β‐Amyrin synthase from Conyza blinii expressed in Saccharomyces cerevisiae
Conyza blinii H.Lév. is a widely used medicinal herb in southwestern China. The main pharmacological components of C. blinii are a class of oleanane-type pentacyclic triterpene glycosides known as conyzasaponins, which are thought to be synthesized from β-amyrin. However, no genes involved in the conyzasaponin pathway have previously been identified. Here, we identify an oxidosqualene cyclase (...
متن کاملCloning and characterization of a β-amyrin synthase gene from the medicinal tree Aralia elata (Araliaceae).
Aralia elata is an important medicinal plant in China; it produces large amounts of oleanane type triterpene saponins. A full-length cDNA encoding β-amyrin synthase (designated as AeAS) was isolated from young leaves of A. elata by reverse transcription-PCR. The full-length cDNA of AeAS was found to have a 2292-bp open reading frame, encoding a protein with 763 amino acid residues. The ded...
متن کاملPurification and characterization of CDP-diacylglycerol synthase from Saccharomyces cerevisiae.
The membrane-associated phospholipid biosynthetic enzyme CDP-diacylglycerol synthase (CTP:phosphatidate cytidylyltransferase, EC 2.7.7.41) was purified 2,300-fold from Saccharomyces cerevisiae. The purification procedure included Triton X-100 solubilization of mitochondrial membranes, CDP-diacylglycerol-Sepharose affinity chromatography, and hydroxylapatite chromatography. The procedure resulte...
متن کاملGenetic Diversity of Wild Conyza Blinii H.lév. Based on Rapd and Srap Markers
The genetic diversity and genetic relationships among 16 populations of Conyza blinii in the Panxi area of China were assessed by RAPD and SRAP markers. Relative to independent molecular markers, the combined RAPD-SRAP data showed a more reasonable cluster (r = 0.80718), and the clustering results divided the 16 populations into three groups. One major group was formed by populations from Pzhih...
متن کاملBiochemical characterization and regulation of cardiolipin synthase in Saccharomyces cerevisiae.
Cardiolipin (CL) synthase activity was characterized in mitochondrial extracts of the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae and was shown for the first time to utilize CDP-diacylglycerol as a substrate. CL synthase exhibited a pH optimum of 9.0. Maximal activity was obtained in the presence of 20 mM magnesium with a Triton X-100: phospholipid ratio of 1:1. The apparent Km values for phosphatidylglycer...
