From: Distinct triterpene synthases in the laticifers of Euphorbia lathyris
Alignment of higher plant OSCs implied in tetracyclic triterpene synthesis. Multiple sequence alignments were performed with MacVector software using the ClustalW program and BLOSUM 62 matrix. Important conserved or variable amino acid residues and motifs are shown. Lanosterol synthases (LAS1) accessions are: A. thaliana, At3g4513039,40; L. japonicus, AB244671.140; M. truncatula, XP_013453255.173; E. lathyris, this work; Cycloartenol synthases (CAS1) accessions are: A. thaliana, At2g0705025; L. japonicus, BAE53431 (Sawai et al., 2004); M. truncatula, XP_00361094773; E. lathyris, this work. Non-steroidal tetracyclic triterpene synthases accessions are: E. lathyris, BUT1, this work; A. thaliana baruol synthase BARS, At4g1537045; A. thaliana tirucalledienol synthase LUP5, At1g6696074; A. thaliana tirucalladienol TIRS/PEN3, At5g3615052; P. ginseng damarenediol-II synthase/PNA54, AB265170.
