Synthesis of trehalose in the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae is catalysed by the trehalose-6-phosphate (Tre6 P ) synthase/phosphatase complex, which is composed of at least three different subunits encoded by the genes TPS1 , TPS2 , and TSL1 . Previous studies indicated that Tps1 and Tps2 carry the catalytic activities of trehalose synthesis, namely Tre6 P synthase (Tps1) and Tre6 P phosphatase (Tps2), while Tsl1 was suggested to have regulatory functions. In this study two different approaches have been used to clarify the molecular composition of the trehalose synthase complex as well as the functional role of its potential subunits. Two-hybrid analyses of the in vivo interactions of Tps1, Tps2, Tsl1, and Tps3, a protein with high homology to Tsl1, revealed that both Tsl1 and Tps3 can interact with Tps1 and Tps2; the latter two proteins also interact with each other. In addition, trehalose metabolism upon heat shock was analysed in a set of 16 isogenic yeast strains carrying deletions of TPS1 , TPS2 , TSL1 , and TPS3 in all possible combinations. These results not only confirm the previously suggested roles for Tps1 and Tps2, but also provide, for the first time, evidence that Tsl1 and Tps3 may share a common function with respect to regulation and/or structural stabilization of the Tre6 P synthase/phosphatase complex in exponentially growing, heat-shocked cells. 相似文献

In the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae, TPS1-encoded trehalose-6-phosphate synthase (TPS) exerts an essential control on the influx of glucose into glycolysis, presumably by restricting hexokinase activity. Deletion of TPS1 results in severe hyperaccumulation of sugar phosphates and near absence of ethanol formation. To investigate whether trehalose 6-phosphate (Tre6P) is the sole mediator of hexokinase inhibition, we have reconstituted ethanolic fermentation from glucose in permeabilized spheroplasts of the wild-type, tps1Delta and tps2Delta (Tre6P phosphatase) strains. For the tps1Delta strain, ethanol production was significantly lower and was associated with hyperaccumulation of Glu6P and Fru6P. A tps2Delta strain shows reduced accumulation of Glu6P and Fru6P both in intact cells and in permeabilized spheroplasts. These results are not consistent with Tre6P being the sole mediator of hexokinase inhibition. Reconstitution of ethanolic fermentation in permeabilized spheroplasts with glycolytic intermediates indicates additional target site(s) for the Tps1 control. Addition of Tre6P partially shifts the ethanol production rate and the metabolite pattern in permeabilized tps1Delta spheroplasts to those of the wild-type strain, but only with glucose as substrate. This is observed at a very high ratio of glucose to Tre6P. Inhibition of hexokinase activity by Tre6P is less efficiently counteracted by glucose in permeabilized spheroplasts compared to cell extracts, and this effect is largely abolished by deletion of TPS2 but not TPS1. In permeabilized spheroplasts, hexokinase activity is significantly lower in a tps2Delta strain compared to a wild-type strain and this difference is strongly reduced by additional deletion of TPS1. These results indicate that Tps1-mediated protein-protein interactions are important for control of glucose influx into yeast glycolysis, that Tre6P inhibition of hexokinase might not be competitive with respect to glucose in vivo and that also Tps2 appears to play a role in the control of hexokinase activity. 相似文献

The TPS1 gene from Hansenula polymorpha, which encodes trehalose-6-phosphate (Tre6P) synthase, has been isolated and characterized. The deletion of TPS1 rendered H. polymorpha cells incapable of trehalose synthesis under conditions where wild-type cells normally accumulate high levels of trehalose. Interestingly, the loss of Tre6P synthase did not cause any obvious growth defects on a glucose-containing medium, even at high temperatures, but seriously compromised the cells' ability to acquire thermotolerance. 相似文献

Axenically grown Arabidopsis thaliana plants were analysed for the occurrence of trehalose. Using gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) analysis, trehalose was unambiguously identified in extracts from Arabidopsis inflorescences. In a variety of organisms, the synthesis of trehalose is catalysed by trehalose-6-phosphate synthase (TPS; EC 2.4.1.15) and trehalose-6-phosphate phosphatase (TPP; EC 3.1.3.12). Based on EST (expressed sequence tag) sequences, three full-length Arabidopsis cDNAs whose predicted protein sequences show extensive homologies to known TPS and TPP proteins were amplified by RACE-PCR. The expression of the corresponding genes, AtTPSA, AtTPSB and AtTPSC, and of the previously described TPS gene, AtTPS1, was analysed by quantitative RT-PCR. All of the genes were expressed in the rosette leaves, stems and flowers of Arabidopsis plants and, to a lower extent, in the roots. To study the role of the Arabidopsis genes, the AtTPSA and AtTPSC cDNAs were expressed in Saccharomyces cerevisiae mutants deficient in trehalose synthesis. In contrast to AtTPS1, expression of AtTPSA and AtTPSC in the tps1 mutant lacking TPS activity did not complement trehalose formation after heat shock or growth on glucose. In addition, no TPP function could be identified for AtTPSA and AtTPSC in complementation studies with the S. cerevisiae tps2 mutant lacking TPP activity. The results indicate that while AtTPS1 is involved in the formation of trehalose in Arabidopsis, some of the Arabidopsis genes with homologies to known TPS/TPP genes encode proteins lacking catalytic activity in trehalose synthesis. 相似文献

