摘要：

The occurrence of GS isoenzymes has been investigated in Scots pine (Pinus sylvestris) seedlings. A transient increase of glutamine synthetase (GS, EC 6.3.1.2) activity was observed in the cotyledon whorl of plants treated with the herbicide phosphinotricin (PPT). The increase in GS activity was accompanied by a parallel accumulation of GS1 protein, which remained at high levels throughout the PPT treatment. Two-dimensional SDS-PAGE western analysis showed that pine extracts contained two GS1 polypeptides which differ in their corresponding isoelectric points. Analysis of crude extracts by ion-exchange chromatography led to the separation of two GS isoforms. The first peak (GS1-a) eluted from the columns at a low ionic strength (0.15-0.18 M KCl), whereas the second one (GS1-b) was detected at 0.5 M KCl. A detailed molecular study of both GS holoenzymes confirmed that their subunits were similar in size (about 41 kDa) but different in charge. All these data clearly demonstrate the presence of two GS1 forms in Scots pine cotyledons. Moreover, a comparison of isolated GS isoproteins with the recombinantly expressed Scots pine cytosolic subunit suggests that GS1-a corresponds to the previously characterized cDNA (pGSP114) whereas GS1-b is a minor GS isoenzyme with increased relative abundance in phosphinotricin treated plants.
