The structure model of Brachypodium DAHP synthase (BdDHS1b), which carry four mutations that make this enzyme hyper active due to relaxed sensitivity to negative feedback inhibition.
Our latest Plant Physiology paper identified four mutations in DAHP synthases that act synergistically to supercharge the shikimate pathway in BOP grasses, boosting aromatic chemical production. Read more at ๐ tinyurl.com/yfvpvzm5

Plants make thousands of #phenolic compoundsโlike morphine, auxin, anthocyanins, ligninโfrom the #ShikimatePathway. In our #TIBS review, Jorge El-Azaz discussed how multiple enzyme isoforms fine tune the production of diverse aromatic natural products in plants.
