We report isolation and N-terminal amino acid sequencing of three style glycoproteins, which segregate with three S (self-incompatibility) alleles of Petunia hybrida. The S-glycoproteins were expressed mainly in the upper part of the pistil and showed an increasing concentration during flower development. The glycoproteins were purified by a combination of ConA-Sepharose and cation exchange fast protein liquid chromatography. The amount of S-glycoproteins recovered from style extracts varied from 0.5 to 1.6 g per style, which was 40–60% of the amount recovered by a simplified analytical method. N-terminal amino acid sequences of S1-, S2- and S3-glycoprotein showed homology within the fifteen amino terminal residues. These amino acid sequences were compared with the previously published sequences of S-glycoproteins from Nicotiana alata and Lycopersicon peruvianum. 相似文献

A defective S-allele, S
0, and a functional S-allele, S
x, have previously been found to be retained in an F1 hybrid of a self-compatible commercial cultivar of Petunia hybrida. Pistil proteins associated with these two alleles have also been identified. Their amino-terminal sequences have been found to share a high degree of similarity with those of S-proteins characterized from self-incompatible solanaceous species. Here we report the isolation and sequencing of cDNAs encoding S
0- and S
x-proteins. Their deduced amino acid sequences contain all the consensus primary structural features of S-proteins from self-incompatible solanaceous species. Both proteins also have ribonuclease activity. The implications of these findings are discussed in relation to the presumed function of the S-protein in the self-incompatibility interaction. 相似文献

Tobacco (N. tabacum cv. Xanthi) cell lines contained two forms of anthranilate synthase (AS; EC 4.1.3.27) which could be partially separated by gel-filtration chromatography. One form was resistant to feedback inihibition by 10 M tryptophan (trp) while the other form was almost completely inhibited by trp at the same concentration. Cell lines selected as resistant to 5-methyltryptophan (5MT) had more of the trp-resistant AS form. Only the trp-sensitive form was detected in plants regenerated from both normal and 5MT-resistant cell lines. Overexpression of the trp-resistant form in 5MT-resistant tobacco cells disappeared during plant regeneration but reappeared when callus was initiated from the leaves of these plants. The trp-sensitive form was localized in the particulate fraction and the trp-resistant form in the cytosol of tobacco cultured cell protoplasts. The trp-resistant form of AS from tobacco had an estimated MW of 200 000, determined by Sephacryl S-200 chromatography, compared to an estimated MW of 150 000 for the trp-sensitive form. The estimated molecular weights of AS from carrot and corn were 160 000 and 150 000, respectively. Analysis of AS activity from the diploid Nicotiana species Nicotiana otophora (chromosome number 2n=24) by high-performance liquid chromatography showed two activity peaks identical in elution time and trp inhibition characteristics to the activity from N. tabacum (chromosome No. 48). Thus the two enzyme forms found in tobacco did not appear to have originated individually from the progenitor species genomes which combined to make up the tobacco genome.Abbreviations AS

Ten new proteins from rice (Oryza saliva L. cv. Bahia) including four protein-synthesis inhibitors and two immunoglobulin E (IgE)-binding proteins have been isolated and characterized. These proteins as well as one previously known component, -globulin, were purified from a 0.5 M NaCl extract of rice endosperm by a new, apparently non-denaturing, isolation procedure developed for rice proteins. The method is based on extractions of this complex protein mixture with a diluted volatile salt solution and an aqueous solution of ethanol. This preliminary step results in an improvement in the separation of these proteins, thus facilitating their subsequent purification by reversed-phased high-performance liquid chromatography. These new proteins have similar relative molecular masses (Mrs) from 11000 to 17000. The purity of the proteins was analyzed by micro two-dimensional gel electrophoresis. Four of these components were found to be in-vitro protein-synthesis inhibitors in a cell-free system from rat brain. The NH2-terminal amino-acid sequences of these four inhibitors were determined from 12 to 26 cycles after direct blotting of the separated proteins from electrophoresis gels. Three of these proteins with Mrs between 16000 and 17000 showed a high degree of homology ranging from 57% to 75% but seem to be unrelated to the fourth inhibitor. In addition, the -globulin and one of the new low-molecular-weight proteins of Mr 12500 seemed to show allergenic properties since they bound IgE antibodies from the sera of hypersensitive patients. Boths proteins have blocked NH2-terminal amino acids.Abbreviations HMW

