The identification of a gene family in the Saccharomyces cerevisiae ergosterol biosynthesis pathway.
Lai M.H., Bard M., Pierson C.A., Alexander J.F., Goebl M., Carter G.T., Kirsch D.R.

The Saccharomyces cerevisiae ERG24 gene, encoding sterol delta 14 reductase (Erg24p), was cloned by selecting strains carrying sequences on a 2 mu-based vector for resistance to the morpholine fungicide, fenpropimorph (Fp). Four distinct plasmid inserts which conferred Fp resistance (FpR) were recovered (plasmids pML99, pML100, pML101 and pM103). Although Fp is reported to inhibit activity of Erg24p and sterol delta 8-delta 7 isomerase (Erg2p; encoded by ERG2), none of the inserts had restriction maps resembling ERG2. In addition, a 2 mu plasmid overexpression of the ERG2 sequence did not produce FpR. Characterization studies were focused on plasmid pML100, because it was the only plasmid to confer FpR consistently when tested in a number of different genetic backgrounds. Tests with a panel of fungicides indicated that pML100 conferred significant resistance only to compounds (Fp, tridemorph, fenpropidin and azasterol) which have a shared site of action, Erg24p. An insertional disruption of pML100 resulted in an obligate anaerobic phenotype, indicating a lesion in sterol biosynthesis. Sterol analysis of the disrupted mutant demonstrated the accumulation of ignosterol, indicating a loss of Erg24p activity. A SphI-XbaI fragment of pML100 was sequenced, revealing the presence of an ORF encoding a 438-amino-acid protein, which is highly similar to those encoded by two previously reported yeast drug sensitivity genes, sts1+ (Schizosaccharomyces pombe) and YGL022 (S. cerevisiae). Analyses of these genes demonstrated that strains carrying disruptions of sts1+ or YGL022 have ergosterol biosynthesis defects in the enzyme, sterol C-24(28) reductase (Erg4p; encoded by ERG4).(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS) << Less

Biochemical characterization and subcellular localization of the sterol C-24(28) reductase, erg4p, from the yeast saccharomyces cerevisiae.
Zweytick D., Hrastnik C., Kohlwein S.D., Daum G.
The yeast ERG4 gene encodes sterol C-24(28) reductase which catalyzes the final step in the biosynthesis of ergosterol. Deletion of ERG4 resulted in a complete lack of ergosterol and accumulation of the precursor ergosta-5,7,22,24(28)-tetraen-3beta-ol. An erg4 mutant strain exhibited pleiotropic d ... >> More
The yeast ERG4 gene encodes sterol C-24(28) reductase which catalyzes the final step in the biosynthesis of ergosterol. Deletion of ERG4 resulted in a complete lack of ergosterol and accumulation of the precursor ergosta-5,7,22,24(28)-tetraen-3beta-ol. An erg4 mutant strain exhibited pleiotropic defects such as hypersensitivity to divalent cations and a number of drugs such as cycloheximide, miconazole, 4-nitroquinoline, fluconazole, and sodium dodecyl sulfate. Similar to erg6 mutants, erg4 mutants are sensitive to the Golgi-destabilizing drug brefeldin A. Enzyme activity measurements with isolated subcellular fractions revealed that Erg4p is localized to the endoplasmic reticulum. This view was confirmed in vivo by fluorescence microscopy of a strain expressing a functional fusion of Erg4p to enhanced green fluorescent protein. We conclude that ergosterol biosynthesis is completed in the endoplasmic reticulum, and the final product is supplied from there to its membranous destinations. << Less

Sterol 24(28) methylene reductase in Saccharomyces cerevisiae.
Neal W.D., Parks L.W.
Optimal conditions for the 24(28)methylene reductase were obtained. The enzyme assay provided for unusually high activity; the Km was determined to be 10.8 mum. The enzyme activity was increased in cells grown with ethanol as the substrate.
