Apple leaf cytosolic phosphoglucose isomerase (PGI, EC 5.3.1.9) was purified to an apparent homogeneity with a specific activity of 2456units/mg protein, and chloroplastic PGI was partially purified to a specific activity of 72units/mg protein to characterize their biochemical properties. These two isoforms showed differential responses to heat treatment; incubation at 50 degrees C for 10min resulted in a complete loss of the chloroplastic PGI activity, whereas the cytosolic PGI only lost 50% of its activity. Apple cytosolic PGI is a dimeric enzyme with a molecular mass of 66kDa for each monomer. The activity of both isoforms was strongly inhibited by erythrose 4-phosphate (E4P) with a K(i) of 1.2 and 3.0muM for the cytosolic PGI and chloroplastic PGI, respectively. Sorbitol 6-phosphate (Sor6P), an intermediate in sorbitol biosynthesis, was found to be a competitive inhibitor for both cytosolic and chloroplastic PGIs with a K(i) of 61 and 40muM, respectively. PGIs from both spinach and tomato leaves were also inhibited by Sor6P in a similar manner. The possible physiological significance of this finding is discussed. 相似文献

Agrobacterium-mediated transformation and plant regeneration from hypocotyl segments of Japanese persimmon (Diospyros kaki Thunb) 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
Hypocotyl segments from the seeds of Japanese persimmon (Diospyros kaki Thunb) were cultured on a modified Murashige and Skoog medium supplemented with N-(2-chloro-4-pyridyl)-N′-phenylurea, zeatin
or 6-benzylaminopurine. The highest frequency of shoot regeneration was observed when the segments were cultured on medium
containing 2 mg/l of zeatin. This culture system was adapted to Agrobacterium-mediated transformation. The hypocotyl segments were inoculated with Agrobacterium tumefaciens strains harboring binary vectors, which contained the neomycin phosphotransferase II gene and the β-glucuronidase gene. Regenerated shoots were selected on a medium containing kanamycin. Histochemical GUS assay showed that
the shoots regenerated from the segments inoculated with EHA101/pSMAK251 expressed the gus gene. The presence and integration of the gus gene was confirmed by polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and Southern blot analysis. The regeneration frequency of transformed
shoot was 11.1%. The transgenic shoots were rooted and developed into whole plants within 4–5 months.

Many efforts have been made to engineer stress tolerance by accumulating polyols. Transformants that accumulate polyols often show growth inhibition, because polyols are synthesized as a dead-end product in plants that do not naturally accumulate polyols. Here, we show a novel strategy in which a sorbitol cycle was engineered by introducing apple cDNA encoding NAD-dependent sorbitol dehydrogenase (SDH) in addition to sorbitol-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (S6PDH). Tobacco plants transformed only with S6PDH showed growth inhibition, and very few transformants were obtained. In contrast, many transgenic plants with both S6PDH and SDH were easily obtained, and their growth was normal despite their accumulation of sorbitol. Interestingly, the engineered sorbitol cycle enhanced the accumulation of sucrose instead of fructose that was expected to be increased. Sucrose, rather than fructose, was also increased in the immature fruit of tomato plants transformed with an antisense fructokinase gene in which the phosphorylation of fructose was inhibited. A common phenomenon was observed in the metabolic engineering of two different pathways, showing the presence of homeostatic regulation of fructose levels. 相似文献

