Research Excerpts

Overview

Dhurrin is a cyanogenic glucoside, which is catabolized into different bioactive compounds at other stages of plant development. Its fate and role during germination is unknown.

"Dhurrin is a cyanogenic glucoside and its biosynthesis involves a dynamic metabolon formed by two P450s, a UDP-glucosyltransferase (UGT) and a P450 oxidoreductase (POR)."( Tat proteins as novel thylakoid membrane anchors organize a biosynthetic pathway in chloroplasts and increase product yield 5-fold.

"Dhurrin is a cyanogenic glucoside and its synthesis from the amino acid tyrosine is catalysed by two membrane-bound cytochrome P450 enzymes (CYP79A1 and CYP71E1) and a soluble glucosyltransferase (UGT85B1), and is dependent on electron transfer from a P450 oxidoreductase."( Transfer of the cytochrome P450-dependent dhurrin pathway from Sorghum bicolor into Nicotiana tabacum chloroplasts for light-driven synthesis.

Drug Classes (4)

ClassDescription
beta-D-glucosideAny D-glucoside in which the anomeric centre has beta-configuration.
nitrileA compound having the structure RC#N; thus a C-substituted derivative of hydrocyanic acid, HC#N. In systematic nomenclature, the suffix nitrile denotes the triply bound #N atom, not the carbon atom attached to it.
cyanogenic glycosideA glycoside in which the aglycone contains a cyanide group. A cyanogenic glycoside can release poisonous hydrogen cyanide if acted upon by some enzyme.
monosaccharide derivativeA carbohydrate derivative that is formally obtained from a monosaccharide.
