The carbon dioxide concentrating system in C4 photosynthesis allows high net photosynthetic rates (P N) at low internal carbon dioxide concentrations (C i), permitting higher P N relative to stomatal conductance (g s) than in C3 plants. This relation would be reflected in the ratio of C i to external ambient (C a) carbon dioxide concentration, which is often given as 0.3 or 0.4 for C4 plants. For a C a of 360 μmol mol−1 that would mean a C i about 110–140 μmol mol−1. Our field observations made near midday on three weedy C4 species, Amaranthus retroflexus, Echinochloa crus-galli, and Setaria faberi, and the C4 crop Sorghum bicolor indicated mean values of C i of 183–212 μ mol mol−1 at C a = 360 μmol mol−1. Measurements in two other C4 crop species grown with three levels of N fertilizer indicated that while midday values of C i at high photon flux were higher at limiting N, even at high nitrogen C i averaged 212 and 196 μmol mol−1 for Amaranthus hypochondriacus and Zea mays, respectively. In these two crops midday C i decreased with increasing leaf to air water vapor pressure difference. Averaged over all measurement days, the mean C i across all C4 species was 198 μmol mol−1, for a C i/C a ratio of 0.55. Prior measurements on four herbaceous C3 species using the same instrument indicated an average C i/C a ratio of 0.69. Hence midday C i values in C 4 species under field conditions may often be considerably higher and more similar to those of C3 species than expected from measurements made on plants in controlled environments. Reducing g s in C4 crops at low water vapor pressure differences could potentially improve their water use efficiency without decreasing P N.  相似文献

The effect of drought stress (DS) on photosynthesis and photosynthesis-related enzyme activities was investigated in F. pringlei (C3), F. floridana (C3–C4), F. brownii (C4-like), and F. trinervia (C4) species. Stomatal closure was observed in all species, probably being the main cause for the decline in photosynthesis in the C3 species under ambient conditions. In vitro ribulose-1,5-bisphosphate carboxylase/oxygenase (RuBPCO) and stromal fructose 1,6-bisphosphatase (sFBP) activities were sufficient to interpret the net photosynthetic rates (P N), but, from the decreases in P N values under high CO2 (C a = 700 μmol mol− 1) it is concluded that a decrease in the in vivo rate of the RuBPCO reaction may be an additional limiting factor under DS in the C3 species. The observed decline in the photosynthesis capacity of the C3–C4 species is suggested to be associated both to in vivo decreases of RuBPCO activity and of the RuBP regeneration rate. The decline of the maximum P N observed in the C4-like species under DS was probably attributed to a decrease in maximum RuBPCO activity and/or to decrease of enzyme substrate (RuBP or PEP) regeneration rates. In the C4 species, the decline of both in vivo photosynthesis and photosynthetic capacity could be due to in vivo inhibition of the phosphoenolpyruvate carboxylase (PEPC) by a twofold increase of the malate concentration observed in mesophyll cell extracts from DS plants.  相似文献

内蒙古草原常见植物叶片δ13C和δ15N对环境因子的响应   总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2  
刘艳杰  许宁  牛海山 《生态学报》2016,36(1):235-243
在中国东北样带沿线的内蒙古草原地区采集了一些常见植物的叶片样品,并测定其δ13C和δ15N值,分析了其统计学特征以及对环境因子(年平均降雨量和温度)的响应模式。发现东北样带草原区同时存在C3和C4两种不同光合途径的植物,但是C3植物占主导地位,C4植物数量有限。C3植物叶片δ13C随着年平均降雨量和年平均温度的升高而显著降低,反映了此区域C3植物δ13C受控于降水量和温度。C4植物的叶片δ13C值随着降雨量的增多而有轻微升高的趋势,但是C4植物的叶片δ13C值对年平均温度的响应不敏感。不论对C3植物还是C4植物而言,叶片δ15N都随降雨量增加而显著降低,即干旱区的植物叶片δ15N大于湿润地区,这说明降水是影响植物叶片δ15N的一个重要因素。然而两者叶片δ15N对温度的响应不敏感。  相似文献

