Salicylic Acid-Responsive Factor TcWRKY33 Positively Regulates Taxol Biosynthesis in Taxus chinensis in Direct and Indirect Ways

open access: yesFrontiers in Plant Science, 2021
Taxol is a rare secondary metabolite that accumulates considerably in Taxus species under salicylic acid (SA) and methyl jasmonate treatment. However, the molecular mechanism of its accumulation remains unclear.

TcMYB29a, An ABA-Responsive R2R3-MYB Transcriptional Factor, Upregulates Taxol Biosynthesis in Taxus chinensis

open access: yesFrontiers in Plant Science, 2022
Paclitaxel (Taxol), a highly modified diterpene agent mainly obtained from Taxus species, is the most widely used anticancer drug. Abscisic acid (ABA) is a well-known stress hormone that plays important roles in the secondary metabolism of plants, and it

Conjugation of Aspergillus flavipes Taxol with Porphyrin Increases the Anticancer Activity of Taxol and Ameliorates Its Cytotoxic Effects

open access: yesMolecules, 2020
Taxol is one of the potential anticancer drugs; however, the yield of Taxol and its cytotoxicity are common challenges. Thus, manipulating the Taxol biosynthetic pathway from endophytic fungi, in addition to chemical modification with biocompatible ...

A molecular approach to taxol biosynthesis [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
Secondary metabolism in plants produces numerous compounds with wide-ranging activities, including the antineoplastic compound taxol and related taxanes. The biotechnological production of taxol has so far been based on empirical studies. The aim of the present work has been to study how the factors that enhance taxane production affect the metabolic ...

Transcriptome analysis of a taxol-producing endophytic fungus Cladosporium cladosporioides MD2

open access: yesAMB Express, 2018
The shortage of molecular information for taxol-producing fungi has greatly impeded the understanding of fungal taxol biosynthesis mechanism. In this study, the transcriptome of one taxol-producing endophytic fungus Cladosporium cladosporioides MD2 was ...

Transcriptome analyses provide insights into the expression pattern and sequence similarity of several taxol biosynthesis-related genes in three Taxus species

open access: yesBMC Plant Biology, 2019
Background Taxol is an efficient anticancer drug; however, the accumulation of taxoids can vary hugely among Taxus species. The mechanism underlying differential accumulation of taxoids is largely unknown. Thus, comparative analysis of the transcriptomes

TcMYC2a, a Basic Helix–Loop–Helix Transcription Factor, Transduces JA-Signals and Regulates Taxol Biosynthesis in Taxus chinensis [PDF]

open access: yesFrontiers in Plant Science, 2018
The multitherapeutic taxol, which can be obtained from Taxus spp., is the most widely used anticancer drug. Taxol biosynthesis is significantly regulated by jasmonate acid (JA), one of the most important endogenous hormones in land plants.

Darkness: A Crucial Factor in Fungal Taxol Production

open access: yesFrontiers in Microbiology, 2018
Fungal Taxol acquired lots of attention in the last few decades mainly because of the hope that fungi could be manipulated more easily than yew trees to scale up the production level of this valuable anticancer drug.

Ecophysiological approaches to enhance production of the anti-cancer drug taxol by paraconiothyrium variabile and epiccocum nigrum and lysozyme by pichia pastoris [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
This study has investigated the interaction of ecophysiological factors such as water activity (aw), temperature, pH and solute types on (a) the production of the anti-cancer drug taxol by the endophytic fungi Parachoniothyrium variabile and Epcoccum ...
