Metabolic pathways leading to the production of PHB, P(HB-co-HV) and mclPHA in plants
{"Image DocumentName": "Metabolic pathways leading to the production of PHB, P(HB-co-HV) and mclPHA in plants", "Image ImageDescription": "The pathway for PHB synthesis from acetyl-CoA (top left) has been implemented in the cytosol, plastid and peroxisome. The pathway for P(HB-co-HV) synthesis in the plastid was created by combining the PHB biosynthesis pathway with a pathway generating 3-propionyl-CoA via a threonine deaminase and pyruvate decarboxylase (top right). Synthesis of P(HB-co-HV) in the cytosol involves an unidentified source of propionyl-CoA or 3-hydroxyvaleryl-CoA. Other PHA co-polymers, such as mclPHA, have been mainly synthesized in the peroxisome using the 3-hydroxyacyl-CoA intermediates generated by the b-oxidation cycle (bottom left). Synthesis of mclPHA from the conversion of R-3-hydroxyacyl-ACP to R-3-hydroxyacyl-CoA is achieved via a bacterial 3-hydroxyacyl-CoA\u2013ACP transacylase (bottom right).", "Image XResolution": "37", "Image YResolution": "37", "Image ResolutionUnit": "Pixels/Centimeter", "Image Software": "SlidePlayer", "Image YCbCrPositioning": "Centered"}
