The biosynthesis of lubimin from [1-14C]isopentenyl pyrophosphate by cell-free extracts of potato tuber tissue inoculated with an elicitor preparation from Phytophthora infestans

Add time:07/19/2019    Source:sciencedirect.com

A cell-free enzyme system, which catalyses the incorporation of radiolabel from [12-14C]isopentenyl pyrophosphate into the sesquiterpenoid phytoalexin lubimin, has been prepared from tuber tissue of Solanum tuberosum inoculated with an elicitor preparation from Phytophthora infestans. Biosynthesis of lubimin is optimum at pH 7.32-7.5 and is dependent upon Mg2+ and NADPH. Lubimin labelling by cell-free enzyme system prepared from tissue 48 hr after treatment with elicitor rises rapidly to a maximum over the first 30 min of incubation and does not decline for a further 150 min. The biosynthetic capacity for lubimin in cell free extracts can be observed as early as 3 hr after inoculation of tuber tissue, and rises to a maximum at about 48 hr after treatment, declining thereafter. Lubimin labelling is inhibited by iodoacetamide, the effect of which is reversed by 3,3-dimethylallylpyrophosphate. Preliminary observations on the cell-free system show that it will also catalyse the incorporation of [2-14C]mevalonic acid into lubimin in the presence ofan ATP-generating system.
