[DIYbio] Re: Chemical basis for bioluminescence in glowing fungi uncovered

Nice! Now we just need a hispidin biosynthesis pathway...

MetaCyc mentions that hispidin can be produced by styrypyrone synthase, which normally produces bis-noryangonin (an offshoot from the resveratrol biosyntheis pathway):

"However, the enzyme responsible for the catalysis of bisnoryangonin, i.e. styrylpyrone synthase has been partially purified from Equisetum arvense and demonstrated to be different from chalcone oder stilbene synthase. The enzyme also accepts with lower efficiency caffeoyl-CoA which leads to the formation of hispidin (hispidin) representing another styrylpyrone detected in this more primitive gametophyte [Beckert97]."
