From a cDNA library generated from mRNA of white leaf tissues of the ribosome-deficient mutant 'albostrians' of barley (Hordeum vulgare cv. Haisa) a cDNA was isolated carrying 54.2% identity to a recently published cDNA which codes for the diadenosine-5',5'''-P1,P4-tetraphosphate (Ap4A) hydrolase of Lupinus angustifolius (Maksel et al. (1998) Biochem. J. 329, 313-319), and 69% identity to four partial peptide sequences of Ap4A hydrolase of tomato. Overexpression in Escherichia coli revealed a protein of about 19 kDa, which exhibited Ap4A hydrolase activity and cross-reactivity with an antibody raised against a purified tomato Ap4A hydrolase (Feussner et al. (1996) Z. Naturforsch. 51c, 477-486). Expression studies showed an mRNA accumulation in all organs of a barley seedling. Possible functions of Ap4A hydrolase in plants will be discussed.
从大麦(Hordeum vulgare cv. Haisa)核糖体缺陷型突变体‘albostrians’白叶组织的mRNA构建的cDNA文库中,分离出一个cDNA,它与最近发表的编码羽扇豆(Lupinus angustifolius)二腺苷-5',5'''-P1,P4-四磷酸(Ap4A)水解酶的cDNA有54.2%的同源性(Maksel等人,(1998年)《生物化学杂志》329卷,313 - 319页),与番茄Ap4A水解酶的四个部分肽序列有69%的同源性。在大肠杆菌中的过表达揭示了一种约19 kDa的蛋白质,它具有Ap4A水解酶活性,并与针对纯化的番茄Ap4A水解酶产生的抗体发生交叉反应(Feussner等人,(1996年)《自然科学杂志》51c卷,477 - 486页)。表达研究表明,大麦幼苗的所有器官中都有mRNA积累。将讨论Ap4A水解酶在植物中的可能功能。
