A family of low- and high-affinity sucrose transporters (SUT) was identified. SUT1 serves as a high-affinity transporter essential for phloem loading and long-distance transport in solanaceous species. SUT4 is a low-affinity transporter with an expression pattern overlapping that of SUT1. Both SUT1 and SUT4 localize to enucleate sieve elements of tomato. New sucrose transporter-like proteins, named SUT2, from tomato and Arabidopsis contain extended cytoplasmic domains, thus structurally resembling the yeast sugar sensors SNF3 and RGT2. Features common to these sensors are low codon bias, environment of the start codon, low expression, and lack of detectable transport activity. In contrast to LeSUT1, which is induced during the sink-to-source transition of leaves, SUT2 is more highly expressed in sink than in source leaves and is inducible by sucrose. LeSUT2 protein colocalizes with the low- and high-affinity sucrose transporters in sieve elements of tomato petioles, indicating that multiple SUT mRNAs or proteins travel from companion cells to enucleate sieve elements. The SUT2 gene maps on chromosome V of potato and is linked to a major quantitative trait locus for tuber starch content and yield. Thus, the putative sugar sensor identified colocalizes with two other sucrose transporters, differs from them in kinetic properties, and potentially regulates the relative activity of low- and high-affinity sucrose transport into sieve elements.}, author = {Barker, L.}, doi = {10.1105/tpc.12.7.1153}, file = {:C\:/Users/hp/AppData/Local/Mendeley Ltd./Mendeley Desktop/Downloaded/Barker - 2000 - SUT2, a putative sucrose sensor in sieve elements.pdf:pdf}, isbn = {1040-4651 (Print)}, issn = {1040-4651}, journal = {the Plant Cell}, keywords = {Amino Acid Sequence,Complementary,DNA, Complementary,Fungal Proteins,Genetically Modified,Kinetics,Lycopersicon esculentum,Lycopersicon esculentum: genetics,Molecular Sequence Data,Monosaccharide Transport Proteins,Monosaccharide Transport Proteins: chemistry,Monosaccharide Transport Proteins: genetics,Monosaccharide Transport Proteins: metabolism,Plants, Genetically Modified,Saccharomyces cerevisiae,Saccharomyces cerevisiae: genetics,Sucrose,Sucrose: metabolism}, number = {7}, pages = {1153--1164}, pmid = {10899981}, title = {{SUT2, a putative sucrose sensor in sieve elements}}, volume = {12}, year = {2000} } @article{Castleden2004, abstract = {Suc-phosphate synthase (SPS) is a key regulatory enzyme in the pathway of Sue biosynthesis and has been linked to quantitative trait loci controlling plant growth and yield.

Here we report the finding of five families of SPS genes in wheat (Triticum aestivum) and other monocotyledonous plants from the family Poaceae (grasses). Three of these form separate subfamilies within the previously described A, B, and C gene families, but the other two form a novel and distinctive D family, which on present evidence is only found in the Poaceae. The D-type SPS proteins lack the phosphorylation sites associated with 14-3-3 protein binding and osmotic stress activation, and the linker region between the N-terminal catalytic glucosyltransferase domain and the C-terminal Suc-phosphatase-like domain is 80 to 90 amino acid residues shorter than in the A, B, or C types. The D family appears to have arisen after the divergence of mono- and dicotyledonous plants, with a later duplication event resulting in the two D-type subfamilies. Each of the SPS gene families in wheat showed different, but overlapping, spatial and temporal expression patterns, and in most organs at least two different SPS genes are expressed. Analysis of expressed sequence tags indicated similar expression patterns to wheat for each SPS gene family in barley (Hordeum vulgare) but not in more distantly related grasses. We identified an expressed sequence tag from rice (Oryza sativa) that appears to be derived from an endogenous antisense SPS gene, and this might account for the apparently low level of expression of the related OsSPS11 sense gene, adding to the already extensive list of mechanisms for regulating the activity of SPS in plants.}, author = {Castleden, C.

