Cloning and characterization of novel methylsalicylic acid synthase gene involved in the biosynthesis of isoasperlactone and asperlactone in Aspergillus westerdijkiae [PDF]

open access: yes, 2009
Aspergillus westerdijkiae is the main producer of several biologically active polyketide metabolites including isoasperlactone and asperlactone. A 5298 bp polyketide synthase gene ‘‘aomsas” has been cloned in Aspergillus westerdijkiae by using gene ...

A new type of Na+-driven ATP synthase membrane rotor with a two-carboxylate ion-coupling motif [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
: The anaerobic bacterium Fusobacterium nucleatum uses glutamate decarboxylation to generate a transmembrane gradient of Na+. Here, we demonstrate that this ion-motive force is directly coupled to ATP synthesis, via an F1Fo-ATP synthase with a novel Na ...

Chalcone and Stilbene Synthases Expressed in Eucaryotes Exhibit Reduced Cross-Reactivity in Vitro.

open access: yesChemical and Pharmaceutical Bulletin, 2000
Chalcone synthase (CHS) and stilbene synthase (STS) catalyze different cyclization reactions of the common tetraketide to give different products, naringenin chalcone and resveratrol, respectively. We have previously observed in vitro cross-reaction of CHS and STS overexpressed in Escherichia coli, resveratrol production by CHS and chalcone production ...

Stilbene and Chalcone Synthases: Related Enzymes with Key Functions in Plant-Specific Pathways

open access: yesZeitschrift für Naturforschung C, 1990
Several years of extensive research using the new powerful techniques of molecular biology have enabled the direct comparison of functionally or evolutionarily related genes and their products at the nucleotide and aminoacid sequence levels. Two types of synthase with similar functions are discussed as an interesting example.

Inhibitory Effects of Resveratrol and Piceid against Pathogens of Rice Plant, and Disease Resistance Assay of Transgenic Rice Plant Transformed with Stilbene Synthase Gene

open access: yes, 2013
Resvestrol has been known to inhibit bacterial and fungal growth in vitro, and can be accumulated in plant to concentrations necessary to inhibit microbial pathogens. Hence, stilbene synthase gene has been used to transform to synthesize resveratrol in
