Ergosterol-induced sesquiterpenoid synthesis in tobacco cells.
Plants have the ability to continuously respond to microbial signals in their environment. One of these stimuli is a steroid from fungal membranes, ergosterol, which does not occur in plants, but acts as a pathogen-associated molecular pattern molecule to trigger defence mechanisms. Here we investigated the effect of ergosterol on the secondary metabolites in tobacco (Nicotiana tabacum) cells b...
متن کاملBiogenesis of yeast sterols. IV. Transmethylation in ergosterol synthesis.
Methionine was found to be more efficient than formate, serine, bicarbonate, formaldehyde, or choline as a source of the C-28 methyl group of ergosterol in yeast (1). While transfer of an intact methyl group to carbon has not been previously recorded, oxidation of the methyl group of methionine to formate has been demonstrated and formate-Cl* has been shown to give rise to C-28 of ergosterol (2...
متن کاملAntifungal Activity of Carvacrol on Ergosterol Synthesis in Multidrug Resistant Candida albicans
Introduction: Greatly increased use of antifungal therapies has resulted in the development of multidrug resistant. The phenolic compound carvacrol have been reported to have anti-Candida activity. This work is an attempt to examine effect of carvacrol on ergosterol synthesis against multidrug resistant Candida albicans. Methods: This cross-sectional study has been conducted on 30 immune-compr...
متن کاملMulti-Platform Metabolomic Analyses of Ergosterol-Induced Dynamic Changes in Nicotiana tabacum Cells
Metabolomics is providing new dimensions into understanding the intracellular adaptive responses in plants to external stimuli. In this study, a multi-technology-metabolomic approach was used to investigate the effect of the fungal sterol, ergosterol, on the metabolome of cultured tobacco cells. Cell suspensions were treated with different concentrations (0-1000 nM) of ergosterol and incubated ...
متن کاملErgosterol Alleviates Kidney Injury in Streptozotocin-Induced Diabetic Mice
Ergosterol (ERG) has been widely used in the development of novel drugs due to its unique physiological function. However, little is known about the protective effects of ERG on diabetes. Hence, the current study was designed to evaluate the positive role of ergosterol on streptozotocin- (STZ-) induced diabetes in mice. Oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT) was carried out to assess blood glucose ...