In the transport sector, which is still mainly dependent on liquid fuels, the production of second generation ethanol from lignocellulosic feedstock is a promising strategy to substitute fossil fuels. The main prerequisites on designated crops for increased biomass production are high biomass yield and optimized saccharification for subsequent use in fermentation processes. We tried to address these traits by the overexpression of a sucrose-phosphate synthase gene (SoSPS) from sugarcane (Saccharum officinarum) in the model grass Brachypodium distachyon. The resulting transgenic B. distachyon lines not only revealed increased plant height at early growth stages but also higher biomass yield from fully senesced plants, which was increased up to 52 % compared to wild-type. Additionally, we determined higher sucrose content in senesced leaf biomass from the transgenic lines, which correlated with improved biomass saccharification after conventional thermo-chemical pretreatment and enzymatic hydrolysis. Combining increased biomass production and saccharification efficiency in the generated B. distachyon SoSPS overexpression lines, we obtained a maximum of 74 % increase in glucose release per plant compared to wild-type. Therefore, we consider SoSPS overexpression as a promising approach in molecular breeding of energy crops for optimizing yields of biomass and its utilization in second generation biofuel production.}, author = {Falter, Christian and Voigt, Christian A.}, doi = {10.1007/s13562-015-0343-5}, issn = {09741275}, journal = {Journal of Plant Biochemistry and Biotechnology}, keywords = {Biomass,Metabolic engineering,Plant development,Saccharification,Sucrose,Transformation}, number = {3}, pages = {311--318}, publisher = {Journal of Plant Biochemistry and Biotechnology}, title = {{Improving biomass production and saccharification in Brachypodium distachyon through overexpression of a sucrose-phosphate synthase from sugarcane}}, volume = {25}, year = {2016} } @article{Ferreon2013, abstract = {Allostery is an intrinsic property of many globular proteins and enzymes that is indispensable for cellular regulatory and feedback mechanisms. Recent theoretical and empirical observations indicate that allostery is also manifest in intrinsically disordered proteins, which account for a substantial proportion of the proteome. Many intrinsically disordered proteins are promiscuous binders that interact with multiple partners and frequently function as molecular hubs in protein interaction networks. The adenovirus early region 1A (E1A) oncoprotein is a prime example of a molecular hub intrinsically disordered protein. E1A can induce marked epigenetic reprogramming of the cell within hours after infection, through interactions with a diverse set of partners that include key host regulators such as the general transcriptional coactivator CREB binding protein (CBP), its paralogue p300, and the retinoblastoma protein (pRb; also called RB1). Little is known about the allosteric effects at play in E1A-CBP-pRb interactions, or more generally in hub intrinsically disordered protein interaction networks. Here we used single-molecule fluorescence resonance energy transfer (smFRET) to study coupled binding and folding processes in the ternary E1A system. The low concentrations used in these high-sensitivity experiments proved to be essential for these studies, which are challenging owing to a combination of E1A aggregation propensity and high-affinity binding interactions. Our data revealed that E1A-CBP-pRb interactions have either positive or negative cooperativity, depending on the available E1A interaction sites. This striking cooperativity switch enables fine-tuning of the thermodynamic accessibility of the ternary versus binary E1A complexes, and may permit a context-specific tuning of associated downstream signalling outputs. Such a modulation of allosteric interactions is probably a common mechanism in molecular hub intrinsically disordered protein function. {\textcopyright} 2013 Macmillan Publishers Limited.

In many cases folding of these segments is coupled to binding with one or more of their interaction partners, suggesting that intrinsic disorder plays an important functional role. Despite numerous hypotheses for the role of ID domains in regulation, a mechanistic model has yet to be established that can quantitatively assess the importance of intrinsic disorder for intramolecular site-to-site communication, the hallmark property of allosteric proteins. Here, we present such a model and show that site-to-site allosteric coupling is maximized when intrinsic disorder is present in the domains or segments containing one or both of the coupled binding sites. This result not only explains the prevalence of ID domains in regulatory proteins, it also calls into question the classical mechanical view of energy propagation in proteins, which predicts that site-to-site coupling would be maximized when a well defined pathway of folded structure connects the two sites. Furthermore, in showing that the coupling mechanism conferred by intrinsic disorder is robust and independent of the network of interactions that physically link the coupled sites, unique insights are gained into the energetic ground rules that govern site-to-site communication in all proteins. {\textcopyright} 2007 by The National Academy of Sciences of the USA.}, author = {Hilser, Vincent J. and Thompson, E.

