Various amino acids, including both L- and D-enantiomers, may be present in soils, and recent studies have indicated that plants may access such nitrogen (N) forms. Here, the capacity of Arabidopsis to utilize different L- and D-amino acids is investigated and the constraints on this process are explored. Mutants defective in the lysine histidine transporter 1 (LHT1) and transgenic plants overexpressing LHT1 as well as plants expressing D-amino acid-metabolizing enzymes, were used in studies of uptake and growth on various N forms. Arabidopsis absorbed all tested N-forms, but D-enantiomers at lower rates than L-forms. Several L- but no D-forms were effective as N sources. Plants deficient in LHT1 displayed strong growth reductions and plants overexpressing LHT1 showed strong growth enhancement when N was supplied as amino acids, in particular when these were supplied at low concentrations. Several D- amino acids inhibited growth of wild-type plants, while transgenic Arabidopsis-expressing genes encoding D-amino acid-metabolizing enzymes could efficiently utilize such compounds for growth. These results suggest that several amino acids, and in particular L-Gln and L-Asn, promote growth of Arabidopsis, and increased expression of specific amino acid transporters enhances growth on amino acids. The efficiency by which transgenic plants exploit D-amino acids illustrates how plants can be engineered to utilize specific N sources otherwise inaccessible to them. 相似文献

Role of Amino Acids in Plant Responses to Stresses 总被引:7,自引:0,他引:7
V.K. Rai 《Biologia Plantarum》2002,45(4):481-487
Plants subjected to stress show accumulation of proline and other amino acids. The role played by accumulated amino acids in plants varies from acting as osmolyte, regulation of ion transport, modulating stomatal opening, and detoxification of heavy metals. Amino acids also affect synthesis and activity of some enzymes, gene expression, and redox-homeostasis. These roles played by amino acids have been critically examined and reviewed. 相似文献

Branched-chain amino acid metabolism in higher plants 总被引:3,自引:0,他引:3
Valine, leucine and isoleucine contain short branched carbohydrate residues responsible for their classification as branched-chain amino acids (BCAA). Among the proteinogenic amino acids, BCAA show the highest hydrophobicity and are accordingly the major constituents of transmembrane regions of membrane proteins. BCAA cannot be synthesized by humans and thus belong to the essential amino acids. In contrast, plants are able to synthesize these amino acids de novo and are an important source for these compounds in the human diet. However, BCAA cannot only be synthesized in plants, leucine and probably also valine and isoleucine can also be degraded. Many enzymes operating in turnover are found in mitochondria, while some catabolizing activities are located in peroxisomes. The breakdown of BCAA is physically separated from their biosynthesis in chloroplasts. Additionally, in the order of the Capparales, enzymes of the leucine metabolism seem to be evolutionary related to or may even participate in the methionine chain elongation pathway, the early part of the biosynthesis of aliphatic glucosinolates. In summary, in higher plants a complex network of pathways interferes with the homeostasis of Val, Leu and Ile. 相似文献

Analysis of the isopentenyl diphosphate isomerase gene family from Arabidopsis thaliana 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
Campbell Michael Hahn Frederick M. Poulter C. Dale Leustek Thomas 《Plant molecular biology》1998,36(2):323-328
Two Arabidopsis thaliana cDNAs (IPP1 and IPP2) encoding isopentenyl diphosphate isomerase (IPP isomerase) were isolated by complementation of an IPP isomerase mutant strain of Saccharomyces cerevisiae. Both cDNAs encode enzymes with an amino terminus that may function as a transit peptide for localization in plastids. At least 31 amino acids from the amino terminus of the IPP1 protein and 56 amino acids from the amino terminus of the IPP2 protein are not essential for enzymatic activity. Genomic DNA blot analysis confirmed that IPP1 and IPP2 are derived from a small gene family in A. thaliana. Based on northern analysis expression of both cDNAs occurs predominantly in roots of mature A. thaliana plants grown to the pre-flowering stage. 相似文献

Expression of an Aspartate Kinase Homoserine Dehydrogenase Gene Is Subject to Specific Spatial and Temporal Regulation in Vegetative Tissues,Flowers, and Developing Seeds 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1 下载免费PDF全文
Although the regulation of amino acid synthesis has been studied extensively at the biochemical level, it is still not known how genes encoding amino acid biosynthesis enzymes are regulated during plant development. In the present report, we have used the [beta]-glucuronidase (GUS) reporter gene to study the regulation of expression of an Arabidopsis thaliana aspartate kinase-homoserine dehydrogenase (AK/HSD) gene in transgenic tobacco plants. The polypeptide encoded by the AK/HSD gene comprises two linked key enzymes in the biosynthesis of aspartate-family amino acids. AK/HSD-GUS gene expression was highly stimulated in apical and lateral meristems, lateral buds, young leaves, trichomes, vascular and cortical tissues of growing stems, tapetum and other tissues of anthers, pollen grains, various parts of the developing gynoecium, developing seeds, and, in some transgenic plants, also in stem and leaf epidermal trichomes. AK/HSD-GUS gene expression gradually dimished upon maturation of leaves, stems, floral tissues, and embryos. GUS expression was relatively low in roots. During seed development, expression of the AK/HSD gene in the embryo was coordinated with the initiation and onset of storage protein synthesis, whereas in the endosperm it was coordinated with the onset of seed desiccation. Upon germination, AK/HSD-GUS gene expression in the hypocotyl and the cotyledons was significantly affected by light. The expression pattern of the A. thaliana AK/HSD-GUS reporter gene positively correlated with the levels of aspartate-family amino acids and was also very similar to the expression pattern of the endogenous tobacco AK/HSD mRNA as determined by in situ hybridization. 相似文献

Summary We have cloned and sequenced the Escherichia coli K-12 ppsA gene. The ppsA gene codes for PEP synthase, which converts pyruvate into phosphoenolpyruvate (PEP), an essential step in gluconeogenesis when pyruvate or lactate are used as a carbon source. The open reading frame consists of 792 amino acids and shows homology with other phosphohistidine-containing enzymes that catalyze the conversion between pyruvate and PEP. These enzymes include pyruvate, orthophosphate dikinases from plants and Bacteroides symbiosus and Enzyme I of the bacterial PEP:carbohydrate phosphotransferase system. 相似文献
