Purification and characterization of two sucrose synthase isoforms from Japanese pear fruit.
Tanase K., Yamaki S.
Two isoforms (SS I and SS II) of sucrose synthase (SS; EC 2.54.1.13) were purified from Japanese pear fruit and their properties were compared. SS I mainly appeared in young fruit and SS II mainly in mature fruit. SS I and SS II were purified to the specific activity of 3.37 and 4.26 (units (mg pr ... >> More
Two isoforms (SS I and SS II) of sucrose synthase (SS; EC 2.54.1.13) were purified from Japanese pear fruit and their properties were compared. SS I mainly appeared in young fruit and SS II mainly in mature fruit. SS I and SS II were purified to the specific activity of 3.37 and 4.26 (units (mg protein)(-1)), respectively. The MW of native and subunit proteins of SS I and SS II were almost the same and both SSs seemed to be a tetramer composed of an 83 kDa polypeptide. However, the ionic charges of the native proteins and the kinetic parameters of SSs were different. Specifically, the Km value for UDP-glucose in SS I was the same as that for UDP, while the Km value for UDP-glucose in SS II was less than that for UDP. SS II easily reacted for sucrose synthesis than sucrose cleavage compared with SS I. Therefore, it is considered that SS I and SS II play different roles in the utilization of carbohydrate in young and mature fruit, respectively. << Less

The properties and expression patterns of the six isoforms of sucrose synthase in Arabidopsis are described, and their functions are explored through analysis of T-DNA insertion mutants. The isoforms have generally similar kinetic properties. Although there is variation in sensitivity to substrate inhibition by fructose this is unlikely to be of major physiological significance. No two isoforms have the same spatial and temporal expression patterns. Some are highly expressed in specific locations, whereas others are more generally expressed. More than one isoform is expressed in all organs examined. Mutant plants lacking individual isoforms have no obvious growth phenotypes, and are not significantly different from wild-type plants in starch, sugar and cellulose content, seed weight or seed composition under the growth conditions employed. Double mutants lacking the pairs of similar isoforms sus2 and sus3, and sus5 and sus6, are also not significantly different in these respects from wild-type plants. These results are surprising in the light of the marked phenotypes observed when individual isoforms are eliminated in crop plants including pea, maize, potato and cotton. A sus1/sus4 double mutant grows normally in well-aerated conditions, but shows marked growth retardation and accumulation of sugars when roots are subjected to hypoxia. The sucrose synthase activity in roots of this mutant is 3% or less of wild-type activity. Thus under well-aerated conditions sucrose mobilization in the root can proceed almost entirely via invertases without obvious detriment to the plant, but under hypoxia there is a specific requirement for sucrose synthase activity. << Less

Sucrose synthase (SUS) catalyzes the reversible conversion of sucrose and a nucleoside diphosphate into the corresponding nucleoside diphosphate-glucose and fructose. In Arabidopsis, a multigene family encodes six SUS (SUS1-6) isoforms. The involvement of SUS in the synthesis of UDP-glucose and ADP-glucose linked to Arabidopsis cellulose and starch biosynthesis, respectively, has been questioned by Barratt et al. [(2009) Proc Natl Acad Sci USA 106:13124-13129], who showed that (i) SUS activity in wild type (WT) leaves is too low to account for normal rate of starch accumulation in Arabidopsis, and (ii) different organs of the sus1/sus2/sus3/sus4 SUS mutant impaired in SUS activity accumulate WT levels of ADP-glucose, UDP-glucose, cellulose and starch. However, these authors assayed SUS activity under unfavorable pH conditions for the reaction. By using favorable pH conditions for assaying SUS activity, in this work we show that SUS activity in the cleavage direction is sufficient to support normal rate of starch accumulation in WT leaves. We also demonstrate that sus1/sus2/sus3/sus4 leaves display WT SUS5 and SUS6 expression levels, whereas leaves of the sus5/sus6 mutant display WT SUS1-4 expression levels. Furthermore, we show that SUS activity in leaves and stems of the sus1/sus2/sus3/sus4 and sus5/sus6 plants is ∼85% of that of WT leaves, which can support normal cellulose and starch biosynthesis. The overall data disprove Barratt et al. (2009) claims, and are consistent with the possible involvement of SUS in cellulose and starch biosynthesis in Arabidopsis. << Less

Sucrose synthase catalyzes the de novo production of ADPglucose linked to starch biosynthesis in heterotrophic tissues of plants.
Baroja-Fernandez E., Munoz F.J., Saikusa T., Rodriguez-Lopez M., Akazawa T., Pozueta-Romero J.
By using barley seeds, developmental changes of ADPglucose (ADPG)-producing sucrose synthase (SS) and ADPG pyrophosphorylase (AGPase) have been compared with those of UDPglucose (UDPG), ADPG, sucrose (Suc) and starch contents.

By using barley seeds, developmental changes of ADPglucose (ADPG)-producing sucrose synthase (SS) and ADPG pyrophosphorylase (AGPase) have been compared with those of UDPglucose (UDPG), ADPG, sucrose (Suc) and starch contents. Both ADPG-synthesizing SS and AGPase activity patterns were found to correlate well with those of ADPG and starch contents. Remarkably, however, maximal activities of ADPG-synthesizing SS were found to be several fold higher than those of AGPase throughout seed development, the highest rate of starch accumulation being well accounted for by SS. Kinetic analyses of SS from barley endosperms and potato tubers in the Suc cleavage direction showed similar K(m) values for ADP and UDP, whereas apparent affinity for Suc was shown to be higher in the presence of UDP than with ADP. Moreover, measurements of transglucosylation activities in starch granules incubated with purified SS, ADP and [U-(14)C]Suc revealed a low inhibitory effect of UDP. The ADPG and UDPG contents in the transgenic S-112 SS and starch deficient potato mutant [Zrenner et al. (1995) Plant J. 7: 97] were found to be 35% and 30% of those measured in wild-type plants, whereas both glucose-1-phosphate and glucose-6-phosphate contents were found to be normal as compared with those of wild-type plants. The overall results thus strongly support a novel gluconeogenic mechanism reported previously [Pozueta-Romero et al. (1999) CRIT: Rev. Plant Sci. 18: 489] wherein SS catalyses directly the de novo production of ADPG linked to starch biosynthesis in heterotrophic tissues of plants. << Less

The pathway of sucrose metabolism in cyanobacteria is just starting to be elucidated. The present study describes the first isolation and biochemical characterization of a prokaryotic sucrose synthase (SS, EC 2.4.1.13). Two SS forms (SS-I and SS-II) were detected in Anabaena sp. strain PCC 7119. The isoform SS-II was purified 457-fold and its amino-terminal portion sequenced. Substrate specificity, kinetic constants, native protein and subunit molecular masses, and the effect of different ions and metabolites were studied for SS-II. Anabaena SS was shown to be a tetramer with a 92-kDa polypeptide that was recognized by maize SS polyclonal antibodies. Some striking differences from plant enzymes were demonstrated with respect to substrate affinities, regulation by metal ions and ATP, and the amino-acid sequence of the N-terminal region. << Less