为研究6-磷酸山梨醇脱氢酶(sorbitol-6-phosphate dehydrogenase,S6PDH)基因启动子(S6PDHp)的逆境诱导表达特性,利用Gateway技术构建了S6PDH基因启动子区5'端系列缺失体与GUS基因的融合表达载体,并通过农杆菌介导法转化拟南芥。对转基因拟南芥进行低温和外源ABA处理,通过GUS蛋白活性变化分析S6PDHp的逆境诱导表达特性。研究结果发现,通过Gateway技术构建了4个S6PDHp 5'端系列缺失体与β-葡萄糖苷酸酶(GUS)基因的融合表达载体(pGWB433-S6PDHp1、pGWB433-S6PDHp2、pGWB433-S6PDHp3和p GWB433-S6PDHp4)并获得了相应的转基因拟南芥。对转基因植株进行低温处理后发现,p GWB433-S6PDHp3转基因植株中的GUS活性增幅最大,达到显著水平,而其他转基因植株中的GUS活性基本保持不变。外源ABA处理后发现,除p GWB433-S6PDHp4外,其余启动子缺失体转基因拟南芥中GUS活性显著升高。以上结果表明,低温和外源ABA能够诱导S6PDHp的表达,但不同的缺失体响应程度不同,意味着在S6PDHp序列(-2 396bp至-236bp)中可能存在着响应逆境胁迫的正负调控顺式作用元件。 相似文献

This report describes the first successful genetic engineering of tolerance to salt in an agriculturally important species of woody plants by Agrobacterium-mediated transformation with the codA gene of Arthrobacter globiformis. This gene encodes choline oxidase, which catalyzes the oxidation of choline to glycinebetaine. The binary plasmid vector pGC95.091, containing a kanamycin-resistance gene (nptII), a gene for -glucuronidase (gusA) and the codA gene in its T-DNA region, was used with a disarmed strain of Agrobacterium tumefaciens, EHA101, to transform Japanese persimmon (Diospyros kaki Thunb. `Jiro') by the leaf disk transformation method. The pRS95.101 plasmid that included only nptII and gusA in the T-DNA region was used as a control. We selected eight transgenic lines with one or two copies of the T-DNA after transformation with pGC95.091 (PC lines) and three lines after transformation with pRS95.101 (PR lines). The eight PC lines produced choline oxidase and glycinebetaine whereas neither was found in untransformed `Jiro' and in the control PR lines. Transgenic plants grew normally, resembling wild-type plants both in vitro and ex vitro. The activity of photosystem II in leaves of the transgenic Japanese persimmon plants under NaCl stress was determined in terms of the ratio of the variable (F
v) to the maximum (F
m) fluorescence of chlorophyll (F
v/F
m). The rate of decline in (F
v/F
m under NaCl stress was lower in the PC lines than in the control PR lines. These results demonstrated that genetic engineering of Japanese persimmon, which allowed it to accumulate glycinebetaine, enhanced the tolerance to salt stress of this plant. 相似文献

We have characterized potato (Solanum tuberosum L.) plants expressing a soybean leghemoglobin that is targeted to plastids. Transgenic plants displayed a dwarf phenotype
caused by short internode length, and exhibited increased tuberization in vitro. Under in vivo conditions that do not promote
tuberization, plants showed smaller parenchymal cells than control plants. Analysis of gibberellin (GA) concentrations indicated
that the transgenic plants have a substantial reduction (approximately 10-fold) of bioactive GA1 concentration in shoots. Application of GA3 to the shoot apex of the transformed plants completely restored the wild type phenotype suggesting that GA-biosynthesis rather
than signal transduction was limiting. Since the first stage of the GA-biosynthetic pathway is located in the plastid, these
results suggest that an early step in the pathway may be affected by the presence of the leghemoglobin. 相似文献

The enzyme NAD-dependent sorbitol dehydrogenase (SDH) is well characterized in the Rosaceae family of fruit trees, which synthesizes sorbitol as a translocatable photosynthate. Expressed sequence tags of SDH-like sequences have also been generated from various non-Rosaceae species that do not synthesize sorbitol as a primary photosynthetic product, but the physiological roles of the encoded proteins in non-Rosaceae plants are unknown. Therefore, we isolated an SDH-like cDNA (SDL) from tomato (Lycopersicon esculentum Mill.). Genomic Southern blot analysis suggested that SDL exists in the tomato genome as a single-copy gene. Northern blot analysis showed that SDL is ubiquitously expressed in tomato plants. Recombinant SDL protein was produced and purified for enzymatic characterization. SDL catalyzed the interconversion of sorbitol and fructose with NAD (H). SDL showed highest activity for sorbitol among the several substrates tested. SDL showed no activity with NADP+. Thus, SDL was identified as a SDH, although the Km values and substrate specificity of SDL were significantly different from those of SDH purified from the Japanese pear (Pyrus pyrifolia), a Rosaceae fruit tree. In addition, tomato was transformed with antisense SDL to evaluate the contribution of SDL to SDH activity in tomato. The transformation decreased SDH activity to approximately 50% on average. Taken together, these results provide molecular evidence of SDH in tomato, and SDL was renamed LeSDH. 相似文献

