Acetohydroxyacid synthase (AHAS), the first enzyme unique to the biosynthesis of isoleucine, leucine, and valine, is the target enzyme for several classes of herbicides. The AHAS gene from Arabidopsis thaliana, including the chloroplast transit peptide, was cloned into the bacterial expression plasmid pKK233-2. The resulting plasmid was used to transform an AHAS-deficient Escherichia coli strain MF2000. The growth of the MF2000 strain of E. coli was complemented by the functional expression of the Arabidopsis AHAS. The AHAS protein was processed to a molecular mass of 65 kilodaltons that was similar to the mature protein isolated from Arabidopsis seedlings. The AHAS activity extracted from the transformed E. coli cells was inhibited by imidazolinone and sulfonylurea herbicides. AHAS activity extracted from Arabidopsis is inhibited by valine and leucine; however, this activity was insensitive to these feedback inhibitors when extracted from the transformed E. coli. 相似文献

Specific rabbit antisera against purified Hordeum vulgare seedling RNase I from two winter barley cultivars each formed a single precipitin band when reacted with the homologous crude tissue extract. RNase antigen from either cultivar was equally reactive with both antisera when evaluated by immunodiffusion and immunoelectrophoresis. A small but consistent difference in anti-RNase specificity between cultivars was shown by passive hemagglutination inhibition, suggesting that molecular differences may exist between the two RNase antigens. Immunodiffusion and rocket immunoelectrophoresis were used to qualitatively test the cross-reactivity of protein preparations from various members of the genus Hordeum and species from other related grass genera. Neither antiserum showed cross-reactivity with soluble protein preparation from species outside the genus Hordeum. A few species within the genus Hordeum were cross-reactive. A modification of rocket immunoelectrophoresis was developed to determine the amount of RNase in unpurified tissue extracts. The technique involved a template-reservoir which allowed detection of 250 ng RNase in tissue extract volumes of 50 μl. The amount of RNase in unpurified protein extracts from the two cultivars of barley was similar. 相似文献

Ribulose-1,5-bisphosphate carboxylase/oxygenase (rubisco) activase, a soluble chloroplast protein which promotes light-dependent rubisco activation, was partially purified from spinach chloroplasts by ion-exchange and gel-filtration fast protein liquid chromatography. The protein could also be isolated using rate zonal centrifugation in sucrose gradients followed by conventional ion-exchange on DEAE-cellulose. The active enzyme was composed of 44 and 41 kilodalton subunits. Antibodies to the activase polypeptides were produced in tumor-induced mouse ascites fluid and used as probes for activase on immunoblots of soluble proteins from a number of species. One or both of the activase polypeptides were recognized in all higher plant species examined including Arabidopsis thaliana, soybean, kidney bean, pea, tobacco, maize, oat, barley, celery, tomato, pigweed, purslane, dandelion, sorghum, and crabgrass. The polypeptides were not present in a mutant of Arabidopsis which is incapable of activating rubisco in vivo. The activase polypeptides were also detected in cell extracts of the green alga Chlamydomonas reinhardii. Activase activity, which had been demonstrated previously in wild-type Arabidopsis and in spinach, was measured in protoplast extracts of Nicotiana rustica. The results suggest that control of rubisco by activase may be an ubiquitous form of regulation in eucaryotic photosynthetic organisms. 相似文献

Immunological comparisons of higher plant plastocyanins 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
Antisera were prepared in rabbits to purified plastocyanins of Spinacia oleracea and Urtica dioica. Using the method of micro-complement fixation, the immunological cross-reactivity of these antisera with plastocyanins from 37 species of plants was determined. Cross-reactivity between antisera to spinach plastocyanin and 11 plastocyanins from other plant species showed a positive correlation with distance on an ancestral amino acid sequence affinity tree constructed by the method of Dayhoff and Eck [1]. The importance of serological data as a supplement to amino acid sequence data in evolutionary studies is discussed. 相似文献

