Isolation and expression analysis of the isopropylmalate synthase gene family of Arabidopsis thaliana.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Isopropylmalate synthase (IPMS) is the first enzyme in the leucine biosynthetic pathway. It is the branch point in the biosynthesis of leucine and the other branched-chain amino acids. IPMS is also regulated by negative feedback inhibition by the end-product leucine. There are four highly homologous loci within the Arabidopsis thaliana genome, which contain sequences that code for IPMS. Through library screening and RT-PCR the expression patterns of three of these loci namely IMS1, IMS2, and IMS3 have been isolated and then characterized. cDNAs of IMS2 and IMS3 lacking the 5' chloroplast leader sequence were able to complement a leucine auxotroph of E. coli.

Negative control of Strictisidine synthase like-7 gene on salt stress resistance in Arabidopsis thaliana
Strictosidine synthase-like (SSL) is a group of gene families in the Arabidopsis genome, which whose orthologues in other plants are key enzymes in mono-terpenoid indole-alkaloid biosynthesis pathway. The SSL7 is upregulated upon treatments of Arabidopsis plants with signaling molecules such as SA, methyl jasmonate and ethylene. To find the functional role of the gene, a T-DNA-mediated knockout...
متن کاملIsolation of Brassica napus MYC2 gene and analysis of its expression in response to water deficit stress
Manipulation of stress related transcription factors to improve plant stress tolerance is a major goal of current biotechnology researches. MYC2 gene encodes a key stress-related transcription factor involved in Jasmonate (JA) and abscisic acid (ABA) signaling pathways in Arabidopsis. Brassica napus, as a globally important oilseed crop, is a close relative of Arabidopsis. In the present study...
متن کاملDifferential Expression of Arabidopsis thaliana Acid Phosphatases in Response to Abiotic Stresses
The objective of this research is to identify Arabidopsis thaliana genes encoding acid phosphatases induced by phosphate starvation. Multiple alignments of eukaryotic acid phosphatase amino acid sequences led to the classification of these proteins into four groups including purple acid phosphatases (PAPs). Specific primers were degenerated and designed based on conserved sequences of PAPs isol...