A genetically determined absence of mitochondrial malic enzyme (EC 1.1.1.40) in c3H/c6H mice is accompanied by a four-fold increase in liver glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase and a two-fold increase for 6-phosphogluconate dehydrogenase activity. Smaller increases in the activity of serine dehydratase and glutamic oxaloacetic transaminase are observed while the level of glutamic pyruvate transaminase activity is reduced in the liver of deficient mice. Unexpectedly, the level of activity of total malic enzyme in the livers of mitochondrial malic enzyme-deficient mice is increased approximately 50% compared to littermate controls. No similar increase in soluble malic enzyme activity is observed in heart of kidney tissue of mutant mice and the levels of total malic enzyme in these tissues are in accord with expected levels of activity in mitochondrial malic enzyme-deficient mice. The divergence in levels of enzyme activity between mutant and wild-type mice begins at 19–21 days of age. Immunoinactivation experiments with monospecific antisera to the soluble malic enzyme and glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase demonstrate that the activity increases represent increases in the amount of enzyme protein. The alterations are not consistent with a single hormonal response. 相似文献

Short-chain dehydrogenases/reductases (SDR) constitute one of the largest enzyme superfamilies with over 60,000 non-redundant sequences in the database, many of which need a correct functional assignment. Among them, the gene AAC16202.1 (NCBI) from Rhodobacter capsulatus SB1003 has been assigned in Uniprot both as a sorbitol dehydrogenase (#D5AUY1) and, as an N-acetyl-d-mannosamine dehydrogenase (#O66112), both enzymes being of biotechnological interest. When the gene was overexpressed in Escherichia coli Rosetta (DE3)pLys, the purified enzyme was not active toward N-acetyl-d-mannosamine, whereas it was active toward d-sorbitol and d-fructose. However, the relative activities toward xylitol and l-iditol (0.45 and 6.9%, respectively) were low compared with that toward d-sorbitol. Thus, the enzyme could be considered sorbitol dehydrogenase (SDH) with very low activity toward xylitol, which could increase its biotechnological interest for determining sorbitol without the unspecific cross-determination of added xylitol in food and pharma compositions. The tetrameric enzyme (120 kDa) showed similar catalytic efficiency (2.2 × 103 M−1 s−1) to other sorbitol dehydrogenases for d-sorbitol, with an optimum pH of 9.0 and an optimum temperature of 37 °C. The enzyme was also more thermostable than other reported SDH, ammonium sulfate being the best stabilizer in this respect, increasing the melting temperature (Tm) up to 52.9 °C. The enzyme can also be considered as a new member of the Zn2+ independent SDH family since no effect on activity was detected in the presence of divalent cations or chelating agents. Finally, its in silico analysis enabled the specific conserved sequence blocks that are the fingerprints of bacterial sorbitol dehydrogenases and mainly located at C-terminal of the protein, to be determined for the first time. This knowledge will facilitate future data curation of present databases and a better functional assignment of newly described sequences. 相似文献

