The amino acid sequence of Phaseolus aureua L. (mung-bean) cytochrome c.

ABSTRACT: The amino acid sequence of Phaseolus aureus L. (mung-bean) cytochrome c has been determined. The molecule consists of a single polypeptide chain of 111 amino acid residues and is homologous with other mitochondrial cytochromes c. Comparison with the amino acid sequence of wheat-germ cytochrome c (Stevens, Glazer & Smith, 1967) shows 14 differences. On alignment with mammalian cytochromes c, mung-bean cytochrome c has an N-acetylated ;tail' of eight amino acid residues similar to that found in wheat-germ cytochrome c. Of the 22 positions in wheat-germ cytochrome c that contain amino acid residues unique to these positions, 20 were found to contain the same ones in mung-bean cytochrome c. The in-N-trimethyl-lysine residues reported for wheat-germ cytochrome c (Delange, Glazer & Smith, 1969) in positions 72 and 86 were also found in these positions in mung-bean cytochrome c. The sequence was determined from 3mumol, by using chymotryptic and tryptic peptides which were analysed by the ;dansyl'-Edman method (Gray & Hartley, 1963a), with confirmation by amino acid analysis.

The amino acid sequence of plastocyanin from French bean (Phaseolus vulgaris).

Project description:The amino acid sequence of the plastocyanin from French bean (Phaseolus vulgaris) was determined. The protein consists of a single polypeptide chain of 99 residues, and the sequence was determined by characterization of CNBr, tryptic, chymotryptic and thermolysin peptides. When the sequence is compared with that from the plastocyanin of the unicellular green alga Chlorella fusca, the French-bean protein shows the deletion of the N-terminal residue, a two residue insertion and 53 identical residues. Detailed evidence for the sequence of the protein has been deposited as Supplementary Publication SUP 50037 (16pp., 1 microfiche) at the British Library (Lending Division) (formerly the National Lending Library for Science and Technology), Boston Spa, Yorks. LS23 7BQ, U.K., from whom copies may be obtained on the terms given in Biochem. J. (1973) 131, 5.

The switching of electron flux from the cyanide-insensitive oxidase to the cytochrome pathway in mung-bean (Phaseolus aureus L.) mitochondria.

Project description:The activities of the mung-bean (Phaseolus aureus L.) mitochondrial cyanide-insensitive oxidase and cytochrome pathways have been measured simultaneously. The results show that electrons can be diverted both from the alternative pathway to the cytochrome pathway and from the cytochrome to the alternative pathway. The competition of the two pathways for the available electron flux is discussed.

Light-dependent cytochrome P-450 changes in mung beans (Phaseolus aureus).

Project description:Maximum concentrations of microsomal cytochrome P-450 are present in 3-4 day-old mung beans (Phaseolus aureus). On illumination of dark-grown seedlings, cytochrome P-450 and later cytochrome P-450 undergo a rapid decrease in concentration in vivo, with an apparent half-time of about 6 h. Conversely light-grown seedlings, transferred to darkness, show a slow accumulation of cytochrome P-450, doubling time of about 30 h, with a later accumulation of cytochrome P-420. Microsomal cytochromes b559, b560.5 and b562.5 do not significantly alter on light-dark transitions. Possible functions for dark-induced cytochrome P-450 are discussed.

Annotation and sequence diversity of transposable elements in common bean (Phaseolus vulgaris).

Project description:Common bean (Phaseolus vulgaris) is an important legume crop grown and consumed worldwide. With the availability of the common bean genome sequence, the next challenge is to annotate the genome and characterize functional DNA elements. Transposable elements (TEs) are the most abundant component of plant genomes and can dramatically affect genome evolution and genetic variation. Thus, it is pivotal to identify TEs in the common bean genome. In this study, we performed a genome-wide transposon annotation in common bean using a combination of homology and sequence structure-based methods. We developed a 2.12-Mb transposon database which includes 791 representative transposon sequences and is available upon request or from www.phytozome.org. Of note, nearly all transposons in the database are previously unrecognized TEs. More than 5,000 transposon-related expressed sequence tags (ESTs) were detected which indicates that some transposons may be transcriptionally active. Two Ty1-copia retrotransposon families were found to encode the envelope-like protein which has rarely been identified in plant genomes. Also, we identified an extra open reading frame (ORF) termed ORF2 from 15 Ty3-gypsy families that was located between the ORF encoding the retrotransposase and the 3'LTR. The ORF2 was in opposite transcriptional orientation to retrotransposase. Sequence homology searches and phylogenetic analysis suggested that the ORF2 may have an ancient origin, but its function is not clear. These transposon data provide a useful resource for understanding the genome organization and evolution and may be used to identify active TEs for developing transposon-tagging system in common bean and other related genomes.

Mung bean (Phaseolus aureus) nuclease. A mechanistic investigation of the DNA-cleavage reaction using a dinucleoside phosphorothioate.

