We present phylogenetic analyses to demonstrate that there are three families of sucrose phosphate synthase (SPS) genes present
in higher plants. Two data sets were examined, one consisting of full-length proteins and a second larger set that covered
a highly conserved region including the 14-3-3 binding region and the UDPGlu active site. Analysis of both datasets showed
a well supported separation of known genes into three families, designated A, B, and C. The genomic sequences of Arabidopsis thaliana include a member in each family: two genes on chromosome 5 belong to Family A, one gene on chromosome 1 to Family B, and
one gene on chromosome 4 to Family C. Each of three Citrus genes belong to one of the three families. Intron/exon organization of the four Arabidopsis genes differed according to phylogenetic analysis, with members of the same family from different species having similar
genomic organization of their SPS genes. The two Family A genes on Arabidopsis chromosome 5 appear to be due to a recent duplication. Analysis of published literature and ESTs indicated that functional
differentiation of the families was not obvious, although B family members appear not to be expressed in roots. B family genes
were cloned from two Actinidia species and southern analysis indicated the presence of a single gene family, which contrasts to the multiple members of
Family A in Actinidia. Only two family C genes have been reported to date.

Photosynthetic Response to Water Stress in Phaseolus vulgaris 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
Water stressed Phaseolus vulgaris L. plants were monitored to detect the relationships between net photosynthesis, transpiration, boundary layer plus stomatal resistance, mesophyll resistance, CO2 compensation point, ribulose, 1,5-diphosphate carboxylase activity and leaf water potential. At full expansion, the first trifoliate leaves of greenhouse grown bean plants were subjected to water stress by withholding irrigation. Gas exchange and enzyme activity of the central trifoliolate leaflets were monitored as leaf water potential decreased. Although increased stomatal resistance appeared to be the primary causal factor of reduced net photosynthesis, increased mesophyll resistance and decreased ribulose 1,5-diphosphate carboxylase activity further documented the role of non-stomatal factors. 相似文献

We studied the effects of synthetic analogs of phytohormones (benzyladenine, IAA, and GA) on the activities of the enzymes catalyzing sucrose synthesis and metabolism, sucrose phosphate synthase (SPS, EC 2.4.1.14) and sucrose synthase (SS, EC 2.4.1.13), and on the content of chlorophyll and protein during the sugar-beet (Beta vulgaris L.) ontogeny. Plant spraying with phytohormonal preparations activated SPS in leaves; direct interaction between phytohormones and the enzyme also increased its activity. The degree of this activation differed during the ontogeny and in dependence on the compound used for treatment. Analogs of phytohormones maintained high protein level in leaves, retarded chlorophyll breakdown, and, thus, prolonged leaf functional activity during development. Phytohormonal preparations practically did not affect the SS activity both after plant treatment and at their direct interaction with the enzyme. It is supposed that the SS activity in sugar-beet roots is controlled by sucrose synthesized in leaves rather than by phytohormones. The effects of hormones on leaf metabolism were mainly manifested in growth activation. 相似文献

Sucrose Phosphate Synthase Activity Rises in Correlation with High-Rate Cellulose Synthesis in Three Heterotrophic Systems 总被引:10,自引:0,他引:10
Based on work with cotton fibers, a particulate form of sucrose (Suc) synthase was proposed to support secondary wall cellulose synthesis by degrading Suc to fructose and UDP-glucose. The model proposed that UDP-glucose was then channeled to cellulose synthase in the plasma membrane, and it implies that Suc availability in cellulose sink cells would affect the rate of cellulose synthesis. Therefore, if cellulose sink cells could synthesize Suc and/or had the capacity to recycle the fructose released by Suc synthase back to Suc, cellulose synthesis might be supported. The capacity of cellulose sink cells to synthesize Suc was tested by analyzing the Suc phosphate synthase (SPS) activity of three heterotrophic systems with cellulose-rich secondary walls. SPS is a primary regulator of the Suc synthesis rate in leaves and some Suc-storing, heterotrophic organs, but its activity has not been previously correlated with cellulose synthesis. Two systems analyzed, cultured mesophyll cells of Zinnia elegans L. var. Envy and etiolated hypocotyls of kidney beans (Phaseolus vulgaris), contained differentiating tracheary elements. Cotton (Gossypium hirsutum L. cv Acala SJ-1) fibers were also analyzed during primary and secondary wall synthesis. SPS activity rose in all three systems during periods of maximum cellulose deposition within secondary walls. The Z. elegans culture system was manipulated to establish a tight linkage between the timing of tracheary element differentiation and rising SPS activity and to show that SPS activity did not depend on the availability of starch for degradation. The significance of these findings in regard to directing metabolic flux toward cellulose will be discussed. 相似文献

