    Notizen: Abstract The soluble acyl-ACP:sn-glycerol-3-phosphate acyltransferase from chloroplasts of chilling-sensitive and -resistant plants differ in their fatty acid selectivity. Enzymes from resistant plants discriminate against non-fluid palmitic acid and select oleic acid whereas the acyltransferase from sensitive plants accepts both fatty acids. To use this difference for improving plant chilling resistance by biotechnology the gene for an oleate-selective enzyme is required. Therefore, the oleate-selective enzyme from pea seedlings was purified to apparent homogeneity. Tryptic peptides of internal origin were sequenced. Polyclonal antibodies raised in rabbits were used for an immunological screening of a pea leaf cDNA expression library in λgt11. A positive clone of 1800 bp was selected showing an open reading frame which codes for 457 amino acids. The deduced amino acid sequence coincides perfectly with the tryptic sequences. A tentative assignment of the processing site was made which divides the preprotein into a mature protein of 41 kDa in accordance with experimental findings and a transit peptide of 88 amino acids. At present the comparison between a selective (pea) and an unselective (squash) acyltransferase sequence does not provide a clue for recognizing the structural differences resulting in different selectivities.

    Notizen: Abstract A plastidial membrane-bound n-6 desaturase from spinach (Spinacia oleracea) was purified from chloroplast envelope membranes by anion exchange, cation exchange and ferredoxin-affinity chromatography. The molecular mass of the protein was estimated by SDS-PAGE to be 40 kDa. The highest specific activity of the desaturase in the final preparation was 196 nmol/min per mg protein with free oleic acid as the substrate. The N-terminal amino acid sequence of the blotted protein was determined and used for the construction of a degenerated and inosine-containing oligonucleotide primer for PCR experiments with cDNA transcribed from leaf mRNA. A 3′-RACE experiment with this primer amplified a single band of 1500 bp that after sequencing showed an open reading frame of 382 amino acids corresponding to a protein of 43 kDa. The 5′ end of the cDNA was amplified by a 5′-RACE experiment and isolated as a 500 bp fragment. Sequencing of this DNA revealed an additional 65 amino acids at the N-terminus of the native protein that are attributed to a plastidial leader peptide. With appropriate primers derived from these sequences a full-length clone was amplified by PCR and sequenced. Comparison of the plastidial oleate desaturase with the homologous enzyme from cyanobacteria showed about 50% amino acid homology. Comparison with other desaturases revealed three histidine boxes with the general sequence HXXXH that are highly conserved in all membrane-bound desaturases. These boxes might be involved in metal ion complexation required for reduction of oxygen.

    Notizen: Abstract The fadD gene of Escherichia coli K12 was cloned and sequenced. The gene was identified by its ability to complement the corresponding mutant and by measuring the enzymatic activity after its expression in this mutant. The deduced polypeptide sequence exhibits similarity to other long chain acyl-CoA (coenzyme A) synthetases and a variety of other proteins, which together form a family of AMP-binding proteins. This family is extended by several new members and subdivided into four groups. fadD is assigned to a subgroup that does not include long chain acyl-CoA synthetases from eukaryotic organisms.
