Studies by electron-paramagnetic-resonance spectroscopy of the molybdenum centre of spinach (Spinacia oleracea) nitrate reductase.

ABSTRACT: The molybdenum centre of spinach (Spinacia oleracea) nitrate reductase has been investigated by e.p.r. spectroscopy of molybdenum(V) in reduced forms of the enzyme. The resting enzyme gives no signals attributable to Mo(V). However, on reduction with NADH, Mo(V) signals appeared at relatively short reaction times but decreased again on prolonged exposure to excess of the substrate as the enzyme was further reduced. On brief treatment of such samples with nitrate, Mo(V) signals reappeared but disappeared again on longer exposure to excess nitrate as the enzyme became fully reoxidized. Detailed investigation of the signals carried out in both 1H2O and 2H2O revealed the presence of two signal-giving species, referred to as 'signal A' and 'signal B', analogous to corresponding signals from nitrate reductase from Escherichia coli and from liver sulphite oxidase. Signal A has gav. 1.9767 and shows coupling to a single proton, exchangeable with the solvent, with A(1H)av. 1.3mT, whereas signal B shows no more than weak coupling to protons. Investigation of interconversion between the two species indicated that decreasing the pH from 8.0 to 6.7 had little effect, but that signal A was favoured by the presence of Cl-. This suggests, by analogy with recent work on sulphite oxidase by Bray, Gutteridge, Lamy & Wilkinson [Biochem. J. (1983) 211, 227-236] that Cl- is a ligand of molybdenum in the species giving signal A.

Investigation by electron paramagnetic resonance spectroscopy of the molybdenum centre of respiratory nitrate reductase from Paracoccus denitrificans.

Project description:The molybdenum centre of respiratory nitrate reductase from Paracoccus denitrificans has been investigated by e.p.r. spectroscopy of Mo(V). In common with the centres of the analogous enzymes from Escherichia coli and Pseudomonas aeruginosa, it undergoes a pH- and anion-dependent transition between two different e.p.r. signal-giving species. Comparison of the relevant e.p.r. parameters extracted with the help of computer simulations reveals ligation of the metal in the active centres of the three enzymes to be identical.

Studies by electron-paramagnetic-resonance spectroscopy of the molybdenum centre of aldehyde oxidase.

Project description:Molybdenum(V) e.p.r. spectra from reduced forms of aldehyde oxidase were obtained and compared with those from xanthine oxidase. Inhibited and Desulpho Inhibited signals from aldehyde oxidase were fully characterized, and parameters were obtained with the help of computer simulations. These differ slightly but significantly from the corresponding parameters for the xanthine oxidase signals. Rapid type 1 and type 2 and Slow signals were obtained from aldehyde oxidase, but were not fully characterized. From the general similarities of the signals from the two enzymes, it is concluded that the ligands of molybdenum must be identical and that the overall co-ordination geometries must be closely similar in the enzymes. The striking differences in substrate specificity must relate primarily to structural differences in a part of the active centre concerned with substrate binding and not involving the catalytically important molybdenum site.

Electron-paramagnetic-resonance studies on the molybdenum of nitrate reductase from Escherichia coli K12.

Project description:Studies on the respiratory nitrate reductase (EC 1.7.99.4) from Escherichia coli K12 by electron-paramagnetic-resonance spectroscopy indicate that its molybdenum centre is comparable with that in other molybdenum-containing enzymes. Two Mo(V) signals may be observed; one shows interaction of Mo(V) with a proton exchangeable with the solvent and has: A (1H) 0.9-1.2mT; g1 = 1.999; g2=1.985; g3 = 1.964; gav. = 1.983. Molybdenum of both signal-giving species may be reduced with dithionite and reoxidized with nitrate.

Oxidation--reduction midpoint potentials of the flavin, haem and Mo-pterin centres in spinach (Spinacia oleracea L.) nitrate reductase.

