A biosynthetic pathway for anandamide.
The endocannabinoid arachidonoyl ethanolamine (anandamide) is a lipid transmitter synthesized and released "on demand" by neurons in the brain. Anandamide is also generated by macrophages where its endotoxin (LPS)-induced synthesis has been implicated in the hypotension of septic shock and advanced liver cirrhosis. Anandamide can be generated from its membrane precursor, N-arachidonoyl phosphat...
متن کاملIntroducing ectoine as compatible solute: biosynthetic pathway, production and applications
Halophilic microorganisms cope with environmental stresses by producing and accumulating compatible solutes. Ectoine is one of the most important members of compatible solutes which have extra protective properties compared to other compatible solutes. Ectoine attracts several scientific and commercial attention because of their multiple industrial applications. This brief review presents appli...
متن کاملA C35 carotenoid biosynthetic pathway.
Upon coexpression with Erwinia geranylgeranyldiphosphate (GGDP) synthase in Escherichia coli, C(30) carotenoid synthase CrtM from Staphylococcus aureus produces novel carotenoids with the asymmetrical C(35) backbone. The products of condensation of farnesyldiphosphate and GDP, C(35) structures comprise 40 to 60% of total carotenoid accumulated. Carotene desaturases and carotene cyclases from C(...
متن کاملAflatoxin Biosynthetic Pathway Enzymes
Five strains ofAspergillusfJavus lacking the ability to produce aflatoxins were examined in greenhouse tests for the ability to prevent a toxigenic strain from contaminating developing cottonseed with aflatoxins. All atoxigenic strains reduced contamination when inoculated into developing bolls 24 h prior to the toxigenic strain. However, only one strain, AF36, was highly effective when inocula...
متن کاملThe tryptophan biosynthetic pathway
The trp repressor proteins regulate transcription of several different operons located at separate sites on the E. coli chromosome. In addition to the trp operon, this repressor represses transcription of aroH, a single-gene operon that encodes an enzyme required for the synthesis of all aromatic amino acids, and trpR, another single-gene operon encoding the trp repressor itself. Such coordinat...
