Purine nucleotide metabolism of germinating soybean embryonic axes.
نویسنده
چکیده
Isolated soybean (Glycine max L. cv. Kent) embyronic axes metabolized [(14)C]glycine to ATP within the 1 hour of imbibition. Radioactivity was not detected in GTP until the 3rd hour. Throughout most of the first 24 hours of germination about 10 to 26 times as much label from [(14)C]glycine appears in ATP as GTP. About five times as much [(14)C]hypoxanthine and [(14)C]inosine was converted into GTP as into ATP in embryonic axes. Two independent pools of IMP appear to be used in purine nucleotide synthesis of soybean axes.

Responses of adenine nucleotides in germinating soybean embryonic axes to exogenously applied adenine and adenosine.
The ATP content of soybean (Glycine max [L.] Merr. cv. Kent) axes incubated for 3 hours in 1 mm solutions of adenine and adenosine increased over 100% and 75%, respectively, over axes incubated in water. The increase in ATP was primarily due to the conversion of these purines to nucleotides via the nucleotide salvage pathway. The ATP formed was in a metabolically active pool because label from ...
متن کاملSugar metabolism in germinating soybean seeds: evidence for the sorbitol pathway in soybean axes.
Characterization of sugar content and enzyme activity in germinating soybean (Glycine max L. Merrell) seeds led to the discovery of sorbitol accumulating in the axes during germination. The identity of sorbitol was confirmed by relative retention times on high-performance liquid chromatography and gas liquid chromatography and by mass spectra identical with authentic sorbitol. Accumulation of s...
متن کاملGermination of soybean embryonic axes: nucleotide sugar metabolism and initiation of growth.
UDP-Sugars comprise the dominant class of nucleotide sugars in isolated soybean axes during early germination. While "dry" axes contain 1 nanomole per axis of UDP-sugars, further synthesis is initiated upon imbibition such that the concentration of total UDP-sugars reaches 8 nanomoles per axis or roughly 1 millimolar after 10 hours, when the axes begin to elongate. The GDP-sugars are essentiall...
متن کاملMolecular cloning and expression analysis of manganese superoxide dismutase gene from Nelumbo nucifera embryonic axes
A manganese superoxide dismutase (Mn-SOD) gene, NnMSD1, was identified from embryonic axes of the sacred lotus (Nelumbo nucifera Gaertn). The NnMSD1 gene has an open reading frame of 699 bp, and encodes a deduced polypeptide of 233 amino acid residues with a predicted molecular mass 25.9 kDa and isoelectric point of 6.6. The protein contains all conserved residues of the Mn-SOD protein family, ...