Summary Previous studies examining regulation of synthesis of Glucose-6-Phosphate and 6-Phosphogluconate dehydrogenase in rat liver have focussed on the induction of these enzymes by different diets and some hormones. However, the precise mechanism regulating increases in the activities of these enzymes is unknown and the factors involved remain unidentified. Considering that many of these metabolic conditions occur simultaneously with the increase of some NADPH consuming pathway, in particular fatty acid synthesis, we suggest that the activities of Glucose-6-Phosphate and 6-Phosphogluconate dehydrogenase could be regulated through a mechanism involving changes in the NADPH requirement. Here, we have studied the effect of changes in the flux through different NADPH consuming pathways on the NADPH/NADP ratio and on Glucose-6-Phosphate and 6-Phosphogluconate levels. The results show that: i) an increase in consumption of NADPH, caused by activation of fatty acid synthesis or the detoxification system which consumes NADPH, is paralleled by an increase in levels of these enzymes; ii) when increase in consumption of NADPH is prevented, Glucose-6-Phosphate and 6-Phosphogluconate dehydrogenase levels do not change.Abbreviations G6PDH

Abstract The specific activity of glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase and 6-phosphogluconate dehydrogenase changed when Penicillium chrysogenum was grown on different carbon sources. In the presence of 2% lactose, the activities of these enzymes were approximately 25–35% lower than those in media containing 2% glucose or 2% fructose. We assume that an increase in cAMP concentration was responsible for the observed decreases in the enzyme activities, because a higher cAMP concentration could be detected when the mycelium was grown in a medium containing solely lactose as carbon source. The likely role played by cAMP in the regulation was also demonstrated by the addition of either cAMP or caffeine to the medium. 相似文献

Hepatic cholesterol in lead nitrate induced liver hyperplasia 总被引:4,自引:0,他引:4
Wistar rats treated with lead nitrate were used in these experiments to provide evidence of the possible correlation between hyperplasia, induced cholesterol synthesis and the levels of glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G-6-PD) in the liver. Lead treatment increases liver weight, hepatic cholesterol esters and the relative content of free cholesterol. An increase of the incorporation of tritiated water in free and cholesterol esters was also observed. The effect of lead resulted in an increase of hepatic G-6-PD at all times considered. The correlation between these parameters and hyperplasia are discussed. 相似文献

Growth and metabolism in sugarcane are altered by the creation of a new hexose-phosphate sink 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
An efficient in planta sugarcane-based production system may be realized by coupling the synthesis of alternative products to the metabolic intermediates of sucrose metabolism, thus taking advantage of the sucrose-producing capability of the plant. This was evaluated by synthesizing sorbitol in sugarcane (Saccharum hybrids) using the Malus domestica sorbitol-6-phosphate dehydrogenase gene (mds6pdh). Mature transgenic sugarcane plants were compared with untransformed sugarcane variety Q117 by evaluation of the growth, metabolite levels and extractable activity of relevant enzymes. The average amounts of sorbitol detected in the most productive line were 120 mg/g dry weight (equivalent to 61% of the soluble sugars) in the leaf lamina and 10 mg/g dry weight in the stalk pith. The levels of enzymes involved in sucrose synthesis and cleavage were elevated in the leaves of plants accumulating sorbitol, but this did not affect sucrose accumulation in the culm. The activity of oxidative reactions in the pentose phosphate pathway and the non-reversible glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase reaction were elevated to replenish the reducing power consumed by sorbitol synthesis. Sorbitol-producing sugarcane generated 30%-40% less aerial biomass and was 10%-30% shorter than control lines. Leaves developed necrosis in a pattern characteristic of early senescence, and the severity was related to the relative quantity of sorbitol accumulated. When the Zymomonas mobilis glucokinase (zmglk) gene was co-expressed with mds6pdh to increase the production of glucose-6-phosphate, the plants were again smaller, indicating that glucose-6-phosphate deficiency was not responsible for the reduced growth. In summary, sorbitol hyperaccumulation affected sugarcane growth and metabolism, but the outcome was not lethal for the plant. This work also demonstrated that impressive yields of alternative products can be generated from the intermediates of sucrose metabolism in Saccharum spp. 相似文献

Maintenance of luminal NADPH in the endoplasmic reticulum promotes the survival of human neutrophil granulocytes 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1