We determined the interactive effects of irradiance, elevated CO2 concentration (EC), and temperature in carrot (Daucus carota var. sativus). Plants of the cv. Red Core Chantenay (RCC) were grown in a controlled environmental plant growth room and exposed to 3 levels of photosynthetically active radiation (PAR) (400, 800, 1 200 μmol m−2 s−1), 3 leaf chamber temperatures (15, 20, 30 °C), and 2 external CO2 concentrations (C a), AC and EC (350 and 750 μmol mol−1, respectively). Rates of net photosynthesis (P N) and transpiration (E) and stomatal conductance (g s ) were measured, along with water use efficiency (WUE) and ratio of internal and external CO2 concentrations (C i/C a). P N revealed an interactive effect between PAR and C a. As PAR increased so did P N under both C a regimes. The g s showed no interactive effects between the three parameters but had singular effects of temperature and PAR. E was strongly influenced by the combination of PAR and temperature. WUE was interactively affected by all three parameters. Maximum WUE occurred at 15 °C and 1 200 μmol m−2 s− 1 PAR under EC. The C i /C a was influenced independently by temperature and C a. Hence photosynthetic responses are interactively affected by changes in irradiance, external CO2 concentration, and temperature. EC significantly compensates the inhibitory effects of high temperature and irradiance on P N and WUE.  相似文献

Quercus ilex plants grown on two different substrates, sand soil (C) and compost (CG), were exposed to photosynthetic photon flux densities (PPFD) at 390 and 800 μmol(CO2) mol−1 (C390 and C800). At C800 both C and CG plants showed a significant increase of net photosynthetic rate (P N) and electron transport rate (ETR) in response to PPFD increase as compared to C390. In addition, at C800 lower non-photochemical quenching (NPQ) values were observed. The differences between C390 and C800 were related to PPFD. The higher P N and ETR and the lower dissipative processes found in CG plants at both CO2 concentrations as compared to C plants suggest that substrate influences significantly photosynthetic response of Q. ilex plants. Moreover, short-term exposures at elevated CO2 decreased nitrate photo-assimilation in leaves independently from substrate of growth.  相似文献

Response of net photosynthetic rate (P N), stomatal conductance (g s), intercellular CO2 concentration (c i), and photosynthetic efficiency (Fv/Fm) of photosystem 2 (PS2) was assessed in Eucalyptus cladocalyx grown for long duration at 800 (C800) or 380 (C380) μmol mol-1 CO2 concentration under sufficient water supply or under water stress. The well-watered plants at C800 showed a 2.2 fold enhancement of P N without any change in g s. Under both C800 and C380, water stress decreased P N and g s significantly without any substantial reduction of c i, suggesting that both stomatal and non-stomatal factors regulated P N. However, the photosynthetic efficiency of PS2 was not altered. This revised version was published online in June 2006 with corrections to the Cover Date.  相似文献

为研究不同CO2浓度升高和氮肥水平对水稻叶绿素荧光特性的影响,利用由开顶式气室(OTC)组成的CO2浓度自动调控平台开展田间试验。以粳稻9108为试验材料,CO2浓度设置CK(对照,环境大气CO2浓度)、C1(CO2浓度比CK增加160 μmol/mol)和C2(CO2浓度比CK增加200 μmol/mol)3个水平;氮肥设置低氮(N1:10 g/m2)、中氮(N2:20 g/m2)和高氮(N3:30 g/m2)3个水平。结果表明,在低氮条件下,与CK相比,C1处理使拔节期的Fo上升4.8%(P=0.031);C2处理使拔节期的Fo上升6.3%(P=0.015),Fv/Fm下降4.8%(P=0.003),使孕穗期的Fo上升12.7%(P=0.039),Fv/Fo下降18.2%(P=0.039)。在高氮条件下,与CK相比,C2处理使灌浆期的FmFvFv/Fm分别下降3.6%(P=0.039)、4.9%(P=0.013)和1.3%(P=0.039)。在中氮条件下,与CK相比,C1和C2处理的影响不明显。在整个生育期内,CO2浓度升高与施氮处理交互作用对水稻叶绿素荧光特性的影响未到达显著水平。研究表明,大气CO2浓度升高使水稻叶片光系统Ⅱ受损,抑制其电子传递能力、电子受体QA氧化还原情况、最大光化学效率和潜在活性,通过适量施氮可以有效地缓解其负面效应。  相似文献

