About this document

A New Group of Aromatic Prenyltransferases in Fungi, Catalyzing A 2,7-Dihydroxynaphthalene J. Biol. Chem.-2010-Haug-Schifferdecker-16487-94 by ckmarlowe is a document available to read on EtoBox.

Five fungal genomes from the Ascomycota (sac fungi) were found to contain a gene with sequence similarity to a recently discovered small group of bacterial prenyltransferases that catalyze the C-prenylation of aromatic substrates in secondary metabolism. The genes from Aspergillus terreus NIH2624, Botryotinia fuckeliana B05.10 and Sclerotinia sclerotiorum 1980 were expressed in Escherichia coli, and the resulting His8-tagged proteins were purified and investigated biochemically. Their substrate spec
