Front Cover: Characterization of an Unusual α‐Oxoamine Synthase Off‐Loading Domain from a Cyanobacterial Type I Fatty Acid Synthase (ChemBioChem 18/2023) Open
A new fatty acid synthase off-loading domain. Fatty acid synthase (FAS) usually releases its products by hydrolysis or transesterification. Here, an α-oxoamine synthase off-loading domain is identified in a cyanobacterial type I FAS. This …
Not All Acidovorax Are Created Equal: Gibberellin Biosynthesis in the Turfgrass Pathogen <i>Acidovorax avenae</i> subsp. <i>avenae</i> Open
In recent years Acidovorax avenae subsp. avenae was identified as a major cause of bacterial etiolation and decline (BED) in turfgrasses and has become a growing economical concern for the turfgrass industry. The symptoms of BED resemble t…
Characterization of an Unusual α‐Oxoamine Synthase Off‐Loading Domain from a Cyanobacterial Type I Fatty Acid Synthase Open
Type I fatty acid synthases (FASs) are known from higher eukaryotes and fungi. We report the discovery of FasT, a rare type I FAS from the cyanobacterium Chlorogloea sp. CCALA695. FasT possesses an unusual off‐loading domain, which was het…
Silencing cuticular pigmentation genes enables RNA FISH in intact chemosensory appendagess Open
Optical imaging of gene expression by RNA-fluorescent in situ hybridisation (FISH) in whole-mount sensory appendages of insects is often impeded by their highly pigmented cuticle. Since most chemical bleaching agents are incompatible with …
Silencing cuticular pigmentation genes enables RNA FISH in intact insect appendages Open
Optical imaging of gene expression by fluorescence in situ hybridisation (FISH) in insects is often impeded by their pigmented cuticle. Since most chemical bleaching agents are incompatible with FISH, we developed a RNA interference-based …