Tre6P (trehalose 6-phosphate) is implicated in sugar-signalling pathways in plants, but its exact functions in vivo are uncertain. One of the main obstacles to discovering these functions is the difficulty of measuring the amount of Tre6P in plant tissues. We have developed a highly specific assay, using liquid chromatography coupled to MS-Q3 (triple quadrupole MS), to measure Tre6P in the femto-picomole range. The Tre6P content of sucrose-starved Arabidopsis thaliana seedlings in axenic culture increased from 18 to 482 pmol x g(-1) FW (fresh weight) after adding sucrose. Leaves from soil-grown plants contained 67 pmol x g(-1) FW at the end of the night, which rose to 108 pmol x g(-1)FW after 4 h of illumination. Even greater changes in Tre6P content were seen after a 6 h extension of the dark period, and in the starchless mutant, pgm. The intracellular concentration of Tre6P in wild-type leaves was estimated to range from 1 to 15 microM. It has recently been reported that the addition of Tre6P to isolated chloroplasts leads to redox activation of AGPase (ADPglucose pyrophosphorylase) [Kolbe, Tiessen, Schluepmann, Paul, Ulrich and Geigenberger (2005) Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. U.S.A. 102, 11118-11123]. Using the new assay for Tre6P, we found that rising sugar levels in plants are accompanied by increases in the level of Tre6P, redox activation of AGPase and the stimulation of starch synthesis in vivo. These results indicate that Tre6P acts as a signalling metabolite of sugar status in plants, and support the proposal that Tre6P mediates sucrose-induced changes in the rate of starch synthesis. 相似文献

Trehalose is a non-reducing disaccharide that is present in diverse organisms ranging from bacteria and fungi to invertebrates, in which it serves as an energy source, osmolyte or protein/membrane protectant. The occurrence of trehalose and trehalose biosynthesis pathway in plants has been discovered recently. Multiple studies have revealed regulatory roles of trehalose-6-phosphate, a precursor of trehalose, in sugar metabolism, growth and development in plants. Trehalose levels are generally quite low in plants but may alter in response to environmental stresses. Transgenic plants overexpressing microbial trehalose biosynthesis genes have been shown to contain increased levels of trehalose and display drought, salt and cold tolerance. In.silico expression profiling of all Arabidopsis trehalose-6-phosphate synthases (TPSs) and trehalose-6-phosphate phosphatases (TPPs) revealed that certain classes of TPS and TPP genes are differentially regulated in response to a variety of abiotic stresses. These studies point to the importance of trehalose biosynthesis in stress responses. 相似文献

Trehalose is a non‐reducing disaccharide that is present in diverse organisms ranging from bacteria and fungi to invertebrates, in which it serves as an energy source, osmolyte or protein/membrane protectant. The occurrence of trehalose and trehalose biosynthesis pathway in plants has been discovered recently. Multiple studies have revealed regulatory roles of trehalose‐6‐phosphate, a precursor of trehalose, in sugar metabolism, growth and development in plants. Trehalose levels are generally quite low in plants but may alter in response to environmental stresses. Transgenic plants overexpressing microbial trehalose biosynthesis genes have been shown to contain increased levels of trehalose and display drought, salt and cold tolerance. In‐silico expression profiling of all Arabidopsis trehalose‐6‐phosphate synthases (TPSs) and trehalose‐6‐phosphate phosphatases (TPPs) revealed that certain classes of TPS and TPP genes are differentially regulated in response to a variety of abiotic stresses. These studies point to the importance of trehalose biosynthesis in stress responses. 相似文献

The aim of this study was to isolate and characterize a trehalose‐synthesizing enzyme from Euglena gracilis Klebs. After purification by anion exchange chromatography, gel filtration, isoelectric focusing, and native electrophoresis, trehalose‐6‐phosphate synthase (TPS, EC 2.4.1.15) and trehalose‐6‐phosphate phosphatase (TPP, EC 3.1.3.12) activities could not be separated. Consequently, a TPS/TPP enzyme complex of about 250 kDa was suggested as responsible for trehalose synthesis in E. gracilis. The TPS activity was shown to be highly specific for glucose‐6‐P, and UDP‐Glc was the preferred glucose donor, but GDP‐Glc and CDP‐Glc could also act as TPS substrates. The TPP activity was highly specific for trehalose‐6‐P. In vitro phosphorylation assays revealed rapid decreases in TPS and TPP activities. These changes corresponded to variations in the elution profile of gel filtration chromatography after the phosphorylation treatment. Taken together, these results suggest that the proposed TPS/TPP complex might be regulated through a protein phosphorylation/dephosphorylation‐mediated mechanism that could affect the association state of the complex. Such a regulatory mechanism might lead to a rapid change in trehalose synthesis in response to variations in environmental conditions. 相似文献