The first step in branched-chain amino acid biosynthesis is catalyzed by acetohydroxyacid synthase (EC 2.2.1.6). This reaction involves decarboxylation of pyruvate followed by condensation with either an additional pyruvate molecule or with 2-oxobutyrate. The enzyme requires three cofactors, thiamine diphosphate (ThDP), a divalent ion, and flavin adenine dinucleotide (FAD). Escherichia coli contains three active isoenzymes, and acetohydroxyacid synthase I (AHAS I) large subunit is encoded by the ilvB gene. In this study, the ilvB gene from E. coli K-12 was cloned into expression vector pETDuet-1, and was expressed in E. coli BL21 (DH3). The purified protein was identified on a 12% SDS–PAGE gel as a single band with a mass of 65 kDa. The optimum temperature, buffer, and pH for E. coli K-12 AHAS I were 37 °C, potassium phosphate buffer, and 7.5. Km values for E. coli K-12 AHAS I binding to pyruvate, Mg+2, ThDP, and FAD were 4.15, 1.26, 0.2 mM, and 0.61 μM respectively. Inhibition of purified AHAS I protein was determined with herbicides and new compounds. 相似文献

The gene for acetohydroxyacid synthase (AHAS) was cloned from the archaeon Methanococcus aeolicus. Contrary to biochemical studies [Xing, R. and Whitman, W.B. (1994) J. Bacteriol. 176, 1207–1213] the enzyme was encoded by two open reading frames (ORFs). Based on sequence homology, these ORFs were designated ilvB and ilvN for the large and small subunits of AHAS, respectively. A putative methanogen promoter preceded ilvB-ilvN, and a potential internal promoter was found upstream of ilvN. ilvB encoded a 65-kDa protein, which agreed well with the measured value for the purified enzyme. ilvN encoded a 19-kDa protein, which fell within the range of Mr of small subunits from other sources. Phylogenetic analysis of the deduced amino acid sequence of ilvB showed a close relationship between the AHAS of Bacteria and Archaea, to the exclusion of other enzymes in this family, including pyruvate oxidase, glyoxylate carboligase, pyruvate decarboxylase, and the acetolactate synthase found in fermentative Bacteria. Thus, this family of enzymes probably arose prior to the divergence of the Bacteria and Archaea. Moreover, the higher plant AHAS and the red algal AHAS were related to the AHAS II of Escherichia coli and the cyanobacterial AHAS, respectively. For this reason, these genes appear to have been acquired by the Eucarya during the endosymbiosis that gave rise to the mitochondrion and chloroplast, respectively. One of the ORFs in the Methanococcus jannaschii genome possesses high similarity to the M. aeolicus ilvB, indicating that it is an authentic AHAS. 相似文献

The predicted mature portion of a putative 3-hydroxyacyl-ACP dehydratase (DH) from Arabidopsis was linked to an N-terminal poly-histidine-tag and the fusion protein expressed in Escherichia coli. Soluble dehydratase was present on induction at 25 °C and pure dehydratase eluted from a nickel-affinity column in 0.2-0.5 M imidazole. High concentrations of imidazole were necessary to retain enzyme solubility. The dehydratase reaction is reversible and 3-hydroxybutyryl- and 2-butenoyl-ACP substrates were prepared from E. coli apo-ACP. Analysis of these suggested contamination of apo-ACP with dehydratase and an additional reverse-phase chromatographic step was required during acyl carrier protein (ACP) preparation. Activity of purified dehydratase was demonstrated by mass spectrometry using 2-butenoyl-ACP, providing the first functional experimental evidence for plant DH gene sequences. 相似文献

