gene OSC1, DNA and amino acid sequence determination and analysis, sequence comparisons and phylogenetic analysis, quantitative real-time PCR expression analysis of the enzyme in apple fruits, functional recombinant expression in Nicotiana benthamiana via transformation by Agrobacterium tumefaciens strain GV3101 resulting in production of alpha-amyrin, beta-amyrin, and lupeol. MdOSC1 produces predominantly alpha-amyrin, beta-amyrin to a lesser extent, and small amounts of lupeol | Malus domestica |

metabolism | MdOSC1 and MdOSC5 are key genes in apple fruit triterpene biosynthesis, analysis of biosynthetic pathway of triterpenic acids in apple, overview. The gene expression of MdOSC1 is linked to the concentrations of ursolic and oleanolic acid | Malus domestica |
additional information | analysis of triterpenes from apple fruits in a collection of 20 contrasting apple cultivars, expression patterns of triterpene-related genes in different apple cultivars, overview | Malus domestica |
physiological function | the enzyme is involved in the biosynthesis of pentacyclic triterpenes, which, in apple, account for 32-70% of the epicuticular waxes, depending on the cultivar | Malus domestica |
