Abstract excerpt
We have isolated two cDNAs from Arabidopsis thaliana encoding bifunctional 3beta-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase/C-4 decarboxylases (3betaHSD/D) involved in sterol synthesis, termed At3betaHSD/D1 and At3betaHSD/D2. Transformation of the yeast ergosterol auxotroph erg26 mutant, which lacks 3betaHSD/D activity, with the At3betaHSD/D1 isoform or with At3betaHSD/D2 isoform containing a C-terminal At3betaHSD/D1...
