  • Title: Triterpene cyclases from Oryza sativa L.: cycloartenol, parkeol and achilleol B synthases.
    Author: Ito R, Mori K, Hashimoto I, Nakano C, Sato T, Hoshino T.
    Journal: Org Lett; 2011 May 20; 13(10):2678-81. PubMed ID: 21526825.
    Abstract:
    The gene products of AK121211, AK066327, and AK070534 from Oryza sativa encode cycloartenol, parkeol, and achilleol B synthases, respectively. Parkeol synthase is a unique enzyme that affords parkeol as a single product. Achilleol B synthase is the third seco-type triterpene cyclase identified to date, and triterpenes produced by this synthase include achilleol B (90%), tetracyclic (5.12%) and pentacyclic scaffolds (4.37%), and unidentified triterpenes (0.51%). The pathway for achilleol B biosynthesis is proposed.
