Expression of lipoxygenase was studied in barley (Hordeum distichum L.) embryos during germination. Total lipoxygenase activity was high in quiescent grains, dropped during the 1st d of germination, and subsequently increased to a level similar to that in quiescent grains. The contribution of two isoenzymes, lipoxygenases 1 (LOX-1) and 2 (LOX-2), was studied at the activity, protein, and mRNA levels. Activity ratios of the two isoforms were determined via the ratio of 9- and 13-hydroperoxides, which are formed from linoleic acid. Isoenzyme protein levels were determined using specific monoclonal antibodies. mRNA levels were studied using the specific cDNA probes LoxA and LoxC, which correspond to LOX-1 and LOX-2, respectively. The major difference in temporal expression of LOX-1 and LOX-2 was observed in quiescent grains. At this stage, LOX-1 contributed almost exclusively to total lipoxygenase activity. LOX-2 activity rapidly increased until d 2 of germination. From this time point onward, LOX-1 and LOX-2 showed similar patterns at both activity and protein levels. The tissue distribution of the two isoenzymes in the germinating embryo was closely similar, with the highest expression levels in leaves and roots. The levels of LOX-1 and LOX-2 may be regulated mainly pretranslationally, as suggested by the similarity of the protein and mRNA patterns corresponding to the two isoforms. 相似文献

A cDNA corresponding to the gene AtLox2 was isolated from an Arabidopsis thaliana library using a lipoxygenase (LOX) probe from soybean. AtLox2 encodes a 102-kD protein, AtLOX2, which has 42 to 45% amino acid sequence identity with other plant LOX sequences. The AtLOX2 sequence is more than 30 amino acids longer at the amino terminus than other plant LOX sequences, and this extension has features reminiscent of chloroplast transit peptides, suggesting that AtLOX2 may be chloroplast localized. AtLox2 mRNA levels are high in leaves and inflorescences but very low in seeds, roots, and stems. AtLox2 mRNA accumulation is rapidly induced in leaves in response to methyl jasmonate. Leaves that have been wounded and adjacent leaves on the same plant also accumulate AtLox2 mRNA. 相似文献

小麦面粉黄色素相关基因研究 总被引:9,自引:1,他引:8
小麦八氢番茄红素合成酶(PSY)基因和脂肪氧化酶(LOx)基因可能影响面粉黄色素含量。根据玉米P5y 基因序列设计引物,扩增出小麦PSY基因的部分片段,序列比较表明小麦和玉米PSY基因外显子DNA序列长度一致,但存在单核苷酸多态性(SNP)位点,序列一致性为90%;蛋白质氨基酸序列比较发现其序列一致性为97%, 说明一些SNP并未导致氨基酸的改变,该基因在玉米和小麦中应具有类似的功能活性。利用非整倍体材料将小麦 PSY基因初步定位到1D染色体。用同样方法,发现小麦的LOX基因与大麦、水稻、玉米的L0X基因具有很高的一致性,并将其初步定位到4BS染色体。 相似文献

Activity measurements and Northern blot hybridizations were used to study the temporal and spatial expression of carboxypeptidase I in germinating grains of barley (Hordeum vulgare L. cv Himalaya). In the resting grain no carboxypeptidase I activity was found in the aleurone layer, scutellum, or starchy endosperm. During germination high levels of enzyme activity appeared in the scutellum and in the starchy endosperm but only low activity was found in the aleurone layer. No mRNA for carboxypeptidase I was observed in the resting grain. By day 1 of germination the mRNA appeared in the scutellum where its level remained high for several days. In contrast, little mRNA was observed in the aleurone layer. These results indicate that the scutellum plays an important role in the production of carboxypeptidase I in germinating barley grain. 相似文献

We isolated and characterized a 2.8-kb, full-length, Arabidopsis thaliana cDNA clone encoding a lipoxygenase. DNA sequence analysis showed that the deduced amino acid sequence of the Arabidopsis protein is 72 to 78% similar to that of legume seed lipoxygenases. DNA blot analysis indicated that Arabidopsis contains a single gene, LOX1, with appreciable homology to the cDNA clone. RNA blot analysis showed that the LOX1 gene is expressed in Arabidopsis leaves, roots, inflorescences, and young seedlings. LOX1 expression levels were highest in roots and young seedlings. In mature plants, LOX1 mRNA levels increased upon treatment with the stress-related hormones abscisic acid and methyl jasmonate and remained high for at least 96 h. Expression of the LOX1 gene was examined following infiltration of leaves with virulent (Psm ES4326) and avirulent (Pst MM1065) strains of Pseudomonas syringae. LOX1 mRNA levels were induced approximately 6-fold by both virulent and avirulent strains; however, the response to avirulent strains was much more rapid. Infiltration of leaves with Pst MM1065 resulted in maximal induction within 12 h, whereas maximal induction by Psm ES4326 did not occur until 48 h. When a cloned avr gene, avrRpt2, was transferred to Psm ES4326, LOX1 mRNA accumulated in a pattern similar to that observed for the avirulent strain Pst MM1065. 相似文献

