Identification of genes involved in verazine biosynthesis in Veratrum grandiflorum and their heterologous production in Saccharomyces cerevisiae

Abstract Verazine is a verazine-type alkaloid primarily found in plants of the family Melanthiaceae. In addition to its direct antifungal activity, it serves as a key precursor in the biosynthesis of cyclopamine, a potent inhibitor of the Hedgehog signaling pathway. In this study, we sequenced the t...
