Chalcone synthase and its functions in plant resistance 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2
Chalcone synthase (CHS, EC 2.3.1.74) is a key enzyme of the flavonoid/isoflavonoid biosynthesis pathway. Besides being part
of the plant developmental program the CHS gene expression is induced in plants under stress conditions such as UV light, bacterial or fungal infection. CHS expression
causes accumulation of flavonoid and isoflavonoid phytoalexins and is involved in the salicylic acid defense pathway. This
review will discuss CHS and its function in plant resistance. 相似文献

Flavonoid metabolons (weakly‐bound multi‐enzyme complexes of flavonoid enzymes) are believed to occur in diverse plant species. However, how flavonoid enzymes are organized to form a metabolon is unknown for most plant species. We analyzed the physical interaction partnerships of the flavonoid enzymes from two lamiales plants (snapdragon and torenia) that produce flavones and anthocyanins. In snapdragon, protein–protein interaction assays using yeast and plant systems revealed the following binary interactions: flavone synthase II (FNSII)/chalcone synthase (CHS); FNSII/chalcone isomerase (CHI); FNSII/dihydroflavonol 4‐reductase (DFR); CHS/CHI; CHI/DFR; and flavonoid 3′‐hydroxylase/CHI. These results along with the subcellular localizations and membrane associations of snapdragon flavonoid enzymes suggested that FNSII serves as a component of the flavonoid metabolon tethered to the endoplasmic reticulum (ER). The observed interaction partnerships and temporal gene expression patterns of flavonoid enzymes in red snapdragon petal cells suggested the flower stage‐dependent formation of the flavonoid metabolon, which accounted for the sequential flavone and anthocyanin accumulation patterns therein. We also identified interactions between FNSII and other flavonoid enzymes in torenia, in which the co‐suppression of FNSII expression was previously reported to diminish petal anthocyanin contents. The observed physical interactions among flavonoid enzymes of these plant species provided further evidence supporting the long‐suspected organization of flavonoid metabolons as enzyme complexes tethered to the ER via cytochrome P450, and illustrated how flavonoid metabolons mediate flower coloration. Moreover, the observed interaction partnerships were distinct from those previously identified in other plant species (Arabidopsis thaliana and soybean), suggesting that the organization of flavonoid metabolons may differ among plant species. 相似文献

Isoflavonoids are specialized plant metabolites, almost exclusive to legumes, and their biosynthesis forms a branch of the diverse phenylpropanoid pathway. Plant metabolism may be coordinated at many levels, including formation of protein complexes, or ‘metabolons’, which represent the molecular level of organization. Here, we have confirmed the existence of the long‐postulated isoflavonoid metabolon by identifying elements of the complex, their subcellular localizations and their interactions. Isoflavone synthase (IFS) and cinnamate 4–hydroxylase (C4H) have been shown to be tandem P450 enzymes that are anchored in the ER, interacting with soluble enzymes of the phenylpropanoid and isoflavonoid pathways (chalcone synthase, chalcone reductase and chalcone isomerase). The soluble enzymes of these pathways, whether localized to the cytoplasm or nucleus, are tethered to the ER through interaction with these P450s. The complex is also held together by interactions between the soluble elements. We provide evidence for IFS interaction with upstream and non‐consecutive enzymes. The existence of such a protein complex suggests a possible mechanism for flux of metabolites into the isoflavonoid pathway. Further, through interaction studies, we identified several candidates that are associated with GmIFS2, an isoform of IFS, in soybean hairy roots. This list provides additional candidates for various biosynthetic and structural elements that are involved in isoflavonoid production. Our interaction studies provide valuable information about isoform specificity among isoflavonoid enzymes, which may guide future engineering of the pathway in legumes or help overcome bottlenecks in heterologous expression. 相似文献

