amylase/oryza sativa

Four putative β-amylase genes found in the Oryza sativa cDNA sequence database (KOME) were expressed in Escherichia coli. Recombinant proteins from two of these genes showed β-amylase activity. Similarly to β-amylases from other plants, the optimum pH of the recombinant rice β-amylases was about

The effects of Vanillic Acid (VA) on germination, seedling and adult plant of rice (Oryza sativa L.) were investigated. Four cultivars, traditional (Taroom mahalli and Taroom deilamani) and improved (Shafagh and Onda) were studied. For germination, seeds were sterilized and then placed on Petri dish

AmyI-1 is an α-amylase from Oryza sativa (rice) and plays a crucial role in degrading starch in various tissues and at various growth stages. This enzyme is a glycoprotein with an N-glycosylated carbohydrate chain, a unique characteristic among plant α-amylases. In this study, we report the first

We have studied the effects of neomycin, a potent inhibitor of inositol phospholipid-specific phospholipase C (PLC), on the germination of rice seed and the gibberellin-induced expression of alpha-amylase in the aleurone layer and the scutellar tissues. It was shown that, in the absence of exogenous

A 20 kDa bifunctional inhibitor of the microbial proteinase, subtilisin, and the alpha-amylase from the larvae of the red flour beetle (Tribolium castaneum) was purified from bran of rice seeds by saline extraction, precipitation with ammonium sulphate, ion-exchange chromatography on DEAE-Cellulose

Expression of two genes in the alpha-amylase gene family is controlled by metabolic regulation in rice cultured cells. The levels of RAmy3D and RAmy3E mRNAs in rice cultured cells are inversely related to the concentration of sugar in the culture medium. Other genes in the rice alpha-amylase gene

Two cDNA clones, pOS103 and pOS137, were isolated which code for distinct alpha-amylase isozymes in germinating rice seeds. Sequence analysis indicated that the clones encode polypeptides of approximately 48 kDa, both of which possess a signal peptide involved in directing secretion of the protein.

Rice bifunctional alpha-amylase/subtilisin inhibitor (RASI) can inhibit both alpha-amylase from larvae of the red flour beetle (Tribolium castaneum) and subtilisin from Bacillus subtilis. The synthesis of RASI is up-regulated during the late milky stage in developing seeds. The 8.9 kDa

The pattern of expression for the entire alpha-amylase gene family in rice vegetative tissues during the developmental growth stages has been studied. We were surprised that the size of rice alpha-amylase mRNAs in the young roots, shoots, and different tissues from adult plant was shorter by

Genes for α-amylase, alcohol dehydrogenase, andEm, an ABA-regulated gene expressed late in embryogenesis, were localized on rice chromosomes by the analysis of primary trisomies. The validity of the mapping approach was confirmed usingAdh-1 as a control. TheAdh-1 gene has previously been assigned to

This research screened for α-amylase inhibitory activity of twenties-five varieties Thai indigenous rice seeds. Based on specific inhibition, crude protein of var. Gai Ngaw (Gs. No. 13719) was selected for purification. The unbound proteins of the Q-Sepharose column named partially purified rice

The gene encoding rice alpha-amylase in Oryza sativa was expressed in the yeast Yarrowia lipolytica, which is a potential host system for heterologous protein expression. For efficient secretion, the strong and inducible XPR2 promoter was used in the construction of four kinds of expression vectors

The well-characterized secretory glycoprotein, rice (Oryza sativa) alpha-amylase isoform I-1 (AmyI-1), was localized within the plastids and proved to be involved in the degradation of starch granules in the organelles of rice cells. In addition, a large portion of transiently expressed AmyI-1 fused
