Abstract:

The NAD(P)-malic enzyme (NAD(P)-ME) found in many metabolic pathways catalyzes the oxidative decarboxylation of L-malate, which results in producing pyruvate, CO2 and NAD(P)H. In C4 plants, NAD(P)-ME plays a key role in photosynthetic carbon fixation. This study was aimed to characterize the AhNAD-ME in dicotyledonous C4 Amaranthus hypochondriacus by sequence analysis, examine the expression patterns of AhNAD-ME gene in different tissues and different durations of illumination time, and construct a recombinant plasmid pEASY-E1 harboring the AhNAD-ME cDNA and then transform the plasmid into E. coli Transette (DE3) for prokaryotic expression after IPTG induction. The result showed that AhNAD-ME contains all of the motifs required for a complete and functional malic enzyme and is localized specifically to the mitochondrial matrix.Semi-quantitative RT-PCR results showed that AhNAD-ME was constitutively expressed in all examined tissues, with different expression levels, and strongly up-regulated under light in the leaf and stem. Results of SDS-PAGE demonstrated that the specific fusion protein with an expected molecular weight was successfully expressed in E. coli transette (DE3) induced by IPTG

Key words: Amaranthus hypochondriacus, AhNAD-ME, Sequence characteristics, Expression pattern, Prokaryotic expression
