View article: Catalytic mechanism underlying the regiospecificity of coumarin-substrate transmembrane prenyltransferases in Apiaceae
Catalytic mechanism underlying the regiospecificity of coumarin-substrate transmembrane prenyltransferases in Apiaceae Open
Plant membrane-bound prenyltransferases (PTs) catalyze the transfer of prenyl groups to acceptor substrates, phenols, using prenyl diphosphates as the donor substrate. The presence of prenyl residues in the reaction products, prenylated ph…

Apoplast-Localized β-Glucosidase Elevates Isoflavone Accumulation in the Soybean Rhizosphere Open
Plant specialized metabolites (PSMs) are often stored as glycosides within cells and released from the roots with some chemical modifications. While isoflavones are known to function as symbiotic signals with rhizobia and to modulate the s…

Parallel evolution of UbiA superfamily proteins into aromatic <i>O</i> -prenyltransferases in plants Open
Significance Plants produce approximately 300 O -prenylated aromatics, with their O -prenyl moieties often being crucial to their bioactivities. This study identified a gene from grapefruit encoding an aromatic O -prenyltransferase ( O- PT…

Parallel evolution of UbiA superfamily proteins into aromatic<i>O</i>-prenyltransferases in plants Open
Plants produce approximately 300 aromatic molecules enzymatically linked to prenyl side chains via C-O bonds. These O -prenylated aromatics have been found in taxonomically distant plant taxa as compounds beneficial or detrimental to human…

Isolation of Artemisia capillaris membrane-bound di-prenyltransferase for phenylpropanoids and redesign of artepillin C in yeast Open
Plants produce various prenylated phenolic metabolites, including flavonoids, phloroglucinols, and coumarins, many of which have multiple prenyl moieties and display various biological activities. Prenylated phenylpropanes, such as artepil…