Pea (Pisum sativum L.) ornithine transcarbamylase (OTC) antisera were used to investigate the immunological relatedness of several plant and animal OTC enzymes. The antisera immunoprecipitated OTC activity in all monocot and dicot species tested, and sodium dodecyl sulfate polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis analysis of immunoprecipitated protein revealed monomeric proteins ranging from 35,200 to 36,800 daltons in size. Pea OTC antisera did not recognize mammalian OTC protein. OTC activity and protein levels detected on sodium dodecyl sulfate polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis immunoblots from homogenates of green leaf, etiolated epicotyl and cotyledon, and root tissues of pea were poorly correlated. This might result from differences in amounts of enzymatically active OTC protein in the homogenates. Alternatively, the antisera may fail to recognize different isozyme forms of OTC, which have been reported for some plant species. A putative cytosolic precursor OTC (pOTC) polypeptide exhibiting and Mr = 39,500 to 40,000 daltons was immunoprecipitated from in vitro translation mixtures of total pea leaf poly(A)+ RNA. The size of the pOTC polypeptide, as compared with mature OTC monomer (36,000 daltons), suggests that a 4 kilodalton N-terminal leader sequence, like that responsible for mitochondrial targeting of the mammalian enzyme, may be involved in organellar import of the plant enzyme. 相似文献

We report that the purified Escherichia coli OxyR protein can bind specifically upstream of the gene encoding NADH peroxidase (npr) from Enterococcus faecalis 10C1, to a site located some 144 bp from the promoter. A 34 kDa protein has been identified in crude extracts of E. faecalis that cross-reacts with polyclonal antisera to purified OxyR from E. coli and a protein(s) present in these extracts retards npr DNA fragments in gel shift assays. Taken together with the results of sequence analyses, these observations suggest that enterococcal npr is regulated by OxyR. 相似文献

Acetohydroxyacid synthase (AHAS) is the key enzyme in branched chain amino acid biosynthesis pathway. The enzyme activity and properties of a highly thermostable AHAS from the hyperthermophilic bacterium Thermotoga maritima is being reported. The catalytic and regulatory subunits of AHAS from T. maritima were over-expressed in Escherichia coli. The recombinant subunits were purified using a simplified procedure including a heat-treatment step followed by chromatography. A discontinuous colorimetric assay method was optimized and used to determine the kinetic parameters. AHAS activity was determined to be present in several Thermotogales including T. maritima. The catalytic subunit of T. maritima AHAS was purified approximately 30-fold, with an AHAS activity of approximately 160±27 U/mg and native molecular mass of 156±6 kDa. The regulatory subunit was purified to homogeneity and showed no catalytic activity as expected. The optimum pH and temperature for AHAS activity were 7.0 and 85 °C, respectively. The apparent Km and Vmax for pyruvate were 16.4±2 mM and 246±7 U/mg, respectively. Reconstitution of the catalytic and regulatory subunits led to increased AHAS activity. This is the first report on characterization of an isoleucine, leucine, and valine operon (ilv operon) enzyme from a hyperthermophilic microorganism and may contribute to our understanding of the physiological pathways in Thermotogales. The enzyme represents the most active and thermostable AHAS reported so far. 相似文献

