The cDNA encoding ornithine decarboxylase (ODC; EC 4.1.1.17), a key enzyme in putrescine and polyamine biosynthesis, has been cloned from Nicotiana glutinosa (GenBank AF 323910), and was expressed in Escherichia coli. The amino acid sequence of N. glutinosa ODC showed 90% identity with Datura
Cells of Nicotiana tabacum L. cv. Wisconsin 38 were immobilized on poly (2,6-dimethyl)-p-phenyleneoxide in powder form (Sorfix) coated with poly-L-lysine (molecular weight 40 000 daltons). The dependence of cell immobilization on the amount of bound polyL-lysine was estimated.
A technique which allows determination of solute pool concentrations in the cytosol was developed exploiting the interaction between a polycation and the anionic sites of the plasmalemma. It was shown that treatment of Nicotiana tabacum, cv Xanthi, cells in suspension culture with an appropriate
Microbial secondary metabolites produced by Streptomyces are applied to control plant diseases. ε-poly-l-lysine (ε-PL) is a non-toxic food preservative, but the potential application of ε-PL as a microbial fungicide in agriculture has rarely been reported. In this study, Alternaria alternata (A.
Cortical microtubules (MTs) in protoplasts prepared from tobacco (Nicotiana tabacum L.) BY-2 cells were found to be sensitive to cold. However, as the protoplasts regenerated cell walls they became resistant to cold, indicating that the cell wall stabilizes cortical MTs against the effects of cold.
Plant cells of tobacco (Nicotiana tabacum L.) were grown for several generations in suspension cultures. Cells were immobilized in continuous bioreactors in calcium alginate (Ca Alg) beads or in poly-L-lysine (PLL) encapsulated calcium alginatehydrogels. In each case, the cells were fed continuously
A procedure is described for the detection of lettuce necrotic yellows virus (LNYV) nucleocapsid protein (N) or envelope glycoprotein (G) by immuno-blotting with their respective monoclonal antibodies. The antigens can be detected in 1-10 mg of fresh tissue from systemically infected Nicotiana
After a 5-hour incubation of protoplasts of Nicotiana tabacum L. ;Xanthi' with (3)H-DNA (7.26 mug/ml) from N. tabacum L. ;Xanthi nc' 3.5% of the initial radioactivity was found in acid-insoluble substances of the protoplasts. The addition of DEAE-dextran and poly-l-lysine to the incubation medium
DHDPS is the first enzyme unique to the lysine biosynthetic pathway in plants and bacteria and catalyses the formation of (4S)-4-hydroxy-2,3,4,5-tetrahydro-(2S)-dipicolinic acid. It is feedback-regulated in plants by L-lysine. The crystal structure of Nicotiana sylvestris DHDPS with and without
The sulfur requirements of tobacco (Nicotiana tabacum L. var. Xanthi) XD cells grown in chemically defined liquid media can be satisfied by sulfate, thiosulfate, l-cyst(e)ine, l-methionine or glutathione, and somewhat less effectively by d-cyst (e) ine, d-methionine or dl-homocyst (e)ine. Sulfate
Lysine decarboxylase (LDC) catalyzes the first-step in the biosynthetic pathway of quinolizidine alkaloids (QAs), which form a distinct, large family of plant alkaloids. A cDNA of lysine/ornithine decarboxylase (L/ODC) was isolated by differential transcript screening in QA-producing and
