@BioCIS, beautiful work on viduamanide, a new cyclopeptide isolated from the recently described deadly mushroom Amanita vidua in the Journal of Natural Products @ACSPublications @CNRSchimie @InsermIDF @ScienceSorbonne @BeniddirM

[TeufelLab @TeufelLab]

Two new studies lead by Sven Sowa: We developed a bioinformatic tool for the rapid analysis of related biosynthetic gene clusters to streamline the discovery of novel natural product congeners and distinct tailoring enzymes

New study in @JACS overturns the proposed Baeyer-Villiger Monooxygenase role of RslO9 in rishirilide biosynthesis. Instead, it uses a Hooker oxidation-like mechanism: substrate hydroxylation + alkyl migration. Led by Heiner Weddeling @unibas

YUCCA enzymes are key for plant auxin biosynthesis – but Sina Rütschlin (@Unibas) discovered their surprising dual role: they also drive chlorophyll degradation, which may link leaf senescence to auxin homeostasis in plants! Great collab w/ Simone Moser https://t.co/1Jhsxd0wch