This study aimed to identify the UDP-G binding site of sugarcane (Saccharum officinarum) SPS (SoSPS1) and to improve its affinity for ADP-G by site-directed mutagenesis. To achieve targeted mutagenesis, amino acid distribution and comparative modeling studies were performed, followed by site-directed mutagenesis of SoSPS1 in the putative UDP-G binding motif. The N-terminal deletion of SoSPS1 (∆N-SoSPS1) was used for enzymatic analysis. The results showed that mutations in the R-X4-K, E-X7-E, and H-X5-V motifs significantly affect UDP-G and ADP-G binding. Mutations at R496 and K501 severely attenuate the affinity for UDP-G. Additionally, alanine substitutions at E591 and V570 decreased the UDP-G affinity but remarkably increased its ADP-G affinity. The R-X4-K motif plays a crucial role in the UDP-G binding site and catalytic activity of plant SPS; thus, its alteration to other amino acids was not viable.

Tobacco (Nicotiana tabacum cv. Xanthi) plants were transformed with an arabidopsis SPS gene under the regulation of the ubiquitously expressed tandem repeat of the 35S cauliflower mosaic virus promoter, and subject to growth trials and fibre characterization. It was apparent that over-expression of SPS resulted in substantially elevated concentrations of sink sucrose pools compared to wild-type plants, while source tissue sucrose pools remained the same. All transformed plants had significantly increased stem height, which was ascribed to internode elongation, and greater stem diameters, longer fibers and increased total dry biomass relative to the control plants. Difference in the chemical composition of either the storage or structural carbohydrates of the wild-type and SPS transgenic lines were only minor. The correlation between increased stem sucrose content and plant phenotypes with elevated SPS gene expression confirm a role for sucrose availability in controlling plant growth and fibre elongation. {\textcopyright} 2007 Springer Science+Business Media B.V.}, author = {Park, Ji Young and Canam, Thomas and Kang, Kyu Young and Ellis, David D. and Mansfield, Shawn D.}, doi = {10.1007/s11248-007-9090-2}, issn = {09628819}, journal = {Transgenic Research}, keywords = {Carbohydrate metabolism,Fibre development,Plant growth,Plant metabolism,Soluble carbohydrates,Sucrose,Sucrose phosphate synthase (SPS),Tobacco}, number = {2}, pages = {181--192}, pmid = {17415671}, title = {{Over-expression of an arabidopsis family A sucrose phosphate synthase (SPS) gene alters plant growth and fibre development}}, volume = {17}, year = {2008} } @article{Salerno2003, abstract = {Since the discovery of sucrose biosynthesis, considerable advances have been made in understanding its regulation and crucial role in the functional biology of plants.

We produced recombinant sugarcane SPS using Escherichia coli and Sf9 insect cells to investigate its structure-function relationship. When expressed in E. coli, two forms of SPS with different sizes appeared; the larger was comparable in size with the authentic plant enzyme and the shorter was trimmed the N-terminal 20 kDa region off. In the insect cells, only enzyme with the authentic size was produced. We purified the trimmed SPS and the full size enzyme from insect cells and found their enzymatic properties differed significantly; the full size enzyme was activated allosterically by G6P, while the trimmed one showed a high activity even without G6P. We further introduced a series of N-terminal truncations up to 171 residue and found G6P-independent activity was enhanced by the truncation. These combined results indicated that the N-terminal region of sugarcane SPS is crucial for the allosteric regulation by G6P and may function like a suppressor domain for the enzyme activity.}, author = {Sawitri, Widhi Dyah and Narita, Hirotaka and Ishizaka-Ikeda, Etsuko and Sugiharto, Bambang and Hase, Toshiharu and Nakagawa, Atsushi}, doi = {10.1093/jb/mvw004}, file = {:C\:/Users/hp/AppData/Local/Mendeley Ltd./Mendeley Desktop/Downloaded/Sawitri et al. - 2016 - Purification and characterization of recombinant sugarcane sucrose phosphate synthase expressed in E.