ADPglucose pyrophosphorylase from developing endosperm tissue of starchy maize (Zea mays) was purified 88-fold to a specific activity of 34 micromoles α-glucose-1-P produced per minute per milligram protein. Rabbit antiserum to purified spinach leaf ADPglucose pyrophosphorylase was able to inhibit pyrophosphorolysis activity of the purified enzyme by up to 90%. The final preparation yielded four major protein staining bands following sodium dodecyl sulfate polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. When analyzed by Western blot hybridization only the fastest migrating, 54 kilodaltons, protein staining band cross-reacted with affinity purified rabbit antispinach leaf ADPglucose pyrophosphorylase immunoglobulin. The molecular mass of the native enzyme was estimated to be 230 kilodaltons. Thus, maize endosperm ADPglucose pyrophosphorylase appears to be comprised of four subunits. This is in contrast to the respective subunit and native molecular masses of 96 and 400 kilodaltons reported for a preparation of maize endosperm ADPglucose pyrophosphorylase (Fuchs RL and JO Smith 1979 Biochim Biophys Acta 556: 40-48). Proteolytic degradation of maize endosperm ADPglucose pyrophosphorylase appears to occur during incubation of crude extracts at 30°C or during the partial purification of the enzyme according to a previously reported procedure (DB Dickinson, J Preiss 1969 Arch Biochem Biophys 130: 119-128). The progressive appearance of a 53 kilodalton antigenic peptide suggested the loss of a 1 kilodalton proteolytic fragment from the 54 kilodalton subunit. The complete conservation of the 54 kilodalton subunit structure following extraction of the enzyme in the presence of phenylmethylsulfonyl fluoride and/or chymostain was observed. The allosteric and catalytic properties of the partially purified proteolytic degraded versus nondegraded enzyme were compared. The major effect of proteolysis was to enhance enzyme activity in the absence of added activator while greatly decreasing its sensitivity to the allosteric effectors 3-P-glycerate and inorganic phosphate. 相似文献

Two isoforms of acetohydroxy acid synthase (AHAS), the first enzyme of the branched-chain amino acids biosynthetic pathway, were detected in cell-free extracts of the cyanobacterium Spirulina platensis and separated both by ion-exchange chromatography and by hydrophobic interaction. Several biochemical properties of the two putative isozymes were analysed and it was found that they differ for pH optimum, FAD requirement for both activity and stability, and for heat lability. The results were partially confirmed with the characterization of the enzyme extracted from a recombinant Escherichia coli strain transformed with one subcloned S. platensis coli strain transformed with one subcloned S. platensis AHAS gene. The approximate molecular mass of both AHAS activities, estimated by gel filtration, indicates that they are distinct isozymes and not different oligomeric species or aggregates of identical subunits.Abbreviations AHAS

ADPglucose pyrophosphorylase (EC 2.7.7.27) has been purified from two cyanobacteria: the filamentous, heterocystic, Anabaena PCC 7120 and the unicellular Synechocystis PCC 6803. The purification procedure gave highly purified enzymes from both cynobacteria with specific activities of 134 (Synechocystis) and 111 (Anabaena) units per milligram protein. The purified enzymes migrated as a single protein band in sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis with molecular mass corresponding to 53 (Synechocystis) and 50 (Anabaena) kilodaltons. Tetrameric structures were determined for the native enzymes by analysis of gel filtrations. Kinetic and regulatory properties were characterized for the cyanobacterial ADPglucose pyrophosphorylases. Inorganic phosphate and 3-phosphoglycerate were the most potent inhibitor and activator, respectively. The Synechocystis enzyme was activated 126-fold by 3-phosphoglycerate, with saturation curves exhibiting sigmoidicity (A0.5 = 0.81 millimolar; nH = 2.0). Activation by 3-phosphoglycerate of the enzyme from Anabaena demonstrated hyperbolic kinetics (A0.5 = 0.12 millimolar; nH = 1.0), having a maximal stimulation of 17-fold. I0.5 values of 95 and 44 micromolar were calculated for the inhibition by inorganic phosphate of the Synechocystis and Anabaena enzyme, respectively. Pyridoxal-phosphate behaved as an activator of the cyanobacterial enzyme. It activated the enzyme from Synechocystis nearly 10-fold with high apparent affinity (A0.5 = 10 micromolar; nH = 1.8). Phenylglyoxal modified the cyanobacterial enzyme by inactivating the activity in the presence of 3-phosphoglycerate. Antibody neutralization experiments showed that anti-spinach leaf (but not anti-Escherichia coli) ADPglucose pyrophosphorylase serum inactivated the enzyme from cyanobacteria. When the cyanobacterial enzymes were resolved on sodium dodecyl sulfate- and two-dimensional polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis and probed with Western blots, only one protein band was recognized by the anti-spinach leaf serum. The same polypeptide strongly reacted with antiserum prepared against the smaller spinach leaf 51 kilodalton subunit, whereas the anti-54 kilodalton antibody raised against the spinach subunit reacted weakly to the cyanobacterial subunit. Regulatory and immunological properties of the cyanobacterial enzyme are more related to the higher plant than the bacterial enzyme. Despite this, results suggest that the ADPglucose pyrophosphorylase from cyanobacteria is homotetrameric in structure, in contrast to the reported heterotetrameric structures of the higher plant ADPglucose pyrophosphorylase. 相似文献

