2-Oxoglutarate-dependent dioxygenases contribute to cardenolide biosynthesis in Erysimum cheiranthoides (wormseed wallflower)

Gordon C. Younkin, Cynthia K. Holland, Georg Jander

This study identifies 2-oxoglutarate-dependent dioxygenases involved in cardenolide biosynthesis in Erysimum cheiranthoides and characterizes their enzymatic functions.

Four enzymes control natural variation in the steroid core of Erysimum cardenolides

Gordon C. Younkin, Martin L. Alani, Tobias Züst, Georg Jander

The paper identifies four enzymes that control stereochemistry at carbon 5 of cardenolides in Erysimum, showing how natural variation in one enzyme explains structural diversity in these defensive compounds.
