To develop a method of lignin engineering, we have focused on alkenal double bond reductases (DBR), which can reduce the Cα–Cβ double bond of a monolignol precursor. Here, a novel bacterial DBR from Parvibaculum lavamentivorans DS-1 (PlDBR) was found. This enzyme can reduce the ...
Alkenal double bond reductases (DBRs) catalyze the NADPH-dependent reduction of the α,β-unsaturated double bond of many secondary metabolites. Two alkenal double bond reductase genes PaDBR1 and PaDBR2 were isolated from the liverwort species Plagiochasma appendiculatum. Recombinant PaDBR2 protein...

The molecular genetics of carbon-carbon double bond reduction in the plant Artemisia annua L. was studied. Expressed sequence tags from this plant were investigated for sequences with similarity to known double-bond reductases. This resulted in the isolation of a cDNA, corresponding to the gene ...