Phaseolus vulgaris L. leaves were subjected to various light, CO2, and O2 levels and abscisic acid, then given a 10 minute pulse of 14CO2 followed by a 5 minute chase with unlabeled CO2. After the chase period, very little label remained in the ionic fractions (presumed to be mostly carbon reduction and carbon oxidation cycle intermediates and amino acids) except at low CO2 partial pressure. Most label was found in the neutral, alcohol soluble fraction (presumed sucrose) or in the insoluble fraction digestable by amyloglucosidase. Sucrose formation was linearly related to assimilation rate (slope = 0.35). Starch formation increased linearly with assimilation rate (slope = 0.56) but did not occur if the assimilation rate was below 4 micromoles per square meter per second. Neither abscisic acid, nor high CO2 in combination with low O2 (thought to disrupt control of carbon metabolism) caused significant perturbations of the sucrose/starch formation ratio. These studies indicate that the pathways for starch and sucrose synthesis both are controlled by the rate of net CO2 assimilation, with sucrose the preferred product at very low assimilation rates. 相似文献

Diurnal changes of sucrose-phosphate synthase (SPS) activity in different seasons were measured in Prosopis juliflora (Swartz) DC. leaves. SPS activity showed large variations with two distinct peaks, one around 09:00 and another at 21:00.
The diurnal pattern was apparently not due to circadian rhythm since the activities were directly related to the changes in
environmental parameters (irradiance, temperature, and leaf to air vapour pressure deficit) in different seasons. During the
day, the enzyme showed changes in kinetic properties, differential sensitivity to allosteric modulators, differential response
to ATP concentration, to concentration of endogenous sucrose, and to protein phosphatase inhibitors. These results taken together
indicate the modulation of SPS in synchrony with photosynthesis and suggest the existence of multiple levels of modulation,
presumably as an adaptive response to changing environmental extremes.

Short term experiments were conducted with vegetative soybean plants (Glycine max L. Merr. `Ransom' or `Arksoy') to determine whether sourcesink manipulations, which rapidly changed the `demand' for sucrose and partitioning of photosynthetically fixed carbon into starch, were associated with alterations in activities of sucrose-P synthase and/or cytoplasmic fructose-1,6-bisphosphatase in leaf extracts. When demand for sucrose from a particular source leaf was increased by defoliation of other source leaves, starch accumulation was restricted and activities of both enzymes were markedly enhanced. When demand for sucrose from source leaves was limited by excision, starch accumulation in the detached leaves was increased while activity of sucrose-P synthase declined sharply. The consistent responsiveness of sucrose-P synthase activity to changes in demand for sucrose supports the contention that regulation of sucrose-P synthase is an integral component of the system which controls sucrose biosynthesis and partitioning of carbon between starch and sucrose biosynthesis in the light. 相似文献

The aim of this work was to investigate whether sucrose synthesis in the cytosol of leaf cells is regulated in response to the supply of energy and organic carbon from the chloroplast. Fluxes into sucrose and metabolite levels in wheat (Triticum aestivum var Timmo) leaf protoplasts were compared in a range of light intensities and CO2 concentrations, showing that sucrose-phosphate synthase and the cytosolic fructose-1,6-bisphosphatase are inhibited in situ when the supply of trioseP from the chloroplasts decreases. Such a regulation might aid CO2 fixation in limiting conditions by permitting stromal metabolites to be maintained at higher levels than would otherwise be possible. 相似文献

Starch Accumulation and Photosynthetic Activity in Primary Leaves of Bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) 总被引:3,自引:0,他引:3
The effects of starch accumulation on photosynthesis and chloroplastultrastructure were studied in primary leaves of bean (Phaseolusvulgaris L. cv. Bulgarian). De-topping the shoot above the primaryleaf node, caused over an 8-day period, a considerable increasein the photosynthetic activity of the primary leaves, despitethe fact that a large quantity of starch had accumulated intheir chloroplasts. The accumulation of starch was greater inthe chloroplasts of spongy cells in comparison with that ofthe palisade cells. Initiation of starch grains was observedmainly in the peripheral part of the chloroplast, distant fromthe cell wall. As a result, most of the starch was accumulatedclose to the inner part of the cell, leaving a considerablemass of the chloroplast near the cell wall free of starch. Theaccumulation of starch was accompanied by the destruction, deformationand disorientation of grana and thylakoids. It is concludedthat the accumulation of starch is not inevitably a limitingfactor in photosynthesis and the results cast doubt on the hypothesisthat starch accumulation or dissipation is the main factor involvedin the regulation of photosynthesis.

