Starch branching enzymes (SBE) which catalyse the formation of α-1,6-glucan linkages are of crucial importance for the quantity and quality of starch synthesized in plants. In maize (Zea mays L.), three SBE isoforms (SBEI, IIa and IIb) have been identified and shown to exhibit differential expression patterns. As a first step toward understanding the regulatory mechanisms controlling their expression, we isolated and sequenced a maize genomic DNA (−2190 to +5929) which contains the entire coding region of SBEI (Sbe1) as well as 5′-and 3′-flanking sequences. Using this clone, we established a complete genomic organization of the maize Sbe1 gene. The transcribed region consists of 14 exons and 13 introns, distributed over 5.7 kb. A consensus TATA-box and a G-box containing a perfect palindromic sequence, CCACGTGG, were found in the 5′-flanking region. Genomic Southern blot analysis indicated that two Sbe1 genes with divergent 5′-flanking sequences exist in the maize genome, suggesting the possibility that they are differentially regulated. A chimeric construct containing the 5′-flanking region of Sbe1 (−2190 to +27) fused to the β-glucuronidase gene (pKG101) showed promoter activity after it was introduced into maize endosperm suspension cells by particle bombardment. 相似文献

In maize, three isoforms of starch-branching enzyme, SBEI, SBEIIa, and SBEIIb, are encoded by the Sbe1a, Sbe2a, and Amylose extender (Ae) genes, respectively. The objective of this research was to explore the effects of null mutations in the Sbe1a and Ae genes alone and in combination in wx background on kernel characteristics and on the morphology and physical behavior of endosperm starch granules. Differences in kernel morphology and weight, starch accumulation, starch granule size and size distribution, starch microstructure, and thermal properties were observed between the ae wx and sbe1a ae wx plants but not between the sbe1a wx mutants when compared to wx. Starch from sbe1a ae wx plants exhibited a larger granule size with a wider gelatinization temperature range and a lower endotherm enthalpy than ae wx. Microscopy shows weaker iodine staining in sbe1a ae wx starch granules. X-ray diffraction revealed A-type crystallinity in wx and sbe1a wx starches and B-type in sbe1a ae wx and ae wx. This study suggests that, while the SBEIIb isoform plays a dominant role in maize endosperm starch synthesis, SBEI also plays a role, which is only observable in the presence of the ae mutation. 相似文献

The dynamic changes of the activities of enzymes involving in starch biosynthesis, including ADP-glucose pyrophosphorylase (AGPase), soluble starch synthases (SSS), starch branching enzyme (SBE) and starch debranching enzymes (DBE) were studied, and changes of fine structure of amy- lopectin were characterized by isoamylase treatment during rice grain development, using trans anti-waxy gene rice plants. The relationships between the activities of those key enzymes were also analyzed. The amylose synthesis was significantly inhibited in transgenic Wanjing 9522, but the total starch content and final grain weight were less affected as compared with those of non-transgenic Wanjing 9522 rice cultivar. Analyses on the changes of activities of enzymes involving in starch bio- synthesis showed that different enzyme activities were expressed differently during rice endosperm development. Soluble starch synthase is relatively highly expressed in earlier stage of endosperm de- velopment, whilst maximal expression of granule-bound starch synthase (GBSS) occurred in mid-stage of endosperm development. No obvious differences in changes of the activities of AGPase and SBE between two rice cultivars investigated, except the DBEs. Distribution patterns of branches of amy- lopectin changed continually during the development of rice grains and varied between two rice culti- vars. It was suggested that amylopectin synthesis be prior to the synthesis of amylose and different enzymes have different roles in controlling syntheses of branches of amylopectin. 相似文献

The maize cob presents an excellent opportunity to screen visually for mutations affecting assimilate partitioning in the developing kernel. We have identified a defective kernel mutant termed rgf1, reduced grain filling, with a final grain weight 30% of the wild type. In contrast with most defective endosperm mutants, rgf1 shows gene dosage-dependent expression in the endosperm. rgf1 kernels possess a small endosperm incompletely filling the papery pericarp, but embryo development is unaffected and the seeds are viable. The mutation conditions defective pedicel development and greatly reduces expression of endosperm transfer layer-specific markers. rgf1 exhibits striking morphological similarities to the mn1 mutant, but maps to a locus approximately 4 cM away from mn1 on chromosome 2 of maize. Despite reduced starch accumulation in the mutant, no obvious lesion in starch biosynthesis has been detected. Free sugar levels are unaltered in rgf1 endosperm. Rates of sugar uptake, measured over short (8 h) periods in cultured kernels, are increased in rgf1 compared to the wild type. rgf1 and wild-type kernels, excised at 5 DAP and cultured in vitro also develop differently in response to variations in sugar regime: glucose concentrations above 1% arrest placentochalazal development of rgf1 kernels, but have no effect on cultured wild-type kernels. These findings suggest that either uptake or perception of sugar(s) in endosperm cells at 5-10 DAP determines the rgf1 kernel phenotype. 相似文献

Starch branching enzyme IIb in wheat is expressed at low levels in the endosperm compared to other cereals and encoded at a non-syntenic locus 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2

