چکیده

Sorbitol plays a key role in the translocation of photosynthate in the Rosaceae family, including apple (Malus domestica), pear, and stone fruits (4, 7). NADP-S6PDH2 plays the most important role in biosynthesis of sorbitol in apple because its activity increases before accumulation of sorbitol in seedlings (8), and high activity is maintained in leaves (10). This enzyme reduces G6P to S6P using only NADPH (1, 6). Therefore, S6P dehydrogenase (EC 1.1.1.140), which catalyzes NAD-dependent conversion between fructose 6-phosphate and S6P in microorganisms (3), is different from NADP-S6PDH described in this paper. We report the isolation of a cDNA clone encoding NADPS6PDH from apple (Table I). To our knowledge, this is the first report of the complete primary structure of a sorbitolrelated enzyme from plants. A cDNA library constructed from apple seedlings was screened with the antibody against NADP-S6PDH purified from loquat leaves (1). The nucleotide and deduced amino acid sequences of the clone cDNA is shown in Figure 1.

Nucleotide sequence of cDNA encoding for preprochymosin in native goat (Capra hircus) from Iran

Prochymosin is one of the most important aspartic proteinases used as a milk-clotting enzyme in cheese production. In the present investigation we report sequence of cDNA encoding goat ( Capra hircus ) preprochymosin and compare its nucleotide and deduced amino acid sequences with sequences of other ruminants preprochymosin. As bovine prochymosin, the caprine prochymosin cDNA encodes 365 amino ...

Sorbitol metabolism and sink-source interconversions in developing apple leaves.

In apple (Malus domestica Borkh.) sorbitol is the primary product of photosynthesis, the major translocated form of carbon, and a common fruit constituent and storage compound. Previous work on sorbitol metabolism has revealed a NADPH-dependent aldose 6-phosphate reductase (A6PR) in green tissues, and a NAD-dependent sorbitol dehydrogenase in nongreen tissues. Results here show a decrease in so...

Detection and characterization of sorbitol dehydrogenase from apple callus tissue.

Sorbitol dehydrogenase (l-iditol:NAD(+) oxidoreductase, EC 1.1.1.14) has been detected and characterized from apple (Malus domestica cv. Granny Smith) mesocarp tissue cultures. The enzyme oxidized sorbitol, xylitol, l-arabitol, ribitol, and l-threitol in the presence of NAD. NADP could not replace NAD. Mannitol was slightly oxidized (8% of sorbitol). Other polyols that did not serve as substrat...

Characterization and Partial Purification of Aldose-6-phosphate Reductase (Alditol-6-Phosphate:NADP 1-Oxidoreductase) from Apple Leaves.

Aldose-6-phosphate reductase (alditol 6-phosphate:NADP 1-oxidoreductase) was isolated and characterized from mature apple leaves (Malus domestica cv. Starkrimson). The enzyme was purified 79-fold. The enzyme catalyzed the following reversible reaction: d-glucose 6-phosphate + NADPH + H(+) right arrow over left arrow d-sorbitol 6-phosphate + NADP(+). No activity was detected when NAD(+) was subs...

Cloning and characterization of NADP-mannitol dehydrogenase cDNA from the button mushroom, Agaricus bisporus, and its expression in response to NaCl stress.

Mannitol, a six-carbon sugar alcohol, is the main storage carbon in the button mushroom, Agaricus bisporus. Given the physiological importance of mannitol metabolism in growth, fruit body development, and salt tolerance of A. bisporus, the enzyme responsible for mannitol biosynthesis, NADP-dependent mannitol dehydrogenase (MtDH) (EC 1.1.1.138), was purified to homogeneity, and MtDH cDNA was clo...
