Plant purine nucleoside catabolism employs a guanosine deaminase required for the generation of xanthosine in Arabidopsis.

Only registered users can translate articles

Purine nucleotide catabolism is common to most organisms and involves a guanine deaminase to convert guanine to xanthine in animals, invertebrates, and microorganisms. Using metabolomic analysis of mutants, we demonstrate that Arabidopsis thaliana uses an alternative catabolic route employing a

Molecular analysis of "de novo" purine biosynthesis in solanaceous species and in Arabidopsis thaliana.

Only registered users can translate articles

Purine nucleotides are essential components to sustain plant growth and development. In plants they are either synthesized "de novo" during the process of purine biosynthesis or are recycled from purine bases and purine nucleosides throughout the salvage pathway. Comparison between animals,

Early Senescence in Older Leaves of Low Nitrate-Grown Atxdh1 Uncovers a Role for Purine Catabolism in N Supply.

Only registered users can translate articles

The nitrogen (N)-rich ureides allantoin and allantoate, which are products of purine catabolism, play a role in N delivery in Leguminosae. Here, we examined their role as an N source in nonlegume plants using Arabidopsis (Arabidopsis thaliana) plants mutated in XANTHINE DEHYDROGENASE1 (AtXDH1), a

Release of extracellular purines from plant roots and effect on ion fluxes.

Only registered users can translate articles

Extracellular purine nucleotides appear capable of regulating plant development, defence and stress responses by acting in part as agonists of plasma membrane calcium channels. Factors stimulating ATP release include wounding, osmotic stress and elicitors. Here we show that exogenous abscisic acid

Molecular characterization of Arabidopsis thaliana cDNAs encoding three purine biosynthetic enzymes.

Only registered users can translate articles

Glycinamide ribonucleotide (GAR) synthetase, GAR transformylase and aminoimidazole ribonucleotide (AIR) synthetase are the second, third and fifth enzymes in the 10-step de novo purine biosynthetic pathway. From a cDNA library of Arabidopsis thaliana, cDNAs encoding the above three enzymes were

The mutagenicity of azido derivatives of monosaccharides and alcohols and of N-(3-azido-2-hydroxypropyl) derivatives of purines and pyrimidines in Arabidopsis thaliana and in Salmonella typhimurium.

The azido derivatives of alcohols (3-azido-1,2-propandiol and 1,3-diazido-2-propanol) and monosaccharides (6-azido-6-deoxy-beta-D-glucose and 6-azido-6-deoxy-beta-D-galactose), as well as the proximal mutagenic product of sodium azide metabolism beta-azido-L-alanine, exhibited a high mutagenic

Structural and functional insights into (S)-ureidoglycine aminohydrolase, key enzyme of purine catabolism in Arabidopsis thaliana.

Only registered users can translate articles

The ureide pathway has recently been identified as the metabolic route of purine catabolism in plants and some bacteria. In this pathway, uric acid, which is a major product of the early stage of purine catabolism, is degraded into glyoxylate and ammonia via stepwise reactions of seven different

Isolating the Arabidopsis thaliana genes for de novo purine synthesis by suppression of Escherichia coli mutants. I. 5'-Phosphoribosyl-5-aminoimidazole synthetase.

Only registered users can translate articles

We have initiated an investigation of the de novo purine nucleotide biosynthetic pathway in the plant Arabidopsis thaliana. Functional suppression of Escherichia coli auxotrophs allowed the direct isolation of expressed Arabidopsis leaf cDNAs. Using this approach we have successfully suppressed

RNA interference-mediated suppression of xanthine dehydrogenase reveals the role of purine metabolism in drought tolerance in Arabidopsis.

Only registered users can translate articles

We have previously demonstrated that RNA interference-mediated suppression of xanthine dehydrogenase (XDH), the rate-limiting enzyme in purine degradation, causes defects in the normal growth and development of Arabidopsis thaliana. Here, we investigated a possible role for XDH in drought tolerance,

A mutation in the purine biosynthetic enzyme ATASE2 impacts high light signalling and acclimation responses in green and chlorotic sectors of Arabidopsis leaves

Only registered users can translate articles

In this report, we investigate the altered APX2 expression 13 (alx13) mutation of Arabidopsis thaliana, a mutation in glutamine phosphoribosyl pyrophosphate amidotransferase 2 (ATASE2), the primary isoform of the enzyme mediating the first committed step of purine biosynthesis. Light-dependent leaf

The ureide-degrading reactions of purine ring catabolism employ three amidohydrolases and one aminohydrolase in Arabidopsis, soybean, and rice.

Only registered users can translate articles

Several ureides are intermediates of purine base catabolism, releasing nitrogen from the purine nucleotides for reassimilation into amino acids. In some legumes like soybean (Glycine max), ureides are used for nodule-to-shoot translocation of fixed nitrogen. Four enzymes of Arabidopsis (Arabidopsis

The leaf reticulate mutant dov1 is impaired in the first step of purine metabolism.

Only registered users can translate articles

A series of reticulated Arabidopsis thaliana mutants were previously described. All mutants show a reticulate leaf pattern, namely green veins on a pale leaf lamina. They have an aberrant mesophyll structure but an intact layer of bundle sheath cells around the veins. Here, we unravel the function

De novo purine synthesis in Arabidopsis thaliana. II. The PUR7 gene encoding 5'-phosphoribosyl-4-(N-succinocarboxamide)-5-aminoimidazole synthetase is expressed in rapidly dividing tissues.

Only registered users can translate articles

The small genome size and excellent genetics of Arabidopsis, as well as the ease with which it is transformed, make it a superb candidate for molecular genetic studies of the purine biosynthetic pathway. Herein we report the isolation, physical characterization, and dissection of the expression

Concurrent profiling of indole-3-acetic acid, abscisic acid, and cytokinins and structurally related purines by high-performance-liquid-chromatography tandem electrospray mass spectrometry.

BACKGROUND Cytokinins (CKs) are a group of plant growth regulators that are involved in several plant developmental processes. Despite the breadth of knowledge surrounding CKs and their diverse functions, much remains to be discovered about the full potential of CKs, including their relationship

A new family of high-affinity transporters for adenine, cytosine, and purine derivatives in Arabidopsis.

Only registered users can translate articles

In many organisms, including plants, nucleic acid bases and derivatives such as caffeine are transported across the plasma membrane. Cytokinins, important hormones structurally related to adenine, are produced mainly in root apices, from where they are translocated to shoots to control a multitude
