A possible role for pyrophosphate in the coordination of cytosolic and plastidial carbon metabolism within the potato tuber.
The early stages of tuber development are characterized by cell division, high metabolic activity, and the predominance of invertase as the sucrose (Suc) cleaving activity. However, during the subsequent phase of starch accumulation the cleavage of Suc occurs primarily by the action of Suc synthase. The mechanism that is responsible for this switch in Suc cleaving activities is currently unknow...
متن کاملUnknown components of the plastidial permeome
Beyond their role in photosynthesis plastids provide a plethora of additional metabolic functions to plant cells. For example, they harbor complete biosynthetic pathways for the de novo synthesis of carotenoids, fatty acids, and amino acids. Furthermore plastids contribute important reactions to multi-compartmentalized pathways, such as photorespiration or plant hormone syntheses, and they depe...
متن کاملMutagenesis of a plastidial lysophosphatidic acid acyltransferase.
A combination of site-directed and random mutagenesis generated sequence variants of a plastidial lysophosphatidic acid acyltransferase. Alanine substitutions of residues present within two conserved motifs including the putative catalytic histidine resulted in a loss of acyltransferase activity assessed as complementation competence. Substitutions at five sites within the central core resulted...
متن کاملIsoprenoid enzyme systems of silkworm. I. Partial purification of isopentenyl pyrophosphate isomerase, farnesyl pyrophosphate synthetase, and geranylgeranyl pyrophosphate synthetase.
Isopentenyl pyrophosphate isomerase, farnesyl pyrophosphate synthetase, and geranylgeranyl pyrophosphate synthetase were detected in cell-free extracts of Bombyx mori and were partially purified by hydroxyapatite and Sephadex G-100 chromatography. Two forms of farnesyl pyrophosphate synthetase were chromatographically separated. They were designated as farnesyl pyrophosphate synthetases I and I...
متن کاملUridine - 5 ’ - Pyrophosphate Derivatives
The first evidence for the existence of uridine diphosphate compounds was limited to the observation that Staphylococcus aureus cells, when grown in the presence of penicillin, accumulated a new form of acid-labile phosphate in their internal environment (1). The labile phosphate appeared to be part of a complex compound which also contained uracil. In a brief note (2), it has since been report...
