Chromosome-level genome assembly of Ophiorrhiza pumila reveals the evolution of camptothecin biosynthesis

Amit Rai et al.

Summary: This study presents the chromosome-level reference and phased genome assembly of Ophiorrhiza pumila, a medicinal plant producing camptothecin, as well as reports on 273 nitrogen-containing metabolites. They propose a working model for MIA evolution and biosynthesis through comparative genomics and analysis of metabolic gene clusters.

A chromosome-level Camptotheca acuminata genome assembly provides insights into the evolutionary origin of camptothecin biosynthesis

Minghui Kang et al.

Summary: The study presents a high-quality, chromosome-level assembly of the Camptotheca acuminata genome, shedding light on the evolutionary origin of camptothecin biosynthesis in the plant. By comparing to the biosynthetic pathway in Catharanthus roseus, the functional divergence of the LAMT gene and positive evolution of two SLAS genes in C. acuminata are found to play significant roles in camptothecin biosynthesis.

Two bi-functional cytochrome P450 CYP72 enzymes from olive (Olea europaea) catalyze the oxidative C-C bond cleavage in the biosynthesis of secoxy-iridoids - flavor and quality determinants in olive oil

Carlos E. Rodriguez-Lopez et al.

Summary: The discovery of new bifunctional enzymes influencing olive oil quality sheds light on the biosynthetic pathway of olive oil. Experimental evidence revealed the key role of these enzymes in product specificity, uncovering a new mechanism for seco-iridoid production in plants. Furthermore, the study identified a genetic link between cultivated and wild olives.

The scaffold-forming steps of plant alkaloid biosynthesis

Benjamin R. Lichman

Summary: Alkaloids from plants, known for their structural diversity and bioactivity, hold a privileged position in both modern and traditional medicines. Recent research has made significant progress in elucidating the biosynthetic origins of plant alkaloids. This review focuses on the metabolic origins of true alkaloids, specialized metabolites derived from amino acids with a nitrogen heterocycle, highlighting the key roles played by modifications to primary metabolism, iminium reactivity, and spontaneous reactions in the molecular and evolutionary origins of these pathways.
