Mating and sexual development in fungi are controlled by molecular mechanisms that are specific for each fungal group. Mating in Phycomyces blakesleeanus and other Mucorales requires pheromones derived from β-carotene. Phycomyces mutants in gene carS accumulate large amounts of β-carotene but do not enter the sexual process. We show that carS encodes a β-carotene-cleaving oxygenase that catalyzes the first step in the biosynthesis of a variety of apocarotenoids, including those that act as pheromones. Therefore carS mutants cannot stimulate their sexual partners, although they respond to them. CarS catalyzes the biosynthesis of a β-ring-containing apocarotenoid that inhibits the activity of the carotenogenic enzyme complex in vegetative cells and provides a feedback regulation for the β-carotene pathway. The carS gene product is a keystone in carotenogenesis and in sexual reproduction. 相似文献

A large field trial conducted in Nepal confirmed a beneficial effect of vitamin A and beta carotene supplementation on maternal mortality. Maternal deaths during pregnancy or within 12 weeks of delivery occurred at rates of 704/100,000 pregnancies (51/7241) in women who received a placebo, 426/100,000 pregnancies (33/7747) in women who received a single oral vitamin A supplement per week, and 361/100,000 pregnancies (26/7201) among those who received weekly oral beta carotene. The relative risks of pregnancy-related mortality were 0.60 (95% confidence interval (CI), 0.37-0.97) for vitamin A and 0.51 (95% CI, 0.30-0.86) for beta carotene. Before widespread vitamin A and beta carotene supplementation programs are implemented, further evaluation is required of the possible hazards to women of childbearing age and their offspring. For example, exposure to vitamin A during pregnancy has been linked to fetal malformations and schizophrenia. 相似文献
