Molecular characterization and expression analysis of a new cDNA encoding strictosidine synthase from Ophiorrhiza japonica.
    Molecular biology reports, 2009, Volume: 36, Issue:7

    A new full-length cDNA encoding strictosidine synthase (designated as OjSTR, GenBank Accession No. 1087598), which catalyzes a committed step in camptothecin biosynthetic pathway, was isolated from young leaves of Ophiorrhiza japonica for the first time. OjSTR was 1,258 bp and contained a 1,062 bp open reading frame encoding a deduced protein of 353 amino acid residues. Sequence analyses showed that OjSTR had high homology with other STRs from some TIA-producing plants. Phylogenetic tree analysis showed that OjSTR had closest relationship with STR from O. pumila. Tissue expression pattern analysis revealed that OjSTR constitutively expressed in all the tested tissues at different levels, which was high in flower, moderate in leaf and root, low in stem. Expression profiles under plant defense signals such as methyl jasmonate and salicylic acid were investigated, and the results revealed that expression of OjSTR was all induced, implying that OjSTR was high elicitor responsive.
