A Nose by Any Other Name (Should Smell as Sweetly)
The standard view that the control of mating behavior by pheromones is mediated by the vomeronasal organ, and not by the main olfactory epithelium, has recently been called into question. In this issue of Cell, two independent studies (Boehm et al., 2005; Yoon et al., 2005) examine the inputs from each of these olfactory pathways to a population of neurons that plays a central role in mating be...
متن کاملExpanding the regioselective enzymatic repertoire: oxidative mono-cleavage of dialkenes catalyzed by Trametes hirsuta.
The first report of a biocatalytic regioselective oxidative mono-cleavage of dialkenes was successfully achieved employing a cell-free enzyme preparation from Trametes hirsuta at the expense of molecular oxygen. Selected reactions were performed on a preparative scale affording high to excellent conversions and chemoselectivities.
متن کاملManipulating nature’s sugar biosynthetic machineries for glycodiversification of macrolides: Recent advances and future prospects*
Changing the sugar structures and glycosylation patterns of natural products is an effective means of altering the biological activity of clinically useful drugs. Several recent strategies have provided researchers with the opportunity to manipulate sugar structures and to change the sugar moieties attached to these natural products via a biosynthetic approach. In this review, we explore the ut...
متن کاملEngineering a Carbohydrate-processing Transglycosidase into Glycosyltransferase for Natural Product Glycodiversification
Glycodiversification broadens the scope of natural product-derived drug discovery. The acceptor substrate promiscuity of glucosyltransferase-D (GTF-D), a carbohydrate-processing enzyme from Streptococcus mutans, was expanded by protein engineering. Mutants in a site-saturation mutagenesis library were screened on the fluorescent substrate 4-methylumbelliferone to identify derivatives with impro...
