Cloned(Commentary)

Cloned (Comment) Organism
DNA and amino acid sequence determination and analysis, overexpression in Escherichia coli resulting in the increased accumulation of glycine and L-serine. Choline and glycine betaine levels are also significantly increased. Under high salinity, the growth rate of ApSHMT-expressing cells is faster compared to its respective control Aphanothece halophytica

Expression

Organism Comment Expression
Aphanothece halophytica high salinity also strongly induces the transcript level of ApSHMT in Aphanothece halophytica up

General Information

General Information Comment Organism
additional information amino acid residues important for the structure and function of SHMT are Y56, D202, and K231 for the interaction with pyridoxal 5'-phosphate, R64 and D73 for inter-subunit interaction, H127 for cofactor binding, and P258 and R363 for substrate interaction Aphanothece halophytica
physiological function salt-induced ApSHMT increases the level of glycine betaine via L-serine and choline and confers tolerance to salinity stress Aphanothece halophytica
