Abstract

Elucidating the biochemical pathways of specialised metabolites in plants is key to enable or improve their sustainable biotechnological production. Chemical tools can greatly facilitate the discovery of biosynthetic genes and enzymes. Here, we summarise transdisciplinary approaches where methods from chemistry and chemical biology helped to overcome key challenges of pathway elucidation. Based on recent examples, we describe how state-of-the-art isotope labelling experiments can guide the selection of biosynthetic gene candidates, how affinity-based probes enable the identification of novel enzymes, how semisynthesis can improve the availability of elusive pathway intermediates, and how biomimetic reactions provide a better understanding of inherent chemical reactivity. We anticipate that a wider application of such chemical methods will accelerate the pace of pathway elucidation in plants.

揭示植物特殊代谢途径的化学工具
阐明植物中特殊代谢物的生化途径是实现或改进其可持续生物技术生产的关键。化学工具可以极大地促进生物合成基因和酶的发现。在此,我们总结了跨学科方法,其中化学和化学生物学的方法有助于克服途径阐明的关键挑战。根据最近的实例,我们介绍了最先进的同位素标记实验如何指导候选生物合成基因的选择,基于亲和力的探针如何使新型酶的鉴定成为可能,半合成如何提高难以捉摸的途径中间体的可用性,以及仿生反应如何使人们更好地了解固有的化学反应性。我们预计,此类化学方法的更广泛应用将加快植物途径阐明的步伐。
