Missing enzymes in the biosynthesis of the anticancer drug vinblastine in Madagascar periwinkle

TL;DR: Two missing enzymes necessary for vinblastine biosynthesis in this plant are identified: an oxidase and a reductase that isomerize stemmadenine acetate into dihydroprecondylocarpine acetates, which is then deacetoxylated and cyclized to either catharanthine or tabersonine via two hydrolases characterized herein.
Journal ArticleDOI

A three enzyme system to generate the Strychnos alkaloid scaffold from a central biosynthetic intermediate

TL;DR: It is shown that the concerted action of two enzymes commonly involved in natural product metabolism—an alcohol dehydrogenase and a cytochrome P450—produces unexpected rearrangements in strictosidine when assayed simultaneously.
Journal ArticleDOI

Dihydrochalcones: Implication in resistance to oxidative stress and bioactivities against advanced glycation end-products and vasoconstriction.

TL;DR: The results strongly argue for the bioactivity of dihydrochalcones as functional antioxidants in the resistance of Malus leaves to oxidative stress and demonstrate for the first time that sieboldin is a powerful multipotent antioxidant, effective in preventing physiopathological processes.
Journal ArticleDOI

Phytochemical genomics of the Madagascar periwinkle: Unravelling the last twists of the alkaloid engine.

TL;DR: Tissue specific library screening, orthology comparison in species with or without MIA-biochemical engines, clustering of gene expression profiles together with various functional validation strategies, largely contributed to enrich the toolbox for plant synthetic biology and metabolic engineering of MIA biosynthesis.
