Circadian 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 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 کاملSubstrate Inhibition of Maize Endosperm Sucrose Synthase by Fructose and Its Interaction with Glucose Inhibition*
Sucrose synthase (EC 2.4.1.13) was purified to homogeneity from developing maize lZea mays L.) endosperm. Substrate saturation and inhibitor kinetics were examined for the sucrose synthase reaction. The Km-values for fructose and uridine diphosphate glucose (UDPGlc) were estimated to be 7.8 mM and 76 IlM, respectively. Fructose concentrations over 20 mM inhibited sucrose synthase in an uncompet...
متن کاملInhibition of nitric oxide synthase activity improves focal cerebral damage induced by cerebral ischemia/reperfusion in normotensive rats
Introduction: Nitric oxide seems to play a dual role in ischemia/reperfusion injury. Few studies have investigated whether it exacerbates or improves brain edema. In the present study, we inhibited the activity of nitric oxide synthase by L-NAME and evaluated the cerebral infarct volume, tissue swelling and brain edema, alongside the measurement of blood flow of the ischemic region. Methods...
متن کاملReversible inhibition of bacterial growth after specific inhibition of spermidine synthase by dicyclohexylamine.
The effect of dicyclohexylamine on seven freshly isolated bacterial strains of mastitis pathogens was studied. Streptococcus uberis was the most sensitive strain investigated, since 5 mM-dicyclohexylamine totally arrested its growth and 1.25 mM of the drug caused 60% growth inhibition. The Staphylococcus aureus, Escherichia coli and Pseudomonas aeruginosa strains were also sensitive to the drug...
