Nucleotide sequence of two potato alcohol dehydrogenase cDNAs.
نویسندگان
چکیده
We have isolated two cDNA clones for potato {Solatium tuberosum L. cv. Kennebec) alcohol dehydrogenase (ADH, EC. 1.1.1.1) from a tuber cDNA library (1). Each clone encodes a polypeptide of 380 amino acids that differ at only one position (amino acid 5). The nucleotide sequences show 96% identity These two sequences are highly similar with the sequence of another potato ADH cDNA clone (1) and the sequence of maize ADH1 (2). Transcripts corresponding to these three cDNA clones accumulate in potato tubers following wounding, elicitor treatment and anaerobiosis (1). ACKNOWLEDGEMENT

The Drosophila alcohol dehydrogenase gene may have evolved independently of the functionally homologous medfly, olive fly, and flesh fly genes.
cDNAs for alcohol dehydrogenase (ADH) isozymes were cloned and sequenced from two tephritid fruit flies, the medfly Ceratitis capitata and the olive fly Bactrocera oleae. Because of the high sequence divergence compared with the Drosophila sequences, the medfly cDNAs were cloned using sequence information from the purified proteins, and the olive fly cDNAs were cloned by functional complementat...
متن کاملTwo cDNAs representing alleles of the nitrate reductase gene of potato (Solanum tuberosum L. cv. Desirée): sequence analysis, genomic organization and expression.
Two, different, full-length cDNAs, StNR2 and StNR3, of 3049 and 3066 nucleotides, respectively, were isolated from a Solanum tuberosum L. cv. Desirée leaf cDNA library by an RT-PCR approach. Conceptual translation of the longest open reading frame of each cDNA showed that they could encode a protein of 911 amino acids in each case with an M(r) of 102.6 and 102.5 kDa, respectively, and with 99.7...
متن کاملNucleotide Sequence of Potato Virus
SUMMARY The complete nucleotide sequence of the genomic RNA of the potyvirus potato virus Y strain N (PVYn) was obtained from cloned cDNAs. This sequence is 9704 nucleotides long and can encode a polyprotein of 3063 amino acids. The positions of the cleavage sites at the N terminus of the capsid and cytoplasmic inclusion proteins have been determined. Other putative protein cleavage sites have ...
متن کاملThree human alcohol dehydrogenase subunits: cDNA structure and molecular and evolutionary divergence.
Class I human alcohol dehydrogenase (ADH; alcohol:NAD+ oxidoreductase, EC 1.1.1.1) consists of several homo- and heterodimers of alpha, beta, and gamma subunits that are governed by the ADH1, ADH2, and ADH3 loci. We previously cloned a full length of cDNA for the beta subunit, and the complete sequence of 374 amino acid residues was established. cDNAs for the alpha and gamma subunits were clone...
متن کاملEstimates of gene flow in Drosophila pseudoobscura determined from nucleotide sequence analysis of the alcohol dehydrogenase region.
The genetic structure of Drosophila pseudoobscura populations was inferred from a nucleotide sequence analysis of a 3.4-kb segment of the alcohol dehydrogenase (Adh) region. A total of 99 isochromosomal strains collected from 13 populations in North and South America were used to determine if any population departed from a neutral model and to estimate levels of gene flow between populations. T...
