چکیده
genomic DNAsequence of rice NRhas been reported.4) Wedescribed previously the in vitro synthesis and induction of rice NiR by nitrate, indicating that the induction of the enzyme's activity and protein was brought about at the transcriptional and/or translational level of the NiR gene.5) As a first step in elucidating the gene structure and its regulation of the nitrate-assimilating system in rice, we have

A novel nitrite reductase gene from the cyanobacterium Plectonema boryanum.
The gene (nirA) for nitrite reductase was cloned from the nonheterocystous, filamentous cyanobacterium Plectonema boryanum. The predicted protein consists of 654 amino acids and has a calculated molecular weight of 72,135. The deduced amino acid sequence from positions 1 to 511 is strongly similar to the entire sequence of the ferredoxin-dependent nitrite reductases from other phototrophs, whil...
متن کاملHomology modeling of Ferredoxin-nitrite reductase from Arabidopsis thaliana
UNLABELLED Nitrogen is one of the major growth-limiting nutrients for plants: The main source of nitrogen in most of the higher plants is nitrate taken up through roots. Nitrate can be reduced both in the chloroplasts (photosynthetic tissues) and in proplastes (nonphotosynthetic tissues) such as roots. Ferredoxin-nitrite reductase (NiR) catalyses the reduction of nitrite to ammonium in the seco...
متن کاملIsolation of a rice regeneration quantitative trait loci gene and its application to transformation systems.
Regeneration of plant organs is often the essential step in genetic transformation; however, the regeneration ability of a plant varies depending on the genetic background. By conventional crosses of low-regeneration rice strain Koshihikari with high-regeneration rice strain Kasalath, we identified some quantitative trait loci, which control the regeneration ability in rice. Using a map-based c...
متن کاملSequence of a cDNA encoding rice (Oryza sativa L.) leaf ferredoxin-NADP+ reductase.
FNR (EC 1.18.1.2) catalyzes the final step in the oxygenic photosynthetic electron transport. The enzyme has been purified and extensively characterized (Knaff and Hirasawa, 1991). The enzyme's amino acid sequences have been described for spinach (Karplus et al., 1984; Jansen et al., 1988), pea (Newman and Gray, 1988), and ice plant (Michalowski et al., 1989) as well as other photosynthetic org...
متن کاملPartial Cloning and Nucleotide Sequencing of Glutamate Decarboxylase Gene Isoform 65 from Human Brain
Background: Gamma -aminobutyric acid (GABA), a non-protein amino acid acts as an inhibitory neurotransmitter in the central nervous system of mammalians. The glutamate decarboxylase (GAD) is responsible for the conversion of L-glutamate to GABA. The human brain has two isoforms of this enzyme, GAD65 and GAD67 that differ in molecular weight, amino acid sequence, antigenicity, cellular location ...
