView.
The evidence on the rising incidence of colorectal cancer among adults below 50 years of age largely stems from the United States. Using high‐quality cancer registry data for the 2003–2023 period in Germany, this study found a moderate increase of early‐onset colorectal cancer incidence that was limited to those aged 20–39 years and more pronounced ...

Polyketides, Toxins and Pigments in Penicillium marneffei

Toxins, 2015
Penicillium marneffei (synonym: Talaromyces marneffei) is the most important pathogenic thermally dimorphic fungus in China and Southeastern Asia. The HIV/AIDS pandemic, particularly in China and other Southeast Asian countries, has led to the emergence ...

The plant microbiome: From ecological foundations to precision microbial engineering for sustainable agriculture

iMeta, EarlyView.
From ecological principles to precision engineering of plant microbiomes for sustainable agriculture. The plant holobiont integrates diverse microbial niches (including rhizosphere, endosphere, phyllosphere, seed, and aerial‐root mucilagesphere), host genetics (namely M genes), and host metabolites. Furthermore, molecular dialogues, including rhizobial

Metabolic feature profiling and metabolic vulnerability in acute lymphoblastic leukemia

Interdisciplinary Medicine, EarlyView.
For the first time, our study develops a novel metabolic classification and subtyping program, metabolic reprogramming‐based classifier for acute lymphoblastic leukemia, using internal PDT‐ALL‐2016 and external cohorts, which dissects metabolic profiling, clinical outcome, and therapeutic vulnerability for precision metabolic intervention in ALL ...

Binuclear Copper‐Dependent Oxidative Enzymes Involved in Fungal Natural Product Modifications

Journal of the Chinese Chemical Society, EarlyView.
This article summarizes recent biochemical characterizations of a new enzyme family named by the authors as binuclear copper‐dependent oxidative enzymes (BiNCOs). Found in fungal natural product biosynthesis, BiNCOs catalyze diverse CH functionalization reactions, including C(sp3)H halogenation, C(sp3)H hydroxylation, C(sp3)O macrocyclization, and ...

First genome sequence of a European Alternaria brassicae isolate and genes involved in early development of alternaria leaf spot on Brassica juncea

Pest Management Science, EarlyView.
This article reports the first genome sequence of a UK Alternaria brassicae isolate. Dual RNA‐sequencing profiling of A. brassicae‐infected Brassica juncea leaves identified differentially expressed genes involved in pathogenicity and host response pathways in moderately resistant Sej‐2 (2) and moderately susceptible Pusa Jaikisan cultivars.

Evolutionary Implications of Bacterial Polyketide Synthases [PDF]

Molecular Biology and Evolution, 2005
Polyketide synthases (PKS) perform a stepwise biosynthesis of diverse carbon skeletons from simple activated carboxylic acid units. The products of the complex pathways possess a wide range of pharmaceutical properties, including antibiotic, antitumor, antifungal, and immunosuppressive activities. We have performed a comprehensive phylogenetic analysis

Microbiome‐mediated chemical communication in insects: Implications for pest management

Pest Management Science, EarlyView.
Microbiome–semiochemical interactions involve the following processes: direct microbial synthesis, host gene regulation, precursor biotransformation, microbiome modulation and indirect ecological signaling. Abstract Insects rely on semiochemicals to regulate aggregation, mating, foraging, and host selection. This review synthesizes evidence that insect‐
