Biosynthesis of the Macrocyclic Diterpene Casbene in Castor Bean (Ricinus communis L.) Seedlings : Changes in Enzyme Levels Induced by Fungal Infection and Intracellular Localization of the Pathway.

Only registered users can translate articles

Casbene is a macrocyclic diterpene hydrocarbon that is produced in young castor bean (Ricinus communis L.) seedlings after they are exposed to Rhizopus stolonifer or other fungi. The activities of enzymes that participate in casbene biosynthesis were measured in cell-free extracts of 67-hour castor

Properties of Rhizopus stolonifer Polygalacturonase, an Elicitor of Casbene Synthetase Activity in Castor Bean (Ricinus communis L.) Seedlings.

Some properties of the polygalacturonase-elicitor from the filtrates of Rhizopus stolonifer cultures have been examined in an attempt to understand its mode of action as an elicitor of casbene synthetase activity in castor bean seedlings. Both the polygalacturonase activity and the elicitor activity

Polygalacturonase from Rhizopus stolonifer, an Elicitor of Casbene Synthetase Activity in Castor Bean (Ricinus communis L.) Seedlings.

Only registered users can translate articles

Apparently homogeneous polygalacturonase-elicitor purified from the filtrates of Rhizopus stolonifer cultures stimulates germinating castor bean seedlings to produce greatly increased levels of casbene synthetase activity. The purification procedure involved gel-filtration chromatography on Sephadex

Casbene synthetase: regulation of phytoalexin biosynthesis in Ricinus communis L. seedlings. Purification of casbene synthetase and regulation of its biosynthesis during elicitation.

Castor bean (Ricinus communis L.) seedlings responded to stress by producing the antifungal diterpene, casbene. Casbene synthetase, the enzyme catalyzing the production of casbene from geranylgeranyl pyrophosphate, was purified 4700-fold to a final specific activity of 4.2 nkat/mg protein by a

High level expression of Ricinus communis casbene synthase in Escherichia coli and characterization of the recombinant enzyme.

Only registered users can translate articles

Casbene synthase catalyzes the cyclization of geranylgeranyl diphosphate (2) to casbene (1), a diterpene phytoalexin with antibacterial and antifungal activity that is produced by seedlings of castor bean (Ricinus communis L.) in response to fungal attack. We report the high-level expression of

Biosynthesis of the Macrocyclic Diterpene Casbene in Castor Bean (Ricinus communis L.) Seedlings : The Purification and Properties of Farnesyl Transferase from Elicited Seedlings.

Only registered users can translate articles

FARNESYL TRANSFERASE (FARNESYL PYROPHOSPHATE: isopentenyl pyrophosphate farnesyl transferase; geranylgeranyl pyrophosphate synthetase) was purified at least 400-fold from extracts of castor bean (Ricinus communis L.) seedlings that were elicited by exposure for 10 h to Rhizopus stolonifer spores.