A plant lipid was isolated from zucchini (Cucurbita pepo L.) membranes and from soybean (Glycine max [L.] Merr) phospholipids by thinlayer chromatography and further purified by high-performance liquid chromatography. This plant lipid was chromatographically very similar to the platelet-activating factor, an ether phospho-lipid with hormone-like properties found in mammals. Both the plant lipid and the platelet-activating factor stimulated ATP-dependent H+ transport in isolated membrane vesicles from zucchini hypocotyls.Abbreviations HPLC

Genomic clones encoding the S
2- and S
6-RNases of Nicotiana alata Link and Otto, which are the allelic stylar products of the self-incompatibility (S) locus, were isolated and sequenced. Analysis of genomic DNA by pulsed-field gel electrophoresis and Southern blotting indicates the presence of only a single S-RNase gene in the N. alata genome. The sequences of the open-reading frames in the genomic and corresponding cDNA clones were identical. The organization of the genes was similar to that of other S-RNase genes from solanaceous plants. No sequence similarity was found between the DNA flanking the S
2- and S
6-RNase genes, despite extensive similarities between the coding regions. The DNA flanking the S
6-RNase gene contained sequences that were moderately abundant in the genome. These repeat sequences are also present in other members of the Nicotianae. 相似文献

Summary In order to study the extent and nature of differences among various S-allele-associated proteins in N. alata, we carried out comparative studies of seven such proteins. We first isolated and sequenced cDNA clones for the Sz-, SF11-, S1-, and Sa-alleles, and then we compared the deduced amino acid sequences both of these four S-proteins and of three previously published S2-, S3-, and S6-proteins. This comparison revealed (1) an average homology of 53.8% among the seven proteins and (2) two homology classes, with Sz and SF11 in one class and S1, S2, S3, and S6 in the other class. There are 60 conserved residues, including 9 cysteines. Of the 144 variable residues, 50 were identified as hypervariable based on a calculation of their Similarity Indices. Although conserved, variable, and hypervariable residues are dispersed throughout the protein, some are clustered to form five conserved, five hypervariable, and a number of variable regions. Those variable sites which contain residues conserved within one class of S-proteins but different between classes might provide a clue to the evolutionary relationship of these two classes of S-proteins. The hypervariable residues, which account for sequence variability, may contribute to allelic specificity. 相似文献

The two chalcone-synthase forms from leaves ofSpinacia oleracea L. were purified to apparent homogeneity. Antibodies were raised against both proteins in rabbits. The specificity of the antibodies was tested using immunotitration, immunoblotting, and immunoelectrophoresis techniques. The antibodies exhibited exclusive specificity for chalcone synthase and did not discriminate between the two antigens. The homodimeric chalcone synthases had the same subunit molecular weight but differed in their apparent native molecular weights. The peptide maps indicated extensive homology between the proteins. Chalcone-synthase activity was not detected in isolated spinach chloroplasts. Both enzyme forms were present in spinach cell-suspension cultures in which they were induced by light.Abbreviations DEAE

Production of gibberellins and indole-3-acetic acid by Rhizobium phaseoli in relation to nodulation of Phaseolus vulgaris roots 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2
Similar ranges of gibberellins (GAs) were detected by high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC)-immunoassay procedures in ten cultures of wild-type and mutant strains of Rhizobium phaseoli. The major GAs excreted into the culture medium were GA1 and GA4. These identifications were confirmed by combined gas chromatographymass spectrometry. The HPLC-immunoassays also detected smaller amounts of GA9- as well as GA20-like compounds, the latter being present in some but not all cultures. In addition to GAs, all strains excreted indole-3-acetic acid (IAA) but there was no obvious relationship between the amounts of GA and IAA that accumulated. The Rhizobium strains studied included nod
– and fix
– mutants, making it unlikely that the IAA- and GA-biosynthesis genes are closely linked to the genes for nodulation and nitrogen fixation.The HPLC-immunoassay analyses showed also that nodules and non-nodulated roots of Phaseolus vulgaris L. contained similar spectra of GAs to R. phaseoli culture media. The GA pools in roots and nodules were of similar size, indicating that Rhizobium does not make a major contribution to the GA content of the infected tissue.Abbreviations EIA

