Multiple Isoforms of Endosperm Sucrose Synthase from Guichao Rice
Sucrose synthase activity in rice is potentially yield limiting. This is because the carbon that forms starch enters the developing rice grain as sucrose and that sucrose must be broken down to form the precursors of starch. The enzyme that breaks down sucrose in the filling rice grain is sucrose synthase. Earlier research efforts on rice physiology indicated that endosperm sucrose-synthase act...
متن کاملCircadian Regulation of Sucrose Phosphate Synthase Activity
Sucrose phosphate synthase (SPS), a key enzyme in sucrose biosynthesis, is regulated by protein phosphorylation and shows a circadian pattern of activity in tomato. SPS is most active in its dephosphorylated state, which normally coincides with daytime. Applying okadaic acid, a potent protein phosphatase inhibitor, prevents SPS activation. More interesting is that a brief treatment with cyclohe...
متن کاملMultiple, distinct isoforms of sucrose synthase in pea.
Genes encoding three isoforms of sucrose synthase (Sus1, Sus2, and Sus3) have been cloned from pea (Pisum sativum). The genes have distinct patterns of expression in different organs of the plant, and during organ development. Studies of the isoforms expressed as recombinant proteins in Escherichia coli show that they differ in kinetic properties. Although not of great magnitude, the difference...
متن کاملElevated sucrose-phosphate synthase activity in
Constitutive over-expression of a maize sucrosephosphate synthase (SPS) gene in tobacco (Nicotiana tabacum) had major effects on leaf carbohydrate budgets with consequences for whole plant development. Transgenic tobacco plants ̄owered earlier and had greater ̄ower numbers than wild-type plants. These changes were not linked to modi®ed source leaf carbon assimilation or carbon export, although ...
متن کاملA Novel Sucrose Synthase Pathway for Sucrose Degradation in Cultured Sycamore Cells—Commentary
In 1986, Huber and Akazawa opened a wholly new understanding of pyrophosphate cycling as a plant adaptation for sugar use under widely different metabolic conditions. This pyrophosphate cycling, when linked to sugar metabolism, facilitates previously unrecognized adaptations in plant glycolysis. Among these are distinctive, highly efficient energetics, locally minimal use of ATP, and a capacity...