The flow of carbon into sucrose and starch was investigated in fully expanded primary leaves of spinach using the long to short day transition and partial defoliation as tools to manipulate sucrose/starch synthesis. Transfer from 12 hour to 7 hour photosynthetic periods resulted in a 4-fold increase in the initial rate of starch synthesis, a 50% increase in the initial rate of sucrose synthesis, a 30% increase in leaf sucrose, and a 40% decrease in fructose, 2,6-biphosphate. In addition, sucrose synthesis rates in cells isolated from shortened daylength plants are 80% higher than in cells isolated from control plants. These results show that, in spinach, an increase in the rates of both sucrose and starch synthesis can occur under short day conditions. In contrast, when short day plants are partially defoliated, starch levels remain high, fructose 2,6-biphosphate levels remain low, but the level of leaf sucrose drops by 50%. Thus, when demand exceeds supply, starch synthesis has priority over filling of leaf sucrose pools in the short day plant. 相似文献

Sucrose phosphate synthase and acid invertase activities in the mature leaves of roses (Rosa hybrida cv Golden Times) were greater in plants grown under a higher night temperature than under a lower temperature regime. In young shoots, the activity of acid invertase was promoted by the lower temperature while that of sucrose synthase was increased at the higher temperature. At both temperatures benzyladenine when applied to the axillary bud stimulated sucrose phosphate synthase activity and advancement of its peak of activity in the leaf subtending to the bud, and also stimulated sucrose synthase activity in the young shoot. At the lower temperature, application of benzyladenine to the axillary bud stimulated acid invertase activity in the young shoot but not in the leaves. 相似文献

The effect of Chromium VI on leaf water potential (w), solutepotential (a), turgor potential (p) and relative water content(RWC) of primary and first trifoliatc leaves of Phaseolus vulgarisL. was studied under normal growth conditions and during anartificially induced water stress period in order to establishthe possible influence of this heavy metal on the water stressresistance of plants. Plants were grown on perlite with nutrientsolution containing 0, 10, 25, 50 or 100µg cm3 Cr as Na2Cr2O7.2H2O. The effect of Cr onwater relations was highly concentration dependent, and primaryand first trifoliate leaves were affected differently. The growthreducing concentrations of Cr (25, 50 and 100µg cm3) generally decreased s and w and increasedp in primary leaves. The 10 µg cm3 Cr treatmentdid not affect growth, but altered water relations substantially:in primary leaves w and p were increased and s decreased, whilein trifoliate leaves the effect was the opposite. All Cr treatedplants resisted water stress for longer than control plants.The higher water stress resistance may be due to the lower sand to the increased cell wall elasticity observed in Cr VItreated plants.

Sucrose synthase (SuSy) is considered the first key enzyme for secondary growth because it is a highly regulated cytosolic enzyme that catalyzes the reversible conversion of sucrose and UDP into UDP-glucose and fructose. Although SuSy enzymes preferentially functions in the direction of sucrose cleavage at most cellular condition, they also catalyze the synthetic reaction. We isolated a gene that encodes a SuSy from Populus simonii×Populus nigra and named it PsnSuSy2 because it shares high similarity to SuSy2 in Populus trichocarpa. RT-PCR revealed that PsnSuSy2 was highly expressed in xylem, but lowly expressed in young leaves. To characterize its functions in secondary growth, multiple tobacco overexpression transgenic lines of PnsSuSy2 were generated via Agrobacterium-mediated transformation. The PsnSuSy2 expression levels and altered wood properties in stem segments from the different transgenic lines were carefully characterized. The results demonstrated that the levels of PsnSuSy2 enzyme activity, chlorophyll content, total soluble sugars, fructose and glucose increased significantly, while the sucrose level decreased significantly. Consequently, the cellulose content and fiber length increased, whereas the lignin content decreased, suggesting that PsnSuSy2 plays a significant role in cleaving sucrose into UDP-glucose and fructose to facilitate cellulose biosynthesis and that promotion of cellulose biosynthesis suppresses lignin biosynthesis. Additionally, the noticeable increase in the lodging resistance in transgenic tobacco stem suggested that the cell wall characteristics were altered by PsnSuSy2 overexpression. Scanning electron microscopy was performed to study the cell wall morphology of stem, and surprisingly, we found that the secondary cell wall was significantly thicker in transgenic tobacco. However, the thickened secondary cell wall did not negatively affect the height of the plants because the PsnSuSy2- overexpressing lines grew taller than the wildtype plants. This systematic analysis demonstrated that PsnSuSy2 plays an important role in cleaving sucrose coupled with cellulose biosynthesis in wood tissue. 相似文献

