Cellular localization of dual positional specific maize lipoxygenase-1 in transgenic rice and calcium-mediated membrane association
The dual positional maize lipoxygenase-1 was introduced into rice and T2 transgenic plants were produced. Cellular location of maize lipoxygenase-1 in transgenic rice and effects of calcium ion on membrane association in vitro were analyzed. Localization study by confocal microscopic analysis indica...

Summary: | The dual positional maize lipoxygenase-1 was introduced into rice and T2 transgenic plants were produced. Cellular location of maize lipoxygenase-1 in transgenic rice and effects of calcium ion on membrane association in vitro were analyzed. Localization study by confocal microscopic analysis indicated that the maize lipoxygenase-1 was localized in cytoplasm. Sucrose-density fractionation experiment and in vitro protein transport to chloroplast showed that the maize lipoxygenase-1 can be associated with chloroplast. Secondary structure alignment revealed putative calcium binding sites in the PLAT domain of maize lipoxygenase-1 and the association of the maize lipoxygenase-1 with membranes was mediated by calcium ion in vitro. Our results provide evidences for calcium-mediated translocation of dual positional LOX without chloroplast targeting sequence from cytoplasm to chloroplast in plants for the first time. |