Allene oxide synthase (AOS) is the first enzyme in the lipoxygenase (LOX) pathway which leads to formation of jasmonic acid (JA). Two full-length cDNAs of AOS designated as AOS1 and AOS2, respectively, were isolated from barley (H. vulgare cv. Salome) leaves, which represent the first AOS clones from a monocotyledonous species. For AOS1, the open reading frame encompasses 1461 bp encoding a polypeptide of 487 amino acids with calculated molecular mass of 53.4 kDa and an isoelectric point of 9.3, whereas the corresponding data of AOS2 are 1443 bp, 480 amino acids, 52.7 kDa and 7.9. Southern blot analysis revealed at least two genes. Despite the lack of a putative chloroplast signal peptide in both sequences, the protein co-purified with chloroplasts and was localized within chloroplasts by immunocytochemical analysis. The barley AOSs, expressed in bacteria as active enzymes, catalyze the dehydration of LOX-derived 9- as well as 13-hydroperoxides of polyenoic fatty acids to the unstable allene oxides. In leaves, AOS mRNA accumulated upon treatment with jasmonates, octadecanoids and metabolizable carbohydrates, but not upon floating on abscisic acid, NaCl, Na-salicylate or infection with powdery mildew. In developing seedlings, AOS mRNA strongly accumulated in the scutellar nodule, but less in the leaf base. Both tissues exhibited elevated JA levels. In situ hybridizations revealed the preferential occurrence of AOS mRNA in parenchymatic cells surrounding the vascular bundles of the scutellar nodule and in the young convoluted leaves as well as within the first internode. The properties of both barley AOSs, their up-regulation of their mRNAs and their tissue specific expression suggest a role during seedling development and jasmonate biosynthesis. 相似文献

A membrane-associated lipoxygenase from breaker-stage fruit of tomato (Lycopersicon esculentum Mill.) was purified and partially sequenced. Using degenerate oligonucleotides corresponding to portions of this sequence, a cDNA was amplified by PCR and used to screen a breaker fruit cDNA library. Two clones, tomloxA and tomloxB, were isolated and one of these (tomloxA) corresponded to the isolated protein. Genomic clones were isolated and sequence data from these were used to obtain the 5' ends of the cDNAs. The 2.8-kb cDNAs encode proteins that are similar in size and sequence to each other and to other plant lipoxygenases. DNA blot analysis indicated that tomato contains three or more genes that encode lipoxygenase. RNA blot analysis showed that tomloxA is expressed in germinating seeds as well as in ripening fruit, where it reached its peak during breaker stage. tomloxB appears to be fruit specific and is at its highest level in ripe fruit. 相似文献

We report the isolation of cDNA recombinants representing part of the rabbit reticulocyte (immature red blood cell, RBC) lipoxygenase (LOX) mRNA. One cDNA predicts an amino acid (aa) sequence matching exactly the unique N-terminal 30-aa sequence of the purified enzyme. Further, the reticulocyte mRNA, hybrid-selected by this recombinant, can be translated in vitro to give a polypeptide that comigrates with the purified reticulocyte LOX and is recognized by affinity-purified anti-RBC LOX polyclonal antibodies. Southern blotting experiments hybridising the RBC LOX cDNAs available to total rabbit genomic DNA digested with various restriction enzymes gives a fairly simple hybridisation pattern under moderate stringency conditions: moreover, the same pattern is obtained with a cloned fragment of genomic DNA containing the RBC LOX gene. This indicates that the RBC LOX gene is unique in the genome and seems not to be very closely related to the genes encoding the other tissue LOXs. We also show by Northern transfer/hybridisation experiments that the RBC LOX mRNA is expressed only in the red cell lineage but not in white blood cells (bone marrow or spleen) or in other non-erythroid cells tested (e.g., brain and lung). 相似文献

Transgenic barley plants overexpressing a 13-lipoxygenase to modify oxylipin signature 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1

Three chimeric gene constructs were designed comprising the full length cDNA of a lipoxygenase (LOX) from barley (LOX2:Hv:1) including its chloroplast targeting sequence (cTP) under control of either (1) CaMV35S- or (2) polyubiquitin-1-promoter, whereas the third plasmid contains 35S promoter and the cDNA without cTP. Transgenic barley plants overexpressing LOX2:Hv:1 were generated by biolistics of scutella from immature embryos. Transformation frequency for 35S::LOX with or without cTP was in a range known for barley particle bombardment, whereas for Ubi::cTP-LOX no transgenic plants were detected. In general, a high number of green plantlets selected on bialaphos became yellow and finally died either in vitro or after potting. All transgenic plants obtained were phenotypically indistinguishable from wild type plants and all of them set seeds. The corresponding protein (LOX-100) in transgenic T0 and T1 plants accumulated constitutively to similar levels as in the jasmonic acid methyl ester (JAME)-treated wild type plants. Moreover, LOX-100 was clearly detectable immunocytochemically within the chloroplasts of untreated T0 plants containing the LOX-100-cDNA with the chloroplast target sequence. In contrast, an exclusive localization of LOX-100 in the cytoplasm was detectable when the target sequence was removed. In comparison to sorbitol-treated wild type leaves, analysis of oxylipin profiles in T2 progenies showed higher levels of jasmonic acid (JA) for those lines that displayed elevated levels of LOX-100 in the chloroplasts and for those lines that harboured LOX-100 in the cytoplasm, respectively. The studies demonstrate for the first time the constitutive overexpression of a cDNA coding for a 13-LOX in a monocotyledonous species and indicate a link between the occurrence of LOX-100 and senescence. 相似文献

