TAIR Curator Summary | Encodes a hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase shown to act as a NADP+-dependent 11β-,17β-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase/17β-ketosteroid reductase called HSD1. Two copies of HSD1 (At5g50600 and At5g50700) exist in the Arabidopsis genome as a result of an exact 33-kb duplication on chromosome 5 encompassing seven genes. There are five homologs of HSD1 in Arabidopsis (HSD2-At3g47350, HSD3-At3g47360, HSD4-At5g50590, HSD4-At5g50690 and HSD6-At5g50770; HSD4 has two copies due to the same gene duplication event occurred to HSD1) (Plant Cell Physiology 50:1463). At5g50690 is also named as HSD7 (Plant Physiology 145:87). HSD1 is identified from the proteome of oil bodies from mature seeds. Transcription of HSD1 is specifically and highly induced in oil-accumulating tissues of mature seeds; transcript disappears during germination. To date, the endogenous substrates of this enzyme are not known. |
