The syncytium is a nurse cell formed within the roots of Glycine max by the plant parasitic nematode Heterodera glycines. Its development and maintenance are essential for nematode survival. The syncytium appears to undergo two developmental phases during its maturation into a functional nurse cell.
Spermidine synthase (EC 2.5.1.16) was purified to homogeneity for the cytosol of soybean (Glycine max) axes using ammonium sulfate fractionation and chromatography on DEAE-Sephacel, Sephacryl S-300, omega-aminooctyl-Sepharose and ATPA-Sepharose. The molecular mass of the enzyme estimated by gel
S-Adenosylmethionine decarboxylase (EC 4.1.1.19) was purified to homogeneity from the cytosol of soybean (Glycine max) axes by ammonium sulfate fractionation, DEAE-Sepharose and methylglyoxalbis(guanylhydrazone)-Sepharose 6B chromatographies. The enzyme was free from diamine oxidase activity. The
A new active S-adenosylmethionine decarboxylase (EC 4.1.1.50) (SAMDC II) was extracted from soybean (Glycine max) axes. The enzyme was purified to homogeneity by ammonium sulfate fractionation, DEAE-Sepharose and methylglyoxalbis(guanylhydrazone) (MGBG)-Sepharose 6B chromatographies. The molecular
Cultured cell suspensions of both carrot (Daucus carota L.) and soybean (Glycine max) take up exogenous choline efficiently from their respective growth media. During sustained growth at a concentration near 50 micromolar choline, this compound was taken up at rates which exceeded those at which
The metabolism of S-methylmethionine has been studied in cultures of plants of Lemna paucicostata and of cells of carrot (Daucus carota) and soybean (Glycine max). In each system, radiolabeled S-methylmethionine was rapidly formed from labeled l-methionine, consistent with the action of
Several hundred soybean [Glycine max (L.) Merr.] cell lines resistant to ethionine were isolated either with or without chemical mutagenesis. of these, 26 were found to contain 2 to 22 times higher than normal levels of uncombined methionine. These 26 cell lines also contained higher than normal
Phospholipid N-methyltransferase (PLMT) enzymes catalyze the S-adenosylmethionine-dependent methylation of ethanolamine-containing phospholipids to produce the abundant membrane lipid phosphatidylcholine (PtdCho). In mammals and yeast, PLMT activities are required for the de novo synthesis of the
Cell-free extracts from Lemna and suspension cultured carrot (Daucus Carota L.) catalyze S-adenosylmethionine-dependent N-methylations of phosphoethanolamine, phosphomethylethanolamine, and phosphodimethylethanolamine; extracts of suspension cultured soybean (Glycine max), of phosphoethanolamine