Phenotypic diversity of self-incompatibility (S) alleles within nine natural populations ofLycopersicon peruvianum was investigated. Only 7 incompatible responses were observed of a total of 276 unique combinations tested, on the basis
of controlled pollinations, indicating the large number of alleles that exist within these populations. Molecular weight polymorphism
for specific major stylar proteins observed on SDS-PAGE was also evident in two of the populations examined. Five proteins
were shown to map to theS locus and to be associated with differentS alleles through controlled pollinations and segregation of the proteins. Two of theseS related proteins had been described previously in terms of spatial and temporal expression consistent with their involvement
in self-incompatibility (Mauet al., Planta
169, 184–191, 1986). A mapping population derived from a fully compatible cross was used to establish linkage of theS locus to two DNA markers,CD15 andTG184, that lie on chromosome 1. The order of the markers and estimates of map distances are given. 相似文献

We have identified several interspecific pairs of S haplotypes having highly similar SRK and SP11/SCR sequences between Brassica oleracea and Brassica rapa. The recognition specificities of S haplotypes in these pairs were examined with three different methods. Stigmas of interspecific hybrids between an S-32 homozygote in B. oleracea and an S-60 homozygote in B. rapa, which were produced to avoid the interspecific incompatibility between the two species, showed incompatibility to the pollen of an S-8 homozygote in B. rapa and to the pollen of an S-15 homozygote in B. oleracea, while it showed compatibility to the pollen of other S haplotypes, suggesting B. oleracea S-32 and B. rapa S-60 have the same recognition specificity as B. rapa S-8 and B. oleracea S-15. Pollen grains of transgenic S-60 homozygous plants in B. rapa carrying a transgene of SP11-24 from B. oleracea were incompatible to B. rapa S-36 stigma, indicating that B. oleracea
S-24 and B. rapa S-36 have the same recognition specificity. Application of the SP11 protein of B. rapa S-41 and S-47 onto the surface of B. oleracea S-64 stigmas and S-12 stigmas, respectively, resulted in the incompatibility reaction to pollen grains of another S haplotype, but application onto the stigmas of other S haplotypes did not, suggesting that B. oleracea S-64 stigmas and S-12 stigmas recognized the B. rapa SP11-41 and SP11-47 proteins as self SP11 proteins, respectively. Besides having evolutionary implications, finding of many interspecific pairs of S haplotypes can provide insight into the molecular mechanism of self-recognition. Comparing deduced amino-acid sequences of SP11 proteins and SRK proteins in the pairs, regions of SP11 and SRK important for self-recognition are discussed. 相似文献

From isolated nuclei of suspension cultured cells of Nicotiana tabacum. DNA-dependent RNA polymerase II (E.C. 2.7.76) has been purified to homogeneity as evidenced by polyacrylamidegel electrophoresis under non-denaturing conditions. The purified enzyme had a specific activity of more than 15 nmol min-1·mg-1 with denatured calf thymus DNA as template. Sodium-dodecyl-sulfate gel electrophoresis and protein highperformance liquid chromatography revealed a subunit composition of four proteins with molecular weights of 165 000, 135 000, 35 000 and 25 000 and with a stoichiometry of 1:1:2:2. The RNA polymerase did not exhibit any detectable proteinkinase activity. The 25 000 subunit binds ADP in a molar ratio of 1:1; it could not be decided whether this subunit has an ATPase activity or is merely an acceptor of ADP.Abbreviations HPLC

