Spatial distribution of isoprenoid enzymes and MpABCG1 transporter influences sesquiterpene accumulation in Marchantia polymorpha oil bodies - Communications Biology
A study maps terpene biosynthesis in Marchantia polymorpha oil bodies and identifies the ABC transporter MpABCG1 as a key factor for endogenous sesquiterpene accumulation in oil bodies, informing future metabolic engineering strategies.

So pleased to share this work on alkaloid biosynthesis. Great collaboration with
@unsworthchem.bsky.social
. Well done to all authors. We have found key alkaloid producing enzymes that look like those normally found in bacteria.

New paper out today on alkaloid (bio)synthesis with
@unsworthchem.bsky.social
. Dr Lachlan Waddell made ten bioactive securinine alkaloids using "biomimetic" total synthesis - a strategy that we think is analogous to the plant makes the alkaloids by biosynthesis.

Biomimetic Total Synthesis of Ten Securinega Alkaloids
The Securinega alkaloids are a diverse family of polycyclic alkaloids with broad biological importance. In this study, a formal [4+2] cycloaddition strategy has been used to complete the biomimetic to...
