Prolamin and resistance gene families are important in wheat food use and in defense against pathogen attacks, respectively. To better understand the evolution of these multi‐gene families, the DNA sequence of a 2.8‐Mb genomic region, representing an 8.8 cM genetic interval and harboring multiple prolamin and resistance‐like gene families, was analyzed in the diploid grass Aegilops tauschii, the D‐genome donor of bread wheat. Comparison with orthologous regions from rice, Brachypodium, and sorghum showed that the Ae. tauschii region has undergone dramatic changes; it has acquired more than 80 non‐syntenic genes and only 13 ancestral genes are shared among these grass species. These non‐syntenic genes, including prolamin and resistance‐like genes, originated from various genomic regions and likely moved to their present locations via sequence evolution processes involving gene duplication and translocation. Local duplication of non‐syntenic genes contributed significantly to the expansion of gene families. Our analysis indicates that the insertion of prolamin‐related genes occurred prior to the separation of the Brachypodieae and Triticeae lineages. Unlike in Brachypodium, inserted prolamin genes have rapidly evolved and expanded to encode different classes of major seed storage proteins in Triticeae species. Phylogenetic analyses also showed that the multiple insertions of resistance‐like genes and subsequent differential expansion of each R gene family. The high frequency of non‐syntenic genes and rapid local gene evolution correlate with the high recombination rate in the 2.8‐Mb region with nine‐fold higher than the genome‐wide average. Our results demonstrate complex evolutionary dynamics in this agronomically important region of Triticeae species. 相似文献

Cytochromes P450 play important roles in biosynthesis of flavonoids and their coloured class of compounds, anthocyanins, both of which are major floral pigments. The number of hydroxyl groups on the B-ring of anthocyanidins (the chromophores and precursors of anthocyanins) impact the anthocyanin colour, the more the bluer. The hydroxylation pattern is determined by two cytochromes P450, flavonoid 3′-hydroxylase (F3′H) and flavonoid 3′,5′-hydroxylase (F3′5′H) and thus they play a crucial role in the determination of flower colour. F3′H and F3′5′H mostly belong to CYP75B and CYP75A, respectively, except for the F3′5′Hs in Compositae that were derived from gene duplication of CYP75B and neofunctionalization. Roses and carnations lack blue/violet flower colours owing to the deficiency of F3′5′H and therefore lack the B-ring-trihydroxylated anthocyanins based upon delphinidin. Successful redirection of the anthocyanin biosynthesis pathway to delphinidin was achieved by expressing F3′5′H coding regions resulting in carnations and roses with novel blue hues that have been commercialized. Suppression of F3′5′H and F3′H in delphinidin-producing plants reduced the number of hydroxyl groups on the anthocyanidin B-ring resulting in the production of monohydroxylated anthocyanins based on pelargonidin with a shift in flower colour to orange/red. Pelargonidin biosynthesis is enhanced by additional expression of a dihydroflavonol 4-reductase that can use the monohydroxylated dihydrokaempferol (the pelargonidin precursor). Flavone synthase II (FNSII)-catalysing flavone biosynthesis from flavanones is also a P450 (CYP93B) and contributes to flower colour, because flavones act as co-pigments to anthocyanins and can cause blueing and darkening of colour. However, transgenic plants expression of a FNSII gene yielded paler flowers owing to a reduction of anthocyanins because flavanones are precursors of anthocyanins and flavones. 相似文献

Chondroitin sulfates (CSs) are linear glycosaminoglycans that have important applications in the medical and food industries. Engineering bacteria for the microbial production of CS will facilitate a one‐step, scalable production with good control over sulfation levels and positions in contrast to extraction from animal sources. To achieve this goal, Escherichia coli (E. coli) is engineered in this study using traditional metabolic engineering approaches to accumulate 3′‐phosphoadenosine‐5′‐phosphosulfate (PAPS), the universal sulfate donor. PAPS is one of the least‐explored components required for the biosynthesis of CS. The resulting engineered E. coli strain shows an ≈1000‐fold increase in intracellular PAPS concentrations. This study also reports, for the first time, in vitro biotransformation of CS using PAPS, chondroitin, and chondroitin‐4‐sulfotransferase (C4ST), all synthesized from different engineered E. coli strains. A 10.4‐fold increase is observed in the amount of CS produced by biotransformation by employing PAPS from the engineered PAPS‐accumulating strain. The data from the biotransformation experiments also help evaluate the reaction components that need improved production to achieve a one‐step microbial synthesis of CS. This will provide a new platform to produce CS. 相似文献

