An environmental bacterial taxon with a large and distinct metabolic repertoire
Cultivated bacteria such as actinomycetes are a highly useful source of biomedically important natural products. However, such ‘talented’ producers represent only a minute fraction of the entire,… Expand
Engineered biosynthesis of plant polyketides: chain length control in an octaketide-producing plant type III polyketide synthase.
The chalcone synthase (CHS) superfamily of type III polyketide synthases (PKSs) produces a variety of plant secondary metabolites with remarkable structural diversity and biological activities (e.g.,… Expand
Benzalacetone synthase. A novel polyketide synthase that plays a crucial role in the biosynthesis of phenylbutanones in Rheum palmatum.
Benzalacetone synthase (BSA) is a novel plant-specific polyketide synthase that catalyzes a one step decarboxylative condensation of 4-coumaroyl-CoA with malonyl-CoA to produce the C6-C4 skeleton of… Expand
The induction of human UDP-glucuronosyltransferase 1A1 mediated through a distal enhancer module by flavonoids and xenobiotics.
We identified the UDP-glucuronosyltransferase (UGT) 1A1 5'-upstream region that confers UGT1A1 induction by various agents, including flavonoids, on a luciferase reporter gene and has the properties… Expand
Structure and Function of the Chalcone Synthase Superfamily of Plant Type III Polyketide Synthases
ENZYMATIC CYCLIZATION OF SQUALENE AND OXIDOSQUALENE TO STEROLS AND TRITERPENES
Structure and function of the chalcone synthase superfamily of plant type III polyketide synthases.
Covering: 2002 to 2009 This review covers recent advances in structure and function studies on the chalcone synthase (CHS) superfamily of plant type III polyketide synthases (PKSs), which catalyze… Expand

This review covers recent advances in the chemistry and enzymology of squalene cyclase and oxidosqualene cyclase. The enzymatic cyclizations of squalene and oxidosqualene are the most remarkable… Expand
A plant type III polyketide synthase that produces pentaketide chromone.
A novel plant-specific type III polyketide synthase (PKS) that catalyzes formation of a pentaketide chromone, 5,7-dihydroxy-2-methylchromone, from five molecules of malonyl-CoA, was cloned and… Expand
