Abstract Plants are unique organisms that have developed ingenious strategies to cope with environmental challenges, such as herbivorous insects. One of these is the synthesis a vast array chemical compounds, known specialized metabolites, serve many ecological functions. Among most fascinating and diverse groups metabolites alkaloids, which characterized by presence nitrogen atom within heterocyclic ring. While some medicinal recreational applications, others highly unpalatable and/or toxic. The effects alkaloids on both humans insects can be very diverse, affecting their physiology behavior. Insects feed alkaloid-containing plants evolved various mechanisms consequences toxins. These include sequestration, where store in tissues or organs, enzymatic detoxification through enzymes cytochrome P450 monooxygenases glutathione S-transferases, behavioral adaptations selective feeding. In this review, we explore relationships between plant evolutionary enable exploit alkaloid-rich food sources niches minimizing harmful natural compounds. We aim provide comprehensive updated overview complex interaction.

Synthetic biology has played an important role in the renaissance of natural products research during post-genomics era. The development and integration new tools have transformed workflow product discovery engineering, generating multidisciplinary interest field. In this review, we summarize recent developments biosynthesis from three different aspects. First, advances bioinformatics, experimental, analytical to identify associated with predicted biosynthetic gene clusters (BGCs) will be covered. This followed by extensive review on heterologous expression bacterial, fungal plant organisms. native host-independent paradigm identification, pathway characterization, enzyme is where synthetic most prominent role. Lastly, strategies engineer pathways for structural diversification complexity generation discussed, including assembly-line megasynthase precursor-directed modification, combinatorial biosynthesis.

Imines and enamines are useful intermediates in biochemical aldol-type reactions since their acid/base characteristics accessible near neutrality. However, the generation of aldimines water is a challenge as equilibrium favors components alkyl amines aldehydes. Here, we report generation, recognition, protection accomplished by water-soluble capsule. The capsule provides well-defined hydrophobic cavity isolating from medium dry seam Se-N chalcogen bonds instead wet hydrogen water.

The demand for novel enzyme-catalyzed reactions in chemical synthesis has spurred the development of many new-to-nature reactions. Additionally, detailed analysis biosynthetic pathways can uncover unprecedented chemical/enzymatic mechanisms. In this study, we revisited catalytic mechanism 2-oxoglutarate-dependent dioxygenase Pt2OGD-1, involved biosynthesis huperzine alkaloids. Our experimental and computational investigations uncovered a previously unknown enzymatic C-C bond cleavage piperidine ring alkaloid scaffold, resembling an oxidative retro-aza-Prins reaction. Here, transformation is initiated by hydrogen abstraction, followed electron transfer at 4-position heterocycle, triggering opening finally resulting loss carbon atom as formaldehyde. This discovery expands toolbox reactions, enhances our understanding these enzymes, may facilitate their application biotechnological production pharmaceutically relevant scaffolds well biocatalysts with similar activities.
