Etiolated pea (Pisum sativum cv. Midfreezer) seedlings respond to illumination with white light by changes in the activity of phenylpropanoid and flavonoid synthesizing enzymes. Unlike in cell cultures, changes in enzyme activity in pea seedlings are not concerted. Phenylalanine ammonia-lyase (EC 4.3.1.5) activity peaked approximately 18 hours after onset of illumination. The phenylacetate path did not interfere with the measurement of phenylalanine ammonia-lyase activity. Activity of cinnamic acid 4-hydroxylase (EC 1.14.13.11) showed an early peak after 8 hours illumination, declined thereafter sharply, then gradually increased during the remainder of the experiment. Activities of chalcone synthase and UDP glucose:flavonol 3-O-glucosyltransferase (EC 2.4.1.91) increased steadily and reached a plateau after approximately 70 hours illumination time. Activity of 4-hydroxycinnamate:coenzyme A ligase (EC 6.2.1.12) remained relatively unchanged, whereas that of chalcone isomerase (EC 5.5.1.6) declined steadily during the course of the experiment. The relative in vitro enzyme activities suggest that the rate-limiting step for the phenylpropanoid path is the cinnamic acid 4-hydroxylase, that of the flavonoid pathway is the chalcone synthase. Integration of enzyme activity curves, however, show that only the curve deriving from phenylanine ammonia-lyase activity matches closely the production of the flavonol glycosides. 相似文献

Functionally-intact chloroplasts were obtained from 11-day-old pea (Pisum sativum cv Midfreezer) seedlings. Enzyme-distribution studies with ribulose bisphosphate carboxylase and NADPH-dependent glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase showed that ca 2.1% of the total tissue chloroplasts were present in the chloroplast preparation. The rate of intactness of chloroplast preparations was 34–82%. SAM:caffeic acid methyltransferase, flavanone synthase, UDPG:flavonoid-3-O-glucosyltransferase and SAM:quercetin methyltransferase activities were measured in the homogenate, supernatant and chloroplast lysate fractions. Significant activities of the above four enzymes could only be detected in the homogenate and supernatant fractions. Similar experiments with 11-day-old seedlings of green beans (Phaseolus vulgaris cv Early Gallatin), red cabbage (Brassica oleracea cv Red Danish) and 6-week-old plants of spinach (Spinacia oleracea cv Bloomsdale) showed a similar distribution of the flavonoid synthesizing enzymes. We conclude that under the reported conditions chloroplasts are not involved in flavonoid biosynthesis. 相似文献

Salt-extractable proteins from the cell walls of immature and ripe strawberry ( Fragaria × ananassa Duch. cv. Elsanta) fruit were separated using two-dimensional polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. Seven polypeptides (enzymes) were characterized from their N-terminal sequences: (1) glyceraldhyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase (EC 1.2.1.12); (2) triose phosphate isomerase (TPI; EC 5.3.1.1); (3) mitochondrial malate dehydrogenase (mMDH; EC 1.1.1.37); (4) NADH glutamate dehydrogenase (EC 1.4.1.3); (5) chalcone synthase (ChS; EC 2.3.1.74); (6) mitochondrial citrate synthase (mCS; EC 4.1.3.7); and (7) UDP glucose:flavonoid 3- O -glucosyltransferase (UDPG:FGT; EC 2.4.1.91). The sequenced polypeptides identified only cytosolic proteins, two of which (ChS and UDPG:FGT) had already been identified as being up-regulated in ripening (strawberry) fruit and important contributors to ripe fruit character. Our focus was therefore diverted to the enzymes mMDH and mCS for further molecular characterization as potentially important determinants of fruit flavour via regulation of the sugar : acid balance. Citrate synthase (CS) and malate dehydrogenase (MDH) enzyme activities increased substantially during ripening, as did citrate and malate contents. The increase in CS activity is supported by western blot analysis. One strawberry mCS ( Fa-mCS-I ) and two mMDH ( Fa-mMDH-I and -II ) cDNAs were cloned that were 77, 82 and 53% identical (respectively) to sequences from other plant sources. Northern analysis showed that CS and MDH expression did not correlate with enzyme activities and these findings are discussed. 相似文献

