	abstract = {<p>In this paper, we present the data acquired during transcriptome analysis of the plant Moringa oleifera [1] from five different tissues (root, stem, leaf, flower and seed) by RNA sequencing. A total of 271 million reads were assembled with an N50 of 2094bp. The combined transcriptome was assessed for transcript abundance across five tissues. The protein coding genes identified from the transcripts were annotated and used for orthology analysis. Further, enzymes involved in the biosynthesis of select medicinally important secondary metabolites, vitamins and ion transporters were identified and their expression levels across tissues were examined. The data generated by RNA sequencing has been deposited to NCBI public repository under the accession number PRJNA394193 (https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/bioproject/PRJNA394193).</p>

	abstract = {<p>This protocol describes a stepwise process to identify proteins of interest from a query proteome derived from NGS data. We implemented this protocol on Moringa oleifera transcriptome to identify proteins involved in secondary metabolite and vitamin biosynthesis and ion transport. This knowledge-driven protocol identifies proteins using an integrated approach involving sensitive sequence search and evolutionary relationships. We make use of functionally important residues (FIR) specific for the query protein family identified through its homologous sequences and literature. We screen protein hits based on the clustering with true homologues through phylogenetic tree reconstruction complemented with the FIR mapping. The protocol was validated for the protein hits through qRT-PCR and transcriptome quantification. Our protocol demonstrated a higher specificity as compared to other methods, particularly in distinguishing cross-family hits. This protocol was effective in transcriptome data analysis of M. oleifera as described in Pasha et. al.{\textbullet}Knowledge-driven protocol to identify secondary metabolite synthesizing protein in a highly specific manner.{\textbullet}Use of functionally important residues for screening of true hits.{\textbullet}Beneficial for metabolite pathway reconstruction in any (species, metagenomics) NGS data.</p>

	abstract = {Substrate channeling is a mechanism for the internal transfer of hydrophobic, unstable or toxic intermediates from the active site of one enzyme to another. Such transfer has previously been described to be mediated by a hydrophobic tunnel, the use of electrostatic highways or pivoting and by conformational changes. The enzyme PaaZ is used by many bacteria to degrade environmental pollutants. PaaZ is a bifunctional enzyme that catalyzes the ring opening of oxepin-CoA and converts it to 3-oxo-5,6-dehydrosuberyl-CoA. Here we report the structures of PaaZ determined by electron cryomicroscopy with and without bound ligands. The structures reveal that three domain-swapped dimers of the enzyme form a trilobed structure. A combination of small-angle X-ray scattering (SAXS), computational studies, mutagenesis and microbial growth experiments suggests that the key intermediate is transferred from one active site to the other by a mechanism of electrostatic pivoting of the CoA moiety, mediated by a set of conserved positively charged residues.},
