Alternatively, Arg can also be decarboxlated by Arginine decarboxylase (CsADC) and was further metabolized into polyamines. The genes involved in a given amino acid biosynthetic pathway are clustered at a single chromosomal location and form an operon. For example, maize prefers to utilize NO3 nutrient over NH4+, whereas rice preferentially absorb and assimilate NH4+ in the roots. PubMed Recently, Liu et al. 3A). Therefore, these results suggested NH4+-N promotes Phe and Tyr synthesis mainly through up-regualting CsDHQ/SDH and CsPAT expression in tea plant root. In contrast, the accumulation of amino acids in Asp pathway, aromatic amino acid pathway, 3-phosphoglycerate pathway and Lea in pyruvate pathway were less responsive to 0N and N forms in tea plants under our experimental condition (Figs.

EA is likely produced from alanine under the catalysis of alanine decarboxylase15. Secondary metabolites such as alkaloids . The relative expression levels and FPKM values are shown. This characteristic of NH4+ preferring was confirmed by 15N isotope tracer studies via hydroponically grown tea plants31,33. Plant Biol. 4A; TableS4). In addition to carbohydrate and amino acid metabolism, the role of lipids and lipid metabolism in defense responses has been comprehensively studied, especially genes associated with biosynthesis of fatty acids and sphingolipids (Kachroo and Kachroo, 2009; Berkey et al., 2012). Curien, G. et al. 60, 9199 (2013). However, the molecular mechanism related to how these potential genes control amino acid metabolic flux in tea roots remains unclear. After 3 days, seedlings were transferred to 5-litre plastic bucket (5 plants per bucket) for hydroponic culture. Annu. These results suggest that the stable levels of Asp were probably caused by responses of CsAspATs and CsAKs expression under the 0N and the supply with different N forms. In this study, integrated transcriptome and metabolites (amino acids) analyses provide new insights into amino acid metabolism of tea roots. However, only a few genes involved in amino acid metabolism and genes associated with changes in amino acid accumulation have been identified in tea plants. P5, amino acids were derived from aromatic amino acid pathway consisting of Trp, Phe and Tyr. Plant Sci. . OPLS-DA analysis was performed by SIMCA 13.0 (UMETRICS, https://umetrics.com/). They include phenylketonuria (PKU) and maple syrup urine disease. For functional annotation and classification, the genes were aligned to the protein sequence database NR (http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov). Planta 249, 363376 (2019). Regulation of Pyrimidine Biosynthesis. In this study, we observed that Asp contents in tea plant roots were generally stable under the treatments (Fig. Thea standard was purchased from Sigma Chemical Company (St. Louis, MO, USA), and other amino acid standards were purchased from Waters Corporation (Milford, Massachusetts, U.S.A).Total contents of free amino acids content were calculated as the sum of each individual free amino acid. 7B, TableS9). Although CsTSI and CsGS (TEA032217.1) were also the 2nd and 3rd most highly expressed amino acid synthetic genes, their expression was relatively stable and was only induced by EA-N (Fig. Aromatic amino acids tryptophan (Trp), tyrosine (Tyr) and phenylalanine (Phe) are the products of the shikimate pathway. Google Scholar. Li, R. et al. Bot. Amino acid biosynthesis: new architectures in allosteric enzymes. Planta 250, 11111129 (2019). Therefore, 20 cDNA libraries were sequenced using the Illumina HiSeq platform. Especially, genes encoding CsAspAT, asparate kinase (CsAK) and threonine synthase (CsTHS) were more responsive to 0N and N forms, suggesting important regulatory roles of these genes in Asp pathway. Lett. (NH4++NO3)-N did not alter Phe and Tyr levels comparing with 0N and NO3-N (Fig. qRT-PCR amplification was performed using primers designed by Primer 6.0 software for targeted genes as described. Comparing with other Thea-related amino acid biosynthetic genes, CsAlaDC was more associated with Thea abundance and response to 0N and N forms. Rev. This chapter discusses aromatic amino acid biosynthesis and its regulation. The clean reads were mapped to the reference genome38. A broad spectrum of studies have shown that the preference for NO3, NH4+ and mixture of NO3+NH4+ varies considerably among plant species.
