Rubisco-bis-phosphate oxygenase (RuBP)- A potential housekeeping gene for qPCR assays in tea
نویسندگان
چکیده
The present experiment is an effort to find a stable reference gene in Camellia sinensis and Camellia assamica under different biotic and abiotic stresses. This study evaluate the variation in gene expression across tea leaf tissues in nine experiments. The suitability of 18S rRNA, 26S rRNA, rubiscobis-phosphatase oxygenase (RuBP) and Camellia tubulin (CaT) as reference genes were validated by geNorm and BestKeeper programs. The finding reveals 18S rRNA and RuBP to be the most stably expressed housekeeping genes, the latter being the first report of its kind in tea. The finding paves the way for their application in accurate quantification of trait specific gene expression and other genomic studies in tea.

Ribulose-1,5-bisphosphate carboxylase/oxygenase activase protein prevents the in vitro decline in activity of ribulose-1,5-bisphosphate carboxylase/oxygenase.
The rate of CO(2) fixation by ribulose-1,5-bisphosphate carboxylase/oxygenase (rubisco) following addition of ribulose 1,5-bisphosphate (RuBP) to fully activated enzyme, declined with first-order kinetics, resulting in 50% loss of rubisco activity after 10 to 12 minutes. This in vitro decline in rubisco activity, termed fall-over, was prevented if purified rubisco activase protein and ATP were ...

Abscisic acid ((+)-ABA) is a phytohormone involved in the modulation of developmental processes and stress responses in plants. A chemical proteomics approach using an ABA mimetic probe was combined with in vitro assays, isothermal titration calorimetry (ITC), x-ray crystallography and in silico modelling to identify putative (+)-ABA binding-proteins in crude extracts of Arabidopsis thaliana. R...

We developed a continuous-addition method for maintaining subsaturating concentrations of ribulose-1,5-bisphosphate (RuBP) for severa1 minutes, while simultaneously monitoring i t s consumption by ribulose-1,5-bisphosphate carboxylase/oxygenase (Rubisco). This method enabled us to observe the effects of subsaturating RuBP and CO, concentrations on the activity of Rubisco during much longer peri...
متن کاملNanoESI mass spectrometry of Rubisco and Rubisco activase structures and their interactions with nucleotides and sugar phosphates.
Ribulose bisphosphate carboxylase/oxygenase (Rubisco) is the protein that is responsible for the fixation of carbon dioxide in photosynthesis. Inhibitory sugar phosphate molecules, which can include its substrate ribulose-1,5-bisphosphate (RuBP), can bind to Rubisco catalytic sites and inhibit catalysis. These are removed by interaction with Rubisco activase (RA) via an ATP hydrolytic reaction....
متن کاملDifferent location in dark-adapted leaves of Phaseolus vulgaris of ribulose-1,5-bisphosphate carboxylase/oxygenase and 2-carboxyarabinitol 1-phosphate.
In situ RuBisCO activity was analyzed in order to determine whether 2-carboxyarabinitol 1-phosphate (CA1P) interacts with the enzyme in dark-adapted leaves of Phaseolus vulgaris. Leaves ground to fine powder in liquid nitrogen were put directly into a reaction mixture containing a saturating concentration of ribulose 1,5-bisphosphate (RuBP) to preserve the activity of RuBisCO which was in the c...
