gene CAS1, sequence comparisons and phylogenetic tree | Nicotiana benthamiana |
gene CAS1, sequence comparisons and phylogenetic tree, recombinant expression in the Saccharomyces cerevisiae mutant erg7 that lacks an endogenous lanosterol synthase. Upon galactose-induced expression of NtCAS1, yeast cells grown in the presence of exogenous ergosterol display a sterol profile that includes cycloartenol and four other sterols in addition to ergosterol. The major sterol is 24-methylene pollinastanol that accounts for 53% of the total and represents the most probable pathway end-product generated by the yeast steroidogenic machinery, apparently being versatile enough to accept cycloartenol as a substrate | Nicotiana tabacum |

additional information | upon galactose-induced recombinant expression of NtCAS1, yeast cells grown in the presence of exogenous ergosterol display a sterol profile that includes cycloartenol and four other sterols in addition to ergosterol. The major sterol is 24-methylene pollinastanol that accounts for 53% of the total and represents the most probable pathway end-product generated by the yeast steroidogenic machinery, apparently being versatile enough to accept cycloartenol as a substrate. The sterol biosynthetic features of erg7::NtCAS1 are identical to the 9beta,19-cyclopropylsterol biosynthetic segment of protists, algae, or plants. In the presence of ergosterol, erg7 or erg7::NtCAS1 cells display a closely similar growth profile along a range of dilutions, whereas in the absence of ergosterol, only erg7::NtCAS1 is able to grow significantly when compared to yeast mutant erg7 | Nicotiana tabacum |
additional information | virus-induced gene silencing (VIGS) of CAS1 in Nicotianan benthamiana based on gene specific sequences from a Nicotiana tabacum CAS1. A morphogenetic inhibition is developed by PVX::CAS1 Nicotiana benthamiana leaves | Nicotiana benthamiana |

metabolism | the plant sterol pathway exhibits a major biosynthetic difference as compared with that of metazoans. The committed sterol precursor is the pentacyclic cycloartenol (9beta,19-cyclolanost-24-en-3beta-ol) and not lanosterol (lanosta-8,24-dien-3beta-ol) | Nicotiana benthamiana |