2型糖尿病患者尿核糖浓度显著高于正常   总被引:4,自引:1,他引:3       下载免费PDF全文
自从Chevreul ME发现糖尿病患者尿液中的糖是葡萄糖,近200年的时间,糖尿病被视为一组以葡萄糖慢性增高为特征的代谢性疾病,而体内广泛存在的核糖与糖尿病之间的关系却被忽略.研究发现核糖可以降低血葡萄糖浓度,曾报道糖尿病患者可以口服核糖.本实验室前期工作表明,核糖能够迅速与蛋白质发生非酶促糖基化,形成具有强烈细胞毒性的糖基化终末产物(advanced glycation end products,AGEs),引起细胞(包括神经细胞)死亡.进一步的实验证明,虽然在给小鼠注射核糖时,血葡萄糖浓度有所降低,但是糖基化血清蛋白和AGEs均显著升高,说明核糖浓度的升高更容易使机体发生非酶促糖基化反应,产生AGEs,从而造成危害.本文采用1-(4-羧基苯基)-3-甲基-5-吡唑酮(MOPBA)结合高效液相色谱,对明确诊断的2型糖尿病患者(n = 30)和同龄健康人(n = 30)尿核糖进行了定量分析,结果显示,MOPBA-核糖衍生物与尿核糖浓度之间呈线性相关(r2=0.999),回收率达99%.经质谱分析显示,HPLC分离的糖尿病患者尿样品中含569.19 u MOPBA衍生物峰(核糖,C27H29N4O10)和599.20 u MOPBA衍生物峰(葡萄糖,C28H31N4O11).2型糖尿病组尿核糖浓度(男性:(134.28?35.09) μmol/L;女性:(97.33?23.68) μmol/L)显著高于正常对照组(男性:(35.99?5.64) μmol/L;女性:(33.72?6.27) μmol/L) (P < 0.001),同时,其尿葡萄糖浓度也显著高于正常对照(P < 0.001).糖尿病患者尿核糖显著高于正常人的现象提示,2型糖尿病不但葡萄糖代谢异常,同时核糖代谢也发生了异常.  相似文献

Glucose isomerase (GI), an enzyme with deserved high potential in the world market. GI plays a major role in high Fructose Corn Syrup Production (HFCS). HFCS is used as a sweetener in food and pharmaceutical industries. Streptomyces are well-known producers of various industrially valuable enzymes, including Glucose isomerase. Currently, recombinant strains have been available for the production of various enzymes, but it has limitation in the large scale production. Therefore, identifying effective streptomyces strains have emerged. The current study, the novel S. lividans RSU26 was isolated from a marine source and optimized its potential to produce glucose isomerase at different physical and chemical conditions. The optimum pH and temperature for GI and biomass production were 7.5 and 35 °C, respectively at 96 h. Characterization study revealed that the approximate molar mass of GI was 43 kDa for monomeric and 170 kDa for tetrameric forms. Kinetic behavior exhibits Km, and Vmax values for the conversion of fructose to glucose conversion were 48.8 mM and 2.54 U mg−1 at 50 °C and glucose to fructose were 29.4 mM and 2.38 U mg−1 at 65 °C protein, respectively. Therefore, the present study suggested that the wild–type S. lividans RSU26 has strong potential to produce glucose isomerase for various industrial applications.  相似文献

