transformant accumulated tricyclic triterpene, (3S,13R)-malabarica-17,21-dien-3,14-diol (arabidiol), whose structure was determined by NMR and MS analyses. Its epoxide analogue, (3S,13R,21S)-malabarica-17-en-20,21-epoxy-3,14-diol (arabidiol 20,21-epoxide), was also isolated from the transformed yeast. This is the first example of a triterpene synthase that yields a tricyclic triterpene with two hydroxyl groups
[结构:见正文]拟南芥基因组中存在13种氧化角鲨烯环化酶同源物。这些基因之一At4g15340通过PCR扩增并在酵母中表达。酵母转化体积累了三环三萜,(3S,13R)-malabarica-17,21-dien-3,14-二醇(阿拉伯糖),其结构通过NMR和MS分析确定。还从转化酵母中分离出其环氧类似物,(3S,13R,21S)-malabarica-17-en-20,21-环氧-3,14-二醇(阿拉伯糖20,21-环氧)。这是三萜合酶的第一个实例,其产生具有两个羟基的三环三萜。
