The 3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl-CoA reductase (HMGR) catalyzes the conversion of HMG-CoA to mevalonate (MVA), which is a rate-limiting step in the isoprenoid biosynthesis via the MVA pathway. In this study, the full-length cDNA encoding HMGR (designated as SmHMGR2, GenBank accession no. FJ747636) was isolated from Salvia miltiorrhiza by rapid amplification of cDNA ends (RACE). The cloned gene was then transformed into the hairy root of S. miltiorrhiza, and the enzyme activity and production of diterpenoid tanshinones and squalene were monitored. The full-length cDNA of SmHMGR2 comprises 1959 bp, with a 1653-bp open reading frame encoding a 550-amino-acid protein. Molecular modeling showed that SmHMGR2 is a new HMGR with a spatial structure similar to other plant HMGRs. SmHMGR2 contains two HMG-CoA-binding motifs and two NADP(H)-binding motifs. The SmHMGR2 catalytic domain can form a homodimer. The deduced protein has an isoelectric point of 6.28 and a calculated molecular weight of approximately 58.67 kDa. Sequence comparison analysis showed that SmHMGR2 had the highest homology to HMGR from Atractylodes lancea. As expected, a phylogenetic tree analysis indicates that SmHMGR2 belongs to plant HMGR group. Tissue expression pattern analysis shows that SmHMGR2 is strongly expressed in the leaves, stem, and roots. Functional complementation of SmHMGR2 in HMGR-deficient mutant yeast JRY2394 demonstrates that SmHMGR2 mediates the MVA biosynthesis in yeasts. Overexpression of SmHMGR2 increased enzyme activity and enhanced the production of tanshinones and squalene in cultured hairy roots of S. miltiorrhiza. Our DNA gel blot analysis has confirmed the presence and integration of the associated SmHMGR2 gene. SmHMGR2 is a novel and important enzyme involved in the biosynthesis of diterpenoid tanshinones in S. miltiorrhiza. 相似文献

Differential expression of pathogen-responsive genes encoding two types of glycine-rich proteins in barley 总被引:11,自引:0,他引:11

Gene-specific probes (3' ends of cDNAs) were obtained from barley cDNAs encoding two types of glycine-rich proteins: HvGRP2, characterized by a cytokeratin-like and a cysteine-rich domain, and HvGRP3, whose main feature was an RNA-binding domain. Expression of genes Hvgrp2 and Hvgrp3, which are present at one (or two) copies per haploid genome, was ubiquitous and gene Hvgrp3 was under light/darkness modulation. Cold treatment increased Hvgrp2 and Hvgrp3 mRNA levels. Methyl jasmonate (10 M) switched off the two genes. Expression of Hvgrp2, but not that of Hvgrp3, was induced by ethylene treatment (100 ppm). Fungal pathogens Erysiphe graminis and Rhynchosporium secalis increased the mRNAs levels of the two genes, both in compatible and in incompatible interactions, while bacterial pathogens did not. 相似文献

Effects of growth regulators and light on chloroplasts NAD(P)H dehydrogenase activities of senescent barley leaves 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
Juan Cuello María José Quiles Joaquín Rosauro Bartolomé Sabater 《Plant Growth Regulation》1995,17(3):225-232
The activities NADH and NADPH dehydrogenases were measured with ferricyanide as electron-acceptor (NADH-FeCN-ox and NADPH-FeCN-ox, respectively) in mitochondria-free chloroplasts of barley leaf segments after receiving various treatments affecting senescence. NADPH-FeCN-ox declined during senescence in the dark, in a way similar to chlorophyll and Hill reaction, and increased when leaf segments were incubated at light. These results suggest that NADPH-FeCN-ox is related to some photosynthetic electron transporter activity (probably ferredoxin-NADP+ oxidoreductase). In contrast, NADH-FeCN-ox is notably stable during senescence in the dark and at light. This activity increased during incubation with kinetin or methyl-jasmonate (Me-JA) but decreased when leaf segments were treated with abscisic acid (ABA). The effects of the inhibitors of protein synthesis cycloheximide and chloramphenicol suggest that the changes of NAD(P)H dehydrogenase activities may depend on protein synthesis in chloroplasts. In senescent leaf, chloroplast NADH dehydrogenase might be a way to dissipate NADH produced in the degradation of excess carbon which is released from the degradation of amino acids.Abbreviations ABA

Conversion of exogenous 1-aminocyclopropane-1-carboxylic acid (ACC) to ethylene was studied in sunflower (Helianthus annuus L., cv. Mirasol) seeds in relation to germinability. Ethylene production from ACC decreased during seed maturation, and non-dormant mature seeds were practically unable to synthesize ethylene until germination and growth occurred, indicating that ethylene forming enzyme (EFE) activity developed during tissue imbibition and growth. ACC conversion to ethylene was reduced by the presence of pericarp, and in young seedlings it was less in cotyledons than in growing axes.ACC conversion to ethylene by cotyledons from young seedlings was optimal at c. 30°C, and was strongly inhibited at 45°C. Pretreatment of imbibed seeds at high temperature (45°C) induced a thermodormancy and a progressive decrease in EFE activity.Abscisic acid and methyl-jasmonate, two growth regulators which inhibit seed germination and seedling growth, and cycloheximide were also shown to inhibit ACC conversion to ethylene by cotyledons of 3-day-old seedlings and by inbibed seeds.Abbreviations ABA