Carbon (C) and nitrogen (N) are the major components required for plant growth and the metabolic pathways for C and N assimilation are very closely interlinked. Maintaining an appropriate balance or ratio of sugar to nitrogen metabolites in the cell, is important for the regulation of plant growth and development. To understand how C and N metabolism interact, we manipulated the expression of key genes in C and N metabolism individually and concurrently and checked for the repercussions. Transgenic tobacco plants with a cytosolic soybean glutamine synthetase (GS1) gene and a sucrose phosphate synthase (SPS) gene from maize, both driven by the CaMV 35S promoter were produced. Co-transformants, with both the transgenes were produced by sexual crosses. While GS is the key enzyme in N assimilation, involved in the synthesis of glutamine, SPS plays a key role in C metabolism by catalyzing the synthesis of sucrose. Moreover, to check if nitrate has any role in this interaction, the plants were grown under both low and high nitrogen. The SPS enzyme activity in the SPS and SPS/GS1 co-transformants were the same under both nitrogen regimens. However, the GS activity was lower in the co-transformants compared to the GS1 transformants, specifically under low nitrogen conditions. The GS1/SPS transformants showed a phenotype similar to the SPS transformants, suggesting that sucrose is the major determinant of growth and development in tobacco, and its effect is only marginally affected by increased N assimilation. Sucrose may be functioning in a metabolic capacity or as a signaling molecule.}, author = {Seger, Mark and Gebril, Sayed and Tabilona, Jules and Peel, Amanda and Sengupta-Gopalan, Champa}, doi = {10.1007/s00425-014-2165-4}, issn = {14322048}, journal = {Planta}, keywords = {C:N ratio,Co-transformants,Cytosolic glutamine synthetase (GS1),Sucrose phosphate synthase (SPS),Sucrose:starch ratio}, number = {1}, pages = {69--81}, pmid = {25213117}, title = {{Impact of concurrent overexpression of cytosolic glutamine synthetase (GS1) and sucrose phosphate synthase (SPS) on growth and development in transgenic tobacco}}, volume = {241}, year = {2015} } @article{Sonnewald1993, abstract = {Sucrose-phosphate synthase (SPS) from leaves of spinach (Spinacia oleracea L.) has been purified to homogeneity by a procedure involving precipitation with polyethylenglycol and chromatography over diethylaminoethylcellulose, $\Omega$-aminohexylagarose, Mono Q and Blue Affinity columns.

On denaturing gels the major polypeptide was 120 kDa but there was also a variable amount of smaller polypeptides in the range of 90 to 110 kDa. A new activity stain was developed to allow visualization of SPS in gels. The holoenzyme had a molecular weight of about 240 and 480 kDa in native gels and Sepharose, respectively. A high-titre polyclonal antibody was obtained which reacted with SPS from other species including wheat, potato, banana and maize. Screening of a spinach-leaf cDNA-expression library with the antibody allowed the isolation of a full-length clone. Sequencing revealed a predicted molecular weight of 117649 Da, and considerable homology with the recently published sequence for maize leaf (Worrell et al. 1991, Plant Cell 3, 1121-1130). Expression of the spinach-leaf SPS gene in Escherichia coli resulted in biological activity, revealed by the presence of SPS activity in extracts and the accumulation of sucrose-6-phosphate and sucrose in the bacteria. {\textcopyright} 1993 Springer-Verlag.}, author = {Sonnewald, U. and Quick, W.

