An Intronless β-amyrin Synthase Gene is More Efficient in Oleanolic Acid Accumulation than its Paralog in Gentiana straminea
Paralogous members of the oxidosqualene cyclase (OSC) family encode a diversity of enzymes that are important in triterpenoid biosynthesis. This report describes the isolation of the Gentiana straminea gene GsAS2 that encodes a β-amyrin synthase (βAS) enzyme. Unlike its previously isolated paralog GsAS1, GsAS2 lacks introns. Its predicted protein product was is a 759 residue polypeptide that sh...
متن کاملthalidomide is more efficient than sodium butyrate in enhancing gata-1 and eklf gene expression in erythroid progenitors derived from hscs with β-globin gene mutation
background: efficient induction of fetal hemoglobin (hbf) is considered as an effective therapeutic approach in beta thalassemia. hbf inducer agents can induce the expression of γ-globin gene and produce high levels of hbf via different epigenetic and molecular mechanisms. thalidomide and sodium butyrate are known as hbf inducer drugs. material and methods : cd133 + stem cells were isolated fro...
متن کاملβ‐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 کاملQuantification of Oleanolic acid in the flower of Gentiana olivieri Griseb. by HPLC
High Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC) method is a potent analytical technique for determining phytoconstituents even in minute quantities particularly that are generally present in traces concentrations in medicinal plants. The concentration of oleanolic acid (OA) in the Gentiana olivieri Griseb.(GOG) flowers is quantitatively determined by a simple, precise and accurate HPLC method. HP...