A physiologically significant level of intracellular carbonic anhydrase has been identified in Chlamydomonas reinhardtii after lysis of the cell wall-less mutant, cw15, and two intracellular polypeptides have been identified which bind to anti-carbonic anhydrase antisera. The susceptibility of the intracellular activity to sulfonamide carbonic anhydrase inhibitors is more than three orders-of-magnitude less than that of the periplasmic enzyme, indicating that the intracellular activity was distinct from the periplasmic from of the enzyme. When electrophoretically separated cell extracts or chloroplast stromal fractions were probed with either anti-C. reinhardtii periplasmic carbonic anhydrase antiserum or anti-spinach carbonic anhydrase antiserum, immunoreactive polypeptides of 45 kilodaltons and 110 kilodaltons were observed with both antisera. The strongly immunoreactive 37 kilodalton polypeptide due to the periplasmic carbonic anhydrase was also observed in lysed cells, but neither the 37 kilodalton nor the 110 kilodalton polypeptides were present in the chloroplast stromal fraction. These studies have identified intracellular carbonic anhydrase activity, and putative intracellular carbonic anhydrase polypeptides in Chlamydomonas reinhardtii represented by a 45 kilodalton polypeptide in the chloroplast and a 110 kilodalton form probably in the cytoplasm, which may be associated with an intracellular inorganic carbon concentrating system. 相似文献

A family of calcium-responsive protein kinases is abundant in plant cell extracts but has not been identified in animals and fungi. These enzymes have a unique structure consisting of a protein kinase catalytic domain fused to carboxy-terminal autoregulatory and calmodulin-like domains. In this report, we present the amino acid sequences for eight new Arabidopsis cDNA clones encoding isoforms of this enzyme. Three isoforms were expressed as fusion proteins in Escherichia coli and exhibited calcium-stimulated protein kinase activity. We propose CPK as the gene designation for this family of enzymes and describe a phylogenetic analysis for all known isoforms. 相似文献

We have investigated the specificity of a chloroplast soluble processing enzyme that cleaves the precursor of the major light-harvesting chlorophyll a/b binding protein (LHCP). The precursor of LHCP (preLHCP) was synthesized in Escherichia coli and recovered from inclusion-like bodies. It was found to be a substrate for proteolytic cleavage by the soluble enzyme in an organelle-free reaction, yielding a 25 kilodalton peptide. This peptide co-migrated during sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis with the smaller of the forms (25 and 26 kilodalton) produced when either the E. coli-synthesized precursor, or preLHCP made in a reticulocyte lysate, was imported into chloroplasts. N-Terminal sequence analysis of the E. coli-generated precursor showed that it lacked an N-terminal methionine. N-Terminal sequencing of the 25 kilodalton peptide produced in the organelle-free reaction indicated that processing occurred between residues 40 and 41, removing a basic domain (RKTAAK) thought to be at the N-terminus of all LHCP molecules of type I associated with photosystem II. To determine if the soluble enzyme involved also cleaves other precursor polypeptides, or is specific to preLHCP, it was partially purified, and the precursors for Rubisco small subunit, plastocyanin, Rubisco activase, heat shock protein 21, and acyl carrier protein were tested as substrates. All of these precursors were cleaved by the same chromatographic peak of activity that processes preLHCP in the organelle-free reaction. 相似文献

