Glutamine synthetase (GS) level is positively influenced by exogenously supplied sucrose in isolated pea roots (similarly as nitrate reductase - NR), glutamate dehydrogenase (GDH) level negatively. Comparison with previous results shows that GS level decreases more slowly than NR level when sucrose is omitted from the medium; the rate of changes in GS level corresponds rather to that in GDH level. The increase in GDH level in the tips of isolated roots cultivated in the medium lacking sucrose stops after approx. 24 h, but continues for at least 72 h in more mature root parts. GS level decreases during the first 24 h in the tips of isolated roots (compared with roots of intact seedlings) cultivated both with sucrose and without it (without sucrose more), however it again rises in the course of further cultivation with sucrose. The differences in GS and GDH levels caused by omission of sucrose are small in isolated roots from which root tips were removed, the difference in NR level in decapitated roots is similar to that found in isolated roots with root tips left. Decapitated isolated roots cultivated without sucrose contain higher amounts of soluble sugars than corresponding roots with root tips left. These facts are dismissed with regard to sugar consumption, transport, and compartmentalisation, and with respect to production in root tips and other plant parts of unknown compounds involved in GS and GDH regulation. The results obtained suggest that GDH functions in pea roots in the deaminating direction. 相似文献

Effect of some disaccharides, hexoses and pentoses on nitrate reductase, glutamine synthetase and glutamate dehydrogenase in excised pea roots 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2
The effects of exogenous sucrose, lactose, d -glucose, d (-)fructose, d -galactose, d -mannose, l -sorbose, l -arabinose and d -xylose on nitrate reductase (NR), glutamine synthetase (GS) and glutamate dehydrogenase (GDH) levels, on anaerobic nitrite production and on respiratory O2 consumption were studied in excised roots of pea (Pisum sativum L. cv. Raman). Sucrose, glucose and fructose increase NR and GS levels and decrease GDH level (when compared with roots cultures without any sugar) at all concentrations used, but the extent of this effect varies. NR induction is enhanced by all sugars within the concentration range studied. Precultivation of roots with mannose and galactose results in an increase in anaerobic nitrite production in a medium consisting of phosphate buffer and KNO3. GS reaches its maximum at lower sugar concentrations, this fact being especially clear-cut with galactose. The decrease in GS level observed in roots cultured without sucrose is enhanced by higher sorbose concentrations. The increase in GDH level occurring in roots cultured without sucrose is depressed by low galactose and mannose concentrations but enhanced by high galactose, mannose, xylose and a wide range of sorbose concentrations. Lactose exerts only slight influence on the enzymes. The effects of sugars are in no case consistent with their effect on respiratory O2 consumption which is most pronounced with NR. The above results show that the effects of sugars on NR, GS and GDH are not mediated by one universal mechanism. 相似文献

The effect of 2,4-dinitrophenol (2,4-DNP), NaN3, and iodoacetic acid (IDA) on glutamine synthetase (GS) and the effect of arsenate on GS, glutamate dehydrogenase (GDH) and
nitrate reductase (NR) was studied in isolated pea roots. In sucrose supplied roots, GS level is depressed by higher concentrations
of all the inhibitors tested and increased by lower (2 × and 3 × 10− M) concentrations of 2,4-DNP; the decrease in GS level caused by sugar starvation is enhanced by all but IDA. GDH is enhanced
by arsenate in a wider range of concentrations in sucrose-supplied roots than in roots cultivated without sucrose. NR is affected
by arsenate similarly as GS. 相似文献

Hydroxylamine added to the nutrient medium in sublethal concentrations (0.2 to 1.0 mN) enhanced NADH2 dependent glutamate dehydrogenase activity in isolated pea roots. The increase in activity depended on proteosynthesis and was lower in the presence of NO3 ? and NH4 + ions. The induction of nitrate reductase and of nitrite reductase was partly inhibited by sublethal hydroxylamine concentrations. 相似文献

