when diketide-CoA synthase (DCS) and curcumin synthase (ZoCURS) are co-incubated in the presence of 3-(4-hydroxyphenyl)propionyl-CoA and malonyl-CoA, tetrahydrobisdemethoxycurcumin and 4-hydroxybenzylacetone are produced
DCS is an allosteric enzyme. Homotropic activation decreases the activity as the substrate concentration decreases more quickly than those exhibiting Michaelis-Menten-type kinetics. Kinetic analysis of DCS, overview

incorporation of curcumin and phenylpentanoids into lignin has a positive effect on saccharification yield after alkaline pretreatment. To design a lignin that is easier to degrade under alkaline conditions, curcumin (diferuloylmethane) is produced in the model plant Arabidopsis thaliana via simultaneous expression of the turmeric genes diketide-CoA synthase (DCS) and curcumin synthase 2 (CURS2). The transgenic plants produce a plethora of curcumin- and phenylpentanoid-derived compounds with no negative impact on growth. Catalytic hydrogenolysis gives evidence that both curcumin and phenylpentanoids are incorporated into the lignifying cell wall, thereby significantly increasing saccharification efficiency after alkaline pretreatment of the transgenic lines by 14-24% as compared with the wild type
method for discriminating Curcuma species by intron length polymorphism markers in genes encoding diketide-CoA synthase and curcumin synthase. By applying this method, and constructing a dendrogram based on these markers, seven Curcuma species are clearly distinguishable and Curcuma longa specimens are geographically distinguishable
method to detect expression differences between species in detail, based on RNA sequencing analysis. The difference in the contents of curcuminoids among the species can be explained by the changes in the expression of genes encoding diketide-CoA synthase, and curcumin synthase at the branching point of the curcuminoid biosynthesis pathway
a curcuminoid producing unnatural fusion protein diketide-CoA synthase:curcumin synthase is constructed. The fusion protein may contribute to further understand the biosynthesis of curcuminoids in ginger but also be advantage to further manipulate the biosynthesis of curcuminoid analogs, particularly including tetrahydrobisdemethoxycurcumin (THBDC) and various dihydrocurcuminoid derivatives in microorganisms

design, construction and optimization of a heterologous pathway to produce curcuminoids in Escherichia coli. This pathway involves six enzymes, tyrosine ammonia lyase (TAL), 4-coumarate 3-hydroxylase (C3H), caffeic acid O-methyltransferase (COMT), 4-coumarate-CoA ligase (4CL), diketide-CoA synthase (DCS), and curcumin synthase (CURS1). Curcumin production is enhanced and reachs 43.2 mM, corresponding to an improvement of 160% comparing to mono-culture system
