Multiple Isoforms of Endosperm Sucrose Synthase from Guichao Rice
Sucrose synthase activity in rice is potentially yield limiting. This is because the carbon that forms starch enters the developing rice grain as sucrose and that sucrose must be broken down to form the precursors of starch. The enzyme that breaks down sucrose in the filling rice grain is sucrose synthase. Earlier research efforts on rice physiology indicated that endosperm sucrose-synthase act...
متن کاملNMDAR1 glutamate receptor subunit isoforms in neostriatal, neocortical, and hippocampal nitric oxide synthase neurons.
Nitric oxide (NO), an unconventional and diffusible neurotransmitter, is synthesized by nitric oxide synthase (NOS). NMDA glutamate receptors are potent regulators of NO synthesis. We have used dual-label immunofluorescence and confocal microscopy to examine forebrain neurons in the rat that contain high levels of neuronal NOS (nNOS) for the presence of the NMDAR1 receptor subunit protein and r...
متن کاملTissue Distribution of Glutamate Synthase and Glutamine Synthetase in Rice Leaves : Occurrence of NADH-Dependent Glutamate Synthase Protein and Activity in the Unexpanded, Nongreen Leaf Blades.
To further explore the function of NADH-dependent glutamate synthase (GOGAT), the tissue distribution of NADH-GOGAT protein and activity was investigated in rice (Oryza sativa L.) leaves. The distributions of ferredoxin (Fd)-dependent GOGAT, plastidic glutamine synthetase, and cytosolic glutamine synthetase proteins were also determined in the same tissues. High levels of NADH-GOGAT protein (33...
متن کاملPurification, Characterization, and Immunological Properties of NADH-Dependent Glutamate Synthase from Rice Cell Cultures.
To obtain a monospecific antibody against NADH-dependent glutamate synthase (NADH-GOGAT; EC 1.4.1.14), the enzyme was purified to homogeneity from cultured rice cells (Oryza sativa) with column chromatography using Butyl Toyopearl 650M, Sephacryl S-300, Blue Sepharose CL-6B, and Butyl Toyopearl 650S. The specific activity at the final stage of the purification was 9.8 micromoles of glutamate fo...
متن کاملProstaglandin endoperoxide synthase: why two isoforms?
Prostaglandin endoperoxide synthase-1 [prostaglandin G/H synthase-1 (PGHS-1)] and PGHS-2 are key enzymes in the conversion of arachidonic acid to prostaglandins and other eicosanoids. We refer to these isoforms as cyclooxygenase-1 (COX-1) and COX-2 in this review. This brief review focuses on recent developments in the study of these enzymes. Alterations in the expression levels of COX-2 result...
