Biosynthesis of the side-chain of sitosterol in higher plants involves two methylation steps by attack of Sadenosylmethionine. The stereochemical features of the second methylation, namely, of the conversion from 24methylenecholesterol to isofucosterol in higher plants has been investigated. Feeding
Using a homogenate prepared from Escherichiacoli cells that express the sterol methyl transferase (SMT) gene of Arabidqmis thaliana,migration of the hydrogen atom at C-24 to C-25 from the Re-face of the double bond was demonstmted in the biosynthesis of [27-13C] 24(28)-methylenezymosterol (fecostero
The isolation, structure determination and synthesis of 23{R),24{R)-methylene-:holesterol--a possible biosynthetic precursor of brassicasterol--is described. We had earlier suggested that cyclopropylsterols may be biosynthetic intermediates in the alkylation of marine sterols 2 . In this communicat
