Two isoforms of glutamine synthetase (EC 6.3.1.2), cytoplasmic (GSi) and chloroplastic (GSi) were isolated from shoots of 14-day-old Triticale seedlings, and purified 260-fold and 248-fold, respectively. Specific activities of the two preparations were 35.1 and 33.5 nmol x min-1 per mg of protein, respectively. Both crude extracts and homogeneous GSi and GS2 preparations required divalent metal ions (Mg2+, Mn2+, Co2+) for their activities. Mg2+ was the most effective activator, the highest activity of GSi being reached at 5 mM, and that of GS2 at 20 mM MgCl2- The optimum pH for the two isoforms showed large differences, dependent also on the kind of divalent ion. Molecular masses of GSi and GS2 were 305000 Da and 385200 Da, respectively. It seems that native protein of GSi is built from eight identical subunits of Mm 38000 Da and that of GS2 of the same number of subunits but of Mm of about 48000 Da. Proteins of GS isoforms differed significantly in their amino-acid composition.
In this paper the complete cDNA sequence of a newly identified triticale phytocystatin, TrcC-7, was analyzed. Because TrcC-7 transcripts were present in seeds, we hypothesized that it may regulate storage protein accumulation and degradation. Therefore, changes in mRNA and protein levels during the entire period of seed development and germination were examined. Expression of TrcC-7 increased during development and decreased at the end of maturation and subsequently increased during seed germination. Based on these results, TrcC-7 likely regulates cysteine proteinase activity during the accumulation and mobilization of storage proteins.
In higher plants, glutamine synthetase (GS; EC 6.3.1.2) and glutamate dehydrogenase (GDH; EC 1.4.1.2) are the predominant enzymes in nitrogen metabolism. In this study, we cloned both the GS and GDH genes and analyzed their expression levels and variations in their activity in developing and germinating x Triticosecale (cv. Witon) kernels. The developing kernel samples were collected 3, 5, 7, 9, 13, 15, 20, 25, 30, 35, 40 and 45 days after flowering (DAF). The germinating kernel samples were collected after 8, 16, 24, 48 and 72 h of imbibition. There are two GS isoforms that are localized to different compartments: the cytosol (GS1) and the chloroplast (GS2). Five cDNAs encoding GS proteins in triticale plants were obtained using RT-PCR. We cloned the four genes encoding GS1, which we designated TsGS1-1, TsGS1-2, TsGS1-3 and TsGS1-4 and the only gene encoding GS2, which was designated TsGS2-1. We studied the changes in the enzymatic activity and the expression profiles of the GDH, GS1 and GS2 genes in both the developing and germinating seeds of triticale. Based on our results, there is likely cooperation between GDH and GS1 in the synthesis of glutamine and glutamate during the early stages of seed formation and in the scutella of kernels for up to 24 h of imbibition.
