Molecular cloning and expression of 12-oxophytodienoic acid reductase gene from barley
نویسنده
چکیده
The 12-oxophytodienoic acid reductases (OPRs) are flavin mononucleotide-dependent oxidoreductases that catalyse the reduction of double bonds in α,β-unsaturated aldehyde and ketones and some of them are part of the octadecanoid pathway leading to jasmonic acid biosynthesis. In this paper, a member of the OPR gene family (HvOPR1) was isolated from barley, the full length cDNA of HvOPR1 was 1298 bp containing a 1089 bp ORF encoding 362 amino acids. Bioinformatic analyses revealed that the deduced HvOPR1 has considerable homology with other plant OPRs. Phylogenetic analysis showed that HvOPR1 codes for OPR of subgroup I, containing enzymes which are not required for jasmonic acid biosynthesis. Expression of HvOPR1 during development and in response to abiotic stresses and hormonal treatments was analyzed by semi-quantitative reverse-transcription PCR. HvOPR1 expression was differentially regulated during primary leaf development and up-regulated in response to drought, hydrogen peroxide and wounding. Moreover, the accumulation of HvOPR1 mRNA was increased in response to jasmonic acid, salicylic acid and abscisic acid. The results suggested that HvOPR1 might play an important role during development and in response to abiotic stresses and signaling molecules.

Jasmonic acid (JA) and 12-oxophytodienoic acid (OPDA) are signal molecules involved in the stress and defense responses in plants. A full-length cDNA clon of OPR3 encoding 12oxophytodienoate reductase 3, key enzyme involved in the biosynthesis of JA from linolenic acid was obtained from a Solanum tuberosum cDNA library. Sequence analysis showed that OPR3 encoded a polypeptide of 400 amino acids...

Background: Currently, there are no effective vaccines against leishmaniasis, and treatment using pentavalent antimonial drugs is occasionally effective and often toxic for patients. The PTR1 enzyme, which causes antifolate drug resistance in Leishmania parasites encoded by gene pteridine reductase 1 (ptr1). Since Leishmania lacks pteridine and folate metabolism, it cannot synthesize the pterid...

Plants are naturally exposed to frequent changes in environmental conditions such as salt stress affecting their growth and development, and consequently a considerable reduction in total productivity. Monodehydroascorbate reductase (MDHAR), a key enzyme in ascorbate-glutathione cycle, serves as an important antioxidative enzyme in scavenging of reactive oxygen spices (ROS). In this study, ...

To evaluate the role of wild promoter of L-phenylalanine dehydrogenase (PheDH) gene, referred to as pdh, from Bacillus sphaericus in expression, cloning of pdh gene in Bacillus subtilis was performed. The whole pdh gene was cloned in pHY300PLK shuttle vector and amplified, construct (pHYDH) then transformed in B. subtilis ISW1214 and E. coli JM109. The pdh endogenous promoter presented no effec...
