Abstract:
:A cDNA encoding a novel plant type III polyketide synthase (PKS) was cloned from rhubarb (Rheum palmatum). A recombinant enzyme expressed in Escherichia coli accepted acetyl-CoA as a starter, carried out six successive condensations with malonyl-CoA and subsequent cyclization to yield an aromatic heptaketide, aloesone. The enzyme shares 60% amino acid sequence identity with chalcone synthases (CHSs), and maintains almost identical CoA binding site and catalytic residues conserved in the CHS superfamily enzymes. Further, homology modeling predicted that the 43-kDa protein has the same overall fold as CHS. This provides new insights into the catalytic functions of type III PKSs, and suggests further involvement in the biosynthesis of plant polyketides.

FEBS LETTERS文献大全abstract::HIV gp120 is specifically cleaved at a single site in the V3 loop between Arg315 and Ala316 by thrombin. Previous observations by others have indicated that binding to CD4 enhances the rate of V3 loop cleavage, and that this cleavage is a prerequisite for HIV infection. Other observations also suggest that the cleavag...
