Epimerisation of chiral hydroxylactones by short-chain dehydrogenases/reductases accounts for sex pheromone evolution in nasonia

HIGHLIGHTS

• who: Joachim Ruther from the InstitutUniversity of have published the research work: Epimerisation of chiral hydroxylactones by short-chain dehydrogenases/reductases accounts for sex pheromone evolution in Nasonia, in the Journal: Scientific Reports Scientific Reports
• what: The authors propose a similar mechanism for the stereochemical inversion at carbon atom five of the hydroxylactones catalysed by the Nasonia SDRs (Fig 7).
• how: The authors studied the functional expression of SDR genes in the pheromone glands of 1-2 d old males of either species by a proteomic approach using LC-MS/MS. To this . . .
