Characterization of Two Arabidopsis L-Gulono-1,4-lactone Oxidases, AtGulLO3 and AtGulLO5, Involved in Ascorbate Biosynthesis

Abstract: L-Ascorbic acid (AsA, vitamin C) is an essential antioxidant for plants and animals. There are four known ascorbate biosynthetic pathways in plants: the L-galactose, L-gulose, D-galacturonate, and myo-inositol routes. These pathways converge into two AsA precursors: L-galactono-1,4-lactone and L-gulono-1,4-lactone (L-GulL). This work focuses on the study of L-gulono-1,4-lactone oxidase (GulLO), the enzyme that works at the intersect of the gulose and inositol pathways. Previous studies have shown that feeding … Show more

“…Increased expression of the rat (Rattus rattus L.) L-GulLO gene has increased ascorbate concentrations in a range of species, including 1.8-to 2.0-fold in Arabidopsis [56,57], 7.0-fold in lettuce [58], 2.4-fold in potato [59], 7.0-fold in tobacco [58], and 1.5-fold in tomato [60] (Table 1). However, increased expression of the Arabidopsis L-GulLOs genes in Arabidopsis did not change ascorbate concentrations [61] ( Table 1) and increased expression of the Arabidopsis L-GulLOs genes in tobacco cells only increased ascorbate concentrations when supplied with L-gulono-1,4-lactone, together suggesting that the L-gulose pathway is not a major contributor to ascorbate biosynthesis in plants [62]. Increased expression of the rat L-GulLO gene in plants has been associated with enhanced tolerance to salt, cold, heat, drought, and pyrene-and methyl viologen-induced stress [56,59,60] (Table 1).…”

“…Only after feeding high concentrations of L-gulono-1,4-lactone (10 mM) did the BY2 cells have elevated levels of AsA. Aboobucker et al (2017) also overexpressed the L-gulono-1,4-lactonase genes in Arabidopsis without any increase in AsA levels.…”

“…Three putative Arabidopsis GulLOs (AtGulLO2, 3, and 5) over-expressed in tobacco BY-2 cell cultures increased AsA after feeding with L -GulL ( Maruta et al, 2010 ). Aboobucker et al (2017) purified a recombinant Arabidopsis GulLO enzyme (AtGulLO5) in a transient expression system. They proved that AtGulLO5 is an exclusive dehydrogenase with an absolute specificity for L -GulL as substrate, thus differing from both existing plant GLDHs and mammalian GulLOs.…”
