چکیده

Acridone synthase has been purified from cell suspension cultures of Ruta graveolens using a combination of gel filtration and ion exchange chromatography. The purified enzyme has an apparent molecular weight of 69 kDa on gel filtration and a subunit structure on SDS-PAGE of 40 kDa. The apparent Km-values are 10.64 microM and 32.8 microM for N-methylanthraniloyl-CoA and malonyl-CoA, respectively. Tryptic digestion of the homogeneous acridone synthase was performed. Seven of the peptides were chosen for microsequencing. The homology of the amino acid sequences from this particular polypeptide and corresponding peptides from chalcone synthase 3 from garden pea amounted to 76%.

Purification and cDNA cloning of anthranilate synthase from Ruta graveolens: modes of expression and properties of native and recombinant enzymes.

Ruta graveolens utilizes anthranilate synthase (AS) for the synthesis both of tryptophan in primary metabolism and acridone alkaloids in secondary metabolism. AS has been purified from plants and cell cultures of R. graveolens 670- and 1700-fold, respectively. Glutamine- and ammonia-dependent AS activities were strictly co-purified in all steps. Through cDNA cloning and complementation of Esche...

Characterization of Volatile Constituents from Heterotrophic Cell Suspension Cultures of Ruta graveolens

Heterotrophic cell suspension cultures of Ruta graveolens were established by reversion of photom ixotrophic cultures without any change in the chemical composition of the growth medium. The heterotrophic cultures were qualitatively and quantitatively analyzed by gaschromatography and mass spectroscopy for volatile compounds. The terpenoid hydrocarbons geijerene and pregeijerene, C6-C8 ketones,...

Genetic transformation of the medicinal plant Ruta graveolens L. by an Agrobacterium tumefaciens-mediated method

Ruta graveolens L. is a source of pharmacologically active molecules such as furocoumarins, furoquinolines and acridone alkaloids. A genetic transformation method using Agrobacterium tumefaciens was developed for this plant species. The conditions for an efficient regeneration of R. graveolens led us to retain hypocotyls among other explants tested. Subsequently, transformation was obtained by ...

Rutacridone-epoxide, a New Acridone Alkaloid from Rut a graveolens *

Several acridone alkaloids have been isolated from roots of Ruta graveolens (for summary see [1, 2]). One of the main alkaloids is rutacridone (1) which seems to be a precursor of several derivatives with hydroxyl or chlorine functions at the isopropyl moiety. As an intermediate an 18,19-epoxide of rutacridone could be postulated [1, 3] that has not yet been identified. Screening for antimicrob...
