The enzyme, beta-amyrin synthase, catalyzing the cyclization of oxidosqualene into beta-amyrin, generates five rings and eight asymmetric centers in a single transformation [1].
Cloning and characterization of a cDNA encoding beta-amyrin synthase involved in glycyrrhizin and soyasaponin biosyntheses in licorice [2].
The yeast transformed with an expression vector containing the open reading frame of GgbAS1 produced beta-amyrin, indicating that GgbAS1 encodes beta-amyrin synthase involved in the glycyrrhizin and soyasaponin biosyntheses in licorice [2].
Northern blot analysis showed that the level of beta-amyrin synthase mRNA was drastically changed in the cultured licorice cells, whereas the mRNA level of cycloartenol synthase was relatively constant [2].
