Protein synthesis in the cotyledons of Pisum sativum L. Protein factors involved in the binding of phenylalanyl-transfer ribonucleic acid to ribosomes.

ABSTRACT: 1. Proteinaceous factors contained in a 0.5m-KCl extract of ribosomes from pea cotyledons form a ternary complex at 0 degrees C with [(14)C]phenylalanyl-tRNA and poly(U). The complex is measured by its quantitative retention on Millipore filters. 2. Complex-assembly is optimal at 5mm-Mg(2+) and is independent of GTP and ribosomes. 3. The addition of ribosomes is required to stabilize the complex at 34 degrees C. The complex binds to a puromycin-sensitive site on the ribosome. 4. Soluble factors from the 250000g supernatant of pea cotyledon form a Millipore-retainable complex dependent on GTP and ribosomes. 5. Complex-formation by soluble factors has a Mg(2+) optimum of 10-12mm and forms a puromycin-insensitive complex with ribosomes. 6. The function of the ribosomal protein factors and the supernatant fraction in initiation of protein synthesis is discussed.

RNAi knock down of ADP-glucose pyrophosphorylase (AGP) in Pisum sativum developing cotyledons

Project description:During seed growth, sugar and nitrogen compounds confer regulatory control on storage activities. Thus, seed storage production could be regulated by the supply of nutrients. In order to improve nitrogen flux into the embryo, transgenic pea lines were created where ADP-glucose pyrophosphorylase (AGP) from Pisum sativum has been repressed by RNAi approach in the seeds under control of the seed-specific LeB4 promotor (Bäumlein et al. Cis-analysis of a seed protein gene promoter: the conservative RY repeat CATGCATG within legumin box is essential for tissue-specific expression of a legumin gene. Plant J 1992 2: 233-239). The plastidial enzyme AGP catalyzes the reaction of glucose-1-phosphate and ATP to pyrophosphate and ADP-glucose, which is the substrate for starch synthase. The AGP activity and transcript levels were strongly decreased in three independent transgenic lines. Repression of AGP results in a wrinkled seed phenotype obviously due to transient accumulation of free sugars during maturation. Mature seeds have reduced starch content whereas the protein concentration is higher due to increased fractions of albumins and globulins. Repression of AGP interferes with storage protein metabolism and alters fluxes of nitrogen during seed growth. The influence of decreased AGP on altered gene expression in developing cotyledons was analysed using a 6k-Oligo-microarray. Ps6kOLI1 microarray hybridization were performed using three independent biological replicates of four developmental stages (20, 25, 30 and 35 DAP) from seeds of the transgenic line iAGP-3.

Aminoacyltransferase I-catalysed binding of phenylalanyl-transfer ribonucleic acid to muscle ribosomes from normal and diabetic rats.

Project description:The aminoacyltransferase I-catalysed binding of phenylalanyl-tRNA (unfractionated Escherichia coli B tRNA acylated with radioactive phenylalanine and 19 non-radioactive amino acids) to skeletal-muscle ribosomes from diabetic rats was less than that to ribosomes from normal rats when the Mg(2+) concentration was low (7.5mm); whereas just the reverse was true when the concentration of the cation was higher (15mm). Thus the Mg(2+) dependency of aminoacyltransferase I-catalysed binding of phenylalanyl-tRNA to ribosomes from normal and diabetic rats paralleled the effect of Mg(2+) concentration on synthesis of polyphenylalanine reported before. During incubation at 7.5mm-Mg(2+) phenylalanyl-tRNA was bound only to ribosomes bearing nascent peptidyl-tRNA. There are fewer such ribosomes in a preparation from the muscle of diabetic animals because diabetic animals synthesize less protein in vivo. Thus the difference in polyphenylalanine synthesis in vitro is adequately explained by the difference in enzyme-catalysed binding of phenylalanyl-tRNA to ribosomes, however, the basis of the difference in protein synthesis in vivo is still unknown.

Regulation of storage-protein synthesis in pea (Pisum sativum L.) cotyledons under conditions of sulphur deficiency.