A high-performance liquid chromatography method for the quantitation of ABT-089 [2-methyl-3-(2-(S)-pyrrolidinylmethoxy)pyridine] (I), a new structural type of cholinergic channel modulators (ChCM), is described in this paper using 7-fluoro-4-nitrobenzo-2-oxa-1,3-diazole (NBD-F) as a fluorescent-labeling reagent. The method combined an optimized liquid–liquid extraction from plasma followed by pre-column derivatization to yield a fluorescence product. The selectivity, sensitivity, and reproducibility of this method were found to be excellent. This method was applied to the determination of ng/ml plasma and tissue levels of ABT-089 and similar compounds in biological samples. 相似文献

Sporopollenin obtained from wings of Pinus mugo (Turra) pollen was analysed by pyrolysis mass spectrometry. In the spectrum, mass peaks which are characteristic for p-coumaric acid were dominant. p-Coumaric acid was the main degradation compound when the wing material was treated by a gentle method using AII3, and also when the remaining residue of the treated sporopollenin material was saponified. It is therefore assumed that p-coumaric acid is a genuine structural unit in the sporopollenin skeleton. In addition, the effects of AII3 treatment indicate that the p-coumaric acid might be bound by ether linkages.Abbreviations HPLC

In tobacco callus, the induction of nicotine synthesis, which stimulates enzyme activities of the ornithine-methylpyrroline route (see the preceding paper), also leads to marked changes in the enzyme activities of the pyridine-nucleotide cycle. This cycle provides the metabolite (probably nicotinic acid) for condensation with methylpyrroline to produce nicotine. The activities of eight enzymes of the pyridine-nucleotide cycle and of quinolinic-acid phosphoribosyltransferase, the anaplerotic enzyme, were determined by high-performance liquid chromatography assays. The distinct changes of their activities upon induction of nicotine synthesis lead to the following conclusions: i) nicotinic acid is the relevant metabolite which is provided by the pyridine-nucleotide cycle and consumed for nicotine synthesis. ii) The enhancement of the nicotinic-acid pool arises in two ways, by synthesis of NAD and degradation via nicotinamide mononucleotide and by a direct route from nicotinic-acid mononucleotide (NaMN) which is degraded by a glycohydrolase with a rather high K
m value. Such a K
m value prevents the complete depletion of the NaMN pool.Abbreviations HPLC

In contrast to other plants the plastid genome of Acetabularia is larger in size and shows a high degree of variability. This study on the chloroplast-encoded large subunit of ribulose-1,5-bisphosphate carboxylase/oxygenase demonstrates that strongly conserved areas also exist in the plastid genome of the Dasycladaceae. Searching for differences in the amino acid sequence of the large subunit from Acetabularia mediterranea and Acicularia schenckii, proteolytic peptides which differ in their elution behaviour in reverse-phase high-performance liquid chromatography were sequenced. Only six amino acids were found to be exchanged in the large subunit from these two species. Since these two species diverged approx. 150 million years ago, these results imply that 0.84 amino-acid exchanges per 100 amino acids have occurred in 108 years, underlining the strong conservatism of the large subunit.Abbreviations A

Reverse-phase high-performance liquid chromatography was used to analyse 14C-labelled metabolites of indole-3-acetic acid (IAA) formed in the cortical and stelar tissues of Zea mays roots. After a 2-h incubation in [14C]IAA, stelar segments had metabolised between 1–6% of the methanol-extractable radioactivity compared with 91–92% by the cortical segments. The pattern of metabolites produced by cortical segments was similar to that produced by intact segments bathed in aqueous solutions of [14C]IAA. In contrast, when IAA was supplied in agar blocks to stelar tissue protruding from the basal ends of segments, negligible metabolism was evident. On the basis of its retention characteristics both before and after methylation, the major metabolite of [14C]IAA in Zea mays root segments was tentatively identified by high-performance liquid chromatography as oxindole-3-acetic acid.Abbreviations HPLC

Cloning and sequencing of cDNAs encoding two self-incompatibility associated proteins in Solanum chacoense 总被引:6,自引:0,他引:6

