Studies of non-mevalonate isoprenoid biosynthesis : the 1-deoxy-D-xylulose-5-phosphate isomeroreductase (DXR) mediated reaction

Creator:: Woo, Youn-Hi
Abstract:: This dissertation details the investigation of an alternate pathway to isoprenoids that occurs in plants and microorganisms, the non-mevalonate pathway. This exploration of the pathway focuses on the second step, the conversion of 1-deoxy-D-xylulose-5-phosphate (DXP) to 2-C-methylerythritol-4-phosphate (MEP) by the enzyme DXP isomeroreductase (DXR). These studies led to an appreciation...

Studies on isoprenoid biosynthesis in Euglena gracilis

Creator:: Kim, Dojung
Abstract:: This dissertation describes studies of isoprenoid biosynthesis in the phytoflagellate Euglena gracilis. Elucidation of a novel isoprerioid pathway, the 2-Cmethyl-D-erythritol-4-phosphate (MEP) pathway, in addition to the generally known mevalonate (MVA) pathway, led to extensive exploration of the distribution of both pathways in a variety of organisms. To date, photosynthetic eukaryotes...

Syntheses and evaluation of putative enzyme inhibitor of isoprenoid biosynthesis

Creator:: Phaosiri, Chanokporn
Abstract:: The discovery of the methylerythritol phosphate pathway (the MEP pathway) as an alternate pathway for isoprenoid biosynthesis in some organisms including most bacteria, malarial parasites and plants, but not in animals, has stimulated extensive studies in this area. Research has revealed the potential of finding novel antibacterials, antimalarial drugs, and...

Studies on 1-deoxy-D-xylulose 5-phosphate reductoisomerase from Synechocystis sp. PCC6803 : characterization of mutants and inhibitors

Creator:: Fernandes, Roberta P. M.
Abstract:: In recent years, the methyl erythritol phosphate (MEP) pathway to isoprenoids has been the subject of intensive research. The interest is because isoprenoids have important roles in many cellular processes essential for the survival of several pathogenic organisms, making the inhibition of this pathway an attractive target for the drug...

Biosynthetic studies of fungal diterpene antibiotics

Creator:: Yao, Qingmei
Abstract:: The isoprenoid pathway is one of the major biosynthetic pathways of secondary metabolites. Isoprenoids with a C₂₀ skeleton are known as diterpenoids and are derived from the common precursor, geranylgeranyl diphosphate (GGPP). This dissertation describes approaches to discover the diterpene synthase enzymes which provide the backbone structures for pleuromutilin and...

Studies toward the synthesis of coibamide A and analogues

Creator:: Li, Dong
Abstract:: Coibamide A is a highly methylated cyclic depsipeptide isolated from Panamanian marine filamentous cyanobacteria as part of an International Cooperative Biodiversity Groups (ICBG) program based in Panama. This structurally unique agent exhibits potent cancer cell toxicity with an unprecedented selectivity profile in the National Cancer Institute (NCI) 60 cell line...

Time Periodic Sand Ripples at the Oregon Coast

Creator:: Korn, Abraham
Abstract:: We consider development of sand ripples in shallow water flows which do not reach an equilibrium height but have a time-varying ripple height that slowly reaches a maximum value and then is quickly destroyed by the fluid. A simple scenario to explain the time periodic behavior of the sand ripples...
