Polyketide Trimming Shapes Dihydroxynaphthalene‐Melanin and Anthraquinone Pigments
Advanced Science, Volume 11, Issue 22, June 12, 2024.Vital Pigment Functions: Anthraquinones and dihydroxynaphthalene‐melanins play roles in cancer therapy or act as virulence factors. Protein crystallography, along with structure‐based mutagenesis and activity assays, provides atomic insights into polyketide trimming, ring formation, and thioester hydrolysis during AQ and DHN‐melanin biosynthesis in ...

Induction of synchronous growth in the yeast phase of Wangiella dermatitidis [PDF]
Journal of Bacteriology, 1980 Synchronous yeast-phase cultures of Wangiella dermatitidis were induced by starvation, heat shock, and inhibition of deoxyribonucleic acid synthesis by hydroxyurea. Hydroxyurea-induced synchrony resulted in some distortion of the yeast-phase cell cycle.

Protocol for Genome-Scale Reconstruction and Melanogenesis Analysis of Exophiala dermatitidis [PDF]
, 2020 Exophiala dermatitidis is a polyextremotolerant fungus with a small genome, thus suitable as a model system for melanogenesis and carotenogensis. A genome-scale model, iEde2091, is reconstructed to increase metabolic understanding and used in a shadow ...