Project description:The effects of sulphur deficiency on the expression of storage-protein genes in developing pea (Pisum sativum) cotyledons were studied. Legumin-gene transcription was decreased by S-deficiency, but not to the same extent as the decrease in the level of legumin mRNA. Vicilin-gene transcription was not significantly affected. Control of gene expression may thus occur during transcription and/or post-transcriptional events.

Purification and characterization of N-acetylglutamate 5-phosphotransferase from pea (Pisum sativum) cotyledons.

Project description:N-Acetylglutamate 5-phosphotransferase (acetylglutamate kinase, EC 2.7.2.8) has been isolated from pea (Pisum sativum) cotyledons and purified 312-fold by using heat treatment, (NH4)2SO4 fractionation, affinity chromatography on ATP--Sepharose and ion-exchange chromatography on DEAE-cellulose. This preparation was shown on polyacrylamide-gel electrophoresis to yield one band staining with Coomassie Blue. The enzyme was shown by a variety of techniques to be composed of two different kinds of subunits, of mol.wts. 43000 and 53000 respectively. These subunits are arranged to give either a dimeric or tetrameric enzyme composed of equal numbers of each type of subunit. The dimeric and tetrameric enzyme forms are thought to be interconvertible, the equilibrium between these forms being influenced by the type of ligand bound to the subunits. Kinetic studies performed on the purified enzyme, indicated a random Bi Bi type of mechanism. The enzyme displayed apparent negative co-operativity with respect to one of its substrates, N-acetylglutamate; as a result, two Km values were found for this substrate, one at 1.9 X 10(-3) M and the other at 6.2 X 10(-3) M. A single Km value for ATP was found to be 1.7 X 10(-3) M. Allosteric regulation by arginine was also shown. A model, based on the Koshland, Némethy & Filmer [(1966) Biochemistry 5, 365-385] Sequential model, which adequately describes the kinetic and structural properties of N-acetylglutamate 5-phosphotransferase, is presented.

The degradation of ribonucleic acid in the cotyledons of Pisum arvense.

Project description:1. A ribonuclease has been partially purified from the cotyledons of germinating seed of Pisum arvense. 2. The enzyme degrades ribopolynucleotides to adenosine 3'-phosphate, guanosine 3'-phosphate and the cyclic nucleotides cytidine 2',3'-phosphate and uridine 2',3'-phosphate; no resistant ;core' remains. 3. The activity of RNA-degrading enzymes in the cotyledons increases to a maximum during the first 5 days of germination, passes through a minimum around the eighth day, and thereafter increases again. 4. Ion-exchange chromatography of methanol-soluble extracts of cotyledons revealed the presence, amongst other components, of the 2'-, 3'- and 5'-phosphates of cytidine and uridine, the 3'- and 5'-phosphates of adenosine, and guanosine 5'-phosphate. 5. Seed soaked in a solution containing [(32)P]orthophosphate gave a methanol-soluble fraction containing labelled nucleoside 5'-phosphates, but nucleoside 2'- and 3'-phosphates were not labelled. 6. It is believed that the nucleoside 2'- and 3'-phosphates arise by the action of ribonuclease on cotyledon RNA.

Sensomics-Assisted Aroma Decoding of Pea Protein Isolates (Pisum sativum L.).

Project description:The aroma of pea protein (Pisum sativum L.) was decrypted for knowledge-based flavor optimization of new food products containing pea protein. Sensomics helped to determine several volatiles via ultra-high performance liquid chromatography tandem mass spectrometry and 3-nitrophenylhydrazine derivatization. Among the investigated volatiles, representatives of aldehydes, ketones, and acids were reported in literature as especially important in pea and pea-related matrices. After validation of the method and quantitation of the corresponding analytes, sensory reconstitution as well as omission studies of a selected pea protein were performed and revealed nine odor-active compounds as key food odorants (3-methylbutanal, hexanal, acetaldehyde, (E,E)-2,4-nonadienal, (E)-2-octenal, benzaldehyde, heptanal, 2-methylbutanal, and nonanoic acid). Interestingly, eight out of nine compounds belonged to the chemical class of aldehydes. Statistical heatmap and cluster analysis of all odor activity values of different pea proteins confirmed the obtained sensory results and generalize these nine key food odorants in other pea proteins. The knowledge of key components gained shows potential for simplifying industrial flavor optimization of pea protein-based food.