Differential regulation and tissue-specific distribution of enzymes of phenylpropanoid pathways in developing parsley seedlings 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2
Characteristic enzymes of general phenylpropanoid metabolism (phenylalanine ammonialyase) and of the flavonoid-glycoside and furanocoumarin branch pathways (chalcone synthase and S-adenosyl-l-methionine: bergaptol O-methyltransferase, respectively) were localized immuno-histochemically in cross-sections of various aerial parts of parsley (Petroselinum crispum) at different stages of seedling development. Phenylalanine ammonia-lyase occurred predominantly in epidermal and oil-duct epithelial cells, but was also detectable in other tissue parts. The two pathway-specific enzymes were localized in the epidermis (chalcone synthase) and in oil ducts (bergaptol O-methyl-transferase). High chalcone-synthase concentrations occurred very early in leaf development and then declined. High levels of the methyltransferase were present at all times investigated. The temporal and spatial at all times investigated. The temporal and spatial distribution of all three enzymes is in agreement with the time courses and sites of accumulation of the biosynthetic end products.Abbreviations BMT

Similar to many plants, the leaves of Begonia semperflorens accumulate anthocyanins and turn red in autumn. This induction of anthocyanin biosynthesis in autumn has been attributed to low temperature, but the effects of light on this process are still under debate. In the present work, light was found to be necessary for anthocyanin biosynthesis under low temperature. When seedlings were exposed to light and low temperature, both upstream (phenylalanine ammonialyase and chalcone isomerase) and downstream [dihydroflavonol 4-reductase (DFR), flavonoid-3-O-glucosyltransferase (UFGT)] enzymes of the anthocyanin biosynthesis pathway were activated. However, when seedlings were exposed to low temperature in the dark, downstream enzymes (DFR and UFGT) were inhibited. The carbon flux caused by blocked anthocyanin biosynthesis in the dark-exposed plants channeled into flavonoid (for example, flavonol) and phenolic acid, but not lignin, biosynthesis. 相似文献

During cell and tissue differentiation of developing rye (Secale cereale L.) and maize (Zea mays L.) primary leaves, various flavonoids are synthesized and accumulate in both epidermal and mesophyll tissues. In order to prove either the biosynthetic autonomy of each tissue type and- or intercellular transport of flavonoids, the tissue distributions of chalcone synthase (CHS; EC 2.3.1.74), the key enzyme of the pathway, and of flavonoids have been comparatively investigated. Monoclonal antibodies raised against CHS from rye were used to relate enzyme activity in a particular tissue extract to the corresponding amount of CHS protein. A close correlation was found between CHS activities and amounts of CHS protein during leaf development and in the various tissues. The simultaneous occurrence of CHS in both epidermal layers as well as in the mesophyll correlated with the accumulation of flavonoid products in these tissues, indicating tissue autonomy of flavonoid biosynthesis. These data are in contrast to previous reports (Knogge and Weissenböck, 1986, Planta 167, 196–205) on primary leaves of oat (Avena sativa) where CHS and several subsequent enzymes were located mainly in the mesophyll whereas major flavonoid products accumulated predominantly in both epidermal cell layers, indicating that intertissue transport of flavonoids might occur. 相似文献

Organ- and Tissue-specific Biosynthesis of Flavonoids in Seedlings of Oenothera odorata (Onagraceae)
In developing Oenothera odorata seedlings, phytochrome-mediated accumulation of various flavonoids (mainly glycosides of cyanidin and quercetin) is detectable, subsequent to a transient induction of the key enzymes of the general phenylpropanoid metabolism, L-phenylalanine ammonia lyase (PAL) and of flavonoid biosynthesis, chalcone synthase (CHS). Organ- and tissue-specific distribution of these enzymes and of the flavonoid end products was investigated in seedlings, irradiated with continuous far-red light. Anthocyanins and quercetin glycosides are mainly localized in both the upper and lower epidermis of the cotyledons and to a lesser extent also in the epidermal cell layer of the hypocotyl. An obvious organ-specific distribution was observed for the anthocyanins: cyanidin-3,5-O-diglucoside accumulates in the epidermal cells of the cotyledons, whereas cyanidin-3-O-glucoside is restricted to the epidermis of the hypocotyl. By contrast the pattern of quercetin glycosides is the same in the cotyledons and in the hypocotyl. The methylated flavonol aglycone 3-0-methylquercetin was found to be localized in the seed coat. According to this organ- and tissue-specific pattern of flavonoids, immunochemical and immunohistochemical detection of PAL and CHS revealed a predominant localization of theenzymes in the epidermal layers of the cotyledons and the hypocotyl but also in the cells surrounding the vascular bundles. The role of compartmentation in regulation of flavonoid biosynthesis and putative functions of flavonoid compounds are discussed. 相似文献

