The sedoheptulose 7-phosphate cyclases and their emerging roles in biology and ecology

Abstract

Covering up to: 1999–2016

This highlight covers a family of enzymes of growing importance, the sedoheptulose 7-phosphate cyclases, initially of interest due to their involvement in the biosynthesis of pharmaceutically relevant secondary metabolites. More recently, these enzymes have been found throughout Prokarya and Eukarya, suggesting their broad potential biological roles in nature.
