Journal ArticleDOI

The Electronic Plant Gene Register

TL;DR: The sequences have been beendeposited in GenBank and the articles listed online through the World Wide Web have been listed on GenBank.
Journal ArticleDOI

Beta-amyrin synthase--cloning of oxidosqualene cyclase that catalyzes the formation of the most popular triterpene among higher plants.

TL;DR: The present studies have revealed that distinct OSC exists for triterpene formation in higher plants, and the high level of similarity with cycloartenol synthase indicates close evolutional relationship between sterol and triterPene biosynthesis.
Journal ArticleDOI

A new pathway for polyketide synthesis in microorganisms

TL;DR: It is shown that a homodimer of RppA catalyses polyketide synthesis: it selects malonyl-coenzyme-A as the starter, carries out four successive extensions and releases the resulting pentaketide to cyclize to 1,3,6,8-tetrahydroxynaphthalene (THN).
Journal ArticleDOI

Identification of Claisen cyclase domain in fungal polyketide synthase WA, a naphthopyrone synthase of Aspergillus nidulans.

TL;DR: Since the C-terminus region of WA PKS of this type was determined to be involved in Claisen-type cyclization of the second ring of naphthopyrone, it is proposed that the so far called TE of these PKSs work not just as TE but as Claisen cyclase.
Journal ArticleDOI

Dammarenediol-II synthase, the first dedicated enzyme for ginsenoside biosynthesis, in Panax ginseng

TL;DR: In this paper, a new OSC gene (named as PNA) was expressed in a lanosterol synthase deficient (erg7) Saccharomyces cerevisiae strain GIL77.
