Triterpene saponins are a diverse group of compounds with a structure consisting of a triterpene aglycone and sugars. Identification of the sugar-transferase involved in triterpene saponin biosynthesis is difficult due to the structural complexity of

Oxidosqualene:protostadienol cyclase (OSPC) from the fungus Aspergillus fumigatus, catalyzes the cyclization of (3S)-2,3-oxidosqualene into protosta-17(20)Z,24-dien-3beta-ol which is the precursor of the steroidal antibiotic helvolic acid. To shed li

Three putative oxidosqualene cyclase (OSC) genes exist in the genome of the fungus Aspergillus fumigatus that produces a steroidal antibiotic, helvolic acid. One of these genes, Afu4g14770, designated AfuOSC3, is clustered with genes of cytochrome P4

A new oxidosqualene cyclase (OSC) cDNA was cloned from the roots of Stevia rebaudiana. Functional expression in yeast and spectral analyses of the products established that the obtained OSC yields baccharis oxide as the major product. This is the fir

Ferns produce a variety of cyclic triterpene hydrocarbons in large amount. Squalene cyclases (SCs) are responsible enzymes for formation of cyclic triterpene hydrocarbon skeletons. Although more than ten bacterial SCs have been cloned and four of the

At1g78500, one of the oxidosqualene cyclase (OSC) homologues from Arabidopsis thaliana, was expressed in a lanosterol synthase-deficient yeast strain and the products were analyzed. In addition to the known triterpenes, this OSC was found to produce

Sterols are important as structural components of plasma membranes and precursors of steroidal hormones in both animals and plants. Plant sterols show a wide structural variety and significant structural differences from those of animals. To elucidat
