The genes of two closely related 12-oxophytodienoic acid reductases (EC 1.3.1.42), OPR1 and OPR2, were identified on a 7079-bp-long genomic fragment from Arabidopsis thaliana (L.) Heynh. The organization of these two genes was determined and putative cis elements were identified. Promoter-beta-glucuronidase (GUS) fusions expressed in transgenic Arabidopsis thaliana and Nicotiana tabacum L. plants revealed differences in OPR-promoter-driven GUS expression in flowers. While the OPR1 promoter directed GUS expression in young seeds, the OPR2 promoter directed pollen-specific expression. Both OPR1 and OPR2, were predominantly expressed in roots. Stress treatments, like local and systemic wounding, UV-C illumination and coldness, resulted in transient changes in steady-state OPR mRNA levels, but no concurrent changes in polypeptide level or enzyme activity were detected.
在来自拟南芥(Arabidopsis thaliana (L.) Heynh.)的一段7079 bp长的基因组片段上,鉴定出了两个密切相关的12-氧代植物二烯酸还原酶(EC 1.3.1.42)的基因,即OPR1和OPR2。确定了这两个基因的结构,并鉴定出了假定的顺式元件。在转基因拟南芥和烟草植株中表达的启动子-β-葡萄糖醛酸酶(GUS)融合体揭示了OPR启动子驱动的GUS在花中的表达差异。虽然OPR1启动子指导GUS在幼嫩种子中表达,但OPR2启动子指导花粉特异性表达。OPR1和OPR2均主要在根中表达。局部和全身创伤、UV-C照射和低温等胁迫处理导致OPR mRNA稳态水平发生短暂变化,但未检测到多肽水平或酶活性的同时变化。
