Asparagine synthetase in corn roots.

The level of asparagine synthetase is low in 10-mm root tips from corn seedings (Zea mays W64 x W182F) but relatively high in mature root sections taken 20 to 35 mm from the tip. When root tips are excised there is a marked increase in asparagine synthetase over a 5-hour period. In mature root sections, on the other hand, the asparagine synthetase activity declines over the same 5-hour period. ...

Asparagine synthetase1, but not asparagine synthetase2, is responsible for the biosynthesis of asparagine following the supply of ammonium to rice roots.

Asparagine is synthesized from glutamine by the reaction of asparagine synthetase (AS) and is the major nitrogen form in both xylem and phloem sap in rice (Oryza sativa L.). There are two genes encoding AS, OsAS1 and OsAS2, in rice, but the functions of individual AS isoenzymes are largely unknown. Cell type- and NH4(+)-inducible expression of OsAS1 as well as analyses of knockout mutants were ...

Asparagine biosynthesis in soybean nodules.

Asparagine biosynthesis in soybean (Glycine max [L.] Merr.) nodules has been difficult to demonstrate due to the poor conversion of suspected immediate precursors to asparagine and the instability of the key enzyme asparagine synthetase. The present study was designed to explore the effects of two ammonium assimilation inhibitors on the metabolism of (14)CO(2) to [(14)C]asparagine and to demons...

Sugar uptake by cotton tissues: leaf disc versus cultured roots.

The tissue accumulation of sucrose, glucose, and fructose has been studied in cultured cotton (Gossypium hirsutum L.) roots and leaf discs. Sucrose uptake by both tissues from high apoplastic concentrations was independent of pH but has a slightly acidic pH optimum from low concentrations. Like other higher plant tissues, cotton root cells accumulate sucrose via a ;saturable,' inhibitor-sensiti...

Asparagine biosynthesis in human KB tumor cells: inhibitor studies with asparagine and glutamine antagonists.

SUMMARY Resistance to L-asparagine depletion in tumor cells has been correlated with asparagine biosynthesis mediated by the enzyme asparagine synthetase. In this study , we describe certain characteristics of the asparagine synthetase of the KB human tumor cell carried in tissue culture. The KB enzyme is similar to that of other mammalian tumors in terms of c ofactor requirements and inhibitio...