Soybeans (Glycine max [L.] Merr.) respond to pathogens by producing isoflavonoid-derived phytoalexins. Chalcone synthase (CHS) is the first enzyme of the flavonoid/isoflavonoid biosynthetic pathway. We investigated changes in the steady state levels of CHS mRNA and other specific mRNAs at increasing times after inoculation in two different race-specific interactions, one between leaves and the bacterium Pseudomonas syringae pv glycinea (Psg), and one between roots and the fungus, Phytophthora megasperma f. sp. glycinea (Pmg). The amount of CHS mRNA increases significantly in soybean leaves inoculated with an avirulent race of Psg but not with a virulent race or water. In contrast, the increase in CHS mRNA is similar in roots inoculated with zoospores of either an avirulent or virulent race of Pmg. CHS mRNA increases significantly in pathogen inoculated roots but not in uninoculated controls. Hydroxyproline-rich glycoprotein (HRGP) has been observed by others to increase in wounded or pathogen-inoculated plants. We report here that HRGP mRNA levels are greater in roots inoculated with an avirulent Pmg race than with a virulent race, but inoculation with either race causes a significant increase in HRGP mRNA with respect to controls. Calmodulin or ubiquitin mRNA do not increase in either uninoculated or inoculated roots and leaves. The possibility that race-specific resistance in soybeans is expressed differently in different organs of the plant is discussed. 相似文献

Isoflavones and proanthocyanidins (PAs), which are flavonoid derivatives, possess many health benefits and play important roles in forage‐based livestock production. However, the foliage of Medicago species accumulates limited levels of both isoflavones and PAs. In this study, biosynthesis of isoflavone and PA in Medicago truncatula was enhanced via synergy between soya bean isoflavone synthase (IFS1); two upstream enzymes, chalcone synthase (CHS) and chalcone isomerase (CHI); and the endogenous flavanone 3‐hydroxylase (F3H). Constitutive expression of GmIFS1 alone resulted in ectopic accumulation of the isoflavone daidzein and large increases in the levels of the isoflavones formononetin, genistein and biochanin A in the leaves. Furthermore, coexpression of GmIFS1 with GmCHS7 and GmCHI1A generally increased the available flux to flavonoid biosynthesis and resulted in elevated isoflavone, flavone and PA contents. In addition, down‐regulation of MtF3H combined with coexpression of GmIFS1, GmCHS7 and GmCHI1A led to the highest isoflavone levels (up to 2 μmol/g fresh weight in total). Taken together, our results demonstrate that multigene synergism is a powerful means to enhance the biosynthesis of particular flavonoids and can be more broadly applied to the metabolic engineering of forage species. 相似文献

Supramolecular organization of tricarboxylic acid cycle enzymes 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
We propose a spatial structure for the tricarboxylic acid cycle enzyme complex (tricarboxylic acid cycle metabolon). The structure is based on an analysis of data on the interaction between tricarboxylic acid cycle enzymes and the mitochondrial inner membrane, as well as on data on enzyme-enzyme interactions. The alpha-ketoglutarate dehydrogenase complex, adsorbed along one of the 3-fold symmetry axes of the mitochondrial inner membrane, plays a key role in formation of the metabolon. In the interaction with the membrane, two association sites of the alpha-ketoglutarate dehydrogenase complex participate, placed on opposite sides of the complex. The tricarboxylic acid cycle enzyme complex contains one molecule of the alpha-ketoglutarate dehydrogenase complex and six molecules of each of the other enzymes of the tricarboxylic acid cycle, as well as aspartate aminotransferase and nucleoside-diphosphate kinase. Succinate dehydrogenase, which is the integral protein of the mitochondrial inner membrane, is a component of the anchor site responsible for the assembly of the metabolon on the membrane. The molecular mass of the complex (without regard to succinate dehydrogenase) is 8 x 10(6) Da. The metabolon symmetry corresponds to the D3 point symmetry group. 相似文献