Expression of defense-associated genes was analyzed in leaf tissues of near-isogenic resistant and susceptible barley cultivars upon infection by Rhynchosporium secalis. The genes encoding pathogenesis-related (PR) proteins PR-1, PR-5, and PR-9 are specifically expressed in the mesophyll of resistant plants, whereas a germin-like protein (OxOLP) is synthesized in the epidermis irrespective of the resistance genotype. Restriction-mediated differential display was employed to identify additional epidermis-specific genes. This resulted in the detection of another PR gene, PR-10, along with a lipoxygenase gene, LoxA, and a gene of unknown function, pI2-4, which are specifically induced in the epidermis of resistant plants. The gene encoding a putative protease inhibitor, SD10, is preferentially but not exclusively expressed in the epidermis. The fungal avirulence gene product NIP1 triggers the induction of the four PR genes only. At least two additional elicitors, therefore, must be postulated, one for the unspecific induction of OxOLP and one for the resistance-specific induction of LoxA, pI2-4, and SD10. PR-10 expression can be assumed to be the consequence of NIP1 perception by epidermis cells. In contrast, gene expression in the mesophyll is likely to be triggered by an as yet unknown signal that appears to originate in the epidermis and that is strongly amplified in the mesophyll. 相似文献

Partially purified preparations of lipoxygenase from the germinating barley embryos converted linoleic acid to 9- and 13-hydroperoxy linoleic acids in the ratio of approximately 3:1, while the similar preparations from the ungerminated embryos converted linoleic acid mainly to 9-hydroperoxy linoleic acid.Isoelectric focusing of the partially purified preparations of the germinating embryos revealed the presence of the two lipoxygenase active peaks, having isoelectric point at pH 4.9 and 6.6, respectively. The former peak (barley lipoxygenase-1) was identical to lipoxygenase of the ungerminated embryos, but the latter peak (barley lipoxygenase-2) was found only in the germinating embryos. The newly found isoenzyme, barley lipoxygenase-2, converted linoleic acid mainly to 13-hydroperoxy linoleic acid, and could oxidize esterified derivatives of linoleic acid (methyl linoleate and trilinolein) much strongly than barley lipoxygenase-1. 相似文献

An analysis of different cell fractions isolated from barley roots revealed that lipoxygenase (LOX) activity occurred both extra- and intracellulary. Cadmium (Cd)-induced LOX activity was observed in the fraction containing cell walls, plasma membrane and the cytoplasm. High temperature-induced root growth inhibition and elevated LOX activity did not induce lipid peroxidation. In contrast, Cd inhibited root growth and caused both enhanced lipid peroxidation and elevated LOX activity at each of the temperatures analyzed. Spatial distribution studies revealed that the patterns of apoplastic LOX activity were different from those of cytoplasmic activity. Cd-induced intracellular LOX activity increased equally along the barley root tip, while Cd-induced apoplastic LOX activity was associated mainly with the differentiation zone of the barley root tip. Our results suggest the involvement of Cd-induced LOX activity in the premature differentiation of the barley root tip during Cd stress. We hypothesize that the role of LOX in plant metabolic processes in the root may depend on the level of reactive oxygen species in the roots: at physiological concentrations of ROS, LOX may be involved in the processes of root growth, while at the elevated harmful concentrations of ROS induced by different stress conditions, it may be involved in root growth inhibition through ectopic differentiation. 相似文献

A barley cDNA macroarray comprising 1,440 unique genes was used to analyze the spatial and temporal patterns of gene expression
in embryo, scutellum and endosperm tissue during different stages of germination. Among the set of expressed genes, 69 displayed
the highest mRNA level in endosperm tissue, 58 were up-regulated in both embryo and scutellum, 11 were specifically expressed
in the embryo and 16 in scutellum tissue. Based on Blast X analyses, 70% of the differentially expressed genes could be assigned
a putative function. One set of genes, expressed in both embryo and scutellum tissue, included functions in cell division,
protein translation, nucleotide metabolism, carbohydrate metabolism and some transporters. The other set of genes expressed
in endosperm encodes several metabolic pathways including carbohydrate and amino acid metabolism as well as protease inhibitors
and storage proteins. As shown for a storage protein and a trypsin inhibitor, the endosperm of the germinating barley grain
contains a considerable amount of residual mRNA which was produced during seed development and which is degraded during early
stages of germination. Based on similar expression patterns in the endosperm tissue, we identified 29 genes which may undergo
the same degradation process.
