Systematic engineering of plant cytochrome P450 system identifies a comprehensive strategy for expression of highly functional P450 enzymes in Escherichia coli

M. Poborsky, C. Crocoll, M. S. Motawia, B. A. Halkier

This study systematically engineers plant cytochrome P450s to enhance their expression and activity in E. coli, identifying transmembrane domain truncation as a universal improvement strategy.

Herbivore feeding behavior validates optimal defense theory for specialized metabolites within plants

P. Hunziker, S. K. Lambertz, K. Weber, C. Crocoll, B. A. Halkier, A. Schulz

The study shows that plants allocate specialized metabolites to tissues critical for fitness, influencing herbivore feeding behavior and supporting optimal defense theory.

Sugar transporters enable a leaf beetle to accumulate plant defense compounds

Z.-L. Yang, H. H. Nour-Eldin, S. Haenniger, M. Reichelt, C. Crocoll, F. Seitz, H. Vogel, F. Beran

This study identifies sugar transporter genes in beetles that prevent the excretion of plant defense compounds, enabling their accumulation for defense.

VC1 catalyzes a key step in the biosynthesis of vicine from GTP in faba bean

E. Bjornsdotter, M. Nadzieja, W. Chang, L. Escobar-Herrera, D. Mancinotti, D. Angra, H. Khazaei, C. Crocoll, A. Vandenberg, F. L. Stoddard, D. M. O'Sullivan, J. Stougaard, A. H. Schulman, S. U. Andersen, F. Geu-Flores

The paper identifies VC1 as the enzyme catalyzing vicine biosynthesis from GTP in faba bean and shows its role in vicine content regulation.

De novo indol-3-ylmethyl glucosinolate biosynthesis, and not long-distance transport, contributes to defence of Arabidopsis against powdery mildew

P. Hunziker, H. Ghareeb, L. Wagenknecht, C. Crocoll, B. A. Halkier, V. Lipka, A. Schulz

This study shows that de novo biosynthesis of indol-3-ylmethyl glucosinolates in epidermal cells contributes to antifungal defense in Arabidopsis, while long-distance transport does not.

An Optimized Screen Reduces the Number of GA Transporters and provides Insights into NPF Substrate Determinants

N. Wulff, H. Asschenfeldt Ernst, M. Egevang Jorgensen, S. Lambertz, T. Maierhofer, Z. Mussa Belew, C. Crocoll, M. Saddik Motawia, D. Geiger, F. S. Jorgensen, O. Mirza, H. H. Nour-Eldin

The paper develops an optimized transport assay to identify GA transporters among NPF proteins and identifies key residues determining substrate specificity.