The green-fruited Lycopersicon hirsutum Humb. and Bonpl. accumulated sucrose to concentrations of about 118 micromoles per gram fresh weight during the final stages of development. In comparison, Lycopersicon esculentum Mill. cultivars contained less than 15 micromoles per gram fresh weight of sucrose at the ripe stage. Glucose and fructose levels remained relatively constant throughout development in L. hirsutum at 22 to 50 micromoles per gram fresh weight each. Starch content was low even at early stages of development, and declined further with development. Soluble acid invertase (EC 3.2. 1.26) activity declined concomitant with the rise in sucrose content. Acid invertase activity, which was solubilized in 1 molar NaCl (presumably cell-wall bound), remained constant throughout development (about 3 micromoles of reducing sugars (per gram fresh weight) per hour. Sucrose phosphate synthase (EC 2.4.1.14) activity was present at about 5 micromoles of sucrose (per gram fresh weight) per hour even at early stages of development, and increased sharply to about 40 micromoles of sucrose (per gram fresh weight) per hour at the final stages of development studied, parallel to the rise in sucrose content. In comparison, sucrose phosphate synthase activity in L. esculentum remained low throughout development. The possible roles of the sucrose metabolizing enzymes in determining sucrose accumulation are discussed. 相似文献

Leaf area expansion, dry weight, and water relations of Phaseolus vulgaris L. and P. acutifolius Gray were compared during a drying cycle in the greenhouse to understand the characteristics which contribute to the superior drought tolerance of P. acutifolius. Stomates of P. acutifolius closed at a much higher water potential than those of P. vulgaris, delaying dehydration of leaf tissue. P. acutifolius had a more deeply penetrating root system, which also contributes to its drought tolerance. Root-shoot ratios did not differ between the two species either under well watered or water stressed conditions. Leaf osmotic potential was also similar in the two species, with no apparent osmotic adjustment during water stress. These results indicate that P. acutifolius postpones dehydration and suggest that sensitive stomates and a deeply penetrating root system are characteristics which, if incorporated into cultivated beans, might increase their drought tolerance. 相似文献

Regulation of Spinach Leaf Sucrose Phosphate Synthase by Glucose-6-Phosphate, Inorganic Phosphate, and pH 总被引:2,自引:10,他引:2
Sucrose phosphate synthase was partially purified from spinach leaves and the effects and interactions among glucose-6-P, inorganic phosphate (Pi), and pH were investigated. Glucose-6-P activated sucrose phosphate synthase and the concentration required for 50% of maximal activation increased as the concentration of fructose-6-P was decreased. Inorganic phosphate inhibited sucrose phosphate synthase activity and antagonized the activation by glucose-6-P. Inorganic phosphate caused a progressive increase in the concentration of glucose-6-P required for 50% maximal activation from 0.85 mm (minus Pi) to 9.9 mm (20 mm Pi). In the absence of glucose-6-P, Pi caused partial inhibition of sucrose phosphate synthase activity (about 65%). The concentration of Pi required for 50% maximal inhibition decreased with a change in pH from 6.5 to 7.5. When the effect of pH on Pi ionization was taken into account, it was found that per cent inhibition increased hyperbolically with increasing dibasic phosphate concentration independent of the pH. Sucrose phosphate synthase had a relatively broad pH optimum centered at pH 7.5. Inhibition by Pi was absent at pH 5.5, but became more pronounced at alkaline pH, whereas activation by glucose-6-P was observed over the entire pH range tested. The results suggested that glucose-6-P and Pi bind to sites distinct from the catalytic site, e.g. allosteric sites, and that the interactions of these effectors with pH and concentrations of substrate may be involved in the regulation of sucrose synthesis in vivo. 相似文献

Methionine (Met) and threonine (Thr) are members of the aspartate family of amino acids. In plants, their biosynthetic pathways diverge at the level of O-phosphohomo-serine (Ser). The enzymes cystathionine gamma-synthase and Thr synthase (TS) compete for the common substrate O-phosphohomo-Ser with the notable feature that plant TS is activated through S-adenosyl-Met, a metabolite derived from Met. To investigate the regulation of this branch point, we engineered TS antisense potato (Solanum tuberosum cv Désirée) plants using the constitutive cauliflower mosaic virus 35S promoter. In leaf tissues, these transgenics exhibit a reduction of TS activity down to 6% of wild-type levels. Thr levels are reduced to 45% wild-type controls, whereas Met levels increase up to 239-fold depending on the transgenic line and environmental conditions. Increased levels of homo-Ser and homo-cysteine indicate increased carbon allocation into the aspartate pathway. In contrast to findings in Arabidopsis, increased Met content has no detectable effect on mRNA or protein levels or on the enzymatic activity of cystathionine gamma-synthase in potato. Tubers of TS antisense potato plants contain a Met level increased by a factor of 30 and no reduction in Thr. These plants offer a major biotechnological advance toward the development of crop plants with improved nutritional quality. 相似文献
