Three genes encoding a typical beta-lactamase, a penicillin-binding protein (PBP4) and a transmembrane protein are located in the cluster of cephamycin biosynthetic genes in Nocardia lactamdurans. The similarity of the N. lactamdurans beta-lactamase to class A beta-lactamases from clinical isolates...
The dissociative architecture (FAS-II) exists in plants, mito- chondria and bacteria, whereas the enzymatic modules function as a series of individual soluble enzymes en- coded by discrete genes [2]. So far, crystal structures of FAS-I synthases (FASN) from Sus scrofa and fungi [19- 23] ...
Furthermore, ChIP﹒PCR and Dual㎜UC assays showed that NAC1 could directly bind to the 'CATATG' and 'CATGTC' motifs present in the promoters of SalA biosynthesis‐related PAL3 and TAT3 genes, respectively, and activate their expression. Our results collectively demonstrate that NAC1 plays a ...
Transcriptomic analysis reveals a co-expression module with a high correlation to anthraquinone biosynthesis that includes key chalcone synthase genes. One CHS, four CYP450 and two BGL genes involved in secondary metabolism show significantly upregulated expression levels in roots compared with other ...
Draft genome of the brown alga, Nemacystus decipiens, Onna-1 strain: Fusion of genes involved in the sulfated fucan biosynthesis pathwayThe brown alga,("ito-mozuku" in Japanese), is one of the major edible seaweeds, cultivated principally in Okinawa, Japan..is also a significant source of ...
The genes that were positively regulated include those found in the pks2 and the msl3 gene clusters that encode enzymes for the biosynthesis of sulphatides and diacyltrehalose and polyacyltrehalose respectively. Complementary biochemical studies, in agreement with recent results from another group, ...
Fifty-three percent of the studied?strains expressed antibiotic activity against Gram-positive bacteria and possess polyketide synthase (PKS) genes. Thus, Actinobacteria associated with Baikal's endemic deepwater amphipods might both protect amphipods against pathogenic microorganisms and be an untapped ...
Two key genes, CiABI3 and CiFUS3 were further cloned and found to be localized in the nucleus. This study used metabolome and transcriptome analysis during key periods of pecan seed development to identify the key genes associated with seed development and fatty acid biosynthesis.Fangren Peng...
The results of RNA-Sequencing revealed that overexpression of MYB102 in Arabidopsis promoted ET biosynthesis by upregulation of some 1-aminocyclopropane-1-carboxylate synthase (ACS) genes, which are rate-limiting enzymes of the ET-synthetic pathway. Enhanced ET levels led to reduced Arabidopsis ...
