520 |a 2,3-Oxidosqualene cyclases (OSC) are key enzymes in sterol biosynthesis. They catalyze the stereoselective cyclization and skeletal rearrangement of (3S)-2,3-oxidosqualene to lanosterol in mammals and fungi and to cycloartenol in algae and higher plants. Sequence information and proposed mechanism of 2,3-oxidosqualene cyclases are closely related to those of squalene-hopene cyclases (SHC), which represent functional analogs of OSCs in bacteria. SHCs catalyze the cationic cyclization cascade converting the linear triterpene squalene to fused ring compounds called hopanoids. High stereoselectivity and precision of the skeletal rearrangements has aroused the interest of researchers for nearly half a century, and valuable data on studying mechanistic details in the complex enzyme-catalyzed cyclization cascade has been collected. Today, interest in cyclases is still unbroken, because OSCs became targets for the development of antifungal and hypocholesterolemic drugs. However, due to the large size and membrane-bound nature of OSCs, three-dimensional structural information is still not available, thus preventing a complete understanding of the atomic details of the catalytic mechanism. In this work, we discuss results gained from homology modeling of human OSC based on structural information of SHC from Alicyclobacillus acidocaldarius and propose a structural model of human OSC. The model is in accordance with previously performed experimental studies with mechanism-based suicide inhibitors and mutagenesis experiments with altered activity and product specificity. Structural insight should strongly stimulate structure-based design of antifungal or cholesterol-lowering drugs