Pear (Pyrus sp.) is a major fruit crop of temperate regions with increasing extent of cultivation. Pear flavonoids contribute to its fruit
color, pathogen defense, and are health beneficial ingredients of the fruits. Comparative Southern analyses with apple (Malus x domestica) cDNAs showed comparable genomic organization of flavonoid genes of both related genera. A homology-based cloning approach
was used to obtain the cDNAs of most enzymes of the main flavonoid pathway of Pyrus: phenylalanine ammonia lyase, chalcone synthase, chalcone isomerase, flavanone 3β-hydroxylase, flavonol synthase, dihydroflavonol
4-reductase, leucoanthocyanidin reductase 1 and 2, anthocyanidin synthase, anthocyanidin reductase, and UDP-glucose : flavonoid
7-O-glucosyltransferase. The substrate specificities of the recombinant enzymes expressed in yeast were determined for physiological
and non-physiological substrates and found to be in general agreement with the characteristic pear flavonoid metabolite pattern
of mainly B-ring dihydroxylated anthocyanins, flavonols, catechins, and flavanones. Furthermore, significant differences in
substrate specificities and gene copy numbers in comparison to Malus were identified. Cloning of the cDNAs and studying the enzymes of the Pyrus flavonoid pathway is an essential task toward a comprehensive knowledge of Pyrus polyphenol metabolism. It also elucidates evolutionary patterns of flavonoid/polyphenol pathways in the Rosaceae, which allocate
several important crop plants. 相似文献

The seed coats of black soybean (Glycine max (L.) Merr.) accumulate red (cyanidin-), blue (delphinidin-), purple (petunidin-), and orange (pelargonidin-based) anthocyanins almost exclusively as 3-O-glucosides; however, the responsible enzyme has not been identified. In this study, the full-length cDNA which encodes the enzyme that catalyzes the final step in anthocyanin biosynthesis, namely UDP-glucose:flavonoid 3-O-glucosyltransferase (UGT78K1), was isolated from the seed coat tissue of black soybean using rapid amplification of cDNA ends (RACE). Of the 28 flavonoid substrates tested, the purified recombinant protein glucosylated only anthocyanidins and flavonols, and demonstrated strict 3-OH regiospecificity. Galactose could also be transferred with relatively low activity to the 3-position of cyanidin or delphinidin in vitro. These findings are consistent with previous reports of mainly 3-O-glucosylated and minor amounts of 3-O-galactosylated anthocyanins in the seed coat of black soybean. The recombinant enzyme exhibited pronounced substrate inhibition by cyanidin at 100 μM acceptor concentration. Transfer of UGT78K1 into the Arabidopsis T-DNA mutant (ugt78d2) deficient in anthocyanidin and flavonol 3-O-glucosyltransferase activity, restored the accumulation of anthocyanins and flavonols, suggesting the in vivo function of the enzyme as a flavonoid 3-O-glucosyltransferase. Genomic and phylogenetic analyses suggest the existence of three additional soybean sequences with high similarity to UGT78K1. RT-PCR confirmed the co-expression of one of these genes (Glyma08g07130) with UGT78K1 in the seed coat of black soybean, suggesting possible functional redundancies in anthocyanin biosynthesis in this tissue. 相似文献

Primary leaves of oats (Avena sativa L.) have been used to study the integration of secondary phenolic metabolism into organ differentiation and development. In particular, the tissue-specific distribution of products and enzymes involved in their biosynthesis has been investigated. C-Glucosylflavones along with minor amounts of hydroxycinnamic-acid esters constitute the soluble phenolic compounds in these leaves. In addition, considerable amounts of insoluble products such as lignin and wall-bound ferulic-acid esters are formed. The tissue-specific activities of seven enzymes were determined in different stages of leaf growth. The rate-limiting enzyme of flavonoid biosynthesis in this system, chalcone synthase, together with chalcone isomerase (EC 5.5.1.6) and the terminal enzymes of the vitexin and isovitexin branches of the pathway (a flavonoid O-methyltransferase and an isovitexin arabinosyltransferase) are located in the leaf mesophyll. Since the flavonoids accumulate predominantly (up to 70%) in both epidermal layers, an intercellular transport of products is postulated. In contrast to the flavonoid enzymes, L-phenylalanine ammonia-lyase (EC 4.3.1.5), 4-coumarate: CoA ligase (EC 6.2.1.12), and S-adenosyl-L-methionine: caffeate 3-O-methyltransferase (EC 2.1.1.-), all involved in general phenylpropanoid metabolism, showed highest activities in the basal leaf region as well as in the epidermis and the vascular bundles. We suggest that these latter enzymes participate mainly in the biosynthesis of non-flavonoid phenolic products, such as lignin in the xylem tissue and wall-bound hydroxycinnamic acid-esters in epidermal, phloem, and sclerenchyma tissues.Abbreviations CHI

