Molecular cloning of plant spermidine synthases.
Four cDNAs for spermidine synthase (SPDS), which converts the diamine putrescine to the higher polyamine spermidine using decarboxylated S-adenosylmethionine as the co-factor, were isolated from Nicotiana sylvestris, Hyoscyamus niger, and Arabidopsis thaliana. When the N.sylvestris SPDS cDNA was expressed in a SPDS-deficient E. coli mutant, the recombinant protein showed high SPDS activity, but...
متن کاملMolecular cloning and functional expression of soybean allene oxide synthases.
A plant allene oxide synthase (AOS) reacting with 13S-hydroperoxy-9Z,11E,15Z-octadecatrienoic acid (13-HPOT), a lipoxygenase product of alpha-linolenic acid, provides an allene oxide which functions as an intermediate for jasmonic acid (JA) synthesis, making AOS a key enzyme regulating the JA level in plants. Although AOSs in various plants have been investigated, there is only limited informat...
متن کاملGenomic organization of plant terpene synthases and molecular evolutionary implications.
Terpenoids are the largest, most diverse class of plant natural products and they play numerous functional roles in primary metabolism and in ecological interactions. The first committed step in the formation of the various terpenoid classes is the transformation of the prenyl diphosphate precursors, geranyl diphosphate, farnesyl diphosphate, and geranylgeranyl diphosphate, to the parent struct...
متن کاملMolecular Cloning and Mutagenesis of Rat Glucocerebrosidase Gene
Purpose: The aim of this study was cloning the Gba enzyme in pUCBM21 plasmid, and making frame mutation on it and sequencing it. Materials and methods: mRNA was extracted from mouse spleen and glucocerebrosidase cDNA was synthesized and amplified by PCR with specific primers. cDNA was cloned in pUCBM21 and analyzed by restriction enzymes. A fragment of its sequence was deleted using MscI restr...
متن کاملMolecular architecture of mammalian nitric oxide synthases.
NOSs are homodimeric multidomain enzymes responsible for producing NO. In mammals, NO acts as an intercellular messenger in a variety of signaling reactions, as well as a cytotoxin in the innate immune response. Mammals possess three NOS isoforms--inducible, endothelial, and neuronal NOS--that are composed of an N-terminal oxidase domain and a C-terminal reductase domain. Calmodulin (CaM) activ...
