The Structural Basis of Malodorant Skatole Formation by the Glycyl Radical Enzyme Indoleacetate Decarboxylase

Christa N. Imrich, Lindsey R. F. Backman, Abigail P. Allworth, Mary C. Andorfer, Jared C. Paris, Nina M. Greeley, Beverly Fu, Emily P. Balskus, Catherine Luschinsky Drennan

This paper determines the structure of indoleacetate decarboxylase and challenges the proposed mechanism of skatole formation by showing it may follow a Kolbe-type decarboxylation rather than hydrogen atom transfer.

A Cellular Platform for Production of C4 Monomers

Matthew A. Davis, Vivian Yaci Yu, Beverly Fu, Miao Wen, Edward J. Koleski, J. Silverman, Charles A. Berdan, Daniel K. Nomura, Michelle C. Y. Chang

This study engineered microbial strains to produce three C4 chemicals with ~95% theoretical yield by altering gene loci that control carbon flow.
