Characterization of recombinant dihydrodipicolinate synthase from the bread wheat Triticum aestivum

Abstract: Recombinant wheat DHDPS was produced for the first time in milligram quantities and shown to be an enzymatically active tetramer in solution using analytical ultracentrifugation and small angle X-ray scattering. Wheat is an important cereal crop with an extensive role in global food supply. Given our rapidly growing population, strategies to increase the nutritional value and production of bread wheat are of major significance in agricultural science to satisfy our dietary requirements. Lysine is one of the mo… Show more

“…4B). The IC 50 reported for AtDHDPS2 is similar to that observed for other plant DHDPS enzymes (10–50 µ m ) [28,29], while AtDHDPS1 displays a much tighter affinity for the allosteric regulator. These data confirm previous speculation that these two isoforms differ in allosteric regulation [21,36].…”

“…The construct was subsequently commercially synthesised by Bioneer Pacific (Kew East, VIC, Australia) and ligated into pET11a (Merck, Bayswater, VIC, Australia) using BamHI and EcoRI restriction sites, before transformation into Escherichia coli BL21 (DE3) cells. The plasmid pET151/D‐Topo harbouring dapA2 was co‐transformed with pACYC184, containing the GroEL/ES chaperones, into E. coli BL21 (DE3) cells [28]. Expression was carried out by culturing transformed cells in Luria–Bertani media, containing 100 µg·mL −1 of ampicillin, at 25 °C with agitation (160 r.p.m.)…”

“…Furthermore, the high degree of conservation of DHDPR enzymes across plant species suggests that the specificity of these compounds for weeds is unlikely (Supplementary Figure S5). 31 Directed evolution experiments would therefore be of interest to identify mutations which may be used to engineer crops resistant to DHDPR active site inhibitors. Identifying such mutations would also facilitate the monitoring of weed populations for the emergence of resistance so that early intervention strategies may be implemented.…”

“…Sedimentation velocity experiments were performed in a XL-A analytical ultracentrifuge (Beckman Coulter) using an 8-hole An50-Ti rotor and double-sector cells containing synthetic quartz windows as previously described [66][67][68]. Cells were loaded with 380 µL of protein diluted in 1× PBS (pH 7.4) supplemented with 1 mM CaCl 2 and 0.5 mM MgCl 2 and 400 µL of reference solution.…”
