The Arabidopsis dwf7/ste1 mutant is defective in the delta7 sterol C-5 desaturation step leading to brassinosteroid biosynthesis.
Lesions in brassinosteroid (BR) biosynthetic genes result in characteristic dwarf phenotypes in plants. Understanding the regulation of BR biosynthesis demands continued isolation and characterization of mutants corresponding to the genes involved in BR biosynthesis. Here, we present analysis of a novel BR biosynthetic locus, dwarf7 (dwf7). Feeding studies with BR biosynthetic intermediates and...
متن کاملLipid Signaling in Plants. Cloning and Expression Analysis of the Obtusifoliol 14a-Demethylase from Solanum chacoense Bitt., a Pollination- and Fertilization-Induced Gene with Both Obtusifoliol and Lanosterol Demethylase Activity
The sterol 14a-demethylase (CYP51) is the most widely distributed cytochrome P450 gene family being found in all biological kingdoms. It catalyzes the first step following cyclization in sterol biosynthesis, leading to the formation of precursors of steroid hormones, including brassinosteroids, in plants. Most enzymes involved in the plant sterol biosynthesis pathway have been characterized bio...
متن کاملTriadimefon, a fungicidal triazole-type P450 inhibitor, induces brassinosteroid deficiency-like phenotypes in plants and binds to DWF4 protein in the brassinosteroid biosynthesis pathway.
Triadimefon (Bayleton), a widely used triazole-type fungicide, affects gibberellin (GA) biosynthesis and 14 alpha-demethylase in sterol biosynthesis. The present study revealed that the phenotype of Arabidopsis treated with triadimefon resembled that of a brassinosteroid (BR)-biosynthesis mutant, and that the phenotype was rescued by brassinolide (BL), the most active BR, partly rescued by GA, ...
متن کاملMicrosomal enzymes of cholesterol biosynthesis from lanosterol. Purification and characterization of delta 7-sterol 5-desaturase of rat liver microsomes.
Microsomal delta 7-sterol 5-desaturase of cholesterol biosynthesis is a multienzyme system which catalyzes the introduction of the delta 5-bond into delta 7-cholestenol to form 7-dehydrocholesterol. The detergent-solubilized 5-desaturase has been purified more than 70-fold and resolved from electron carriers and other rat liver microsomal enzymes of sterol biosynthesis by chromatography on DEAE...
متن کاملSpecific sterols required for the internalization step of endocytosis in yeast.
Sterols are major components of the plasma membrane, but their functions in this membrane are not well understood. We isolated a mutant defective in the internalization step of endocytosis in a gene (ERG2) encoding a C-8 sterol isomerase that acts in the late part of the ergosterol biosynthetic pathway. In the absence of Erg2p, yeast cells accumulate sterols structurally different from ergoster...
