Genetically engineered synthesis of natural products.
نویسنده
چکیده
The feasibility of multi-step, one-flask total synthesis of natural products is demonstrated by cloning and overexpression of the corresponding biosynthetic enzymes from plant and microbial sources. As many as eight or nine enzymes can be recombined in vitro to reach an advanced intermediate in the vitamin B12 pathway.

Influence of Matric Potential on Survival and Activity of Genetically Engineered Ralstonia eutropha H850Lr
Although the application of biodegradative genetically engineered micro organisms (GEMs) for bioremediation is very promising, the risks of their release should be assessed before their introduction into the environment. Lux-marked Ralstonia eutropha H850Lr (formerly Alcaligenes eutrophus H850Lr) was introduced into sterile and non-sterile soil microcosms at matric potentials ?2.11, ?30, ?750, ...
متن کاملBiosafety Issues in Biotechnology and Engineering of Microorganisms
Currently much debate, attention and concern surrounds the use of genetically modified plants or animals. But there has not been much concern about microorganisms, although we all are aware of the place of microorganisms in the circle of life, their abundance and diversity. There are many examples regarding the application of genetically engineered microorganisms (GEMs), however, like other hig...
متن کاملRecent advances in combinatorial biosynthesis for drug discovery
Because of extraordinary structural diversity and broad biological activities, natural products have played a significant role in drug discovery. These therapeutically important secondary metabolites are assembled and modified by dedicated biosynthetic pathways in their host living organisms. Traditionally, chemists have attempted to synthesize natural product analogs that are important sources...
متن کاملEngineered biosynthesis of the peptide antibiotic bacitracin in the surrogate host Bacillus subtilis.
Nonribosomal peptides are processed on multifunctional enzymes called nonribosomal peptide synthetases (NRPSs), whose modular multidomain arrangement allowed the rational design of new peptide products. However, the lack of natural competence and efficient transformation methods for most of nonribosomal peptide producer strains prevented the in vivo manipulation of these biosynthetic gene clust...
متن کاملCytochrome C and Caspase-3/7 are Involved in Mycophenolic Acid-induced Apoptosis in Genetically Engineered PC12 Neuronal Cells Expressing the p53 Gene
Mycophenolic acid (MPA) is the active metabolite of mycophenolate mofetil. This study designed to investigate the mechanism of cytotoxicity of MPA on the genetically engineered PC12 Tet Off (PTO) neuronal cells with p53 gene. Alamar Blue (AB) reduction showed concentration-dependent cytotoxicity of MPA on PTO cells with IC50 value of 32.32 ± 4.61 mM. The reactive oxygen species (ROS) generation...
