Milkowski, C.; Baumert, A.; Strack, D.; Cloning and heterologous expression of a rape cDNA encoding UDP-glucose:sinapate glucosyltransferase Planta 211, 883-886, (2000) DOI: 10.1007/s004250000411
A cDNA encoding a UDP-glucose:sinapate glucosyltransferase (SGT) that catalyzes the formation of 1-O-sinapoylglucose, was isolated from cDNA libraries constructed from immature seeds and young seedlings of rape (Brassica napus L.). The open reading frame encoded a protein of 497 amino acids with a calculated molecular mass of 55,970 Da and an isoelectric point of 6.36. The enzyme, functionally expressed in Escherichia coli, exhibited broad substrate specificity, glucosylating sinapate, cinnamate, ferulate, 4-coumarate and caffeate. Indole-3-acetate, 4-hydroxybenzoate and salicylate were not conjugated. The amino acid sequence of the SGT exhibited a distinct sequence identity to putative indole-3-acetate glucosyltransferases from Arabidopsis thaliana and a limonoid glucosyltransferase from Citrus unshiu, indicating that SGT belongs to a distinct subgroup of glucosyltransferases that catalyze the formation of 1-O-acylglucosides (β-acetal esters).
Mikkat, S.; Milkowski, C.; Hagemann, M.; The gene sll 0273 of the cyanobacterium Synechocystis sp. strain PCC6803 encodes a protein essential for growth at low Na+/K+ ratios Plant Cell Environ. 23, 549-559, (2000) DOI: 10.1046/j.1365-3040.2000.00565.x
A mutant of Synechocystis sp. strain PCC6803 was obtained by random cartridge mutagenesis, which could not grow at low sodium concentrations. Genetic analyses revealed that partial deletion of the sll 0273 gene, encoding a putative Na+ /H+ exchanger, was responsible for this defect. Physiological characterization indicated that the sll 0273 mutant exhibited an increased sensitivity towards K+ , even at low concentrations, which was compensated for by enhanced concentrations of Na+ . This enhanced Na+ demand could also be met by Li+ . Furthermore, addition of monensin, an ionophore mediating electroneutral Na+ /H+ exchange, supported growth of the mutant at unfavourable Na+ /K+ ratios. Measurement of internal Na+ and K+ contents of wild‐type and mutant cells revealed a decreased Na+ /K+ ratio in mutant cells pre‐incubated at a low external Na+ /K+ ratio, while it remained at the level of the wild type after pre‐incubation at a high external Na+ /K+ ratio. We conclude that the Sll0273 protein is required for Na+ influx, especially at low external Na+ concentrations or low Na+ /K+ ratios. This system may be part of a sodium cycle and may permit re‐entry of Na+ into the cells, if nutrient/Na+ symporters are not functional or operating.
Maier, W.; Schmidt, J.; Nimtz, M.; Wray, V.; Strack, D.; Secondary products in mycorrhizal roots of tobacco and tomato Phytochemistry 54, 473-479, (2000) DOI: 10.1016/S0031-9422(00)00047-9
Colonization of the roots of various tobacco species and cultivars (Nicotiana glauca Grah., N. longiflora Cav., N. rustica L., N. tabacum L., N. tabacum L. cv. Samsun NN, N. sanderae hort. Sander ex Wats.) as well as tomato plants (Lycopersicon esculentum L. cv. Moneymaker) by the arbuscular mycorrhizal fungus Glomus intraradices Schenck and Smith resulted in the accumulation of several glycosylated C13 cyclohexenone derivatives. Eight derivatives were isolated from the mycorrhizal roots by preparative high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) and spectroscopically identified (MS and NMR) as mono-, di- and triglucosides of 6-(9-hydroxybutyl)-1,1,5-trimethyl-4-cyclohexen-3-one and monoglucosides of 6-(9-hydroxybutyl)-1,5-dimethyl-4-cyclohexen-3-one-1-carboxylic acid and 6-(9-hydroxybutyl)-1,1-dimethyl-4-cyclohexen-3-one-5-carboxylic acid. In contrast to the induced cyclohexenone derivatives, accumulation of the coumarins scopoletin and its glucoside (scopolin) in roots of N. glauca Grah. and N. tabacum L. cv. Samsun NN, was markedly suppressed.
Lehfeldt, C.; Shirley, A. M.; Meyer, K.; Ruegger, M. O.; Cusumano, J. C.; Viitanen, P. V.; Strack, D.; Chapple, C.; Cloning of the SNG1 Gene of Arabidopsis Reveals a Role for a Serine Carboxypeptidase-like Protein as an Acyltransferase in Secondary Metabolism Plant Cell 12, 1295-1306, (2000) DOI: 10.1105/tpc.12.8.1295
Serine carboxypeptidases contain a conserved catalytic triad of serine, histidine, and aspartic acid active-site residues. These enzymes cleave the peptide bond between the penultimate and C-terminal amino acid residues of their protein or peptide substrates. The Arabidopsis Genome Initiative has revealed that the Arabidopsis genome encodes numerous proteins with homology to serine carboxypeptidases. Although many of these proteins may be involved in protein turnover or processing, the role of virtually all of these serine carboxypeptidase-like (SCPL) proteins in plant metabolism is unknown. We previously identified an Arabidopsis mutant, sng1 (sinapoylglucose accumulator 1), that is defective in synthesis of sinapoylmalate, one of the major phenylpropanoid secondary metabolites accumulated by Arabidopsis and some other members of the Brassicaceae. We have cloned the gene that is defective in sng1 and have found that it encodes a SCPL protein. Expression of SNG1 in Escherichia coli demonstrates that it encodes sinapoylglucose:malate sinapoyltransferase, an enzyme that catalyzes a transesterification instead of functioning like a hydrolase, as do the other carboxypeptidases. This finding suggests that SCPL proteins have acquired novel functions in plant metabolism and provides an insight into the evolution of secondary metabolic pathways in plants.