Project description:Oxidation-reduction midpoint potentials have been determined for the flavin, cytochrome b557 and Mo-pterin prosthetic groups of spinach (Spinacia oleracea L.) assimilatory nitrate reductase using visible, c.d. and room-temperature e.p.r. potentiometric titrations. At pH 7 and 25 degrees C, the midpoint potential for the FAD/FADH2 couple was determined by c.d. potentiometry to be -280 +/- 10 mV (n = 2). The redox potential for reduction of the haem was determined by visible potentiometry to be -123 +/- 10 mV (n = 1), significantly lower than the previously published value of -60 mV [Fido, Hewitt, Notton, Jones & Nasrulhaq-Boyce (1979) FEBS Lett. 99, 180-182]. Potentials for the Mo(VI)/Mo(V) and Mo(V)/Mo(IV) redox couples, determined by room-temperature e.p.r. potentiometry, were found to be +2 +/- 20 and -6 +/- 20 mV respectively. These values are very similar to the values previously determined for the FAD, haem and Mo-pterin centres in assimilatory nitrate reductase isolated from the unicellular green alga Chlorella vulgaris and indicate a close thermodynamic similarity between the two enzymes.

Electron-paramagnetic-resonance spectroscopy studies on the dissimilatory nitrate reductase from Pseudomonas aeruginosa.

Project description:Preparations of nitrate reductase in the resting state from Pseudomonas aeruginosa exhibit an Mo(V) e.p.r. signal. Progressive reduction of the enzyme results at first in the intensification and then in the disappearance of the signal. Three different species of Mo(V) were detected by e.p.r. These are the high-pH species (g1 = 1.9871; g2 = 1.9795; g3 = 1.9632) and nitrate and nitrite complexes of a low-pH species (respectively g1 = 2.0004; g2 = 1.9858; g3 = 1.9670; and g1 = 1.9975; g2 = 1.9848; g3 = 1.9652). These signals are closely analogous to those for the enzyme from Escherichia coli described by Vincent & Bray [(1978) Biochem. J. 171, 639-647]. Signals typical of iron-sulphur clusters were also detected. In the oxidized enzyme these are believed to arise from a [3Fe-4S] cluster (g = 2.01) and in the reduced enzyme from an unusual low-potential [4Fe-4S]+ cluster (g1 = 2.054; g2 = 1.952; g3 = 1.878). The iron-sulphur centres were also studied in a 'high-catalytic-activity' form of the enzyme. Reduction with Na2S2O4 resulted in the formation of a complex signal with g values at 2.054, 1.952, 1.928, 1.903 and 1.878. The signal could be deconvoluted by reductive titration of the enzyme into two species (g1 = 2.054; g2 = 1.952; g3 = 1.878; and g1 = 2.036; g2 = 1.928; g3 = 1.903). The degradation of a [4Fe-4S] into a [3Fe-4S] cluster in the enzyme is suggested by these studies, the process being dependent on the method used to purify the enzyme. The addition of nitrate to the reduced enzyme results in the oxidation of Mo(IV) to Mo(V) and of all the iron-sulphur centres.

The complete mitochondrial genome sequence of spinach, <i>Spinacia oleracea</i> L.

Project description:Spinach (Spinacia oleracea L.) is an economically important vegetable crop. Here we describe the complete mitochondrial DNA sequence of spinach, which has a length of 329,613 bp and a GC content of 43.4%. It is separated by a pair of directly repeated elements of 7286 bp, to form a large single copy region of 229,375 bp and a small single copy region of 85,666 bp. The genome contains 29 protein-coding genes, 4 pseudogenes, 24 tRNA genes, and 3 rRNA genes. A phylogenetic analysis revealed that spinach was closely related to Beta vulgaris (sugar beet), both belonging to the Amaranthaceae family.