The present study demonstrates the expression of hexose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase and 11 beta-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase type 1 in human neutrophils, and the presence and activity of these enzymes in the microsomal fraction of the cells. Their concerted action together with the previously described glucose-6-phosphate transporter is responsible for cortisone-cortisol interconversion detected in human neutrophils. Furthermore, the results suggest that luminal NADPH generation by the cortisol dehydrogenase activity of 11 beta-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase type 1 prevents neutrophil apoptosis provoked by the inhibition of the glucose-6-phosphate transporter. In conclusion, the maintenance of the luminal NADPH pool is an important antiapoptotic factor in neutrophil granulocytes. 相似文献

We studied the maternal effect for two enzymes of the pentose cycle, 6-phosphogluconate dehydrogenase (6PGD) and glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PD), using a genetic system based on the interaction of Pgd? and Zw? alleles, which inactivate 6PGD and G6PD, respectively. The presence and formation of the enzymes was investigated in those individuals that had not received the corresponding genes from the mother. We revealed maternal forms of the enzymes, detectable up to the pupal stage. The activities of “maternal” 6PGD and G6PD per individual increased 20-fold to 30-fold from the egg stage to the 3rd larval instar even in the absence of normal Pgd and Zw genes. Immunologic studies have shown that the increase in 6PGD activity is due to an accumulation of the maternal form of the enzyme molecules. We revealed a hybrid isozyme resulting from an aggregation of the subunits of isozymes controlled by the genes of the mother and embryo itself. These results indicate that the maternal effect in the case of 6PGD is due to a long-lived stable mRNA transmitted with the egg cytoplasm and translated during the development of Drosophila melanogaster. 相似文献

In the presence of 1.0 mM ATP and MgCl2, the specific viscosity of suspensions of human erythrocyte ghosts decreases 35% in 20 minutes at 22°C. The changes in viscosity are a sensitive index of Mg-ATP dependent shape changes in these membranes. Low concentrations of Ca2+ (1 to 5 μM) inhibit Mg-ATP dependent viscosity changes. If ghosts were preincubated with 1 mM Mg-ATP and 20 μM A23187 to produce a maximal decrease in viscosity, addition of 10 μM Ca2+ to the preincubated ghosts increased the viscosity to levels observed in ghosts preincubated without ATP. Ca2+ (1 to 5 μM) also inhibited Mg2+ dependent phosphorylation 30% and stimulated dephosphorylation 25% in ghost membranes. These effects of Ca2+ on viscosity and phosphorylation may be due to a membrane bound Ca2+ phosphatase activity which dephosphorylates membranes phosphorylated by a Mg2+ dependent kinase activity. 相似文献

A specific colorimetric assay for the determination of glucose-6-phosphate (G6P) was developed. This assay is based on the oxidation of G6P in the presence of glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PD) and nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate (NADP+); the NADPH thereby generated reduces the tetrazolium salt WST-1 [2-(4-indophenyl)-3-(4-nitrophenyl)-5-(2,4-disulfophenyl)-2H tetrazolium, monosodium salt] to water-soluble yellow-colored formazan with 1-methoxy-5-methylphenazium methylsulfate (1-mPMS) as an electron carrier. The assay is optimized for reaction buffer pH, enzyme/dye concentration, and reaction time course. The limit of detection of the assay is 0.15 μM (15 pmol/well). The usefulness of the assay is demonstrated by the accurate measurement of the G6P concentration in fetal bovine serum (FBS). 相似文献

Activities of alcohol dehydrogenase, hexokinase, glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase, and 6-phosphogluconate dehydrogenase were
significantly inhibited by cadmium in germinating pea (Pisum sativum L. cv. Bonneville) seeds. The effect was concentration
dependent in the range of 0.25 to 1.0 mM CdCl2. The magnitude of detrimental effect on these enzymes was reduced during later stage of germination (9 d) largely because
of fall in the activities of these enzymes in the control seeds germinated in water. In vitro, activities of hexokinase, glucose-6-phosphate
dehydrogenase, and alcohol dehydrogenase were inhibited at 0.5 mM Cd2+ in the reaction mixture by 62, 67, and 36 %, respectively, however, 6-phosphogluconate dehydrogenase was insensitive to Cd2+.
