Extended Data Fig. 2. Functional analysis of sea urchin, sea star and sea cucumber OSCs in yeast.

Extended Data Fig. 2

a, Complementation of the LSS-deficient yeast strain (Gil77) with echinoderm OSCs. Yeast transformants spotted undiluted (−), 10- and 100-folds dilution and growth recorded 7 days after spotting. GC-MS total ion chromatograms (TICs) of yeast extracts expressing b, sea star PmLSS and sea urchin SpLSS, c, sea cucumber LDS, d, sea cucumber PS. Superscripts ‘a’ and ‘b’ indicate different accessions of A. japonicus. Peaks marked with asterisks in c and d indicate background modifications of OSC products in yeast. e, GC-MS TICs of yeast extract expressing AjLDSb treated with different concentrations of ketoconazole (CYP51 inhibitor) in the medium (1-50 µg/ml). f-h, GC mass spectra of lanosterol (2), lanostadienol (4) and parkeol (3). pYES2, yeast containing the empty vector (ev). Standards, 2, lanosterol; 4, lanostadienol; 3, parkeol. Ergo = ergosterol, glu = glucose and gal = galactose.
