Tobacco chloroplast transformants expressing genes encoding dehydroascorbate reductase, glutathione reductase, and glutathione-S-transferase, exhibit altered anti-oxidant metabolism and improved abiotic stress tolerance.
One approach to understanding the Reactive Oxygen Species (ROS)-scavenging systems in plant stress tolerance is to manipulate the levels of antioxidant enzyme activities. In this study, we expressed in the chloroplast three such enzymes: dehydroascorbate reductase (DHAR), glutathione-S-transferase (GST) and glutathione reductase (GR). Homoplasmic chloroplast transformants containing either DHAR...
متن کاملPea chloroplast glutathione reductase: purification and characterization.
Glutathione reductase (EC 1.6.4.2) was purified from intact pea (Pisum sativum) chloroplasts by a method which includes affinity chromatography on ADP-agarose. Fractions from the affinity column which had glutathione reductase activity consisted of polypeptides of 60 and 32 kilodaltons. Separation of the proteins by electrophoresis on native gels showed that glutathione reductase activity was a...
متن کاملAntioxidative responses of tobacco expressing a bacterial glutathione reductase.
Reports on stress response of tobacco expressing a bacterial glutathione reductase (GR) do not agree. To clarify this situation we investigated several parameters using the tobacco BelW3 line and its transformant BelW3gor expressing an E. coli GR. This alteration in the activity of GR led to an ambiguous modification of the antioxidative system. In contrast to the wild type, the transgenic toba...
متن کاملEffect of Atrazine on Glutathione Levels, Glutathione S-Transferase and Glutathione Reductase Activities in Pea and Wheat Plants
M����� L.P-E., I����� S.V., A������� V.S., K������ E.N. (2004): Effect of atrazine on glutathione levels, glutathione S-transferase and glutathione reductase activities in pea and wheat plants. Plant Protect. Sci., 40: 16–20. Changes were studied in the endogenous level of glutathione (total and oxidised), and in the amount of free thiol groups as caused by the herbicide atrazine on two species...
متن کاملSoybean root nodule cDNA encoding glutathione reductase.
GSH is widely distributed in organisms and has diverse functions in protein synthesis, sulfur storage, and protection against a variety of stresses (Meister and Anderson, 1983). GR (EC 1.6.4.2) is a flavoprotein that catalyzes the reduction of GSSG to reduced GSH using NADPH as the reducing cofactor. It is a key enzyme in the GSH-ascorbate cycle, which provides protection against oxidative stre...