Project description:Mung-bean (Phaseolus aureus) nuclease has been found to cleave the Sp diastereoisomer of 5'-O-thymidyl 3'-O-(2'-deoxyadenosyl)phosphorothioate, (Sp)-d[Ap(S)T], in 18O-labelled water with inversion of configuration at phosphorus to give (Sp)-thymidine 5'-[16O, 18O]phosphorothioate, the stereochemistry of which was deduced by methylation to (Rp,Sp)-thymidine 5'-S-methyl-O-methyl-[16O,18O]phosphorothioate and 31P-n.m.r. analysis. This result is consistent with a mechanism involving a direct 'in-line' attack of water on DNA for the nuclease-catalysed reaction without the involvement of a covalent nucleotidylated-enzyme intermediate.

Mung bean nuclease mapping of RNAs 3' end.

Project description:A method is described that allows an accurate mapping of 3' ends of RNAs. In this method a labeled DNA probe, containing the presumed 3' end of the RNA under analysis is allowed to anneals to the RNA itself. Mung-bean nuclease is then used to digest single strands of both RNA and DNA. Electrophoretic fractionation of "protected" undigested, labeled DNA is than performed using a sequence reaction of a known DNA as length marker. This procedure was applied to the analysis of both a polyA RNA (Interleukin 10 mRNA) and non polyA RNAs (sea urchin 18S and 26S rRNAs). This method might be potentially relevant for the evaluation of the role of posttrascriptional control of IL-10 in the pathogenesis of the immune and inflammatory mediated diseases associated to ageing. This might allow to develop new strategies to approach to the diagnosis and therapy of age related diseases.

Purification, characterization, and cDNA cloning of an NADPH-cytochrome P450 reductase from mung bean.

Project description:We report here the isolation and deduced amino acid sequence of the flavoprotein, NADPH-cytochrome P450 (cytochrome c) reductase (EC 1.6.2.4), associated with the microsomal fraction of etiolated mung bean seedlings (Vigna radiata var. Berken). An 1150-fold purification of the plant reductase was achieved, and SDS/PAGE showed a predominant protein band with an apparent molecular mass of approximately 82 kDa. The purified plant NADPH-P450 reductase gave a positive reaction as a glycoprotein, exhibited a typical flavoprotein visible absorbance spectrum, and contained almost equimolar quantities of FAD and FMN per mole of enzyme. Specific antibodies revealed the presence of unique epitopes distinguishing the plant and mammalian flavoproteins as demonstrated by Western blot analyses and inhibition studies. Peptide fragments from the purified plant NADPH-P450 reductase were sequenced, and degenerate primers were used in PCR amplification reactions. Overlapping cDNA clones were sequenced, and the deduced amino acid sequence of the mung bean NADPH-P450 reductase was compared with equivalent enzymes from mammalian species. Although common flavin and NADPH-binding sites are recognizable, there is only approximately 38% amino acid sequence identity. Surprisingly, the purified mung bean NADPH-P450 reductase can substitute for purified rat NADPH-P450 reductase in the reconstitution of the mammalian P450-catalyzed 17 alpha-hydroxylation of pregnenolone or progesterone.

Mesoamerican origin of the common bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) is revealed by sequence data.

Project description:Knowledge about the origins and evolution of crop species represents an important prerequisite for efficient conservation and use of existing plant materials. This study was designed to solve the ongoing debate on the origins of the common bean by investigating the nucleotide diversity at five gene loci of a large sample that represents the entire geographical distribution of the wild forms of this species. Our data clearly indicate a Mesoamerican origin of the common bean. They also strongly support the occurrence of a bottleneck during the formation of the Andean gene pool that predates the domestication, which was suggested by recent studies based on multilocus molecular markers. Furthermore, a remarkable result was the genetic structure that was seen for the Mesoamerican accessions, with the identification of four different genetic groups that have different relationships with the sets of wild accessions from the Andes and northern Peru-Ecuador. This finding implies that both of the gene pools from South America originated through different migration events from the Mesoamerican populations that were characteristic of central Mexico.

Cyanide-insensitive oxidation of ascorbate + NNN'N'-tetramethyl-p-phenylenediamine mixture by mung-bean (Phaseolus aureus) mitochondria. An energy-linked function.

Project description:Freshly prepared washed or purified mung-bean (Phaseolus aureus) mitochondria utilize oxygen with ascorbate/tetramethyl-p-phenylenediamine mixture as electron donor in the presence of KCN. ATP control of the oxygen uptake can be observed with very fresh mitochondria. The electron flow, which is inhibited by antimycin A, salicylhydroxamic acid or octylguanidine, takes place by reversed electron transport through phosphorylation site II and thence to oxygen through the cyanide-insensitive pathway. Oligomycin and low concentrations of uncoupler partially inhibit the oxygen uptake in a manner similar to that observed for other energy-linked functions of plant mitochondria. An antimycin A-insensitive oxygen uptake occurs if high concentrations of uncoupler are used, indicating that the pathway of electron flow has been altered. The process of cyanide-insensitive ascorbate oxidation is self-starting, and, since it occurs in the presence of oligomycin, it is concluded that the reaction can be energized by a single energy-conservation site associated with the cyanide-insensitive oxidase pathway.
