Duplicated cytosolic malate dehydrogenase genes in Zea mays.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Six inbred lines of Zea mays expressing different soluble (cytosolic) malate dehydrogenase (sMDH) zymogram phenotypes were analyzed genetically. sMDH was found to be coded for by unlinked duplicated loci in four of these inbred lines. The remaining two lines were found not to possess these duplicated loci. Furthermore, the duplicated loci, sMdh1 and sMdh2, have been found to be located on different chromosomes: sMdh1 on chromosome 1L linked to Amp1, and sMdh2 on chromosome 5S linked to Cat1 and Amp3. The importance of finding sMDH encoded by duplicated loci is discussed in relation to the role of chromosomal rearrangements, the relationship between the cytoplasmic and mitochondrial enzymes, and the evolution of Z. mays.

Chromosomal Location of Two Mitochondrial Malate Dehydrogenase Structural Genes in ZEA MAYS Using Trisomics and B-A Translocations.
Maize mitochondrial malate dehydrogenase is coded by four genetic loci, Mdh1, Mdh2, Mdh3 and Mdh4. Two of the four loci have been located on the long arm of chromosome 6, using trisomic analysis and B-A translocations.
متن کاملAmino Acid Sequence and Molecular Weight of Native NADP Malate Dehydrogenase from the C(4) Plant Zea mays.
N-terminus amino acid analysis of purified corn (Zea mays) NADP malate dehydrogenase showed that the mature protein begins at serine-41 of the preprotein sequence and not threonine-58 as previously concluded; therefore, the transit peptide consists of 40 amino acids. The theoretical molecular weight of the mature subunit protein (392 amino acids) is 42,564, agreeing with an experimental value o...
متن کاملPurification and characterization of cytosolic 6-phosphogluconate dehydrogenase isozymes from maize.
Cytosolic isozymes of 6-phosphogluconate dehydrogenase were purified from roots of maize (Zea mays L.). The final preparation contained two 55-kD proteins. Affinity-purified dehydrogenases from a maize line that is null for both cytosolic 6-phosphogluconate dehydrogenase isozymes (Pgd1-null, Pgd2-null) lacked the 55-kD proteins. The substrate kinetics of the purified enzyme were determined.
متن کاملGenetic basis of the major malate dehydrogenase isozymes in maize.
The mitochondrial MDH isozymes in the scutellum of the mature maize (Zea mays L.) kernel are encoded by three independently inherited nuclear genes. Mdh1 is located on chromosome 8, close to the breakpoint (8L.35) of a waxy-marked reciprocal translocation between chromosomes 8 and 9. Mdh2 is located in the distal region of the long arm of chromosome 6. Mdh3 is on the long arm of chromosome 3, a...

The influence of oxygen and temperature on the inactivation of pyruvate,Pi dikinase and NADP-malate dehydrogenase was studied in Zea mays. 02 was required for inactivation of both pyruvate,Pi dikinase and NADP-malate dehydrogenase in the dark in vivo. The rate of inactivation under 2% 02 was only slightly lower than that at 21% 02. The in vitro inactivation of pyruvate,Pi dikinase, while depend...
