Trans-specific gene silencing of acetyl-CoA carboxylase in a root-parasitic plant.
Parasitic species of the family Orobanchaceae are devastating agricultural pests in many parts of the world. The control of weedy Orobanchaceae spp. is challenging, particularly due to the highly coordinated life cycles of the parasite and host plants. Although host genetic resistance often provides the foundation of plant pathogen management, few genes that confer resistance to root parasites ...
متن کاملPlant acetyl-CoA carboxylase.
medium containing [” Plphosphate, the distribution of 32P-labelled acetyl-CoA carboxylase in the fractions can be investigated and it has been found that a greater proportion of the phosphorylated enzyme is present in the polymeric form after exposure of the intact tissue to insulin. Present studies are concerned with investigating whether this polymeric active form is phosphorylated to a great...
متن کاملRegulation of acetyl-coA carboxylase: properties of coA activation of acetyl-coA carboxylase.
Acetyl-CoA carboxylase [acetyl-CoA:carbon-dioxide ligase (ADP-forming), EC 6.4.1.2] is activated by physiological concentrations of CoA. The CoA concentration dependency of this activation is sigmoidal; below 60 microM there is little or no activation, but the activation observed between 60 and 120 microM indicates that small changes in the concentration of CoA can cause significant changes in ...
متن کاملIdentification of a second human acetyl-CoA carboxylase gene.
Acetyl-CoA carboxylase (ACC), an important enzyme in fatty acid biosynthesis and a regulator of fatty acid oxidation, is present in at least two isoenzymic forms in rat and human tissues. Previous work has established the existence of a 265,000 Da enzyme in both the rat and human (RACC265; HACC265) and a higher-molecular-mass species (275,000-280,000 Da) in the same species (RACC280; HACC275). ...
متن کاملTrans-specific gene silencing between host and parasitic plants.
Species of Orobanchaceae parasitize the roots of nearby host plants to rob them of water and other nutrients. Parasitism can be debilitating to the host plant, and some of the world's most pernicious agricultural pests are parasitic weeds. We demonstrate here that interfering hairpin constructs transformed into host plants can silence expression of the targeted genes in the parasite. Transgenic...
