Excised shoots and cell-free extracts prepared from Wedgwood iris (Iris hollandica Hoog. "Wedgwood") shoots metabolized (14)C-labeled mevalonic acid (MVA). By using cell-free extracts, the (14)C from MVA-1-(14)C was recovered as (14)CO(2), while that from MVA-2-(14)C was recovered as neutral terpenes, acid-hydrolyzable terpenes, or (14)CO(2). Also, under optimal incubation conditions, 12.8 nanomoles R-MVA-2-(14)C was incorporated into neutral terpenes per milligram fresh weight per hour. In contrast, excised shoots incorporated only 0.58 nanomoles R-MVA-2-(14)C per mg fresh weight per hour. Labeled products identified from the cell-free system were squalene, farnesol, geranylgeraniol, and compounds that are converted to farnesol and geranylgeraniol after alkaline hydrolysis. Squalene and a 4,4-dimethylsterol were identified as products from excised shoots but not the terpene alcohols or the alkaline-hydrolyzable compounds.
从威格伍德鸢尾(Iris hollandica Hoog. "Wedgwood")芽中提取的外植体和无细胞提取物代谢(14)C 标记的甲羟戊酸(MVA)。使用无细胞提取物,MVA-1-(14)C 的(14)C 被回收为(14)CO2,而 MVA-2-(14)C 的(14)C 被回收为中性萜烯、酸可水解萜烯或(14)CO2。此外,在最佳孵育条件下,每毫克鲜重每小时可将 12.8 纳摩尔 R-MVA-2-(14)C 掺入中性萜烯中。相比之下,外植体仅每毫克鲜重每小时掺入 0.58 纳摩尔 R-MVA-2-(14)C。从无细胞系统中鉴定出的标记产物有角鲨烯、法呢醇、香叶基香叶醇以及经碱水解转化为法呢醇和香叶基香叶醇的化合物。角鲨烯和 4,4-二甲基固醇被鉴定为外植体的产物,但不是萜烯醇或可碱水解的化合物。