The aleurone tissue of cereal grains, nutritionally rich in minerals and vitamins, is an important target for the improvement
of cereals. Inheritance of the thickness and the number of cell layers in barley aleurone was studied on the F2–F3 progeny
of an Erhard Frederichen × Criolla Negra cross in which the parental lines have three or two aleurone layers, respectively.
F3 grain was sampled from each F2 plant and 96.8% of the entire F3 grain population was classified as being either the 2-
or 3-layer type. Using microsatellite, single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) and morphological markers on 190 F2 plants, a
linkage map was built. Three quantitative trait loci (QTLs) affecting aleurone traits were revealed on chromosome 5H (max.
LOD = 5.83) and chromosome 7H (max. LOD = 4.45) by interval mapping, and on chromosome 2H by marker analysis with an unmapped
marker. These QTLs were consistent with genetic sub-models involving either 2-cell type dominance for 7H and 2H, or putative
partial dominance for 5H where 2-cell-layer dominance and additivity gave similar LODs. The number of aleurone cell layers
and aleurone thickness were strongly correlated and QTL results for these traits were alike. An SNP marker of sal1, an orthologue of the maize multilayer aleurone gene was mapped to the 7HL chromosome arm. However, the 7H QTL did not co-locate
with the barley sal1 SNP, suggesting that an additional gene is involved in determining aleurone traits. These new mapping data allow comparisons
to be made with related studies. 相似文献

The molecular mechanism regulating dormancy release in grapevine buds is as yet unclear. It was formerly proposed that dormancy is maintained by abscisic acid (ABA)‐mediated repression of bud–meristem activity and that removal of this repression triggers dormancy release. It was also proposed that such removal of repression may be achieved via natural or artificial up‐regulation of VvA8H‐CYP707A4, which encodes ABA 8′‐hydroxylase, and is the most highly expressed paralog in grapevine buds. The current study further examines these assumptions, and its experiments reveal that (a) hypoxia and ethylene, stimuli of bud dormancy release, enhance expression of VvA8H‐CYP707A4 within grape buds, (b) the VvA8H‐CYP707A4 protein accumulates during the natural transition to the dormancy release stage, and (c) transgenic vines overexpressing VvA8H‐CYP707A4 exhibit increased ABA catabolism and significant enhancement of bud break in controlled and natural environments and longer basal summer laterals. The results suggest that VvA8H‐CYP707A4 functions as an ABA degrading enzyme, and are consistent with a model in which the VvA8H‐CYP707A4 level in the bud is up‐regulated by natural and artificial bud break stimuli, which leads to increased ABA degradation capacity, removal of endogenous ABA‐mediated repression, and enhanced regrowth. Interestingly, it also hints at sharing of regulatory steps between latent and lateral bud outgrowth. 相似文献

Two outstanding questions in evolutionary biology are whether, and how often, the genetic basis of phenotypic evolution is predictable; and whether genetic change constrains evolutionary reversibility. We address these questions by studying the genetic basis of red flower color in Penstemon barbatus. The production of red flowers often involves the inactivation of one or both of two anthocyanin pathway genes, Flavonoid 3′,5′‐hydroxylase (F3′5′h) and Flavonoid 3′‐hydroxylase (F3′h). We used gene expression and enzyme function assays to determine that redundant inactivating mutations to F3′5′h underlie the evolution of red flowers in P. barbatus. Comparison of our results to previously characterized shifts from blue to red flowers suggests that the genetic change associated with the evolution of red flowers is predictable: when it involves elimination of F3′5′H activity, functional inactivation or deletion of this gene tends to occur; however, when it involves elimination of F3′H activity, tissue‐specific regulatory substitutions occur and the gene is not functionally inactivated. This pattern is consistent with emerging data from physiological experiments indicating that F3′h may have pleiotropic effects and is thus subject to purifying selection. The multiple, redundant inactivating mutations to F3′5′h suggest that reversal to blue‐purple flowers in this group would be unlikely. 相似文献

