Investigations of the Evolved Molecular Basis for Terpenoid Biosynthesis in Marine Sponges. [PDF]
Adv Sci (Weinh)Confirming and extending a previous observation in another Bubarida sponge, genomic and functional analyses of A. cavernosa reveal that sponges retain the mevalonate pathway and employ single α‐domain T1TSs and UbiA‐type TSs for terpenoid biosynthesis. The absence of T1TSs clustering with other biosynthetic genes tentatively suggests, based on limited ...
