A tolerance gene for prenylated flavonoid encodes a 26S proteasome regulatory subunit in Sophora flavescens.

چکیده
Yeast functional screening with a Sophora flavescens cDNA library was performed to identify the genes involved in the tolerant mechanism to the self-producing prenylated flavonoid sophoraflavanone G (SFG). One cDNA, which conferred SFG tolerance, encoded a regulatory particle triple-A ATPase 2 (SfRPT2), a member of the 26S proteasome subunit. The yeast transformant of SfRPT2 showed reduced SFG accumulation in the cells.

Cloning and characterization of naringenin 8-prenyltransferase, a flavonoid-specific prenyltransferase of Sophora flavescens.
Prenylated flavonoids are natural compounds that often represent the active components in various medicinal plants and exhibit beneficial effects on human health. Prenylated flavonoids are hybrid products composed of a flavonoid core mainly attached to either 5-carbon (dimethylallyl) or 10-carbon (geranyl) prenyl groups derived from isoprenoid (terpenoid) metabolism, and the prenyl groups are c...
متن کاملLocalization of Prenylated Flavonoids in Sophora flavescens var. angustifolia Plants
A histochemical analysis was carried out on the distribution of flavonoid derivatives in Sophora flavescens var. angustifolia plant. Prenylated flavonoids such as kushenol I, kurarinone, sophoraflavanone G and des-O-methylanhydroicaritin were mainly localized in the peri derm (cork layers, and cork layer-like tissues scattered in parenchymatous tissues of the root system). Pterocarpan derivati...
متن کاملTyrosinase inhibitory prenylated flavonoids from Sophora flavescens.
For the purpose of the development of a skin-whitening agent, Sophora flavescens was evaluated for tyrosinase inhibitory activity and its active principles were identified following activity-guided isolation. The ethanol extract and dichloromethane fraction from S. flavescens showed significant inhibition of mushroom tyrosinase. From the dichloromethane fraction, three known prenylated flavonoi...
متن کاملInhibitory effects of kurarinol, kuraridinol, and trifolirhizin from Sophora flavescens on tyrosinase and melanin synthesis.
Previously, it was reported that some prenylated flavonoids contained in the dichloromethane fraction of the ethanolic extract of Sophora flavescens, such as kuraridin, sophoraflavanone G, kurarinone, and kushenol F, are tyrosinase inhibitors; however, based on the level of these inhibitors in the extract, its inhibitory effect on tyrosinase activity was higher than expected. This has led us to...
متن کاملDietary apigenin potentiates the inhibitory effect of interferon-α on cancer cell viability through inhibition of 26S proteasome-mediated interferon receptor degradation
BACKGROUND Type I interferons (IFN-α/β) have broad and potent immunoregulatory and antiproliferative activities. However, it is still known whether the dietary flavonoids exhibit their antiviral and anticancer properties by modulating the function of type I IFNs. OBJECTIVE This study aimed at determining the role of apigenin, a dietary plant flavonoid abundant in common fruits and vegetables,...