Both nitrite reductase and nitrate reductase were induced by nitrite, but there were differences in the time course of induction and in the response to different NO2 - concentrations between these enzymes. NH4 + depressed the induction of nitrite reductase. NADH2 dependent glutamate dehydrogenase activity was enhanced by those NO2-concentrations in the medium at which unmetabolized NO2 - occurred in the roots. NADPH2 and NAD+ dependent GDh activities were not affected. In vivo modification and (or) in vivo activation were probably responsible for the increase in NADH2 dependent GDH activity. 相似文献

Nitrate reductase (NR) activity estimated byin vivo andin vitro methods in 17 days old pea seedlings is the highest in young fully expanded leaves (4th leaf from the stem base). NO3-N content is parallel to the NR activity being also highest in the 4th leaf. On the other hand the activity of glutamine
synthetase (GS) is the highest in the youngest leaves which had not yet reached their maximum size (5th leaf). Equilibrium
between NO3-N content and activity of enzymes involved in assimilation of nitrogen containing compounds in individual leaves is discussed
in relation to their insertion. 相似文献

Total activities of nitrate and nitrite reductases were higher in 4 to 20 day old maize plants in the leaves than in the roots. The ratio of activities found in the leaves and in the roots respectively was much higher in the case of nitrate reductase than in the case of nitrite reductase. On the other hand higher glutamate dehydrogenase activity in the roots than in the leaves clearly indicates that the roots play a more important role in the assimilation of ammonium than in the assimilation of nitrate. When comparing the distribution of seminal and nodal adventitious roots of maize seedlings with the assimilation of inorganic nitrogen on the basis of enzyme levels, it could be deduced that during the first 20 days of seedling growth seminal roots were more involved in the assimilation of nitrate whereas nodal adventitious roots were more active in ammonium assimilation. 相似文献

The effect of some ammonium salts on nitrate reductase (NR) level, onin vivo nitrate reduction and on nitrate content was followed in the presence of nitrate in the medium, under changing experimental conditions, in excisedPisum sativum roots, and their effect was compared with that of KNO3, Ca(NO3)2 and NaNO3 at 15 mM NO3 - concentration, i.e. at a concentration which considerably exceeded the level of saturation with nitrate with respect to nitrate reductase. The effect of ammonium salts on NR level is indirect and changes from a positive one to a strongly negative one which is dependent on the time of action of the salt, on the presence of other cations, on pH of the solution of the ammonium salt and on the nature of the anion of the ammonium salt. A positive effect on the enzyme level can be observed in the presence of other cations than NH4 + at suitable concentrations of those ammonium salts, the solutions of which have their pH values in the acid region (i.e. NH4H2PO4, (NH4)2SO4 and NH4NO3). However their positive effect is independent of the presence of NH4 + ions, and it is obviously the result of an increased concentration of H+ ions. A clear-cut negative effect on NR level can be observed after 24 h in one-salt NH4NO3 solution where NH4 + is not balanced with other cations and thus certainly can adversely influence many metabolic processes, and in the solutions containing neutral (pH 6.2) and dibasic ammonium phosphates in which dissolved undissociated ammonia [(NH3). (H2O) which can also affect many metabolic processes incl. proteosynthesis] probably has a toxic influence. Thein vivo nitrate reduction is always depressed in excised pea roots in the presence of ammonium salts in the medium, regardless of the level of nitrate reductase. Under the described conditions, no relationship could be established between the enzyme level and the so-called metabolic NO3 - pool (i.e. NO2 - production under anaerobic conditions), nor between NR level and the total nitrate content in the roots. One-salt solutions of NaNO3, Ca(NO3)2 and KNO3 exert different effects on the level of nitrate reductase and on the content of NO3 - in the roots, but the in vivo NO3 - reduction shows the same trend as NR level in the roots influenced by these salts. Cl- ions, supplied in NH4C1, depress both NR level and NO3 - content in the roots at higher concentrations, but they do not significantly affect the in vivo nitrate reduction in comparison with other ammonium salts. These results indicate that NR level,in vivo nitrate reduction, and nitrate uptake can be regulated in pea roots independently of each other. 相似文献