Di(indol‐3‐yl)methane (=3,3′‐methanediyldi(1H‐indole), DIM, 1 ) is a known weakly antitumoral compound formed by digestion of indole‐3‐carbinol (=1H‐indol‐3‐ylmethanol), an ingredient of various Brassica vegetables. Out of a series of nine fluoroaryl derivatives of 1 , three pentafluorophenyl derivatives 2c , 2h , and 2i were identified that exhibited a two to five times greater anti‐proliferative effect and an increased apoptosis induction when compared with 1 in the following carcinoma cell lines: BxPC‐3 pancreas, LNCaP prostate, C4‐2B prostate, PC3 prostate and the triple‐negative MDA‐MB‐231 breast carcinoma. Compound 2h was particularly efficacious against androgen‐refractory C4‐2B prostate cancer cells (IC50=6.4 μm ) and 2i against androgen‐responsive LNCaP cells (IC50=6.2 μm ). In addition, 2c and 2h exhibited distinct activity in three cancer cell lines resistant to 1 . 相似文献

The interaction between 3‐spiro‐2′‐pyrrolidine‐3′‐spiro‐3″‐piperidine‐2,3″‐dione (PPD) and bovine serum albumin (BSA) in aqueous solution was studied using fluorescence and UV–vis spectroscopy. Fluorescence emission data revealed that BSA (1.00 × 10‐5 mol/L) fluorescence was statically quenched by PPD at various concentrations, which implies that a PPD–BSA complex was formed. The binding constant (KA), the number of binding sites (n) and the specific binding site of the PPD with BSA were determined. Energy‐transfer efficiency parameters were determined and the mechanism of the interaction discussed. The thermodynamic parameters, ΔG, ΔH and ΔS, were obtained according to van't Hoff's equation, showing the involvement of hydrophobic forces in these interactions. The effect of PPD acting on the BSA conformation was detected by synchronous fluorescence. Copyright © 2012 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd. 相似文献

Arabidopsis thaliana gene At5g06450 encodes a putative DnaQ‐like 3′‐5′ exonuclease domain‐containing protein (AtDECP). The DnaQ‐like 3′‐5′ exonuclease domain is often found as a proofreading domain of DNA polymerases. The overall structure of AtDECP adopts an RNase H fold that consists of a mixed β‐sheet flanked by α‐helices. Interestingly, AtDECP forms a homohexameric assembly with a central six fold symmetry, generating a central cavity. The ring‐shaped structure and comparison with WRN‐exo, the best structural homologue of AtDECP, suggest a possible mechanism for implementing its exonuclease activity using positively charged patch on the N‐terminal side of the homohexameric assembly. The homohexameric structure of AtDECP provides unique information about the interaction between the DnaQ‐like 3′‐5′ exonuclease and its substrate nucleic acids.Proteins 2013. © 2013 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. 相似文献

Proliferating cell nuclear antigen (PCNA) plays critical roles in eukaryotic DNA replication and replication‐associated processes. It is typically encoded by one or two gene copies (pcna) in eukaryotic genomes. Recently reported higher copy numbers of pcna in some dinoflagellates raised a question of how this gene has uniquely evolved in this phylum. Through real‐time PCR quantification, we found a wide range of pcna copy number (2–287 copies) in 11 dinoflagellate species (n = 38), and a strong positive correlation between pcna copy number and genome size (log10–log10 transformed). Intraspecific pcna diverged up to 21% and are dominated by nonsynonymous substitutions, indicating strong purifying selection pressure on and hence functional necessity of this gene. By surveying pcna copy numbers in eukaryotes, we observed a genome size threshold at 4 pg DNA, above which more than two pcna copies are found. To examine whether retrotransposition is a mechanism of pcna duplication, we measured the copy number of retroposed pcna, taking advantage of the 22‐nt dinoflagellate‐specific spliced leader (DinoSL) capping the 5′ end of dinoflagellate nuclear‐encoded mRNAs, which would exist in the upstream region of a retroposed gene copy. We found that retroposed pcna copy number increased with total pcna copy number and genome size. These results indicate co‐evolution of dinoflagellate pcna copy number with genome size, and retroposition as a major mechanism of pcna duplication in dinoflagellates. Furthermore, we posit that the demand of faithful replication and maintenance of the large dinoflagellate genomes might have favored the preservation of the retroposed pcna as functional genes. 相似文献