N-acetyl-L-glutamate kinase (NAGK) catalyzes the second, generally controlling, step of arginine biosynthesis. In yeasts, NAGK exists either alone or forming a metabolon with N-acetyl-L-glutamate synthase (NAGS), which catalyzes the first step and exists only within the metabolon. Yeast NAGK (yNAGK) has, in addition to the amino acid kinase (AAK) domain found in other NAGKs, a ~150-residue C-terminal domain of unclear significance belonging to the DUF619 domain family. We deleted this domain, proving that it stabilizes yNAGK, slows catalysis and modulates feed-back inhibition by arginine. We determined the crystal structures of both the DUF619 domain-lacking yNAGK, ligand-free as well as complexed with acetylglutamate or acetylglutamate and arginine, and of complete mature yNAGK. While all other known arginine-inhibitable NAGKs are doughnut-like hexameric trimers of dimers of AAK domains, yNAGK has as central structure a flat tetramer formed by two dimers of AAK domains. These dimers differ from canonical AAK dimers in the -110° rotation of one subunit with respect to the other. In the hexameric enzymes, an N-terminal extension, found in all arginine-inhibitable NAGKs, forms a protruding helix that interlaces the dimers. In yNAGK, however, it conforms a two-helix platform that mediates interdimeric interactions. Arginine appears to freeze an open inactive AAK domain conformation. In the complete yNAGK structure, two pairs of DUF619 domains flank the AAK domain tetramer, providing a mechanism for the DUF619 domain modulatory functions. The DUF619 domain exhibits the histone acetyltransferase fold, resembling the catalytic domain of bacterial NAGS. However, the putative acetyl CoA site is blocked, explaining the lack of NAGS activity of yNAGK. We conclude that the tetrameric architecture is an adaptation to metabolon formation and propose an organization for this metabolon, suggesting that yNAGK may be a good model also for yeast and human NAGSs. 相似文献

Soybean (Glycine max) 5‐deoxyisoflavonoids (daidzein and its conjugates) are precursors of glyceollin phytoalexins. They are also converted to equol by microbes in the human intestine, resulting in health benefits. 5‐Deoxyisoflavonoids accumulate in the roots (93% mol/mol of the total root isoflavonoids) and seeds of unstressed soybean plants. Chalcone reductase (CHR) is a key enzyme mediating 5‐deoxyisoflavonoid biosynthesis because it catalyzes the production of 6′‐deoxychalcone through its effects on the chalcone synthase (CHS)‐catalyzed reaction. The soybean genome encodes at least 11 CHR‐related homologs, but it is unclear which ones are functionally important for daidzein accumulation in unstressed plants. Among the CHR homologs, the temporal and spatial expression patterns of GmCHR5 were the most correlated with the distribution patterns of 5‐deoxyisoflavonoids. The CHR activity of GmCHR5 was confirmed in vitro and in planta. In the in vitro assays, the ratio of CHR products (6′‐deoxychalcone) to total CHS products (R value) was dependent on GmCHR5 and CHS concentrations, with higher concentrations resulting in higher R values (i.e. approaching 90%). Subcellular localization analyses revealed that GmCHR5 was present in the cytoplasm and nucleus. Protein–protein interaction assays indicated that GmCHR5, but not GmCHR1 and GmCHR6, interacted with 2‐hydroxyisoflavanone synthase (IFS) isozymes. The CHS isozymes also interacted with IFS isozymes but not with GmCHR5. The proposed micro‐compartmentalization of isoflavone biosynthesis through the formation of an IFS‐mediated metabolon is probably involved in positioning GmCHR5 close to CHS, resulting in an R value that is high enough for the accumulation of abundant 5‐deoxyisoflavonoids in soybean roots. 相似文献

In virtue of analysis of data on the interaction of tricarboxylic acid cycle enzymes with the mitochondrial inner membrane and data on the enzyme-enzyme interactions, the spatial structure for the tricarboxylic acid cycle enzyme complex (tricarboxylic acid cycle metabolon) is proposed. The alpha-ketoglutarate dehydrogenase complex, adsorbed on the mitochondrial inner membrane along one of its 3-fold symmetry axes, plays the key role in the formation of metabolon. Two association sites of the alpha-ketoglutarate dehydrogenase complex located on opposite sides of the complex participate in the interaction with the membrane. The tricarboxylic acid cycle enzyme complex contains one molecule of the alpha-ketoglutarate dehydrogenase complex and six molecules of each of the other enzymes of the tricarboxylic acid cycle, as well as aspartate aminotransferase and nucleosidediphosphate kinase. Succinate dehydrogenase, the integral protein of the mitochondrial inner membrane, is a component of the anchor site responsible for the assembly of metabolon on the membrane. The molecular mass of the complex (ignoring succinate dehydrogenase) is of 8.10(6) daltons. The metabolon symmetry corresponds to the D3 point symmetry group. It is supposed, that the tricarboxylic acid cycle enzyme complex interacts with other multienzyme complexes of the matrix and the electron transfer chain. 相似文献

