The nature of isoprenoids synthesized in plants is primarily determined by the specificity of prenyltransferases. Several of these enzymes have been characterized at the molecular level. The compartmentation and molecular regulation of geranyl diphosphate (GPP), the carbon skeleton that is the backbone of myriad monoterpene constituents involved in plant defence, allelopathic interactions and pollination, is poorly understood. We describe here the cloning and functional expression of a GPP synthase (GPPS) from Arabidopsis thaliana. Immunohistological analyses of diverse non-secretory and secretory plant tissues reveal that GPPS and its congeners, monoterpene synthase, deoxy-xylulose phosphate synthase and geranylgeranyl diphosphate synthase, are equally compartmentalized and distributed in non-green plastids as well in chloroplasts of photosynthetic cells. This argues that monoterpene synthesis is not solely restricted to specialized secretory structures but can also occur in photosynthetic parenchyma. These data provide new information as to how monoterpene biosynthesis is compartmentalized and induced de novo in response to biotic and abiotic stress in diverse plants. 相似文献

The methylerythritol phosphate (MEP) pathway in plants produces the prenyl precursors for all plastidic isoprenoids, including carotenoids and quinones. The MEP pathway is also responsible for synthesis of approximately 600 Tg of isoprene per year, the largest non‐methane hydrocarbon flux into the atmosphere. There have been few studies of the regulation of the MEP pathway in plants under physiological conditions. In this study, we combined gas exchange techniques and high‐performance liquid chromatography–tandem mass spectrometry (HPLC‐MS‐MS) and measured the profile of MEP pathway metabolites under different conditions. We report that in the MEP pathway, metabolites immediately preceding steps requiring reducing power were in high concentration. Inhibition of the MEP pathway by fosmidomycin caused deoxyxylulose phosphate accumulation in leaves as expected. Evidence is presented that accumulation of MEP pathway intermediates, primarily methylerythritol cyclodiphosphate, is responsible for the post‐illumination isoprene burst phenomenon. Pools of intermediate metabolites stayed at approximately the same level 10 min after light was turned off, but declined eventually under prolonged darkness. In contrast, a strong inhibition of the second‐to‐last step of the MEP pathway caused suppression of isoprene emission in pure N2. Our study suggests that reducing equivalents may be a key regulator of the MEP pathway and therefore isoprene emission from leaves. 相似文献

Using an expression vector containing p(mxaF'), a strong native promoter, expression of a model heterologous protein, haloalkane dehalogenase, from Xanthobacter autotrophicus GJ10 was achieved in the methylotrophic bacterium, Methylobacterium extorquens AM1. Although expression using the wild-type strain was <5% of total cell protein, expression at a level of 10% of the total cell protein was achieved in a mutant unable to synthesize poly-beta-hydroxybutyrate granules. Two other tested heterologous proteins, catechol dioxygenase and green fluorescent protein, were expressed at moderate levels in both wild-type and the PHB-negative strain. These results suggest that the M. extorquens PHB-negative strain is a possible platform for overexpression of heterologous proteins with labeled or unlabeled methanol as a starting material. 相似文献

Undecaprenyl pyrophosphate synthase (UPPS) is a cis-type prenyltransferases which catalyzes condensation reactions of farnesyl diphosphate (FPP) with eight isopentenyl pyrophosphate (IPP) units to generate C55 product. In this study, we used two analogues of FPP, 2-fluoro-FPP and [1,1-2H2]FPP, to probe the reaction mechanism of Escherichia coli UPPS. The reaction rate of 2-fluoro-FPP with IPP under single-turnover condition is similar to that of FPP, consistent with the mechanism without forming a farnesyl carbocation intermediate. Moreover, the deuterium secondary KIE of 0.985 ± 0.022 measured for UPPS reaction using [1,1-2H2]FPP supports the associative transition state. Unlike the sequential mechanism used by trans-prenyltransferases, our data demonstrate E. coli UPPS utilizes the concerted mechanism. 相似文献

A new method which utilizes 13C-13C coupling for structural and biosynthetic studies on acetate-derived metabolites is described. The 13C-NMR spectra of dihydrolatumcidins separately labeled with 13CH313C02Na and with a 1: 1 mixture of 13CH3CO2-Na and CH313C02-Na gave enough information to establish its structure. 相似文献

Isoforms of starch synthase (EC 2.4.1.21) in pea (Pisum sativum L.) leaves have been identified and compared with those in developing pea embryos. Purification and immunoprecipitation experiments
show that most of the soluble starch synthase activity of the leaf is contributed by a novel isoform (SSIII) that is antigenically
related to the major soluble isoform of the potato tuber. The major soluble isoform of the embryo (SSII) is also present in
the leaf, but contributes only 15% of the soluble activity. Study of the leaf starch of lam mutant peas, which lack the abundant granule-bound isoform responsible for amylose synthesis in the embryo (GBSSI), indicates
that GBSSI is not responsible for the synthesis of amylose-like material in the leaf. Leaves appear to contain a novel granule-bound
isoform, antigenically related to GBSSI. The implications of the results for understanding of the role of isoforms of starch
synthase are discussed.

