Ferredoxin-dependent glutamate synthase (Fd-GOGAT, EC 1.4.7.1) was purified to electrophoretic homogeneity from leaves of tobacco (Nicotiana tabacum L.). The holoenzyme is a monomeric flavoprotein with a molecular weight of 164 kDa. Polyclonal rabbit antibodies against the purified enzyme were used to isolate a 450-bp Fd-GOGAT cDNA clone (C16) from a tobacco gt11 expression library. A longer Fd-GOGAT cDNA clone (C35) encoding about 70% of the amino acids of tobacco Fd-GOGAT was isolated from a tobacco gt10 cDNA library using C16 as the probe. The amino-acid sequence of the protein encoded by the Fd-GOGAT cDNA clone C35 was delineated. It is very likely that Fd-GOGAT is encoded by two genes in the amphidiploid genome of tobacco while only a single Fd-GOGAT gene appears to be present in the diploid genome of Nicotiana sylvestris. Two Fd-GOGAT isoenzymes could be distinguished in extracts of tobacco leaf protein. In contrast, a single Fd-GOGAT protein species was detected in leaves of Nicotiana sylvestris speg. et Comes. In tobacco leaves, the 6-kb Fd-GOGAT mRNA is about 50-fold less abundant than chloroplastic glutamine synthetase (EC 6.3.1.2) mRNA. Both Fd-GOGAT mRNA and Fd-GOGAT protein accumulated during greening of etiolated tobacco leaves, and a concomitant increase in Fd-GOGAT activity was observed. These results indicate that tobacco Fd-GOGAT gene expression is light-inducible. Levels of Fd-GOGAT mRNA in tobacco organs other than leaves were below the detection limit of our Northern-blot analysis. Polypeptides of Fd-GOGAT were present in tobacco leaves and, to a lesser extent, in pistils and anthers, but not in corollas, stems and roots. These results support organ specificity in tobacco Fd-GOGAT gene expression.Abbreviations bp

In tobacco, the two enzymes of nitrogen metabolism, cytosolic glutamine synthetase (GS1; E.C.6.3.1.2) and glutamate dehydrogenase (GDH; E.C.1.4.1.2), are induced during leaf senescence, whereas the chloroplastic glutamine synthetase (GS2; E.C.6.3.1.2) and nitrate reductase (NR; E.C.1.6.1.1) are repressed in the course of ageing. In this report, we showed in discs of fully expanded Nicotiana tabacum L. cv. Xanthi leaves that sucrose (Suc) and amino acids were involved in the regulation of the expression of GS1 and GDH genes. Suc induced the expression of GS1 and repressed that of GDH. Therefore, we concluded that in response to Suc, GS1 behaved as an early Senescence Associated Gene (SAG), whereas GDH behaved as a late SAG. Moreover, amino acids induced the expression of both genes. Among the amino acids tested as signal molecules, proline (Pro) and glutamate (Glu) were major inducers of GDH and GS1 expression, respectively. Interestingly, an opposite regulation of GS1 and GS2 by Pro and Glu was shown. The contrary effect of Suc on NIA (NR encoding gene) and GDH mRNA accumulation was also emphasized. 相似文献
