Abstract

Isofucosterol is a major 4-demethylsterol which has an ethylidene group at C-24 in Arabidopsis thaliana. To evaluate the presence of brassinosteroids (BRs) with the same carbon skeleton as that of isofucosterol, a large quantity of A. thaliana was extracted and purified. GC-MS/selected ion monitoring analysis verified that 6-deoxohomodolichosterone and homodolichosterone are present in Arabidopsis. An enzyme solution prepared from wild type Arabidopsis successfully mediated conversion of 6-deoxohomodolichosterone to homodolichosterone. However, a double mutant cyp85a1/cyp85a2 could not catalyze the conversion, implying that in A. thaliana the C-6 oxidation of 6-deoxohomodolichosterone to homodolichosterone seems to be catalyzed by CYP85A1 and/or CYP85A2. In yeast, both heterologously expressed CYP85A1 and CYP85A2 catalyzed the C-6 oxidation of 6- deoxohomodolichosterone to homodolichosterone, but the conversion rate in CYP85A2/V60/WAT21 was significantly higher than that in CYP85A1/V60/WAT21, indicating that C-6 oxidation of 6-deoxohomodolichosterone to homodolichosterone is mainly catalyzed by CYP85A2 in A. thaliana. Taken together, this study strongly suggests that a biosynthetic pathway for the production of 6-deoxohomodolichosterone and homodolichosterone is functional, and CYP85As have important roles in 24-ethylidene biosynthesis in A. thaliana.