The effect was studied of chloride ions, added in the form of different salts, on nitrate reductase (NR) level in excised pea roots, on anaerobic nitrite production in an assay medium lacking both nitrate and n-propanol, on nitrate content in the roots, and on in vivo NR activity determined in an assay medium containing 5% n-propanol. The presence of Cl in nitrate containing nutrient solutions resulted in lower NR levels, however counterions supplied together with Cl tended to modify slightly this general trend. The negative effect of Cl ions was also apparent, when Cl ions were applied before nitrate ions. Anaerobic nitrite production in the medium lacking both nitrate and n-propanol was not influenced by chloride ions. Nitrate content in the roots was reduced in the presence of chloride both at 3 mM and 15 mM NO3 in nutrient solutions; however, at 16 mM NO3, nitrate content in the roots exoeeded even in the presence of 15 mM Cl nitrate content in those root segments which were cultivated in a nutrient solution with 6 mM nitrate, which is the concentration at which NR reaches the level of saturation in excised pea roots. The results obtained suggest that a special induction nitrate pool exists in plant cells besides the storage and metabolic nitrate pools. 相似文献

Banding patterns of nitrate reductase (NR), nitrite reductase (NiR), and glutamine synthetase (GS) from leaves of diploid barley (Hordeum vulgare), tetraploid wheat (Triticum durum), hexaploid wheat (Triticum aestivum), and tetraploid wild oats (Avena barbata) were compared following starch gel electrophoresis. Two NR isozymes, which appeared to be under different regulatory control, were observed in each of the three species. The activity of the more slowly migrating nitrate reductase isozyme (NR1) was induced by NO3- in green seedlings and cycloheximide inhibited induction. However, the activity of the faster NR isozyme (NR2) was unaffected by addition of KNO3, and it was not affected by treatments of cycloheximide or chloramphenicol. Only a single isozyme of nitrite reductase was detected in surveys of three tetraploid and 18 hexaploid wheat, and 48 barley accessions; however, three isozymes associated with different ecotypes were detected in the wild oats. Inheritance patterns showed that two of the wild oat isozymes were governed by a single Mendelian locus with two codominant alleles; however, no variation was detected for the third isozyme. Treatment of excised barely and wild oat seedlings with cycloheximide and chloramphenicol showed that induction of NiR activity was greatly inhibited by cycloheximide, but only slightly by chloramphenicol. Only a single GS isozyme was detected in extracts of green leaves of wheat, barley, and wild oat seedlings. No electrophoretic variation was observed within or among any of these three species. Thus, this enzyme appears to be the most structurally conserved of the three enzymes. 相似文献

Some properties of glutamate dehydrogenase,glutamine synthetase and glutamate synthase from Corynebacterium callunae 总被引:4,自引:0,他引:4

