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 onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/…