Methyl jasmonate (MeJA) signalling shares several signal components with abscisic acid (ABA) signalling in guard cells. Cyclic adenosine 5′‐diphosphoribose (cADPR) and cyclic guanosine 3′,5′‐monophosphate (cGMP) are second messengers in ABA‐induced stomatal closure. In order to clarify involvement of cADPR and cGMP in MeJA‐induced stomatal closure in Arabidopsis thaliana (Col‐0), we investigated effects of an inhibitor of cADPR synthesis, nicotinamide (NA), and an inhibitor of cGMP synthesis, LY83583 (LY, 6‐anilino‐5,8‐quinolinedione), on MeJA‐induced stomatal closure. Treatment with NA and LY inhibited MeJA‐induced stomatal closure. NA inhibited MeJA‐induced reactive oxygen species (ROS) accumulation and nitric oxide (NO) production in guard cells. NA and LY suppressed transient elevations elicited by MeJA in cytosolic free Ca2+ concentration ([Ca2+]cyt) in guard cells. These results suggest that cADPR and cGMP positively function in [Ca2+]cyt elevation in MeJA‐induced stomatal closure, are signalling components shared with ABA‐induced stomatal closure in Arabidopsis, and that cADPR is required for MeJA‐induced ROS accumulation and NO production in Arabidopsis guard cells. 相似文献

Molecular genetics of puroindolines and related genes: allelic diversity in wheat and other grasses 总被引:6,自引:0,他引:6
The hardness or texture of cereal grains is a primary determinant of their technological and processing quality. Among members
of the Triticeae, most notably wheat, much of the variation in texture is controlled by a single locus comprised of the Puroindoline a, Puroindoline b and Grain Softness Protein-1 (Gsp-1) genes. Puroindolines confer the three major texture classes of soft and hard common wheat and the very hard durum wheat.
The protein products of these genes interact with lipids and are associated with the surface of isolated starch (as a protein
fraction known as ‘friabilin’). During the past ten years a great diversity of alleles of both Puroindoline genes have been discovered and significant advances made in understanding the relationship between the gene presence/absence,
sequence polymorphism and texture of cereal grains. Efforts have also focussed on Puroindoline and Gsp-1 genes in diploid progenitors, other Triticeae grasses and synthetic wheats in order to understand the evolution of this gene
family and find potentially useful variants. The puroindoline homologues in other cereals such as rye and barley are also
receiving attention. This work summarises new developments in molecular genetics of puroindolines in wheat and related Triticeae
grasses, and the related genes in other cereals. 相似文献

A New Phenolic Constituent and a Cyanogenic Glycoside from Balanophora involucrata (Balanophoraceae)
Balanophora involucrata Hook .f. & Thomson (Balanophoraceae) is a parasite plant often growing on the roots of leguminous plants. The whole herb has been used medicinally for the treatment of irregular menstruation, cough, hemoptysis, traumatic injury and bleeding, dizziness and gastralgia in Yunnan Province, China. The 2,2‐diphenyl‐2‐picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) assay on the 60% aq. acetone extract of the fresh whole plant of B. involucrata showed considerable radical‐scavenging activity (SC50 15.3 μg/ml). Further purification on the extract led to the isolation of one new phenolic glycoside, sieboldin‐3′‐ketocarboxylic acid ( 1 ), and one new cyanogenic glycoside, proacacipetalin 6′‐O‐β‐D ‐glucopyranoside ( 2 ), together with 26 known compounds including three 4″‐O‐galloyl and 2″,3″‐O‐(S)‐hexahydroxydiphenoyl (HHDP) derivatives of dihydrochalcone glucosides, seven hydrolyzable tannins, and alkane glycosides. The cyanogenic compound isolated from the Balanophoraceae family for the first time might be a signal molecule between B. involucrata and its hosts. The free‐radical‐scavenging activity of the isolated compounds was also examined by DPPH assay. 相似文献

The wheat high molecular weight (HMW) glutenins are important seed storage proteins that determine bread-making quality in
hexaploid wheat (Triticum aestivum). In this study, detailed comparative sequence analyses of large orthologous HMW glutenin genomic regions from eight grass
species, representing a wide evolutionary history of grass genomes, reveal a number of lineage-specific sequence changes.
These lineage-specific changes, which resulted in duplications, insertions, and deletions of genes, are the major forces disrupting
gene colinearity among grass genomes. Our results indicate that the presence of the HMW glutenin gene in Triticeae genomes
was caused by lineage-specific duplication of a globulin gene. This tandem duplication event is shared by Brachypodium and Triticeae genomes, but is absent in rice, maize, and sorghum, suggesting the duplication occurred after Brachypodium and Triticeae genomes diverged from the other grasses ~35 Ma ago. Aside from their physical location in tandem, the sequence
similarity, expression pattern, and conserved cis-acting elements responsible for endosperm-specific expression further support the paralogous relationship between the HMW
glutenin and globulin genes. While the duplicated copy in Brachypodium has apparently become nonfunctional, the duplicated copy in wheat has evolved to become the HMW glutenin gene by gaining
a central prolamin repetitive domain. 相似文献
