High impact information on Bornyl

  • Structures of complexes with aza analogues of substrate and carbocation intermediates, as well as complexes with pyrophosphate and bornyl diphosphate, provide "snapshots" of the terpene cyclization cascade [1].
  • Deduced sequence analysis and size exclusion chromatography indicate that the recombinant bornyl diphosphate synthase is a homodimer, whereas the other two recombinant enzymes are monomeric, consistent with the size and subunit architecture of their native enzyme counterparts [2].
  • A recent study has revealed that cinnamic acid and bornyl ester derivatives bind to HNE, but DeltaG0 values from ligand docking results exhibited no correlation with those calculated from the IC50 values [3].
  • Results with chimeric recombinant enzymes, constructed by reciprocally substituting regions of sabinene synthase with the corresponding sequences from bornyl diphosphate synthase or 1,8-cineole synthase, demonstrated that exchange of the C-terminal catalytic domain is sufficient to completely switch the resulting product profile [4].
  • The incorporation of 13C-labeled glucose into borneol, bornyl acetate, the sesquiterpenes cubebanol and ricciocarpin A, phytol, and stigmasterol has been studied in axenic cultures of the liverworts Ricciocarpos natans and Conocephalum conicum [5].
 

Biological context of Bornyl

 

Anatomical context of Bornyl

  • One MEP compartment is presumably the plastid where phytol is formed; the second, involved in the build-up of the isoprene part of bornyl acetate, might be located in the oil cells [7].
 

Associations of Bornyl with other chemical compounds

 

Analytical, diagnostic and therapeutic context of Bornyl

  • A peroxidase was purified from the culture medium of a suspension culture of Marchantia polymorpha (liverwort) after treatment with bornyl acetate, which acts as a chemical stress agent to the cells [12].
