S-adenosylmethionine (SAM) synthetase catalyzes the synthesis of SAM, a molecule important for all cellular organisms. It is also considered to play an important role in salt tolerance of plants. Here, we cloned a Lycoris radiata (L. radiata) SAM synthetase gene LrSAMS to determine its biological
S-Adenosylmethionine serves as a methyl group donor in numerous transmethylation reactions and plays a role in the biosynthesis of polyamines and ethylene. We have cloned and sequenced an S-adenosylmethionine synthetase gene (sam-1) of Arabidopsis thaliana. The deduced polypeptide sequence of the
Transformed callus cultures of Nicotiana tabacum were generated in which the SAM-1 gene from Arabidopsis thaliana encoding S-adenosylmethionine synthetase (SAM-S), under the control of the 35S promoter, had been integrated. The presence of the SAM-1 gene was detected in all tested transformants and
The Arabidopsis thaliana sam1 gene encoding S-adenosylmethionine synthetase (EC 2.5.1.6) was transferred to flax (Linum usitatissimum) cells via Agrobacterium tumefaciens. This enzyme catalyses the conversion of methionine to S-adenosylmethionine (SAM), the major methyl group donor in living cells.
The plant, Arabidopsis thaliana, contains two S-adenosylmethionine synthetase-encoding genes (sam). Here, we analyze the structure and expression of the sam-2 gene and compare it with the previously described sam-1 gene. Northern-blot analysis using gene-specific probes shows that both sam-1 and
Using subtractive hybridization analysis, the S-adenosylmethionine decarboxylase (SAMDC) gene from Capsicum annuum was isolated and renamed CaSAMDC. We generated independent transgenic Arabidopsis (Arabidopsis thaliana) lines constitutively expressing a 35S::CaSAMDC construct. Drought tolerance was
The Arabidopsis thaliana S-Adenosylmethionine decarboxylase (AdoMetDC) cDNA (GenBank U63633) was cloned. Site-specific mutagenesis was performed to introduce mutations at the conserved cysteine Cys(50), Cys(83), and Cys(230), and lys(81) residues. In accordance with the human AdoMetDC, the C50A and
The Arabidopsis thaliana S-adenosylmethionine decarboxylase (AdoMetDC) cDNA (GenBank(TM) U63633) was cloned, and the AdoMetDC protein was expressed, purified, and characterized. The K(m) value for S-adenosylmethionine (AdoMet) is 23.1 microM and the K(i) value for methylglyoxal bis-(guanylhydrazone)
An Arabidopsis thaliana cDNA encoding an S-adenosylmethionine-sensitive threonine synthase (EC 4.2.99.2) has been isolated by functional complementation of an Escherichia coli mutant devoid of threonine synthase activity. Threonine synthase from A. thaliana was shown to be synthesized with a transit
Met-overaccumulating mutants provide a powerful genetic tool for examining both the regulation of the Met biosynthetic pathway and in vivo developmental responses of gene expression to altered Met levels. We have previously reported the identification of two Arabidopsis thaliana Met
Methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase (MTHFR) catalyzes the reduction of 5,10-methylenetetrahydrofolate to 5-methyltetrahydrofolate, used to methylate homocysteine in methionine biosynthesis. Methionine can be activated by ATP to give rise to the universal methyl donor, S-adenosylmethionine (AdoMet).
S-adenosylmethionine synthases (MATs) are responsible for production of S-adenosylmethionine, the cofactor essential for various methylation reactions, production of polyamines and phytohormone ethylene, etc. Plants have two distinct MAT types (I and II). This work presents the structural analysis
Despite much study of the role of S-adenosylmethionine (SAM) in the methylation of DNA, RNA, and proteins, and as a cofactor for a wide range of biosynthetic processes, little is known concerning the intracellular transport of this essential metabolite. Screening of the Arabidopsis (Arabidopsis
Polyamines play an important role in plant growth and development, and response to abiotic stresses. Previously, differentially expressed proteins in sugar beet M14 (BvM14) under salt stress were identified by iTRAQ-based quantitative proteomics. One of the proteins was an
CONCLUSIONS
Cotton S-adenosylmethionine decarboxylase-, rather than spermine synthase-, mediated spermine biosynthesis is required for salicylic acid- and leucine-correlated signaling in the defense response to Verticillium dahliae. Spermine (Spm) signaling is correlated with plant resistance to the