Rice anthers contain high concentrations of gibberellins A4 and A7. To understand their physiological roles, we examined the site of their biosynthesis by analyzing the expression pattern of a gene (OsCPS) encoding coparyl diphosphate synthase in developing rice flowers. Expression was apparent in the anthers 1–2 days before flowering, and CPS mRNA accumulated in the maturing pollen. 相似文献

Octaprenyl diphosphate synthase (OPPs) and undecaprenyl diphosphate synthases (UPPs) catalyze consecutive condensation reactions of farnesyl diphosphate (FPP) with 5 and 8 isopentenyl diphosphate (IPP) to generate C40 and C55 products with trans- and cis-double bonds, respectively. In this study, we used IPP analogue, 3-bromo-3-butenyl diphosphate (Br-IPP), in conjunction with radiolabeled FPP, to probe the reaction mechanisms of the two prenyltransferases. Using this alternative substrate with electron-withdrawing bromo group at the C3 position to slow down the condensation step, trapping of farnesol in the OPPs reaction from radiolabeled FPP under basic condition was observed, consistent with a sequential mechanism. In contrast, UPPs reaction yielded no farnesyl carbocation intermediate under the same condition with radiolabeled FPP and Br-IPP, indicating a concerted mechanism. Our data demonstrate the different reaction mechanisms for cis- and tran-prenyltransferases although they share the same substrates. 相似文献

Intact plastids from cell suspensions of Vitis vinifera L. cv. Muscat de Frontignan, free of detectable contamination by other particles as judged by the distribution of organelle-specific marker enzymes and by electron microscopy, exhibit geranyl-diphosphate synthase activity (EC 2.5.1.1). This synthase activity remains stable after tryptic digestion of unlysed organelles and is enhanced by plastid disruption. We conclude that the enzyme is located within the organelle. The possibility of an isopentenyl diphosphate/dimethylallyl diphosphate translocating system which would play a major role in the regulation of monoterpene metabolism is discussed. 相似文献

Human erythrocyte ghosts were prepared in media of physiological ionic composition, and these “isoionic” ghosts were then lysed and resealed in media of varying Ca2+, Mg2+ and ATP concentrations. The susceptibilities of these ghosts to limited attack by various detergents and by phospholipases C were then compared with the susceptibilities of intact cells to similar attack: attack was assessed by measurements of lysis and of phospholipid hydrolysis. Ghosts were more readily attacked than cells by anionic detergents (cholate, glycocholate, dodecyl sulphate) and by phospholipases C, but Triton X-100 and cetyltrimethylammonium attacked cells and ghosts to the same extent. Mg · ATP2? partially protected ghosts from attack by the anionic detergents and by the phospholipases C of Bacillus cereus and of Clostridium perfringens. Protection by Mg · ATP2? occurred only if Mg · ATP2? had access to the cytoplasmic surface of the membrane. Adenylyl(β-γ-methylene)diphosphonate, a non-hydrolysable ATP analogue, protected as effectively as did Mg · ATP2?. Internal Mg · ATP2? caused a marked reduction in the hydrolysis by phospholipases of phosphatidylethanolamine and sphingomyelin, but had no appreciable effect upon the simultaneous hydrolysis of phosphatidylcholine. It therefore seems that interaction of ATP with sites on the cytoplasmic surface of the erythrocyte membrane can, without ATP hydrolysis, cause changes in the organization of the outer surface of the membrane that specifically render phosphatidylethanolamine and sphingomyelin less accessible to attack by extracellular phospholipases. 相似文献

The Nudix hydrolase superfamily is identified by a conserved cassette of 23 amino acids, and it is characterized by its pyrophosphorylytic activity on a wide variety of nucleoside diphosphate derivatives. Of the 13 members of the family in Escherichia coli, only one, Orf180, has not been identified with a substrate, although a host of nucleoside diphosphate compounds has been tested. Several reports have noted a strong similarity in the three‐dimensional structure of the unrelated enzyme, isopentenyl diphosphate isomerase (IDI) to the Nudix structure, and the report that a Nudix enzyme was involved in the synthesis of geraniol, a product of the two substrates of IDI, prompted an investigation of whether the IDI substrates, isopentenyl diphosphate (IPP), and dimethylallyl diphosphate (DAPP) could be substrates of Orf180. This article demonstrates that Orf180 does have a very low activity on IPP, DAPP, and geranyl pyrophosphate (GPP). However, several of the other Nudix enzymes with established nucleoside diphosphate substrates hydrolyze these compounds at substantial rates. In fact, some Nudix hydrolases have higher activities on IPP, DAPP, and GPP than on their signature nucleoside diphosphate derivatives. 相似文献

Previous work has shown that deglycosylation of human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) does not affect its receptor binding characteristics, but its ability to stimulate intracellular cyclic AMP accumulation and steroidogenesis in ovarian cells is abolished. To identify the site at which carbohydrate of hCG is involved in the mechanism of action of the hormone, we have studied adenylate cyclase activity in ovarian membrane preparations in response to deglycosylated and native hCG. The deglycosylated hCG does not stimulate adenylate cyclase of ovarian membrane preparation and also it acts as an inhibitor of hCG action. Data are presented to show that both hCG- and catecholamine receptors are coupled to the same adenylate cyclase complex. Since adenylate cyclase activity in the presence of deglycosylated hCG remains still responsive maximally to catecholamines, it indicates that the adenylate cyclase complex is functional and is unaffected by the interaction of deglycosylated hCG to its receptor. This is further supported by the fact that the deglycosylated hCG does not impair the maximal stimulation of adenylate cyclase by guanine nucleotides. Thus, the site of action of the carbohydrate of hCG is prior to the coupling of the hormone-receptor complex and the adenylate cyclase system. 相似文献