Organization of soybean chalcone synthase gene clusters and characterization of a new member of the family 总被引:1,自引:1,他引:0
Chalcone synthase (CHS; EC 2.3.1.74), the first committed enzyme of the multibranched pathway of flavonoid/isoflavonoid biosynthesis is encoded by a multigene family in soybean, (Glycine max L. Merrill). Our results suggest that this gene family comprises at least seven members, some of which are clustered. We have identified four chs clusters in the allo-tetraploid G. max genome and chs5, a newly characterized member of the chs gene family is present in two of them. We describe the complete nucleotide sequence of chs5, the identification of its immediate neighbors and the organization of the four hitherto identified chs clusters in the Gm genome. 相似文献

Substrate specificity of recombinant chalcone synthase (CHS) from Scutellaria baicalensis (Labiatae) was investigated using chemically synthesized aromatic and aliphatic CoA esters. It was demonstrated for the first time that CHS converted benzoyl-CoA to phlorobenzophenone (2,4,6-trihydroxybenzophenone) along with pyrone by-products. On the other hand, phenylacetyl-CoA was enzymatically converted to an unnatural aromatic polyketide, phlorobenzylketone (2, 4,6-trihydroxyphenylbenzylketone), whose structure was finally confirmed by chemical synthesis. Furthermore, in agreement with earlier reports, S. baicalensis CHS also accepted aliphatic CoA esters, isovaleryl-CoA and isobutyryl-CoA, to produce phloroacylphenones. In contrast, hexanoyl-CoA only afforded pyrone derivatives without formation of a new aromatic ring. It was noteworthy that both aromatic and aliphatic CoA esters were accepted in the active site of the enzyme as a starter substrate for the complex condensation reaction. The low substrate specificity of CHS thus provided further insight into the structure and function of the enzyme. 相似文献

Branched-chain amino acids (BCAAs) catabolism follows sequential reactions and their metabolites intersect with other metabolic pathways. The initial enzymes in BCAA metabolism, the mitochondrial branched-chain aminotransferase (BCATm), which deaminates the BCAAs to branched-chain α-keto acids (BCKAs); and the branched-chain α-keto acid dehydrogenase enzyme complex (BCKDC), which oxidatively decarboxylates the BCKAs, are organized in a supramolecular complex termed metabolon. Glutamate dehydrogenase (GDH1) is found in the metabolon in rat tissues. Bovine GDH1 binds to the pyridoxamine 5′-phosphate (PMP)-form of human BCATm (PMP-BCATm) but not to pyridoxal 5′-phosphate (PLP)-BCATm in vitro. This protein interaction facilitates reamination of the α-ketoglutarate (αKG) product of the GDH1 oxidative deamination reaction. Human GDH1 appears to act like bovine GDH1 but human GDH2 does not show the same enhancement of BCKDC enzyme activities. Another metabolic enzyme is also found in the metabolon is pyruvate carboxylase (PC). Kinetic results suggest that PC binds to the E1 decarboxylase of BCKDC but does not effect BCAA catabolism. The protein interaction of BCATm and GDH1 promotes regeneration of PLP-BCATm which then binds to BCKDC resulting in channeling of the BCKA products from BCATm first half reaction to E1 and promoting BCAA oxidation and net nitrogen transfer from BCAAs. The cycling of nitrogen through glutamate via the actions of BCATm and GDH1 releases free ammonia. Formation of ammonia may be important for astrocyte glutamine synthesis in the central nervous system. In peripheral tissue association of BCATm and GDH1 would promote BCAA oxidation at physiologically relevant BCAA concentrations. 相似文献
