Cardenolides, which are used for the treatment of congestive heart failure, are still produced by extraction from plants. A more efficient way to produce cardenolides could be achieved by a yeast-based metabolic engineering approach [1]. However, several steps in cardenolide biosynthesis still need to be elucidated.Malonyl-coenzymeA: 21-hydroxypregnane 21-O-Malonyltransferase (21MaT) catalyzes the formation of pregnane-21-O-malonyl hemiesters from pregnane precursors. Even though a 21MaT from D. purpurea has already been characterized [2], no 21MaT gene could be identified as yet.
