Evidence for the participation of a 5-oxo-prolinase in degradation of glutathione in Nicotiana tabacum.

چکیده
During degradation of glutathione in tobacco suspension cultures substancial amounts of 5-oxo-proline are formed in vivo as well as in crude cell homogenates in vitro. The existance of a 5-oxo-prolinase that catalyzes the conversion of 5-oxo-proline to glutamic acid was demonstrated in tobacco cells, grown with glutathione as sole sulfur source.

Presence of antibiotic resistance markers has always been considered as one of the main safety concerns in transgenic plants and their derived products. Elimination of antibiotic selectable markers from transgenics is a major hurdle for finding efficient and safe candidates. Herbicide tolerance genes might be attractive alternatives. In this study, a variant form of the 5-enoylpyruvyl shikimate...

Proline as a key osmoregulating solute in plants plays an overriding role in osmotic pressure adjustment of the cell under water stress conditions. In plant, a bifunctional enzyme delta-1-pyrroline-5-carboxylate synthetase (p5cs) promotes and directs proline synthesis during drought stress conditions. The activity of this enzyme is strongly induced to increase proline concentration within the c...

5-Oxo-L-prolinase, the enzyme that catalyzes the conversion of 5-oxo-L-proline to L-glutamate coupled to the cleavage of ATP to ADP and Pi, also acts on L-2-oxothiazolidine-4-carboxylate (an analog of 5-oxoproline in which the 4-methylene moiety is replaced by sulfur) and ATP to yield cysteine and ADP. The enzyme, which exhibits an affinity for the analog similar to that for the natural substra...
