Abstract:
:Sterols, which are biosynthesized via the cytoplasmic mevalonate (MVA) pathway, are important structural components of the plasma membrane and precursors of steroid hormones in both vertebrates and plants. Ergosterol and cholesterol are the major sterols in yeast and vertebrates, respectively. In contrast, plants produce a wide variety of phytosterols, which have various functions in plant development. Although the general biosynthetic pathway to plant sterols has been defined, the details of the biochemical, physiological, and developmental functions of genes involved in the biosynthetic network and their regulation are not well understood. Molecular genetic analyses are an effective approach to use when studying these fascinating problems. Since three enzymes, 3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl CoA reductase, farnesyl diphosphate synthase, and lanosterol synthase, have been functionally characterized in planta, we reviewed recent progress on these enzymes. Arabidopsis T-DNA and transposon insertion mutants are now widely available. The use of molecular genetics, molecular biology, and bioorganic chemical approaches on these mutants, as well as inhibitors of the MVA pathway, should help us to understand plant sterol biosynthesis comprehensively.