Molecular and industrial aspects of glucose isomerase.   总被引:11,自引:0,他引:11       下载免费PDF全文
Glucose isomerase (GI) (D-xylose ketol-isomerase; EC. 5.3.1.5) catalyzes the reversible isomerization of D-glucose and D-xylose to D-fructose and D-xylulose, respectively. The enzyme has the largest market in the food industry because of its application in the production of high-fructose corn syrup (HFCS). HFCS, an equilibrium mixture of glucose and fructose, is 1.3 times sweeter than sucrose and serves as a sweetener for use by diabetics. Interconversion of xylose to xylulose by GI serves a nutritional requirement in saprophytic bacteria and has a potential application in the bioconversion of hemicellulose to ethanol. The enzyme is widely distributed in prokaryotes. Intensive research efforts are directed toward improving its suitability for industrial application. Development of microbial strains capable of utilizing xylan-containing raw materials for growth or screening for constitutive mutants of GI is expected to lead to discontinuation of the use of xylose as an inducer for the production of the enzyme. Elimination of Co2+ from the fermentation medium is desirable for avoiding health problems arising from human consumption of HFCS. Immobilization of GI provides an efficient means for its easy recovery and reuse and lowers the cost of its use. X-ray crystallographic and genetic engineering studies support a hydride shift mechanism for the action of GI. Cloning of GI in homologous as well as heterologous hosts has been carried out, with the prime aim of overproducing the enzyme and deciphering the genetic organization of individual genes (xylA, xylB, and xylR) in the xyl operon of different microorganisms. The organization of xylA and xylB seems to be highly conserved in all bacteria. The two genes are transcribed from the same strand in Escherichia coli and Bacillus and Lactobacillus species, whereas they are transcribed divergently on different strands in Streptomyces species. A comparison of the xylA sequences from several bacterial sources revealed the presence of two signature sequences, VXW(GP)GREG(YSTAE)E and (LIVM)EPKPX(EQ)P. The use of an inexpensive inducer in the fermentation medium devoid of Co2+ and redesigning of a tailor-made GI with increased thermostability, higher affinity for glucose, and lower pH optimum will contribute significantly to the development of an economically feasible commercial process for enzymatic isomerization of glucose to fructose. Manipulation of the GI gene by site-directed mutagenesis holds promise that a GI suitable for biotechnological applications will be produced in the foreseeable future.  相似文献

The kinetic parameters of both glucose isomerization to fructose and immobilized glucose isomerase (GI) inactivation calculated under different conditions are compared and discussed. Utilizing these figures, the possibility of generalizing a linear model, previously proposed for the kinetics of glucose isomerization by immobilized glucose isomerase, is investigated, so as to apply them to whole ranges of temperature and concentrations of actual interest in industrial processes. The proposed model is a satisfactory approximation of the more involved Briggs-Haldane approach and substantially simplifies the problem of optimizing an industrial fixed-bed column for high-fructose corn syrup (HFCS) production.  相似文献

Irreversible thermoinactivation of immobilized glucose isomerase from Streptomyces olivochromogenes has been mechanistically investigated at the pH-optimum of enzymatic activity (pH 8.0). Ligands (high fructose corn syrup and the competitive inhibitor xylitol) greatly stabilize the immobilized enzyme at high temperatures. At 90 degrees C in the presence of 2M xylitol, irreversible inactivation of immobilized glucose isomerase is caused by deamidation of its asparagine/glutamine residues. On the basis of the data obtained, it appears that the time-dependent decay of glucose isomerase activity in industrial bioreactors is brought about by oxidation of the enzyme's cysteine residue and/or heat-induced deleterious reactions with high fructose corn syrup or its impurities.  相似文献

