Regulation of Natural Rubber Biosynthesis by Proteins Associated with Rubber Particles
Russian Journal of Bioorganic Chemistry, 2018Natural rubber, cis-1,4-polyisoprene, is an essential raw material used in thousands of products, many of which are absolutely necessary for medical purposes. Natural rubber is obtained from latex, an aqueous emulsion present in the laticiferous vessels of the natural rubber-producing plants.

NATURAL RUBBER BIOSYNTHESIS: STILL A MYSTERY
Rubber Chemistry and Technology, 2018ABSTRACT Currently, Hevea brasiliensis (the Brazilian rubber tree) is the only commercially available source of natural rubber (NR) for use in many products, which vary from tires to medical products such as adhesive bandages. H. brasiliensis NR is used in these products because after vulcanization, superior properties, which include elasticity,

A Mathematical Model of Rubber Biosynthesis
Computational Mathematics and Modeling, 2005A mathematical model is developed for the biosynthesis of rubber in plants. The model computes the steady-state concentrations of end products and intermediate metabolites that are present in the metabolic pathway of rubber biosynthesis. A number of different reactions occurring in the rubber-biosynthesis metabolic pathway are examined: an irreversible

Of the major biosynthetic pathways of the plant, that associated with the synthesis of rubber has been among the last to be elucidated. All that we know today concerning isoprenoid biogenesis is information acquired since 1949, much of it since 1956. Today, however, rubber biosynthesis may be considered as a problem solved.

Natural rubber biosynthesis in plants: rubber transferase.
Methods in enzymology, 2013Rubber biosynthesis in plants is a fascinating biochemical system, which evolved at the dawn of the dicotyledoneae and is present in at least four of the dictolydonous superorders. Rubber biosynthesis is catalyzed by a membrane complex in a monolayer membrane envelope, requires two distinct substrates and a divalent cation cofactor, and produces a high-

Initiator-independent and initiator-dependent rubber biosynthesis in Ficus elastica
Archives of Biochemistry and Biophysics, 2006The rubber-producing tree, Ficus elastica (the Indian rubber tree), requires the same substrates for rubber production as other rubber-producing plants, such as Hevea brasiliensis (the Brazilian or Para rubber tree), the major source of commercial natural rubber in the world, and Parthenium argentatum (guayule), a widely studied alternative for natural

The natural rubber molecule is one of the end products of isoprenoids metabolism in the plant. Dimethylallyl diphosphate (DMAPP) and farnesyl pyrophosphate (FPP) are two typical isoprenoids which control the rate of biosynthesis and the molecular weight of natural rubber.

Natural rubber, cis-1,4-polyisoprene, is a vital industrial material synthesized by plants via a side branch of the isoprenoid pathway by the enzyme rubber transferase. While the specific structure of this enzyme is not yet defined, based on activity it is probably a cis-prenyl transferase.

Insights from natural rubber biosynthesis evolution for pathway engineering
Trends in Plant ScienceNatural rubber (NR), valued for its elasticity and impact resistance, is essential for numerous industrial and medical applications, with global demand continuously rising. While approximately 2500 plant species from more than 40 families can produce rubber, the majority is sourced from Hevea brasiliensis grown in tropical regions.