We have developed specific antibodies against fragments of anaplastic lymphoma kinase (ALK) in order to develop tools for characterizing the expression and biological function of this orphan receptor. The first fragment consisted of residues 280 to 480 of the murine extracellular domain, was expressed in Escherichia coli (E. coli), purified in the presence of urea from the pellet of mechanically lysed cells and injected into rabbits as an unfolded protein in urea. The second fragment consisted of residues 1519 to 1619 of the murine sequence, corresponding to the C-terminal side of the kinase domain. It was expressed in E. coli as a soluble glutathione-S-transferase fusion protein, purified from the supernatant of broken cells and injected into rabbits as a folded protein. Both antisera were purified using antigen affinity chromatography, with the polyclonal antibodies eluted stepwise using three different buffers, 0.1 M glycine, pH 2.9, followed by 7 M urea, pH 4, followed by 6 M guanidine–HCl (GdnHCl), pH 4. Antisera prepared against either antigen contained antibodies that eluted in each of the three pools, indicating that solvents more chaotropic than acid were required to elute antibody populations that were tightly bound to the antigen column. All three antibody pools were reactive towards their respective antigens upon Western blot analysis. Purified polyclonal antibodies (pAbs) to both fragments also recognized the full-length protein expressed in Chinese hamster ovary cells. In every case, the pAbs eluting in GdnHCl were the most sensitive for detecting full-length ALK. 相似文献

AHAS I is an isozyme of acetohydroxyacid synthase which is apparently unique to enterobacteria. It has been known for over 20 years that it has many properties which are quite different from those of the other two enterobacterial AHASs isozymes, as well as from those of “typical” AHASs which are single enzymes in a given organism. These include a unique mechanism for regulation of expression and the absence of a preference for forming acetohydroxybutyrate. We have cloned the two subunits, ilvB and ilvN, of this Escherichia coli isoenzyme and examined the enzymatic properties of the purified holoenzyme and the enzyme reconstituted from purified subunits. Unlike other AHASs, AHAS I demonstrates cooperative feedback inhibition by valine, and the kinetics fit closely to an exclusive binding model. The formation of acetolactate by AHAS I is readily reversible and acetolactate can act as substrate for alternative AHAS I-catalyzed reactions. 相似文献

Polyphenoloxidase was purified from chloroplasts of broad bean leaves (Vicia faba L.) to apparent homogeneity. The enzyme was composed of two proteins with an apparent mass of 65 and 68 kilodaltons after sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. The isolated enzyme contained covalently attached carbohydrates and bound concanavalin A, Phaseolus vulgaris erythroagglutinin, and Ricinus communis agglutinin lectins. Under native isoelectric focusing, several charged isoforms were present in the pH range of 4 to 6. Many, if not all, of the isoforms separated by isoelectric focusing were glycosylated and bound concanavalin A. All these isoforms shared a 65 kilodalton protein in common, and some of the isoforms were associated with both a 65 and 68 kilodalton protein. Isoforms separated by isoelectric focusing in the presence of 9 molar urea followed by sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis showed a similar pattern of proteins within a slightly higher pH range from 5 to 6.5. 相似文献

Thirty-nine antiserum preparations from eight rabbits were screened for their ability to precipitate the immunochemically distinct phytochrome that is obtained from green oat (Avena sativa L.) shoots. The antisera were obtained from rabbits immunized with either proteolytically degraded, but still photoreversible, 60-kDa (kilodalton) phytochrome, or approx. 120-kDa phytochrome, both of which were purified from etiolated oat shoots. The ability of these antisera to precipitate phytochrome from green oats was independent of the size of phytochrome used for immunization. While crude antisera immunoprecipitated as much as 80% of the phytochrome isolated from green oat shoots, antibodies immunopurified from these sera with a column of highly purified, approx. 120-kDa phytochrome from etiolated oats precipitated no more than about 5–10%.Abbreviations kDa
