The paper identifies VinBLAST, a scaffold protein that facilitates the biosynthesis of monoterpenoid indole alkaloids by enhancing the interaction and activity of key enzymes.

The paper develops a predictive framework to optimize metabolic pathways in yeast by leveraging chromosomal position effects.

This study identifies and characterizes a conserved oxidase-reductase pair responsible for C3 stereochemistry inversion in monoterpenoid indole alkaloids and traces the evolutionary origin of the gene clusters involved.

This study identifies and reconstructs the complete glyceollin biosynthetic pathway in soybean, enabling sustainable production in yeast.