The genes for trehalose synthesis in Thermus thermophilus RQ-1, namely otsA [trehalose-phosphate synthase (TPS)], otsB [trehalose-phosphate phosphatase (TPP)], and treS [trehalose synthase (maltose converting) (TreS)] genes are structurally linked. The TPS/TPP pathway plays a role in osmoadaptation, since mutants unable to synthesize trehalose via this pathway were less osmotolerant, in trehalose-deprived medium, than the wild-type strain. The otsA and otsB genes have now been individually cloned and overexpressed in Escherichia coli and the corresponding recombinant enzymes purified. The apparent molecular masses of TPS and TPP were 52 and 26 kDa, respectively. The recombinant TPS utilized UDP-glucose, TDP-glucose, ADP-glucose, or GDP-glucose, in this order as glucosyl donors, and glucose-6-phosphate as the glucosyl acceptor to produce trehalose-6-phosphate (T6P). The recombinant TPP catalyzed the dephosphorylation of T6P to trehalose. This enzyme also dephosphorylated G6P, and this activity was enhanced by NDP-glucose. TPS had an optimal activity at about 98°C and pH near 6.0; TPP had a maximal activity near 70°C and at pH 7.0. The enzymes were extremely thermostable: at 100°C, TPS had a half-life of 31 min, and TPP had a half-life of 40 min. The enzymes did not require the presence of divalent cations for activity; however, the presence of Co2+ and Mg2+ stimulates both TPS and TPP. This is the first report of the characterization of TPS and TPP from a thermophilic organism. 相似文献

In the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae inactivation of trehalose-6-phosphate (Tre6P) synthase (Tps1) encoded by the TPS1 gene causes a specific growth defect in the presence of glucose in the medium. The growth inhibition is associated with deregulation of the initial part of glycolysis. Sugar phosphates, especially fructose-1,6-bisphosphate (Fru1,6bisP), hyperaccumulate while the levels of ATP, Pi and downstream metabolites are rapidly depleted. This was suggested to be due to the absence of Tre6P inhibition on hexokinase. Here we show that overexpression of Tre6P (as well as glucose-6-phosphate (Glu6P))-insensitive hexokinase from Schizosaccharomyces pombe in a wild-type strain does not affect growth on glucose but still transiently enhances initial sugar phosphate accumulation. We have in addition replaced the three endogenous glucose kinases of S. cerevisiae by the Tre6P-insensitive hexokinase from S. pombe. High hexokinase activity was measured in cell extracts and growth on glucose was somewhat reduced compared to an S. cerevisiae wild-type strain but expression of the Tre6P-insensitive S. pombe hexokinase never caused the typical tps1Delta phenotype. Moreover, deletion of TPS1 in this strain expressing only the Tre6P-insensitive S. pombe hexokinase still resulted in a severe drop in growth capacity on glucose as well as sensitivity to millimolar glucose levels in the presence of excess galactose. In this case, poor growth on glucose was associated with reduced rather than enhanced glucose influx into glycolysis. Initial glucose transport was not affected. Apparently, deletion of TPS1 causes reduced activity of the S. pombe hexokinase in vivo. Our results show that Tre6P inhibition of hexokinase is not the major mechanism by which Tps1 controls the influx of glucose into glycolysis or the capacity to grow on glucose. In addition, they show that a Tre6P-insensitive hexokinase can still be controlled by Tps1 in vivo. 相似文献

Improved drought tolerance without undesired side effects in transgenic plants producing trehalose 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2

Most organisms naturally accumulating trehalose upon stress produce the sugar in a two-step process by the action of the enzymes
trehalose-6-phosphate synthase (TPS) and trehalose-6-phosphate phosphatase (TPP). Transgenic plants overexpressing TPS have
shown enhanced drought tolerance in spite of minute accumulation of trehalose, amounts believed to be too small to provide
a protective function. However, overproduction of TPS in plants has also been found combined with pleiotropic growth aberrations.
This paper describes three successful strategies to circumvent such growth defects without loosing the improved stress tolerance.
First, we introduced into tobacco a double construct carrying the genes TPS1 and TPS2 (encoding TPP) from Saccharomyces cerevisiae. Both genes are regulated by an Arabidopsis RuBisCO promoter from gene AtRbcS1A giving constitutive production of both enzymes. The second strategy involved stress-induced expression by fusing the coding
region of ScTPS1 downstream of the drought-inducible Arabidopsis
AtRAB18 promoter. In transgenic tobacco plants harbouring genetic constructs with either ScTPS1 alone, or with ScTPS1 and ScTPS2 combined, trehalose biosynthesis was turned on only when the plants experienced stress. The third strategy involved the use
of AtRbcS1A promoter together with a transit peptide in front of the coding sequence of ScTPS1, which directed the enzyme to the chloroplasts. This paper confirms that the enhanced drought tolerance depends on unknown
ameliorated water retention as the initial water status is the same in control and transgenic plants and demonstrates the
influence of expression of heterologous trehalose biosynthesis genes on Arabidopsis root development. 相似文献