Characteristics of the three major ammonia assimilatory enzymes, glutamate dehydrogenase (GDH), glutamine synthetase (GS) and glutamate synthase (GOGAT) in Corynebacterium callunae (NCIB 10338) were examined. The GDH of C. callunae specifically required NADPH and NADP+ as coenzymes in the amination and deamination reactions, respectively. This enzyme showed a marked specificity for -ketoglutarate and glutamate as substrates. The optimum pH was 7.2 for NADPH-GDH activity (amination) and 9.0 for NADP+-GDH activity (deamination). The results showed that NADPH-GDH and NADP+-GDH activities were controlled primarily by product inhibition and that the feedback effectors alanine and valine played a minor role in the control of NADPH-GDH activity. The transferase activity of GS was dependent on Mn+2 while the biosynthetic activity of the enzyme was dependent on Mg2+ as essential activators. The pH optima for transferase and biosynthetic activities were 8.0 and 7.0, respectively. In the transfer reaction, the K
m values were 15.2 mM for glutamine, 1.46 mM for hydroxylamine, 3.5×10-3 mM for ADP and 1.03 mM for arsenate. Feedback inhibition by alanine, glycine and serine was also found to play an important role in controlling GS activity. In addition, the enzyme activity was sensitive to ATP. The transferase activity of the enzyme was responsive to ionic strength as well as the specific monovalent cation present. GOGAT of C. callunae utilized either NADPH or NADH as coenzymes, although the latter was less effective. The enzyme specifically required -ketoglutarate and glutamine as substrates. In cells grown in a medium with glutamate as the nitrogen source, the optimum pH was 7.6 for NADPH-GOGAT activity and 6.8 for NADH-GOGAT activity. Findings showed that NADPH-GOGAT and NADH-GOGAT activities were controlled by product inhibition caused by NADP+ and NAD+, respectively, and that ATP also had an important role in the control of NADPH-GOGAT activity. Both activities of GOGAT were found to be inhibited by azaserine.Abbreviations GDH

Regulation of synthesis of glutamate dehydrogenase and glutamine synthetase in micro-organisms 总被引:9,自引:1,他引:8

1. Aspergillus nidulans, Neurospora crassa and Escherichia coli were grown on media containing a range of concentrations of nitrate, or ammonia, or urea, or l-glutamate, or l-glutamine as the sole source of nitrogen and the glutamate dehydrogenate and glutamine synthetase of the cells measured. 2. Aspergillus, Neurospora and Escherichia coli cells, grown on l-glutamate or on high concentrations of ammonia or on high concentrations of urea, possessed low glutamate dehydrogenase activity compared with cells grown on other nitrogen sources. 3. Aspergillus, Neurospora and Escherichia coli cells grown on l-glutamate possessed high glutamine synthetase activity compared with cells grown on other nitrogen sources. 4. The hypothesis is proposed that in Aspergillus, Neurospora and Escherichia colil-glutamate represses the synthesis of glutamate dehydrogenase and l-glutamine represses the synthesis of glutamine synthetase. 5. A comparison of the glutamine-synthesizing activity and the gamma-glutamyltransferase activity of glutamine synthetase in Aspergillus and Neurospora gave no indication that these fungi produce different forms of glutamine synthetase when grown on ammonia or l-glutamate as nitrogen sources. 相似文献

The effect of NaCI stress on the activities of nitrate reductase (NR), glutamate dehydrogenase (GDH) and glutamate synthase
(GOGAT) in callus lines ofVigna radiata which differ in salt resistance, was studied at weekly intervals upto 28 d of growth. After 28 d, the NaCI resistant callus
(selected at 300 mM NaCI) at NaCI concentrations higher than 200 mM maintained higher NR activity than non-selected line.
NaCI stress also affects aminating and deaminating activities of GDH. The NADH-GDH activity in the presence of NaCI was higher
in the resistant than non-selected line. On the other hand, NAD-GDH activity in both the lines was completely inhibited after
7 d of growth. The increased activity of NADH-GDH in resistant calli may play a vital role in protecting the cells from toxic
effect of increased endogenous level of ammonia which probably accumulates due to efficient NO3
− reduction. NADH-GOGAT activity was found to decrease under salt stress in both the callus lines. Nitrogen assimilation in
salt-resistant calli under salt stress was found to be characterized by high NR and NADH-GDH activities, concomitantly with
low GOGAT activity.