Summary We have isolated and sequenced cDNAs for S2- and S3-alleles of the self-incompatibility locus (S-locus) in Solanum chacoense Bitt., a wild potato species displaying gametophytic self-incompatibility. The S2-and S3-alleles encode pistil-specific proteins of 30 kDa and 31 kDa, respectively, which were previously identified based on cosegregation with their respective alleles in genetic crosses. The amino acid sequence homology between the S2- and S3-proteins is 41.5%. This high degree of sequence variability between alleles is a distinctive feature of the S-gene system. Of the 31 amino acid residues which were previously found to be conserved among three Nicotiana alata S-proteins (S2, S3, and S6) and two fungal ribonucleases (R Nase T2 and R Nase Rh), 27 are also conserved in the S2- and S3-proteins of S. chacoense. These residues include two histidines implicated in the active site of the R Nase T2, six cysteines, four of which form disulfide bonds in R Nase T2, and hydrophobic residues which might form the core structure of the protein. The finding that these residues are conserved among S-proteins with very divergent sequences suggests a functional role for the ribonuclease activity of the S-protein in gametophytic self-incompatibility. 相似文献

A cell-free system capable of converting [14C]geranylgeranyl diphosphate to ent-[14C]kaurene and to an unidentified acid-hydrolysable compound was obtained from the basal portions of 5-d-old shoots of wheat seedlings (Triticum aestivum L.). By means of marker enzyme activities, the synthesis of ent-kaurene and the unknown compound could be quantitatively assigned to a plastid fraction obtained by Percoll-gradient centrifugation of the homogenate. The enzyme activities were located within the plastids, probably in the stroma, because they withstood trypsin treatment of the intact plastids, and the plastids had to be broken to release the activity, which was then obtained in soluble form. Plastid membranes had no activity. Plastid stroma preparations obtained from pea (Pisum sativum L.) shoot tips and pumpkin (Cucurbita maxima L.) endosperm also yielded ent-kaurene synthetase activity, but did not form the unknown compound. The exact nature of the active plastids was not ascertained, but the use of methods for proplastid isolation was essential for full activity, and the active tissues are all known to contain high proportions of proplastids, developing chloroplasts or leucoplasts. We therefore believe that ent-kaurene synthesis may be limited to these categories. Mature chloroplasts from the wheat leaves did not contain ent-kaurene synthetase activity and did not yield the unknown component. Incorporation of [14C]geranylgeranyl diphosphate into ent-[14C]kaurene and the unknown component was assayed by high-performance liquid chromatography with on-line radiocounting. ent-[14C]Kaurene was identified by Kovats retention index and full mass spectra obtained by combined gas chromatography-mass spectrometry. The unknown component was first believed to be copalyl diphosphate, because it yielded a compound on acid hydrolysis, which migrated like copalol on high-performance liquid chromatography and gave a mass spectrum very similar to that of authentic copalol. However, differences in the mass spectrum and in retention time on capillary gas chromatography excluded identity with copalol. Furthermore, the unhydrolysed compound was not converted to ent-kaurene by a cell-free system from C. maxima endosperm as copalyl diphosphate would have been.Abbreviations ADH

Self-incompatibility has been studied extensively at the molecular level in Solanaceae, Rosaceae and Scrophulariaceae, all
of which exhibit gametophytic self-incompatibility controlled by a single polymorphic locus containing at least two linked
genes, i.e., the S-RNase gene and the pollen-expressed SFB/SLF (S-haplotype-specific F-box/S-locus F-box) gene. However, the SFB gene in Japanese plum (Prunus salicina Lindl.) has not yet been identified. We determined eight novel sequences homologous to the SFB genes of other Prunus species and named these sequences PsSFB. The gene structure of the SFB genes and the characteristic domains in deduced amino acid sequences were conserved. Three sequences from 410 to 2,800 bp
of the intergenic region between the PsSFB sequences and the S-RNase alleles were obtained. The eight identified PsSFB sequences showed S-haplotype-specific polymorphism, with 74–83% amino acid identity. These alleles were exclusively expressed in the pollen.
These results suggest that the PsSFB alleles are the pollen S-determinants of GSI in Japanese plum.
