The pentacyclic triterpenes, in particular ursolic acid and oleanolic acid and their derivatives, exist abundantly in the plant kingdom, where they are well known for their anti-inflammatory, antitumour and antimicrobial properties. | IFEBS Journal An unusual plant triterpene synthase with predominant a-amyrin-producing activity identified by characterizing oxidosqualene cyclases from Malus X domestica Cyril Brendolise1 Yar-Khing Yauk1 Ellen D.

We identified three full-length expressed sequence tag sequences in cDNA libraries constructed from apple Malus X domestica Royal Gala that were likely to encode triterpene synthases. Two of these expressed sequence tag sequences were essentially identical 99 amino acid similarity MdOSCl and MdOSC3 . MdOSC1 and MdOSC2 were expressed by transient expression in Nicotiana benthamiana leaves and by expression in the yeast Pichia methanolica. The resulting products were analysed by GC and GC-MS. MdOSC1 was shown to be a mixed amyrin synthase a 5 1 ratio of a-amyrin to b-amyrin . MdOSC1 is the only triterpene synthase so far identified in which the level of a-amyrin produced is 80 of the total product and is therefore primarily an a-amyrin .