Nitrate reductase (NR) induction is enhanced by exogenously supplied sucrose in excised pea roots exposed to both exogenous nitrate and exogenous nitrite. NR synthesis is preferentially supported by sugars transported to the cells at the moment, however NR induction can take place for some time without exogenous sugar influx if roots are saturated with sugars during precultivation. Steady high NR levels are dependent on steady sugar and nitrate influxes. NR induction is low in roots precultivated for 20 h without sucrose although sugar content is still high in them. This suggests that compartmentation of sugars in the cells is of major importance during NR induction. Total nitrate content in roots exposed to nitrate is not influenced by sucrose supplied together with nitrate. Some nitrite is oxidized to nitrate in roots exposed to exogenous nitrite ; we assume that this nitrate is responsible for NR induction. Our results indicate that sugars, besides many indirect effects on NR induction, may also directly influence NR synthesis either as coinducers or as derepressors of NR synthesis. Our results further show that NR is not a product-inducible enzyme. 相似文献

The activities of arginase, glutamine synthetase (GS) and glutamate dehydrogenase (GDH) were studied in both moist chilled
(5°C) and warm (27°C) incubated walnut (Juglans regia. L) kernels to asses whether the non-germinability of dormant kernels is associated with failure in amino acid metabolism.
Warm-incubated kernels showed low germination (25%), whereas cold-stratified kernels displayed germination up to 61%. Arginase
activity increased about twofold in imbibed kernels. It remained at a high level in cold-stratified kernels from mid-period
of incubation onwards; however, in warm-incubated kernels the activity declined after an initial increase so that by 20 days,
it was negligible. No significant differences in GS activity occurred between cold-stratified and warm-incubated kernels,
but the activity of GDH was significantly more in kernels incubated at warm conditions. Thin-layer chromatographic separation
of polyamines revealed greater ammonia, spermidine and an unknown polyamine accumulation in warm-incubated kernels. Thus,
the declined rate of walnut kernel germination under warm conditions is mainly correlated with rapid inactivation of arginase,
greater levels of ammonia and alterations in kernel polyamine composition. The enhanced activity of GDH in warm-incubated
kernels implies that catabolic deamination of amino acids and their subsequent respiration is the favored pathway ongoing
under warm conditions. This situation compromises germination-specific metabolism of amino acids which likely to operate better
at lower temperatures during cold stratification of kernels. 相似文献

The effect of different carbon and nitrogen sources on the activity of glutamine synthetase and glutamate dehydrogenase in lupine embryonic axes 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
Embryos of yellow lupine ( Lupinus luteus L. cv. Jantar), deprived of cotyledons, were incubated for 72 h in media containing various combinations of saccharose, ammonia, nitrate, glutamine and asparagine. Induction of glutamine synthetase (GS) was observed in embryos in media containing saccharose while the activity of this enzyme was inhibited by glutamine, asparagine and ammonia in the absence of sugar. The above mentioned nutritional factors had an opposite effect on the activity of glutamate dehydrogenase (GDH). Changes in glutamate dehydrogenase activity were preceded by reverse changes in the activity of glutamine synthetase. The possibility of GDH repression by GS in lupine embryos is discussed. 相似文献

In a study on 3-day maize (Zea mays) seedlings, grown on nitrate, requirements were established for the maximum extraction and optimum stabilization of nitrate reductase in vitro. With the primary root, 5 mm cysteine were required in the extraction medium, but for the scutellum, which has a high level of endogenous thiol, the use of additional thiol resulted in a reduced yield of a more labile enzyme. Activity of the root and scutella nitrate reductase was obtained with either NADH or NADPH, but that of the root enzyme with NADPH was only demonstrated in the absence of phosphate.Before leaf expansion, the nitrate reductase in the maize seedling was mainly in the scutellum. The enzyme present in the primary root was predominantly in the apical region (0-2 mm). In contrast, glutamate dehydrogenase was concentrated in the mature basal region of the root (30-60 mm). A high level of nitrate (approximately 100 mm) was required to saturate the induction of nitrate reductase in the root tip, mature root, and scutellum. The concentration of nitrate required to give half the maximum level of enzyme induced was the same for each region (29 mm).After leaf expansion, more than 90% of the nitrate reductase was in the shoot, mainly in the leaf blade, and a marked decrease occurred in the level of the enzyme in the scutellum. A large proportion of the glutamate dehydrogenase was still found in the root. 相似文献
