报告摘要
Plant-derived natural products have long been used as medicinal agents and still account for a significant fraction of clinically approved drugs. The combination of the tools and principles of chemistry, together with the tools of modern biology, allows us to create complex synthetic and natural molecules, comprising processes with novel biological, chemical, and physical properties. This lecture will illustrate the opportunities at the interface between natural product chemistry and chemical biology by describing a series of examples we are actively working on in our laboratory at Peking University. We take inspiration from Mother Nature to study the biosynthesis of plant-derived natural products, elucidate new enzymatic mechanisms, and apply a chemoenzymatic approach to prepare complex natural products and their derivatives. Moreover, we further use bioactive natural products to explore new biology and develop novel drug candidates for human diseases, such as cancers, and metabolic and autoimmune diseases.

Science Advances:破解植物来源苯并呋喃类天然药物生物合成难题
6月17日,北京大学化学与分子工程学院、北大-清华生命科学联合中心雷晓光团队与武汉大学药学院高磊团队合作,在《Science Advances》上发表了题为“Characterization of the biosynthetic enzymes of the Morus alba benzofuran natural products”的研究论文。
该研究首次完整解析了白桑中moracin M的生物合成通路,并利用无标记热蛋白质组学技术(TPP)鉴定出一种非典型漆酶MaLAC,该酶催化了从氧化白藜芦醇到moracin M的分子内氧化环化反应,这是植物漆酶首次被报道具有此类催化功能。