Heat-induced alternations in proteomic and transcriptomic profiles of spinach (Spinacia oleracea)

Project description:Spinach (Spinacia oleracea L.) is an economically important and globally consumed popular leafy vegetable that is heat-sensitive. Heat stress caused by global climate change is one of the primary deleterious elements limiting spinach production worldwide. Little work has been done to explore the heat-responsive mechanisms of spinach under high temperature-induced stress. In the present study, we used iTRAQ-based proteomic and transcriptomic approaches to investigate physiological, metabolic, and proteomic responses of spinach in response to day / night temperature of 35°C / 25°C compared to 20°C / 15°C for 4 days. A total of 3,543 differentially expressed genes (DEGs) were detected using transcriptome sequencing, of which 2,086 DEGs were downregulated and 1,457 were upregulated. The DEGs were mainly involved in superoxide dismutase activity, catalase, and peroxidase activity. A total of 3,246 differentially abundant proteins were detected using iTAQ-based quantitative proteomic approach, from which 567 differentially expressed proteins (DEPs) (277 upregulated and 290 downregulated) were identified. DEPs were mainly assigned to pathways related to metabolism, signal transduction, protein degradation, defense, and antioxidant. Four genes - superoxide dismutase (SOD, LOC110788339), catalase (CAT, LOC110790286), peroxidase (POD, LOC110775253), and heat shock protein (HSP, LOC110799288) - were validated using quantitative real-time PCR (qRT-PCR) to verify the proteomic and transcriptomic analyses, showing different transcriptional and translational expression levels. The findings of this study provide a fundamental understanding of the metabolic pathways and biological processes that control adaptation to heat stress in spinach, and provide novel insight into the development of heat-tolerant spinach.

Stromal protein phosphorylation in spinach (Spinacia oleracea) chloroplasts.

Project description:When intact spinach chloroplasts were supplied with [32P]Pi, stromal protein phosphorylation was found to occur in the dark. On illumination the thylakoid protein kinase was activated and the amount of label found in thylakoid proteins quickly exceeded that incorporated into stromal protein, such that the latter was found to account for only 10-15% of the total radioactivity bound to chloroplast proteins after 5 min illumination. The rate of phosphorylation of stromal polypeptides was unchanged by light. After SDS/polyacrylamide-gel electrophoresis, more than 15 labelled polypeptides of stromal origin were observed. A polypeptide with an Mr of approx. 70 000 had the highest specific activity of labelling. Both the large and small subunits of the ribulose-1,5-bisphosphate carboxylase were phosphorylated. The level of phosphorylation of stromal protein was increased by CO2 fixation in intact chloroplasts. This increase was not observed in the absence of NaHCO3 or in the presence of the phosphoribulokinase inhibitor DL-glyceraldehyde. These effects appeared to be largely due to changes in the phosphorylation state of the large and small subunits of ribulose-1,5-bisphosphate carboxylase. Studies with the reconstituted chloroplast system showed that the thylakoid protein kinase(s) played no part in the phosphorylation of stromal protein. The rate and level of phosphorylation of stromal protein was unaffected by the activation state of the thylakoid protein kinase and was unchanged when thylakoids were omitted from the reaction medium. The phosphorylation of stromal proteins is therefore catalysed by a discrete soluble protein kinase.

Minor alleles are associated with white rust (Albugo occidentalis) susceptibility in spinach (Spinacia oleracea).

Project description:Minor alleles (MA) have been associated with disease incidence in human studies, enabling the identification of diagnostic risk factors for various diseases. However, allelic mapping has rarely been performed in plant systems. The goal of this study was to determine whether a difference in MA prevalence is a strong enough risk factor to indicate a likely significant difference in disease resistance against white rust (WR; Albugo occidentalis) in spinach (Spinacia oleracea). We used WR disease severity ratings (WR-DSRs) in a diversity panel of 267 spinach accessions to define resistant- and susceptibility-associated groups within the distribution scores and then tested the single-nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) variants to interrogate the MA prevalence in the most susceptible (MS) vs. most resistant (MR) individuals using permutation-based allelic association tests. A total of 448 minor alleles associated with WR severity were identified in the comparison between the 25% MS and the 25% MR accessions, while the MA were generally similar between the two halves of the interquartile range. The minor alleles in the MS group were distributed across all six chromosomes and made up ~71% of the markers that were also strongly associated with WR in parallel performed genome-wide association study. These results indicate that susceptibility may be highly determined by the disproportionate overrepresentation of minor alleles, which could be used to select for resistant plants. Furthermore, by focusing on the distribution tails, allelic mapping could be used to identify plant markers associated with quantitative traits on the most informative segments of the phenotypic distribution.