Citrus paradisi 3-O-glucosyltransferase (Cp3GT, Genbank Protein ID: ACS15351) and Citrus sinensis 3-O-glucosyltransferase (Cs3GT, Genbank Protein ID: AAS00612.2) share 95% amino acid sequence identity. Cp3GT was previously established as a flavonol-specific 3-O-glucosyltransferase by direct enzymatic analysis. Cs3GT is annotated as a flavonoid-3-O-glucosyltransferase and predicted to use anthocyanidins as substrates based on gene expression analysis correlated with the accumulation of anthocyanins in C. sinensis cv. Tarocco, a blood orange variety. Mutant enzymes in which amino acids found in Cs3GT were substituted for position equivalent residues in Cp3GT were generated, heterologously expressed in yeast, and characterized for substrate specificity. Structure–function relationships were investigated for wild type and mutant glucosyltransferases by homology modelling using a crystallized Vitis vinifera anthocyanidin/flavonol 3-O-GT (PDB: 2C9Z) as template and subsequent substrate docking. All enzymes showed similar patterns for optimal temperature, pH, and UDP/metal ion inhibition with differences observed in kinetic parameters. Although changes in the activity of the mutant proteins as compared to wild type were observed, cyanidin was never efficiently accepted as a substrate. 相似文献

In order to provide additional information on the coloration of chrysanthemum flowers, the flavonoid composition and the expression
of six structural genes involved in anthocyanin pathway in the ray florets of a pink flowering (cv. H5) and two white flowering
(cvs. Keikai and Jinba) Chrysanthemum grandiflorum cultivars were examined. HPLCDAD/ESI-MSn analysis showed that cyanidin 3-O-(6″-O-malonylglucoside) and cyanidin 3-O-(3″,6″-O-dimalonylglucoside) were the two major flavonoids presented in H5, while white flowering cultivars contained flavones instead
of anthocyanins. Nine flavone derivatives were detected in the three cultivars, the amount of each flavone varied upon cultivars,
and seven of these were identified as luteolin 7-O-arabinosylglucuronide, apigenin 7-O-glucoside, luteolin 7-O-malonylglucoside, apigenin 7-O-malonylglucoside, chrysoeriol 7-O-malonylglucoside, acacetin 7-O-rutinoside and acacetin 7-O-malonylglucoside. The two white flowering cultivars showed similar total flavonoid content, which was about two fold higher
than that in H5. A high expression of the genes encoding dihydroflavonol 4-reductase and 3-O-glucosyltransferase was detected only in H5 but not in Keikai or Jinba. Chalcone synthase, chalcone isomerase, flavanone
3-hydroxylase, and flavonoid 3′-hydroxylase were expressed in all flowers, suggesting that the lack of anthocyanin in white
flowering cultivars cannot be due to any blockage of their expression. 相似文献

Root restriction was applied to ‘Summer black’ grape (Vitis vinifera L. × Vitis labrusca L.) to investigate its effect on anthocyanin biosynthesis in grape berry during development. Anthocyanin composition and expression patterns of 16 genes in anthocyanin pathway were thus analyzed. The results showed that the anthocyanin levels in berry skin were significantly increased and the anthocyanin profile was enriched. Gene expression pattern revealed that the increased anthocyanins coincide with the up-regulated expression of all 16 genes investigated, including phenylalanine ammonia-lyase, 4-coumarate CoA ligase, chalcone synthase 1, chalcone synthase 2, chalcone synthase 3, chalcone isomerase, flavanone 3-hydroxylase 1, flavanone 3-hydroxylase 2, flavonoid 3′-hydroxylase (F3′H), flavonoid 3′,5′-hydroxylase (F3′5′H), di-hydroflavonol 4-reductase, leucoanthocyanidin dioxygenase, O-methyltransferases (OMT), UDP-glucose:flavonoid 3-O-glucosyl-transferase (3GT), UDP-glucose:flavonoid 5-O-glucosyl-transferase (5GT) and glutathione S-transferase (GST). The increased total anthocyanins predominantly resulted from the increase of tri-hydroxylated, methoxylated and mono-glycosylated rather than di-hydroxylated, non-methoxylated, and di-glycosylated forms, which might be due to the differential regulation of F3′5′H/F3′H, OMT and 3GT, respectively. 相似文献