The disaccharide trehalose has long been recognized for its role as a stress solute, but in recent years some of the protective effects previously ascribed to trehalose have been suggested to arise from a function of the trehalose biosynthesis enzyme trehalose-6-phosphate (T6P) synthase that is distinct from its catalytic activity. In this study, we use the maize pathogenic fungus Fusarium verticillioides as a model to explore the relative contributions of trehalose itself and a putative secondary function of T6P synthase in protection against stress as well as to understand why, as shown in a previous study, deletion of the TPS1 gene coding for T6P synthase reduces pathogenicity against maize. We report that a TPS1-deletion mutant of F. verticillioides is compromised in its ability to withstand exposure to oxidative stress meant to simulate the oxidative burst phase of maize defense and experiences more ROS-induced lipid damage than the wild-type strain. Eliminating T6P synthase expression also reduces resistance to desiccation, but not resistance to phenolic acids. Expression of catalytically-inactive T6P synthase in the TPS1-deletion mutant leads to a partial rescue of the oxidative and desiccation stress-sensitive phenotypes, suggesting the importance of a T6P synthase function that is independent of its role in trehalose synthesis. 相似文献

It is currently thought that most flowering plants lack the capacity to synthesize trehalose, a common disaccharide of bacteria, fungi and invertebrates that appears to play a major role in desiccation tolerance. Attempts have therefore been made to render plants more drought-resistant by the expression of microbial genes for trehalose synthesis. It is demonstrated here that Arabidopsis thaliana itself possesses genes for at least one of the enzymes required for trehalose synthesis, trehalose-6-phosphate phosphatase. The yeast tps2 mutant, which lacks this enzyme, is heat-sensitive, and Arabidopsis cDNA able to complement this effect has been screened for. Half of the yeast transformants that grew at 38.6°C were also able to produce trehalose. All of these expressed one of two Arabidopsis cDNA, either AtTPPA or AtTPPB, which are both homologous to the C-terminal part of the yeast TPS2 gene and other microbial trehalose-6-phosphate phosphatases. Yeast tps2 mutants expressing AtTPPA or AtTPPB contained trehalose-6-phosphate phosphatase activity that could be measured both in vivo and in vitro. The enzyme dephosphorylated trehalose-6-phosphate but not glucose-6-phosphate or sucrose-6-phosphate. Both genes are expressed in flowers and young developing tissue of Arabidopsis. The finding of these novel Arabidopsis genes for trehalose-6-phosphate phosphatase strongly indicates that a pathway for trehalose biosynthesis exists in plants. 相似文献

Trehalose and the trehalose biosynthetic pathway are important contributors and regulators of stress responses in plants. Among recent findings for trehalose and its metabolism, the role of signalling in the regulation of growth and development and its potential for use as a storage energy source can be listed. The xerophytic plant Capparis ovata (caper) is well adapted to drought and high temperature stress in arid and semi‐arid regions of the Mediterranean. The contribution of trehalose and the trehalose biosynthetic pathway to drought stress responses and tolerance in C. ovata are not known. We investigated the effects of PEG‐mediated drought stress in caper plants and analysed physiological parameters and trehalose biosynthetic pathway components, trehalose‐6‐phosphate synthase (TPS), trehalose‐6‐phosphate phosphatase (TPP), trehalase activity, trehalose and proline content in drought stress‐treated and untreated plants. Our results indicated that trehalose and the trehalose biosynthetic pathway contributed to drought stress tolerance of C. ovata. Overall growth and leaf water status were not dramatically affected by drought, as both high relative growth rate and relative water content were recorded even after 14 days of drought stress. Trehalose accumulation increased in parallel to induced TPS and TPP activities and decreased trehalase activity in caper plants on day 14. Constitutive trehalose levels were 28.75 to 74.75 μg·g·FW?1, and drought stress significantly induced trehalose accumulation (385.25 μg·g·FW?1 on day 14) in leaves of caper. On day 14 of drought, proline levels were lower than on day 7. Under drought stress the discrepancy between trehalose and proline accumulation trends might result from the mode of action of these osmoprotectant molecules in C. ovata. 相似文献
