Effect of pollination or treatment with growth regulators on levels of extractable hormones in tomato ovaries and young fruits

Levels of extractable free indolyl-3-acetic acid (IAA), gibberellin-like substances (GA's), and abscisic acid (ABA) were analysed in tomato ovaries ( Lycopersicon esculentum Mill.) before pollination as well as in fruits 5 and 10 days after pollination or treatment with growth regulators to induce parthenocarpic fruit development. Growth regulators applied were a naphthoquinone (bendroquinone), an auxin (4-CPA), a morphactin (CME), and a benzothiadiazole (DU).
The initial high levels of ABA (2.7 μg/g dry weight) in unpollinated ovaries decreased to one third or less after 5 and 10 days. In contrast levels of IAA increased from 80 up to 180 ng/g dry weight. Activity of GA's could be detected only in young fruits but not in unpollinated ovaries.
The possible relevance of these findings for tomato fruit-set is discussed.

Genetic engineering of shikonin biosynthesis hairy root cultures of Lithospermum erythrorhizon transformed with the bacterial ubiC gene

The biosynthetic pathway to 4-hydroxybenzoate (4HB), a precursor of the naphthoquinone pigment shikonin, was modified in Lithospermum erythrorhizon hairy root cultures by introduction of the bacterial gene ubiC. This gene of Escherichia coli encodes chorismate pyruvate-lyase (CPL), an enzyme that converts chorismate into 4HB and is not normally present in plants. The ubiC gene was fused to the sequence for a chloroplast transit peptide and placed under control of a constitutive plant promoter. This construct was introduced into L. erythrorhizon by Agrobacterium rhizogenes-mediated transformation.The resulting hairy root cultures showed high CPL activity. 4HB produced by the CPL reaction was utilized for shikonin biosynthesis, as shown by in vivo inhibition of the native pathway to 4HB with 2-aminoindan-2-phosphonic acid (AIP), an inhibitor of phenylalanine ammonia-lyase. A feeding experiment with [1,7-13C2]shikimate showed that in the absence of AIP the artificially introduced CPL reaction contributed ca. 20% of the overall 4HB biosynthesis in the transgenic cultures. ubiC transformation did not lead to a statistically significant increase of shikonin formation, but to a 5-fold increase of the accumulation of menisdaurin, a nitrile glucoside which is presumably related to aromatic amino acid metabolism.     

Microbial transformations of natural antitumor agents: oxidation of lapachol by Penicillium notatum.

The naphthoquinone lapachol (1) is readily metabolized by several fungi and streptomycetes. Preparative-scale fermentations with Penicillium notatum (UI 1602) provided a major polar metabolite (4), which was isolated and identified as an intermediate of the Hooker oxidation. The metabolite was synthesized by reacting lapachol with hydrogen peroxide under alkaline conditions.     

5'-monohydroxyphylloquinone is the dominant naphthoquinone of PSI in the green alga Chlamydomonas reinhardtii

Thylakoid membranes contain two types of quinones, benzoquinone (plastoquinone) and naphthoquinone, which are involved in photosynthetic electron transfer. Unlike the benzoquinone, the chemical species of naphthoquinone present (phylloquinone, menaquinone-4 and 5'-monohydroxyphylloquinone) varies depending on the oxygenic photosynthetic organisms. The green alga Chlamydomonas reinhardtii has been used as a model organism to study the function of the naphthoquinone bound to PSI. However, the level of phylloquinone and the presence of other naphthoquinones in this organism remain unknown. In the present study, we found that 5'-monohydroxyphylloquinone is the predominant naphthoquinone in cell and thylakoid extracts based on the retention time during reverse phase HPLC, absorption and mass spectrometry measurements. It was shown that 5'-monohydroxyphylloquinone is enriched 2.5-fold in the PSI complex as compared with thylakoid membranes but that it is absent from PSI-deficient mutant cells. We also found a small amount of phylloquinone in the cells and in the PSI complex and estimated that accumulated 5'-monohydroxyphylloquinone and phylloquinone account for approximately 90 and 10%, respectively, of the total naphthoquinone content. The ratio of these two naphthoquinones remained nearly constant in the cells and in the PSI complexes from logarithmic and stationary cell growth stages. We conclude that both 5'-monohydroxyphylloquinone and phylloquinone stably co-exist as major and minor naphthoquinones in Chlamydomonas PSI.     

Respiratory activity and naphthoquinone synthesis in the fungus Fusarium decemcellulare exposed to oxidative stress

The effect of oxidants (hydrogen peroxide and juglone) on the growth, respiration, and naphthoquinone synthesis in the fungus Fusarium decemcellulare was studied. The addition of the oxidants to the exponential-phase fungus inhibited cell respiration (either partially or completely, depending on the oxidant concentration), culture growth, and naphthoquinone synthesis. The treatment of fungal cells with nonlethal concentrations of H2O2 (below 0.25 mM) and juglone (below 0.1 mM) induced the resistance of cell respiration to cyanide. The residual respiration in the presence of cyanide could be inhibited by benzohydroxamic acid, indicating the occurrence of alternative oxidase. Increased concentrations of oxidants (0.25 mM juglone and 0.5 mM H2O2) rapidly and irreversibly inhibited cell respiration. These observations suggest that the mitochondrial respiratory chain of fungal cells exposed to oxidative stress is subject to the action of active oxygen species. The treatment of fungal cells with nonlethal concentrations of H2O2 and juglone activated cellular glutathione reductase and glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase, which are protective enzymes against oxidative stress.     

Synthesis and biological evaluation of novel naphthoquinone fused cyclic aminoalkylphosphonates and aminoalkylphosphonic monoester

A series of novel naphthoquinone fused cyclic alpha-aminophosphonates, 2-alkoxy-3,4-dihydro-2H-naphtho[2,3-e][1,4,2]oxazaphosphinane-5,10-dione 2-oxide 3-17 and naphthoquinone fused cyclic alpha-aminophosphonic monoester 18 were synthesized for the first time. These cyclic alpha-aminophosphonates were evaluated for antitumor activity on four human tumor cell lines, and three of them showed significant cytotoxicity (IC(50): 0.019-5.15 microM) comparable to that of the reference drug doxorubicin. Furthermore, inhibition assays for topoisomerase II-mediated relaxation of supercoiled DNA indicated that the naphthoquinone fused cyclic aminophosphonates were catalytic inhibitors of topoisomerase II.
