The NAC family transcription factor GmNAC42-1 regulates biosynthesis of the anticancer and neuroprotective glyceollins in soybean.

Only registered users can translate articles

Glyceollins are isoflavonoid-derived pathogen-inducible defense metabolites (phytoalexins) from soybean (Glycine max L. Merr) that have important roles in providing defense against pathogens. They also have impressive anticancer and neuroprotective activities in mammals. Despite their

Epithiospecifier protein from broccoli (Brassica oleracea L. ssp. italica) inhibits formation of the anticancer agent sulforaphane.

Only registered users can translate articles

In some cruciferous plants, epithiospecifier protein (ESP) directs myrosinase (EC 3.2.3.1)-catalyzed hydrolysis of alkenyl glucosinolates toward epithionitrile formation. Here, for the first time, we show that ESP activity is negatively correlated with the extent of formation of the health-promoting

Expression and in vitro function of anti-cancer mAbs in transgenic Arabidopsis thaliana.

Only registered users can translate articles

The anti-colorectal cancer monoclonal antibody CO17-1A (mAb CO), which recognizes the tumor-associated antigen EpCAM, was expressed in transgenic Arabidopsis plants. PCR and western blot analyses showed the insertion and expression of heavy chain (HC)/HC fused to the KDEL ER retention modif (HCK)

Arabidopsis bile acid:sodium symporter family protein 5 is involved in methionine-derived glucosinolate biosynthesis.

Only registered users can translate articles

Glucosinolates (GSLs) are a group of plant secondary metabolites that have repellent activity against herbivore insects and pathogens, and anti-carcinogenic activity in humans. They are produced in plants of the Brassicaceae and other related families. Biosynthesis of GSLs from precursor amino acids

Functional analysis of three BrMYB28 transcription factors controlling the biosynthesis of glucosinolates in Brassica rapa.

Only registered users can translate articles

Glucosinolates (GSLs) are secondary metabolites that have anticarcinogenic activity and play defense roles in plants of the Brassicaceae family. MYB28 is known as a transcription factor that regulates aliphatic GSL biosynthesis in Arabidopsis thaliana. Brassicaceae plants have three orthologous

Metabolic engineering of isoprenoid biosynthesis in Arabidopsis for the production of taxadiene, the first committed precursor of Taxol.

Only registered users can translate articles

Paclitaxel (Taxol) is a widely used anticancer isoprenoid produced by the secondary metabolism of yew (Taxus sp.) trees. However, only limited amounts of Taxol or related metabolites (taxoids) can be obtained from the currently available sources. In this work we have taken the first step toward

Expression of recombinant human anti-TNF-α scFv-Fc in Arabidopsis thaliana seeds.

Only registered users can translate articles

Recombinant human anti-tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-α scFv-Fc was expressed in TKO mutant Arabidopsis thaliana seeds using plant-specific codons. Immunoblotting using a human IgG1 antibody detected the expression of anti-TNF-α proteins in plants. Results from qRT-PCR analysis demonstrated that the

Seed-specific expression and analysis of recombinant anti-HER2 single-chain variable fragment (scFv-Fc) in Arabidopsis thaliana.

Only registered users can translate articles

Antibodies to human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2) are a key element of breast cancer therapy; however, they are expensive to produce and their availability is limited. A seed-specific expression system can be used to produce recombinant proteins. We report a seed-specific expression

Production of 5-aminolevulinic acid from glutamate by overexpressing HemA1 and pgr7 from Arabidopsis thaliana in Escherichia coli.

Only registered users can translate articles

The important metabolic intermediate 5-aminolevulinic acid (ALA) is useful for cancer treatment or plant growth regulation and has consequently received much attention. In this study, we introduced the HemA1 and pgr7 genes from the higher plant Arabidopsis thaliana into recombinant Escherichia coli

Combined transgenic expression of Punica granatum conjugase (FADX) and FAD2 desaturase in high linoleic acid Arabidopsis thaliana mutant leads to increased accumulation of punicic acid.

Only registered users can translate articles

CONCLUSIONS Arabidopsis was engineered to produce 21.2 % punicic acid in the seed oil. Possible molecular factors limiting further accumulation of the conjugated fatty acid were investigated. Punicic acid (18:3Δ(9cis,11trans,13cis) ) is a conjugated linolenic acid isomer and is a main component of

[Genoprotective activities of the oils from leaves and fruits of Fagus orientalis Lipsky].

Only registered users can translate articles

The antimutagenic activities of the oils obtained from leaves and fruits of Fagus orientalis have been shown in experiments with spontaneous and mutagen- and ageing-induced variability. The aberrations of chromosomes in the meristematic cells of the Allium cepa L., Vicia faba L., Triticum aestivum

Regulation of plant glucosinolate metabolism.

Only registered users can translate articles

Glucosinolates and their degradation products are known to play important roles in plant interaction with herbivores and micro-organisms. In addition, they are important for human life. For example, some degradation products are flavor compounds and some exhibit anticarcinogenic properties. Recent

The ABC of Phytohormone Translocation.

Only registered users can translate articles

ATP-driven transport across biological membranes is a key process to translocate solutes from the interior of the cell to the extracellular environment. In humans, ATP-binding cassette transporters are involved in absorption, distribution, metabolism, excretion, and toxicity, and also play a major

Microbial production of astilbin, a bioactive rhamnosylated flavanonol, from taxifolin.

Only registered users can translate articles

Flavonoids are plant-based polyphenolic biomolecules with a wide range of biological activities. Glycosylated flavonoids have drawn special attention in the industries as it improves solubility, stability, and bioactivity. Herein, we report the production of astilbin (ATN) from taxifolin (TFN) in

The gene controlling the quantitative trait locus EPITHIOSPECIFIER MODIFIER1 alters glucosinolate hydrolysis and insect resistance in Arabidopsis.

Only registered users can translate articles

Glucosinolates are sulfur-rich plant secondary metabolites whose breakdown products have a wide range of biological activities in plant-herbivore and plant-pathogen interactions and anticarcinogenic properties. In Arabidopsis thaliana, hydrolysis by the enzyme, myrosinase, produces bioactive
