| Summary: | <p>(A) <i>C. hualienensis</i> and a schematic view of cyanogenesis. Paranota of the millipede house defensive glands and consist of reservoir and reaction chamber. (<i>R</i>)-Mandelonitrile (MAN) stored in the reservoir is admitted to the reaction chamber, converted by hydroxynitrile lyase (HNL) to hydrogen cyanide (HCN) and benzaldehyde, and released to the outside via ozopores. (B) In arthropods (millipede and burnet moth) and plants, cyanohydrin is commonly synthesised from amino acids via aldoxime and nitrile. Different classes of flavin-dependent monooxygenases (FMO) and cytochrome P450s are responsible for the biosynthesis.</p> |