Irmler, S.; Schröder, G.; St-Pierre, B.; Crouch, N. P.; Hotze, M.; Schmidt, J.; Strack, D.; Matern, U.; Schröder, J.; Indole alkaloid biosynthesis in Catharanthus roseus: new enzyme activities and identification of cytochrome P450 CYP72A1 as secologanin synthase Plant J. 24, 797-804, (2000) DOI: 10.1111/j.1365-313X.2000.00922.x
The molecular characterization of CYP72A1 from Catharanthus roseus (Madagascar periwinkle) was described nearly a decade ago, but the enzyme function remained unknown. We now show by in situ hybridization and immunohistochemistry that the expression in immature leaves is epidermis‐specific. It thus follows the pattern previously established for early enzymes in the pathway to indole alkaloids, suggesting that CYP72A1 may be involved in their biosynthesis. The early reactions in that pathway, i.e. from geraniol to strictosidine, contain several candidates for P450 activities. We investigated in this work two reactions, the conversion of 7‐deoxyloganin to loganin (deoxyloganin 7‐hydroxylase, DL7H) and the oxidative ring cleavage converting loganin into secologanin (secologanin synthase, SLS). The action of DL7H has not been demonstrated in vitro previously, and SLS has only recently been identified as P450 activity in one other plant. We show for the first time that both enzyme activities are present in microsomes from C . roseus cell cultures. We then tested whether CYP72A1 expressed in E. coli as a translational fusion with the C . roseus P450 reductase (P450Red) has one or both of these activities. The results show that CYP72A1 converts loganin into secologanin.
Breunig, K. D.; Bolotin–Fukuhara, M.; Bianchi, M. M.; Bourgarel, D.; Falcone, C.; Ferrero, I.; Frontali, L.; Goffrini, P.; Krijger, J. J.; Mazzoni, C.; Milkowski, C.; Steensma, H. Y.; Wésolowski–Louvel, M.; Zeeman, A. M.; Regulation of primary carbon metabolism in Kluyveromyces lactis Enzyme Microb. Technol. 26, 771-780, (2000) DOI: 10.1016/S0141-0229(00)00170-8
In the recent past, through advances in development of genetic tools, the budding yeast Kluyveromyces lactis has become a model system for studies on molecular physiology of so-called “Nonconventional Yeasts.” The regulation of primary carbon metabolism in K. lactis differs markedly from Saccharomyces cerevisiae and reflects the dominance of respiration over fermentation typical for the majority of yeasts. The absence of aerobic ethanol formation in this class of yeasts represents a major advantage for the “cell factory” concept and large-scale production of heterologous proteins in K. lactis cells is being applied successfully. First insight into the molecular basis for the different regulatory strategies is beginning to emerge from comparative studies on S. cerevisiae and K. lactis. The absence of glucose repression of respiration, a high capacity of respiratory enzymes and a tight regulation of glucose uptake in K. lactis are key factors determining physiological differences to S. cerevisiae. A striking discrepancy exists between the conservation of regulatory factors and the lack of evidence for their functional significance in K. lactis. On the other hand, structurally conserved factors were identified in K. lactis in a new regulatory context. It seems that different physiological responses result from modified interactions of similar molecular modules.
Vogt, T.; Jones, P.; Glycosyltransferases in plant natural product synthesis: characterization of a supergene family Trends Plant Sci. 5, 380-386, (2000) DOI: 10.1016/S1360-1385(00)01720-9
Glycosyltransferases of plant secondary metabolism transfer nucleotide-diphosphate-activated sugars to low molecular weight substrates. Until recently, glycosyltransferases were thought to have only limited influence on the basic physiology of the plant. This view has changed. Glycosyltransferases might in fact have an important role in plant defense and stress tolerance. Recent results obtained with several recombinant enzymes indicate that many glycosyltransferases are regioselective or regiospecific rather than highly substrate specific. This might indicate how plants evolve novel secondary products, placing enzymes with broad substrate specificities downstream of the conserved, early, pivotal enzymes of plant secondary metabolism.
Vierheilig, H.; Gagnon, H.; Strack, D.; Maier, W.; Accumulation of cyclohexenone derivatives in barley, wheat and maize roots in response to inoculation with different arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi Mycorrhiza 9, 291-293, (2000) DOI: 10.1007/PL00009994
Glomus intraradices, Glomus mosseae, and Gigaspora rosea leads to the accumulation of cyclohexenone derivatives. Mycorrhizal roots of all plants accumulate in response to all three fungi blumenin [9-O-(2′-O-glucuronosyl)-β-glucopyranoside of 6-(3-hydroxybutyl)-1,1,5-trimethyl-4-cyclohexen-3-one], 13-carboxyblumenol C 9-O-gentiobioside, nicoblumin [9-O-(6′-O-β-glucopyranosyl)-β-glucopyranoside of 13-hydroxy-6-(3-hydroxybutyl)-1,1,5-trimethyl-4-cyclohexen-3-one] and another, as yet unidentified, cyclohexenone derivative. The accumulation of all four compounds in three tested mycorrhizal plants colonized by the three arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi indicates no fungus-specific induction of these compounds.
