Arabidopsis thaliana NAPHP thioredoxin reductase. cDNA characterization and expression of the recombinant protein in Escherichia coli.

Abstract:

:Using a clone characterized in the course of a random sequencing programme of Arabidopsis thaliana, two cDNAs encoding plant type cytosolic NADPH-dependent thioredoxin reductase (NTR) have been isolated. Their sequence homology with Escherichia coli NRT (the only thioredoxin reductase of known primary structure) is about 45%. In addition, analysis of the sequence of the encoded polypeptide (333 amino acids) reveals that several motifs are conserved in the FAD, central and NADPH binding domains, suggesting a similar folding of the protein. Definitive proof that the clone ATTHIREDB indeed encodes NTR was obtained by expressing the recombinant protein in E. coli cells. It was observed that plant type NTR was strongly overproduced (about 10 mg homogeneous protein could be purified per liter of culture). The recombinant enzyme is homodimeric, each subunit containing an FAD prosthetic group. Recombinant plant type NTR is as effective as E. coli NTR in the DTNB (5,5'-dithiobis nitrobenzoic acid) reduction reaction, but its affinity for thioredoxin substrates was strikingly different. These results are discussed in relation to the primary structures of NADPH thioredoxin reductases.

  • Exploring the regulation of tRNA distribution on the genomic scale.

    abstract::Though up to 20% of the total RNA in bacterial cells is tRNA, the regulation of tRNA distribution on the genomic level remains unclear. tRNA distribution is governed by four processes: transcription, processing of precursor tRNA, degradation of precursor tRNA and degradation of mature tRNA. To elucidate the relationsh...
