Abstract excerpt
The Cys703 to Ile or His mutation within Saccharomyces cerevisiae oxidosqualene-lanosterol cyclase ERG7 (ERG7(C703I/H)) generates an unusual truncated bicyclic rearranged intermediate, (8R,9R,10R)-polypoda-5,13E,17E,21-tetraen-3β-ol, related to iridal-skeleton triterpenoid. Numerous oxidosqualene-cyclized truncated intermediates, including tricyclic, unrearranged tetracyclic with 17α/β exocyclic hydrocarbon side...