Fructose and glutamate metabolism was monitored in cell suspensions of streptomyces parvulus by 13C nuclear magnetic resonance. The experiments were performed for cells grown with various 13C sources in a growth medium containing D-[U-13C]fructose, L-[13C]glutamate, or L-[U-13C]aspartate and with nonlabeled precursors to compare intracellular pools in S. parvulus cells at different periods of the cell life cycle. The transport of fructose into the cells was biphasic in nature; during rapid transport, mannitol, fructose, and glucose 6-phosphate were accumulated intracellularly, whereas during the passive diffusion of fructose, the intracellular carbohydrate pool comprised mainly trehalose (1,1'-alpha-alpha-D-glucose). The regulation of fructokinase activity by the intracellular intermediates may play an important role in fructose catabolism in S. parvulus. Transaldolase activity in S. parvulus was determined from the 13C nuclear magnetic resonance labeling pattern of trehalose carbons obtained from cells grown in medium containing either L-[U-13C]aspartate or L-[U-13C]glutamate. Only carbons 4, 5, and 6 of the disaccharide were labeled. Isotopomer analysis of the trehalose carbons led us to conclude that the flux through the reverse glycolytic pathway, condensation of glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate with dihydroxyacetone phosphate, makes at best a minor contribution to the 13C-labeled glucose units observed in trehalose. The pentose pathway and transaldolase activity can explain the labeling pattern of 4,5,6-13C3 of trehalose. Moreover, the transfer of the 13C label of L-[U-13C]aspartate into the different isotopomers of trehalose C4, C5, and C6 by the transaldolase activity allowed us to calculate the relative fluxes from oxaloacetate via gluconeogenesis and through the tricarboxylic acid cycle. The ratio of the two fluxes is approximately 1. However, the main carbon source for trehalose synthesis in S. parvulus is fructose and not glutamate or aspartate. The 13C enrichment and isotopomer population, measured by nuclear magnetic resonance and gas chromatography-mass spectrometry, of the actinomycin D peptide ring enabled us to specify the origins of the five amino acids of actinomycin D. Threonine and proline exhibited isotopomer populations similar to that of the extracellular L-[13C]glutamate, indicating that protein catabolism is the origin of their 13C label, whereas the isotopomer populations of sarcosine and N-methylvaline were similar to those of the new intracellular pool of S. parvulus that originated from D-[U-13C]fructose during the production of actinomycin D.  相似文献

Fructose is one of the most abundant monosaccharide in nature. It is also the sweetest naturally occurring carbohydrate. Since decades, fructose used for food preparations is not provided by fruit or vegetable but by a chemical process of starch or inulin conversion. We processed a new method of fructose extraction from apple and investigated the acute and long term effect of this carbohydrate on glucose metabolism in C57Bl6/j mice. By using the glycemic index (GI), we have shown that one of the sugars obtained from apple, FructiLight, has a very low impact on glycemic and insulin response during acute treatment compared to other sugars. This carbohydrate, essentially constituted by fructose, has also beneficial properties when administrated for long term treatment. Indeed, as two other sugars extracted from apple (FructiSweetApple and FructiSweet67), FructiLight exposure during 21 weeks in beverage has promoted an enhancement of glucose tolerance compared to glucose treatment without affecting food intake and weight. All these results indicate that apple-extracted sugars and more precisely fructose from these fruits could be a promising way to produce new food and sweet beverages.  相似文献

High fructose corn syrup (HFCS) is an alternative of liquid sweetener to sucrose that is isomerized by commercial glucose isomerase (GI). One-step production of 55 % HFCS by thermostable GI has been drawn more and more attentions. In this study, a new hyperthermophilic GI from Thermoanaerobacter ethanolicus CCSD1 (TEGI) was identified by genome mining, and then a 1317 bp fragment encoding the TEGI was synthesized and expressed in Escherichia coli BL21(DE3). To improve the activity of TEGI, two amino acid residues, Trp139 and Val186, around the active site and substrate-binding pocket based on the structural analysis and molecular docking were selected for site-directed mutagenesis. The specific activity of mutant TEGI-W139F/V186T was 2.3-fold and the value of k cat/K m was 1.86-fold as compared to the wild type TEGI, respectively. Thermostability of mutant TEGI-W139F/V186T at 90 °C for 24 h showed 1.21-fold extension than that of wild type TEGI. During the isomerization of glucose to fructose, the yield of fructose could maintain above 55.4 % by mutant TEGI-W139F/V186T as compared to 53.8 % by wild type TEGI at 90 °C. This study paved foundation for the production of 55 % HFCS using the thermostable TEGI.  相似文献

