supplementary analysis of phosphoenolpyruvate carboxykinase gene expression in developing seeds of chickpea

چکیده
studies on the genes contributing to the seed filling in chickpea and its protein content might be valuable in engineering plants with seeds of a higher nutritional value. a gene of interest is phosphoenolpyruvate carboxykinase (pepck), encoding a protein with a substantial role in the gluconeogenesis pathway. in the present study, the protein content (percentage) was measured in a number of cultivated chickpea genotypes, followed by comparison of the expression levels of pepck gene at different stages of seed filling in some of the genotypes. this study aims at revealing the relation between pepck transcript level with protein content of chickpea seeds which might, in the longer term, end at protein quality improvement of the crop through the gene manipulation procedures. the results which were verified by real time-pcr and western blot techniques in four genotypes of plant, showed that, the amount of pepck expression was significantly higher at the stage of seed fillingthan at other stages in all of genotypes and the lowest levels of expression belonged to flowering and seed formation and the pepck protein level was higher in the high protein genotypes compared to the low protein genotypes.

Multihormonal Regulation of Phosphoenolpyruvate Carboxykinase Gene Transcription
We used a nuclear RNA transcript elongation assay to show that cAMP analogs and dexamethasone cause a selective increase of transcription of the P-enolpyruvate carboxykinase gene in H4IIE hepatoma cells. 8-(4-~hlorophenylthio)-cAMP increased transcription within 5 min and the maximal rate, generally 10-15fold above the basal rate, was attained by 30 min. This increase was of sufficient magnitud...

Understanding developmental processes, especially in non-model crop plants, is extremely important in order to unravel unique mechanisms regulating development. Chickpea (C. arietinum L.) seeds are especially valued for their high carbohydrate and protein content. Therefore, in order to elucidate the mechanisms underlying seed development in chickpea, deep sequencing of transcriptomes from four...

The pckA gene of Rhizobium meliloti, encoding phosphoenolpyruvate carboxykinase, was isolated from a genomic cosmid library by complementation of the succinate growth phenotype of a Pck- mutant. The gene region was mapped by subcloning and Tn5 insertion mutagenesis. The DNA sequence for a 2-kb region containing the structural gene and its promoter was determined. The pckA gene encodes as 536-am...
