We have isolated cDNA clones encoding cysteine synthase (CSase, EC 4.2.99.8), which catalyzes the terminal step in cysteine biosynthesis, by direct genetic complementation of a Cys- mutation in Escherichia coli with an expression library of Citrullus vulgaris (watermelon) cDNA. The library was

The responsibility of cysteine synthase (EC 4.2.99.8) from watermelon (Citrullus vulgaris) for the formation of beta-(pyrazole-1-yl)-L-alanine, a non-protein amino acid specifically accumulated in Curcubitaceae plants, was confirmed in vitro and in vivo by the cloned cDNA on expression vectors,

Serine acetyltransferase (SATase; EC 2.3.1.30), which catalyzes the reaction connecting serine and cysteine/methionine metabolism, plays a regulatory role in cysteine biosynthesis in plants. We have isolated a cDNA clone encoding SATase by direct genetic complementation of a Cys- mutation in

The plant Citrullus colocynthis, a member of the squash (Cucurbitaceae) family, has a long history in traditional medicine. Based on the ancient knowledge about the healing properties of herbal preparations, plant-derived small molecules, e.g., salicylic acid, or quinine, have been integral

The genomic clones of Sat gene encoding serine acetyltransferase (SATase), a key enzyme in cysteine biosynthesis in plants, were isolated from the genomic library of Citrullus vulgaris (watermelon). The determination of nucleotide sequence of 5.7 kilobase pair (kbp) length revealed the presence of

Urease obtained from seeds of Citrullus vulgaris fruits has been studied under three points of view: a) the effect of the urea analogs acetamide and hydroxi-urea on the enzyme kinetic b) the action of the sulfhydryl reagents and the reactivation agents on the enzyme c) the effect of X-rays and the

We have previously cloned a cDNA, designated SAT1, corresponding to a gene coding for a serine acetyltransferase (SAT) from onion (Allium cepa L.). The SAT1 locus was mapped to chromosome 7 of onion using a single-stranded conformation polymorphism (SSCP) in the 3' UTR of the gene. Northern analysis

We constructed the co-expression vector, pFK4, in which two cDNAs encoding serine acetyltransferase (SATase) and beta-(pyrazol-1-yl)-L-alanine/L-cysteine synthase (beta-PA/CSase) from Citrullus vulgaris (watermelon) were over-expressed under the transcriptional control of T7 promoter in Escherichia

The advances in molecular genetics and biotechnology in the field of medicinal plant research are discussed with focusing on the works using transgenic plants. Differentiated organ cultures and transgenic teratomas, incited by the infection with mutants of Agrobacterium Ti and Ri plasmids, were
