Virtual Screening, Molecular Docking and Dynamic Simulation of Shikimate Kinase from Mycobacterium Tuberculosis Using in Silico Approach

, 2020
Shikimate kinase (SK) is an enzyme that catalyzes the fifth steps in the shikimate pathway. The enzyme facilitate the transfer of phosphoryl from ATP to shikimate, to produce ADP and shikimate-3-phosphate from Mycobacterium tuberculosis (MTB).

Traversing the effects of ploidy changes in different Eragrostis curvula genotypes through high‐throughput RNA sequencing

The Plant Genome, Volume 19, Issue 2, June 2026.
Abstract Polyploidization has played a key role in plant genome evolution. Eragrostis curvula (Schrad.) Ness, a perennial forage grass species of the Poaceae family, is an excellent model for investigating genome duplication due to its natural variation in ploidy levels.

4-Coumarate 3-hydroxylase in the lignin biosynthesis pathway is a cytosolic ascorbate peroxidase

Nature Communications, 2019
Lignin biosynthesis in higher plants relies upon a 3-hydroxylation reaction that can occur via shikimate esters of 4-coumarate. Here, Barros et al. define an alternative biosynthetic pathway via cytosolic ascorbate peroxidase that can catalyze direct 3 ...

Association mapping for hop cone chemistry and morphology identifies natural beneficial allele stacks

The Plant Genome, Volume 19, Issue 2, June 2026.
Abstract Efforts are underway to increase the efficiency and precision of selection hop (Humulus lupulus L.) breeding using genomics. Little is known, however, about the genetic control of important traits like α‐and β‐acids contents, oil content, and cone morphological characteristics, all of which play an important role in determining the utility and

Twists and turns: a tale of two shikimate-pathway enzymes

Biochemical Society Transactions, 2003
We are studying two enzymes from the shikimate pathway, dehydroquinate synthase (DHQS) and 5-enolpyruvylshikimate-3-phosphate synthase (EPSPS). Both enzymes have been the subject of numerous studies to elucidate their reaction mechanisms. Crystal structures of DHQS and EPSPS in the presence and absence of substrates, cofactors and/or inhibitors are now

Genome‐wide analysis of the AP2/ERF gene family in Rheum officinale Baill.: Evolution and expression profiling during plant development, abiotic stresses, and exogenous hormone responses

The Plant Genome, Volume 19, Issue 2, June 2026.
Abstract The APETALA2/ethylene‐responsive factor (AP2/ERF) superfamily plays a central role in plant metabolism, stress responses, and hormone signaling. Rheum officinale Baill. is an important traditional medicinal plant whose roots and rhizomes are rich in anthraquinones and other secondary metabolites.

The Shikimate Pathway: Early Steps in the Biosynthesis of Aromatic Compounds. [PDF]

The Plant Cell, 1995
The shikimate pathway was discovered as the biosynthetic route to the aromatic amino acids phenylalanine, tyrosine, and tryptophan through the classic studies of Bernhard Davis and David Sprinson and their collaborators. This pathway has been found only in microorganisms and plants. Phenylalanine and tryptophan are essential components of animal diets,

ARF6 integrates auxin and gibberellin signaling to promote stone cell lignification in pear via the HB49‐MYB169 module

New Phytologist, Volume 250, Issue 6, Page 3747-3768, June 2026.
Summary Stone cells originate from secondary cell wall thickening and contain abundant lignin. Their excessive accumulation compromises pear fruit quality, yet the endogenous hormonal mechanisms governing stone cell formation remain unclear. Here, co‐expression network analysis using transcriptome data – the flesh of 206 sand pear accessions sampled at

PPT1‐mediated plastidic phosphoenolpyruvate import enhances fatty acid biosynthesis in sugar‐rich tissues

New Phytologist, Volume 250, Issue 6, Page 3900-3913, June 2026.
Summary Metabolic engineering of vegetative tissues for lipid production holds transformative potential for sustainable biofuels, yet achieving sufficient yields remains challenging. Here, we present a strategy to enhance fatty acid synthesis by redirecting cytosolic phosphoenolpyruvate (PEP) into plastids through overexpression of the plastidial ...
