Expression of Mangrove Allene Oxide Cyclase Enhances Salt Tolerance in Escherichia coli, Yeast, and Tobacco Cells

Abstract: To analyze the mechanisms of salt tolerance in the mangrove plant, Bruguiera sexangula, functional screening for cDNAs encoding proteins essential for salt tolerance was performed using Escherichia coli as the host organism. A transformant expressing a protein homologous to Lycopersicon (tomato) allene oxide cyclase (AOC) displayed enhanced salt tolerance. However, this unusual trait is not conferred by Lycopersicon AOC or its Arabidopsis homolog. Analysis of the functional region revealed a sequence of only 7… Show more

“…1B). A similar situation has been reported for the allene oxide cyclase homologue ("mangrin") from the mangrove, Bruguiera sexangula (44), wherein a stretch of 70 amino acid residues, different in its organization from the allene oxide cyclase from Arabidopsis or Lycopersicum, conferred salt tolerance to E. coli, yeast, and tobacco cells. Furthermore, whether the PINO1 gene is the only MIPS-coding gene in Porteresia or a duplicated paralogue of INO1 having a different organization has yet to be resolved.…”

“…We have chosen the enzyme MIPS, which is conserved across evolutionarily diverse taxa (4,12), produces inositol, and is known to function in varied biochemical activities and also during stress in both prokaryotic and eukaryotic organisms (3,(41)(42)(43)(44)(45). Among the 65 INO1 genes known (12), the INO1 from Archaeoglobus fulgidis (11) has been shown to code for a thermotolerant protein, the only stress-tolerant MIPS so far reported.…”