Studies of maize starch branching enzyme mutants suggest that the amylose extender high amylose starch phenotype is a consequence of the lack of expression of the predominant starch branching enzyme II isoform
expressed in the endosperm, SBEIIb. However, in wheat, the ratio of SBEIIb and SBEIIa expression are inversely related to
the expression levels observed in maize and rice. Analysis of RNA at 15 days post anthesis suggests that there are about 4-fold
more RNA for SBE IIa than for SBE IIb. The genes for SBE IIa and SBE IIb from wheat are distinguished in the size of the first
three exons, allowing isoform-specific antibodies to be produced. These antibodies were used to demonstrate that in the soluble
fraction, the amount of SBE IIa protein is two to three fold higher than SBIIb, whereas in the starch granule, there is two
to three fold more SBE IIb protein amount than SBE IIa. In a further difference to maize and rice, the genes for SBE IIa and
SBE IIb are both located on the long arm of chromosome 2 in wheat, in a position not expected from rice–maize–wheat synteny. 相似文献

Spatial and temporal expression patterns of the sorghum SBEI, SBEIIA and SBEIIB genes, encoding, respectively, starch branching enzyme (SBE) I, IIA and IIB, in the developing endosperm of sorghum (Sorghum bicolor) were studied. Full-length genomic and cDNA clones for sorghum were cloned, and the SBEIIA cDNA was used together with gene-specific probes for sorghum SBEIIB and SBEI. In contrast to sorghum SBEIIB, which was expressed primarily in endosperm and embryo, SBEIIA was also expressed in vegetative tissues. All three genes shared a similar temporal expression profile during endosperm development, with a maximum activity at 15-24 d after pollination. This differed from barley and maize, in which SBEI gene activity showed a significantly later onset compared to that of SBEIIA and SBEIIB. Expression of the three SBE genes in the sorghum endosperm exhibited a diurnal rhythm during a 24-h cycle. 相似文献

Grain weight and grain number are important crop yield determinants. DA1 and DAR1 are the ubiquitin receptors that function as the negative regulators of cell proliferation during development in Arabidopsis. An arginine to lysine mutant at amino acid site 358 could lead to the da1‐1 phenotype, which results in an increased organ size and larger seeds. In this study, the mutated ZmDA1 (Zmda1) and mutated ZmDAR1 (Zmdar1) driven by the maize ubiquitin promoter were separately introduced into maize elite inbred line DH4866. The grain yield of the transgenic plants was 15% greater than that of the wild‐type in 3 years of field trials due to improvements in the grain number, weight and starch content. Interestingly, the over‐expression of Zmda1 and Zmdar1 promoted kernel development, resulting in a more developed basal endosperm transfer cell layer (BETL) than WT and enhanced expression of starch synthase genes. This study suggests that the over‐expression of the mutated ZmDA1 or ZmDAR1 genes improves the sugar imports into the sink organ and starch synthesis in maize kernels. 相似文献

控制水稻胚乳淀粉合成代谢若干关键酶基因对花后高温的响应表达 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
以稻米品质温度敏感型的早籼稻品种嘉早935为材料,利用人工气候箱控温试验和实时荧光定量PCR技术,探讨了不同灌浆温度(日均温分别为22和32 ℃)处理下胚乳淀粉分支酶(SBE)、淀粉去分支酶(DBE)和淀粉合酶(SS)的10个同工型基因(sbe1、sbe3、sbe4、pul、isa1、isa2、isa3、Wx、sss1和sss2a)的相对表达量差异及动态变化特征.结果表明: 淀粉合成相关功能基因对水稻灌浆期高温胁迫的响应表达方式存在明显差异,而且因同工型的类型而不同.在高温处理下,sbe1和sbe3的相对表达量显著下降,二者属于SBE类基因中对高温胁迫较敏感的主要同工型;DBE基因中,pul属于高表达的同工型,而且其对高温胁迫响应比isa1、isa2和isa3敏感;在Wx、sss1和sss2a中,sss2a的相对表达量显著低于sss1和Wx, 但sss2a和sss1对高温胁迫响应比Wx敏感,因此二者可能也是高温胁迫对胚乳淀粉结构进行调控的重要位点,尤其在水稻灌浆的中后期发挥重要作用. 相似文献

We have identified a novel means to achieve substantially increased vegetative biomass and oilseed production in the model plant Arabidopsis thaliana. Endogenous isoforms of starch branching enzyme (SBE) were substituted by either one of the endosperm‐expressed maize (Zea mays L.) branching isozymes, ZmSBEI or ZmSBEIIb. Transformants were compared with the starch‐free background and with the wild‐type plants. Each of the maize‐derived SBEs restored starch biosynthesis but both morphology and structure of starch particles were altered. Altered starch metabolism in the transformants is associated with enhanced biomass formation and more‐than‐trebled oilseed production while maintaining seed oil quality. Enhanced oilseed production is primarily due to an increased number of siliques per plant whereas oil content and seed number per silique are essentially unchanged or even modestly decreased. Introduction of cereal starch branching isozymes into oilseed plants represents a potentially useful strategy to increase biomass and oilseed production in related crops and manipulate the structure and properties of leaf starch. 相似文献