The anomeric specificity of D-glucose metabolism in intact hepatocytes remains a matter of debate. This issue was further investigated in the present study, which is based on the quantification of the alpha- and beta-anomers of the 13C-enriched isotopomers of D-glucose generated by rat liver cells exposed to either D-[1-13C] fructose or D-[2-13C] fructose in the presence of D2O. The D-[1-13C]glucose/D-[6-13C]glucose paired ratios found in the cells exposed to D-[1-13C] fructose and the D-[2-13C]glucose/D-[5-13C]glucose paired ratios found in the cells exposed to D-[2-13C] fructose yielded a paired beta/alpha ratio averaging (mean +/- S.E.M.) 79.3 +/- 6.1%. In the case of the isotopomers of D-glucose formed by gluconeogenesis, the D-[2-13C]glucose/D-[5-13C]glucose and D-[3-13C]glucose/D-[4-13C]glucose paired ratios found in cells exposed to D-[1-13C] fructose, as well as the D-[1-13C]glucose/D-[6-13C]glucose and D-[3-13C]glucose/D-[4-13C]glucose paired ratios found in cells exposed to D-[2-13C]fructose, yielded an alpha/beta paired ratio averaging 75.0 +/- 5.8%. Last, in the cells exposed to D-[2-13C]fructose, the beta/alpha ratio for the C2-deuterated isotopomers of D-[2-13C]glucose represented 78.9 +/- 3.7% of that for the C5-deuterated isotopomers of D-[5-13C]glucose. The three values representative of the anomeric specificity of D-glucose production by liver cells were not significantly different from one another, with an overall mean value of 76.9 +/- 3.6%. These findings unambiguously document that the anomeric specificity of phosphoglucoisomerase is operative in intact hepatocytes, resulting in a preferential output of the alpha-anomer of 13C-enriched D-glucose under the present experimental conditions.  相似文献

Phosphoglucose isomerase (PGI) is an enzyme of glycolysis that interconverts glucose 6-phosphate (G6P) and fructose 6-phosphate (F6P) but, outside the cell, is a multifunctional cytokine. High-resolution crystal structures of the enzyme from mouse have been determined in native form and in complex with the inhibitor erythrose 4-phosphate, and with the substrate glucose 6-phosphate. In the substrate-bound structure, the glucose sugar is observed in both straight-chain and ring forms. This structure supports a specific role for Lys518 in enzyme-catalyzed ring opening and we present a "push-pull" mechanism in which His388 breaks the O5-C1 bond by donating a proton to the ring oxygen atom and, simultaneously, Lys518 abstracts a proton from the C1 hydroxyl group. The reverse occurs in ring closure. The transition from ring form to straight-chain substrate is achieved through rotation of the C3-C4 bond, which brings the C1-C2 region into close proximity to Glu357, the base catalyst for the isomerization step. The structure with G6P also explains the specificity of PGI for glucose 6-phosphate over mannose 6-isomerase (M6P). To isomerize M6P to F6P requires a rotation of its C2-C3 bond but in PGI this is sterically blocked by Gln511.  相似文献

Glucose isomerase is an important industrial enzyme that catalyzes the reversible isomerization of glucose to fructose. In this study, the effect of cobalt ions (Co2+) on the catalytic efficiency and thermostability of recombinant glucose isomerase from Thermobifida fusca was analyzed. The activity of glucose isomerase from engineered Escherichia coli supplemented with 1 mM Co2+ (C-GI) reached 41 U/ml, 2.1-fold higher than enzyme prepared from E. coli without additive (GI). The purified C-GI also exhibited an increased specific activity (23.8 U/mg compared to 12.1 U/mg for GI) and a greater thermostability (half-life of 17 h at 75 °C, 11.3-fold higher than GI (1.5 h)). The optimal temperature for C-GI shifted from 80 °C to 85 °C and demonstrated higher activity over pH 7.0–9.0. The kcat/Km value of C-GI (89.3 M?1 s?1) for the isomerization of glucose to fructose was nearly 1.75-fold higher than that of GI. In addition, the engineered cells were immobilized with the method of flocculation-cross linking. The immobilized cells supplemented with 1 mM Co2+ (C-IGI) had a better operational performance than cells without additives (IGI); at the end of 6 cycles, the conversion rate of C-IGI was still 43.1%, meeting the conversion rate requirement.  相似文献
