Biosynthesis of cholestanol in higher plants

To understand the early steps of C27 brassinosteroid biosynthesis, metabolic experiments were performed with Arabidopsis thaliana and Nicotiana tabacum seedlings, and with cultured Catharanthus roseus cells. [26, 28-2H6]Campestanol, [26-2H3]cholesterol, and [26-2H3]cholestanol were administered to each plant, and the resulting metabolites were analyzed by gas chromatography–mass spectrometry. In all the species examined, [2H3]cholestanol was identified as a metabolite of [2H6]campestanol, and [2H3]cholest-4-en-3-one and [2H3]cholestanol were identified as metabolites of [2H3]cholesterol. This study revealed that cholestanol (C27 sterol) was biosynthesized from both cholesterol (C27 sterol) and campestanol (C28 sterol). It was also demonstrated that cholestanol was converted to 6-oxocholestanol, and campestanol was converted to 6-oxocampestanol.
