Modification of a plant-based expression system to produce Lysosomal Acid Lipase (LAL) in plant cells using genetic modification of endogenous plant N-glycosylation
As plant cells are capable of complex N-glycosylation they are a valid expression system to produce safe and correctly glycosylated human proteins. To modify plant glycosylation patterns towards fully human patterns, the plant glycosylation machinery requires substitution of a series of plant …

Characterization of the Diverse Substrate Specificities and Biological Roles of Polyamine Biosynthetic Enzymes in Microorganisms
… decarboxylases (ODC), and bacterial and plant enzymes with activity on L-arginine and meso-diaminopimelate. These enzymes catalyze essential steps in polyamine and lysine biosynthesis. Phylogenetic analysis suggests that diverse bacterial species also contain ODC-like enzymes from this …

The Role of Glutathione Transferases in the Detoxification of TNT
… is a promising solution; suitable plants possess some natural ability to transform TNT, high biomass, deep root systems, requirement for minimal nutrient input and ability to reduce contamination spread by wind or water erosion; making them an attractive remediation system. Key …

Identification of pyruvate decarboxylase/indole pyruvate decarboxylase gene family members from Arabidopsis thaliana.
… pyrophosphate (TPP) cofactor-dependent metabolic enzymes, including pyruvate decarboxylase (PDC), indole pyruvate decarboxylase (IPDC), and acetohydroxy acid synthase. PDC is a critical enzyme in plant metabolism that regulates energy production especially during periods of anaerobic stress. IPDC …

Functional Evolution and Origin of Enzymes of the Bacterial Glycogen/Starch Biosynthetic Pathway
… The goal of this research is to understand how enzymes of the bacterial glycogen/starch biosynthetic pathway originated. Additionally, we want to understand how the function of the control enzyme of this pathway, ADP-glucose pyrophosphorylase (ADP-Glc PPase), has evolved. This is important …
