Abstract excerpt
2,3-Oxidosqualene (OS) cyclase (OSC) catalyzes the conversion of OS to lanosterol, an essential step in the biosynthesis of sterols. The Candida albicans gene (ERG7) encoding OSC was cloned by complementation of a Saccharomyces cerevisiae OSC mutant (erg7). Two different Erg+ clones were isolated that contain a common overlapping region. The minimum region required for complementation was determined to be approx....
