threonine/トウモロコシ

Chymotryptic digestion of a threonine-rich hydroxyproline-rich glycoprotein (THRGP) purified from the cell surface of a Zea mays cell suspension culture gave a peptide map dominated by the hexadecapeptide TC5: Thr-Hyp-Ser-Hyp-Lys-Pro-Hyp-Thr-Pro-Lys-Pro-Thr-Hyp-Hyp-Thr-Tyr, in which the repetitive

Molecular structure of a gene, ZmSTPK1, encoding a serine/threonine protein kinase in maize was analyzed by bioinformatic tool and its expression pattern was studied under chemical biological fertilizers. Bioinformatic analysis cleared that ZmSTPK1 is located on chromosome 10, from position

A novel yellow-pigmented, aerobic, rod-shaped, non-motile bacterium, designated strain CCMF41T, was isolated from rhizosphere soil of maize (Zea mays) collected in Wufeng District, Taichung, Taiwan. Strain CC-MF41T exhibited 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity of 97.5, 97.3, 97.2 and 97.1% to

Growth and protein status were examined in Thoroughbred foals and yearlings offered pasture supplements with different crude protein contents and amino acid compositions. Both supplements contained 3.0 Mcal/kg DM, 10% corn oil, 1.4% calcium, and three sources of fiber. The control supplement

Aspartate kinase (AK; EC 2.7.2.A) catalyzes the first reaction in the biosynthesis pathway for aspartate-derived amino acids in plants. Aspartate kinase was purified from wildtype and two maize (Zea mays L.) genotypes carrying unlinked dominant mutations,Ask LT19 andAsk2 -LT20, that conferred

The activity and allosteric properties of plant phosphoenolpyruvate carboxylase (PEPC; EC 4.1.1.31) are controlled posttranslationally by specific reversible phosphorylation of a strictly conserved serine residue near the N-terminus. This up/down-regulation of PEPC is catalyzed by a dedicated and

Regenerable maize (Zea mays L.) tissue cultures were selected for ability to grow in the presence of inhibitory (1.0-1.5 mM) concentrations of L-lysine plus L-threonine. Testcross kernels from one regenerated plant (LT20) segregated for wild-type and high free threonine concentration in a 1∶1 ratio

The aspartate-derived amino-acid pathway leads to the production of the essential amino-acids lysine, methionine, threonine and isoleucine. Aspartate kinase (AK) is the first enzyme in this pathway and exists in isoforms that are feedback inhibited by lysine and threonine. Two maize (Zea mays L.)

Carbon-13 nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy has been applied to the direct observation of acetate and pyruvate metabolism in suspension cultures of Zea mays (var Black Mexican Sweet). Growth of the corn cells in the presence of 2 millimolar [2-(13)C]acetate resulted in a rapid uptake of

N-terminus amino acid analysis of purified corn (Zea mays) NADP malate dehydrogenase showed that the mature protein begins at serine-41 of the preprotein sequence and not threonine-58 as previously concluded; therefore, the transit peptide consists of 40 amino acids. The theoretical molecular weight

Graminaceous monocots generally contain low levels of hydroxyproline-rich Glycoproteins (HRGPs). As HRGPs are often at the cell surface, we used the intact cell elution technique (100 millimolar AlCl(3)) to isolate soluble surface proteins from Zea mays cell suspension cultures. Further

Mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) cascades have been shown to be important components in abscisic acid (ABA) signal transduction pathway. In this study, a 46 kDa MAPK (p46MAPK) induced by ABA was partially purified from maize (Zea mays) by Q-Sepharose FF, Phenyl-Sepharose FF, Resource Q, Mono

Earlier we isolated a threonine-rich extensin from maize (Zea mays). Here, we report that maize cell suspension cultures yield a new extensin rich in histidine (HHRGP) that also has characteristics of arabinogalactan proteins (AGPs). Thus, chymotryptic peptide maps of anhydrous hydrogen fluoride

A cDNA clone (cNPK15) was isolated from tobacco cells in suspension culture, which encodes a predicted protein kinase of 422 amino acids. The predicted NPK15 protein consists of a hydrophobic region near the amino-terminus, a linker domain and the catalytic domain of a protein-serine/threonine

BACKGROUND The tomato kinase Pto confers resistance to bacterial speck disease caused by Pseudomonas syringae pv. tomato in a gene for gene manner. Upon recognition of specific avirulence factors the Pto kinase activates multiple signal transduction pathways culminating in induction of pathogen
