The P450SU1 gene from the soil bacteria Streptomyces griseolus encodes CYP105A1 which acts on various substrates including sulfonylurea herbicides vitamin D coumarins and based on the work presented here brassinosteroids. P450SU1 is used as a negative-selection marker in plants because CYP105A1 converts the relatively benign sulfonyl urea pro-herbicide R7402 into a highly phytotoxic product. Consistent with its use for negative selection transgenic Arabidopsis plants were generated with P450SU1 situated between recognition sequences for FLP recombinase from yeast to select for recombinase-mediated excision. However unexpected and prominent developmental aberrations resembling those described for mutants defective in brassinosteroid signaling were observed in many of the lines. Results The phenotypes of the most affected lines included severe stunting leaf curling darkened leaves characteristic of anthocyanin accumulation delayed transition to flowering low pollen and seed yields and delayed senescence. Phenotype severity correlated with P450SU1 transcript abundance but not with transcript abundance of other experimental genes strongly implicating CYP105A1 as responsible for the defects.
