Liu Flyer Atypical Reactions in the Biosynthesis of Herbicidins Abstract: Herbicidins are adenosine-derived nucleoside antibiotics with an unusual tricyclic core structure. Deletion of the genes responsible for formation of the tricyclic skeleton in Streptomyces sp. L-9-10 reveals the in vivo importance of Her4, Her5 and Her6 during the early stages of herbicidin biosynthesis. In vitro […] |

Liau Flyer Unraveling Chromatin Complexes with Small Molecules Abstract: The orchestrated interactions of chromatin complexes and transcription factors shape the cell’s epigenome to control gene expression and cell state. Dysregulation of these complexes and their interactions underlie human disease, and new therapeutic approaches to modulate them by blocking or even creating interactions are transforming paradigms […] |
