cDNA encoding tropinone reductase-II from Hyoscyamus niger.
Two stereospecific NADPH-dependent reductases, TR-I and TR-11, constitute a branching point in the biosynthesis of tropane alkaloids. TR-I catalyzes the stereospecific reduction of tropinone to tropine (Koelen and Gross, 1982), whereas TR-I1 reduces tropinone to pseudotropine (Drager et al., 1988). We previously characterized TRs that had been purified from cultured roots of Hyoscyamus niger (H...
متن کاملStructures and expression patterns of two tropinone reductase genes from Hyoscyamus niger.
In the biosynthesis of tropane alkaloids, two tropinone reductases (TRs) catalyze reduction of tropinone to different stereoisomers, tropine and pseudotropine. Two TRs from Hyoscyamus niger have 64% of identical amino acids and hence a common evolutionary origin. In this study, genomic clones of TRs were isolated from H. niger. Their sequence comparison showed that although they have the same e...
متن کاملTwo Tropinone Reductases with Distinct Stereospecificities from Cultured Roots of Hyoscyamus niger.
Tropinone is an alkamine intermediate at the branch point of biosynthetic pathways leading to various tropane alkaloids. Two stereospecifically distinct NADPH-dependent oxidoreductases, TR-I and TR-II, which, respectively, reduce tropinone to 3alpha-hydroxytropane (tropine) and 3beta-hydroxytropane (psi-tropine), were detected mainly in the root of tropane alkaloid-producing plants but not in n...
متن کاملPARTIAL PURIFICATION AND CHARACTERIZATION OF B-GALACTOSIDASE FROM ASPERGILLUS NIGER UV-5
The enzyme pgalactosidase from a mutant strain of A. niger UV-5 was partially purified using ammonium sulfate and acetone. The saturation range of 60-80% ammonium sulfate was found to yield 60.5% enzyme recovery with 2.4 fold purification. Acetone precipitation at enzyme: acetone ratio of 1 : 1.5 brought about a higher yield i.e. 68% and three-fold purification. The combined procedures of ...
متن کاملOverexpression of tropinone reductases alters alkaloid composition in Atropa belladonna root cultures.
The medicinally applied tropane alkaloids hyoscyamine and scopolamine are produced in Atropa belladonna L. and in a small number of other Solanaceae. Calystegines are nortropane alkaloids that derive from a branching point in the tropane alkaloid biosynthetic pathway. In A. belladonna root cultures, calystegine molar concentration is 2-fold higher than that of hyoscyamine and scopolamine. In th...