Previous indirect evidence suggested that the biosynthesis of flavonoids in Citrus may not proceed via the usual chalcone synthase reaction and that glycosylation occurs during chalcone formation and not afterward, as has been reported in other species. We detected chalcone-synthase and UDP-glucose:flavanone-7-O-glucosyl-transferase activities in cell-free extracts of Citrus. The glucosylated flavanone was further rhamnosylated when exogenous UDP-glucose and NADPH were added to the extract. Chalcone-synthase activity was detected in cell-free extracts derived from young leaves and fruits. Young fruits (2 millimeter diameter) had the highest chalcone synthase activity. UDP-glucose:flavanone-7-O-glucosyl-transferase activity was measured in cell-free extracts derived from young leaves and fruits of Citrus mitis and Citrus maxima. The highest UDP-glucose:flavanone-7-O-glucosyl-transferase activity was found in young C. maxima leaves. These data indicate that Citrus contains a flavonoid pathway similar to that studied in other species. 相似文献

Alfalfa (Medicago sativa L.) cell suspension cultures accumulated high concentrations of the pterocarpan phytoalexin medicarpin, reaching a maximum within 24 hours after exposure to an elicitor preparation from cell walls of the phytopathogenic fungus Colletotrichum lindemuthianum. This was preceded by increases in the extractable activities of the isoflavonoid biosynthetic enzymes l-phenylalanine ammonia-lyase, cinnamic acid 4-hydroxylase, 4-coumarate coenzyme A-ligase, chalcone synthase, chalcone isomerase, and isoflavone O-methyltransferase. Pectic polysaccharides were weak elicitors of phenylalanine ammonia-lyase activity but did not induce medicarpin accumulation, whereas reduced glutathione was totally inactive as an elicitor in this system. The fungal cell wall extract was a weak elicitor of the lignin biosynthetic enzymes, caffeic acid O-methyltransferase and coniferyl alcohol dehydrogenase, but did not induce appreciable increases in the activities of the hydrolytic enzymes chitinase and 1,3-β-d-glucanase. The results are discussed in relation to the activation of isoflavonoid biosynthesis in other legumes and the development of the alfalfa cell culture system as a model for studying the enzymology and molecular biology of plant defense expression. 相似文献

Cloning and molecular analysis of structural genes involved in flavonoid and stilbene biosynthesis in grape (Vitis vinifera L.) 总被引:23,自引:0,他引:23

Genes involved in flavonoid and stilbene biosynthesis were isolated from grape (Vitis vinifera L.). Clones coding for phenylalanine ammonia-lyase (PAL), chalcone synthase (CHS), chalcone isomerase (CHI), flavanone 3-hydoxylase (F3H), dihydroflavonol 4-reductase (DFR), leucoanthocyanidin dioxygenase (LDOX) and UDP glucose:flavonoid 3-O-glucosyl transferase (UFGT), were isolated by screening a cDNA library, obtained from mRNA from seedlings grown in light for 48 h using snapdragon (Antirrhinum majus) and maize heterologous probes. A cDNA clone coding for stilbene synthase (StSy) was isolated by probing the library with a specific oligonucleotide. These clones were sequenced and when the putative products were compared to the published amino acid sequence for corresponding enzymes, the percentages of similarity ranged from 65% (UFGT) to 90% (CHS and PAL). The analysis of the genomic organization and expression of these genes in response to light shows that PAL and StSy genes belong to large multigene families, while the others are present in one to four copies per haploid genome. The steady-state level of mRNAs encoded by the flavonoid biosynthetic genes as determined in young seedlings is coordinately induced by light, except for PAL and StSy, which appear to be constitutively expressed. 相似文献
