Application

Application Comment Organism
degradation active site of the yeast SMT has the necessary amino acids to generate products common to SMT catalysis of plants and protozoa, minor perturbations in the active site topography brought about by mutagenesis are sufficient to recognize new substrates Saccharomyces cerevisiae

Protein Variants

Protein Variants Comment Organism
E82L produces plant-like substrate-product profiles Saccharomyces cerevisiae
Y81F produces plant-like substrate-product profiles Saccharomyces cerevisiae

Inhibitors

Inhibitors Comment Organism Structure
24(R,S),25-epiminozymosterol reversible inhibitor, disrupts ergosterol homoeostasis by interrupting methyl addition to C-24 thereby impairing growth Saccharomyces cerevisiae
25-azalanosterol
-
Saccharomyces cerevisiae
26,27-dehydrozymosterol irreversible inhibitor that binds covalently to the SMT, affinitylabels the active site to convert to a product characterized as delta23(24)-sterol Saccharomyces cerevisiae
ergosterol reversible inhibitor Saccharomyces cerevisiae

Fusarium sp. 24-methylene-24,25-dihydrolanosterol + S-adenosyl-L-homocysteine
-
?
additional information minimum requirements for productive binding and formation of catalytically active enzyme-substrate complex must be a substrate that possesses a 3beta-hydroxy group, a planar nucleus, an intact side chain that retains the length of the native substrate zymosterol, a 20-R configuration and a delta24-double bond Saccharomyces cerevisiae ?

-
Trypanosoma brucei fecosterol + S-adenosyl-L-homocysteine
-
?
zymosterol + S-adenosyl-L-methionine a bisubstrate reaction that proceeds by a sequential and noncovalent reaction whereby beta-face methyl addition to the DELTA24-bond and deprotonation of C-28 proceed to give rise to a nucleophilic rearrangement in which H-24 migrates to C-25 on the reface of the substrate double bond in concert with the initial ionization to afford the bound fecosterol Saccharomyces cerevisiae fecosterol + S-adenosyl-L-homocysteine
