We have decoded the complete 4-vinylanisole (4VA) biosynthetic pathway in locusts, identifying its precursors and key enzymes 4VPMT1/2. And we developed specific inhibitors enabling precise chemical control of 4VA production, effectively disrupting locust aggregation behavior.

Aggregation pheromone, 4-vinylanisole (4VA), is specifically released by gregarious migratory locust...

We just identified erucamide, a plant phytoalexin, blocks bacterial T3SS assembly by targeting HrcC, which disrupts bacterial pathogenesis and decreased infection susceptibility.

Plants employ immune receptors to perceive pathogen-associated molecular patterns (PAMPs) to trigger...

We just reported the cryo-EM structures of hTRPV4 in a complex with two potent small-molecule antagonists A1 and A2, revealing the detailed binding pockets and regulatory mechanisms of TRPV4 gating.

The nonselective calcium-permeable Transient Receptor Potential Cation Channel Subfamily V Member4 (...

We just reported the chemoenzymatic total synthesis approach of alchivemycin A that combines de novo skeleton construction and late-stage enzymatic oxidation reactions. The work was recently published on Nature Synthesis.

Alchivemycin A belongs to a unique class of polyketide natural products isolated from plant-deriv...
