    Notes: Degenerate oligonucleotide primers based on the amino acid sequences of gibberellin (GA) 20-oxidases from pumpkin and Arabidopsis were used in nested polymerase chain reactions to generate an internal cDNA fragment from rice (Oryza satiya L.) seedlings. Using this fragment as a probe, a full-length cDNA (pOs20ox) was isolated from a cDNA library constructed from rice seedlings. The deduced amino acid sequence of Os20ox showed good identity (42–55%) with the GA 20-oxidases from pumpkin and Arabidopsis. Recombinant Os20ox protein, produced in Escherichia coli, catalyzed the conversion of GA12 and GA53 to GA9 and GA20, respectively. In contrast to the enzyme from immature pumpkin seeds, the recombinant rice GA 20-oxidase did not produce the tricarboxylic acids GA25 and GA17 from GA12 and GA53, respectively. The conversion rate of GA53 was higher than that of GA12. which is consistent with the relatively high abundance of 13-hydroxylated GAs in rice seedlings. Os20ox mRNA accumulated at higher levels in seedlings of two GA-deficient dwarf mutants than in normal plants. Treatment with uniconazole-P. an inhibitor of GA biosynthesis, increased abundance of the mRNA, while exogenously applied GA3 decreased it. These results suggest that the expression of the Os20ox gene is regulated by the level of physiologically active GA.

    Notes: Abstract Mutagenesis in vitro of the gene encoding the large subunit of ribulose-1,5-bisphosphate carboxylase/ oxygenase (EC 4.1.1.39) from Anacystis nidulans was used to generate novel enzymes. Two conserved residues, threonine 4 and lysine 11 in the N-terminus were changed. The substitution of threonine 4 with serine or valine had little effect on the kinetic parameters. The substitution of lysine 11 with leucine, which is non-polar, increased the K m for ribulose-1,5-bisphosphate from 82 to 190 μM but its replacement with glutamine, which has polar properties, had no appreciable effect.

    Notes: Abstract A functional analysis of the promoter from the wheat α-amylase gene α-Amy2/54 is described. Mutant α-Amy2/54 promoters containing replacements or deletions were constructed and their ability to direct expression of the reporter gene β-glucuronidase (GUS) in gibberellin-responsive oat aleurone protoplasts analysed. Chimaeric promoters using regions of the cauliflower mosaic virus (CaMV) 35S and α-Amy2/54 promoters were also analysed. The results suggest that at least three regions within the α-Amy2/54 promoter contain cis elements that are necessary for high-level gibberellin-regulated transcription. Fusion of 1.8 kb of promoter sequence upstream from −117 bp to a minimal (−55 CaMV 35S) promoter gave rise to hormone-independent expression implying that the region 3′ to −117 bp contains an element which represses transcription in the absence of gibberellin or presence of abscisic acid.
