Identifying Missing Biosynthesis Enzymes of Plant Natural Products.

Abstract:

:Elucidating plant-specialized biosynthetic pathways has always constituted a laborious task, notably for natural products with high pharmaceutical values. Here, we discuss emerging omics-based strategies that facilitate the identification of genes from these complex metabolic pathways, paving the way to engineered supplies of these compounds through synthetic biology approaches.

  • Three-finger snake neurotoxins and Ly6 proteins targeting nicotinic acetylcholine receptors: pharmacological tools and endogenous modulators.

    abstract::Snake venom neurotoxins and lymphocyte antigen 6 (Ly6) proteins, most of the latter being membrane tethered by a glycosylphosphatidylinositol (GPI) anchor, have a variety of biological activities, but their three-finger (3F) folding combines them in one Ly6/neurotoxin family. Subsets of two groups, represented by α-ne...
