Journal ArticleDOI
Cloning and characterization of AabHLH1, a bHLH transcription factor that positively regulates artemisinin biosynthesis in Artemisia annua
Yunpeng Ji,Jingwei Xiao,Yalin Shen,Dongming Ma,Zhen-Qiu Li,Gaobin Pu,Xing Li,Lili Huang,Benye Liu,Hechun Ye,Hong Wang +10 more
TL;DR: Biochemical analysis demonstrated that the AabHLH1 protein was capable of binding to the E-box cis-elements, present in both ADS and CYP71AV1 promoters, and possessed transactivation activity in yeast, suggesting that Aab HLH1 can positively regulate the biosynthesis of artemisinin.
Journal ArticleDOI
Biochemical characterization and identification of a cinnamyl alcohol dehydrogenase from Artemisia annua
Xing Li,Dongming Ma,Jianlin Chen,Gaobin Pu,Yunpeng Ji,Caiyan Lei,Zhigao Du,Benye Liu,Hechun Ye,Hong Wang +9 more
TL;DR: Functional and enzymatic assays showed that the recombinant enzyme was able to reversibly reduce a variety of common CADs substrates, namely geranial, cinnamyl aldehyde, sinapyl aldhyde, coniferyl aldehydes, and a sesquiterpenoid artemisinic aldechemical respectively.
Journal ArticleDOI
Two type III polyketide synthases from Polygonum cuspidatum: gene structure, evolutionary route and metabolites
Yanwu Guo,Hui-Li Guo,Hui-Li Guo,Xing Li,Lili Huang,Bo-Ning Zhang,Xiaobin Pang,Benye Liu,Lanqing Ma,Hong Wang +9 more
TL;DR: To the knowledge, PcPKS5 is the first reported three-intron STS gene in flowering plants, and it is speculated that this involved a possible evolutionary route of plant-specific type III PKS superfamily in P. cuspidatum.
Journal ArticleDOI
Overexpression of a type-I isopentenyl pyrophosphate isomerase of Artemisia annua in the cytosol leads to high arteannuin B production and artemisinin increase.
Dongming Ma,Dongming Ma,Gui Li,Fatima Alejos-Gonzalez,Yue Zhu,Zhen Xue,Aimin Wang,Hui Zhang,Xing Li,Hechun Ye,Hong Wang,Benye Liu,De-Yu Xie +12 more
TL;DR: Evidence is provided that overexpression of AaIPPI1 in the cytosol can lead to metabolic alterations of terpenoid biosynthesis, and it is shown that transgenic plants have the potential to yield high production levels of arteannuin B as a new precursor source for artemisinin.
Journal Article
Transformation of wheat protoplasts mediated by cationic liposome and regeneration of transgenic plantlets
TL;DR: E. coli plasmid pCGN1055 containing the hygromycin phosphotransferase (Hpt) gene under the control of the plant promoter was introduced into wheat protoplasts by cationic liposome (lipofectin)-mediated transformation, and transgenic albino plantlets were obtained.