This is a central regulatory process in the production of sucrose in plants, cyanobacteria, and proteobacteria. Here, we report the crystal structure of SPS from the nonphotosynthetic bacterium Halothermothrix orenii and its complexes with the substrate F6P and the product S6P. SPS has two distinct Rossmann-fold domains with a large substrate binding cleft at the interdomain interface. Structures of two complexes show that both the substrate F6P and the product S6P bind to the A-domain of SPS. Based on comparative analysis of the SPS structure with other related enzymes, the donor substrate, nucleotide diphosphate glucose, binds to the B-domain of SPS. Furthermore, we propose a mechanism of catalysis by H. orenii SPS. Our findings indicate that SPS from H. orenii may represent a valid model for the catalytic domain of plant SPSs and thus may provide useful insight into the reaction mechanism of the plant enzyme. {\textcopyright} 2008 American Society of Plant Biologists.}, author = {Teck, Khiang Chua and Bujnicki, Janusz M. and Tan, Tien Chye and Huynh, Frederick and Patel, Bharat K. and Sivaraman, J.}, doi = {10.1105/tpc.107.051193}, file = {:C\:/Users/hp/AppData/Local/Mendeley Ltd./Mendeley Desktop/Downloaded/Teck et al. - 2008 - The structure of sucrose phosphate synthase from Halothermothrix orenii reveals its mechanism of action and binding.pdf:pdf;:C\:/Users/hp/AppData/Local/Mendeley Ltd./Mendeley Desktop/Downloaded/Teck et al. - 2008 - The structure of sucrose phosphate synthase from Halothermothrix orenii reveals its mechanism of action and bind(2).pdf:pdf}, issn = {10404651}, journal = {Plant Cell}, number = {4}, pages = {1059--1072}, pmid = {18424616}, title = {{The structure of sucrose phosphate synthase from Halothermothrix orenii reveals its mechanism of action and binding mode}}, volume = {20}, year = {2008} } @article{Toroser1999, abstract = {Site-directed mutagenesis of spinach sucrose-phosphate synthase (SPS) was performed to investigate the role of Ser158 in the modulation of spinach leaf SPS. Tobacco plants expressing the spinach wild-type (WT), S158A, S158T and S157F/S158E SPS transgenes were produced. Expression of transgenes appeared not to reduce expression of the tobacco host SPS. SPS activity in the WT and the S158T SPS transgenics showed light/dark modulation, whereas the S158A and S157F/S158E mutants were not similarly light/dark modulated: the S158A mutant enzyme was not inactivated in the dark, and the S157F/S158E was not activated in the light. The inability to modulate the activity of the S158A mutant enzyme by protein phosphorylation was demonstrated in vitro. The WT spinach enzyme immunopurified from dark transgenic tobacco leaves had a low initial activation state, and could be activated by PP2A and subsequently inactivated by SPS-kinase plus ATP. Rapid purification of the S158A mutant enzyme from dark leaves of transgenic plants using spinach-specific monoclonal antibodies yielded enzyme that had a high initial activation state, and pre-incubation with leaf PP2A or ATP plus SPS-kinase (the PKIII enzyme) caused little modulation of activity. The results demonstrate the regulatory significance of Ser158 as the major site responsible for dark inactivation of spinach SPS in vivo, and indicate that the significance of phosphorylation is the introduction of a negative charge at the Ser158 position.}, author = {Toroser, Dikran and McMichael, Robert and Krause, Klause Peter and Kurreck, Jens and Sonnewald, Uwe and Stitt, Mark and Huber, Steven C.}, doi = {10.1046/j.1365-313X.1999.00389.x}, file = {:C\:/Users/hp/AppData/Local/Mendeley Ltd./Mendeley Desktop/Downloaded/Toroser et al. - 1999 - Site-directed mutagenesis of serine 158 demonstrates its role in spinach leaf sucrose-phosphate synthase modulat.pdf:pdf}, isbn = {0960-7412}, issn = {09607412}, journal = {Plant Journal}, number = {4}, pages = {407--413}, pmid = {10205897}, title = {{Site-directed mutagenesis of serine 158 demonstrates its role in spinach leaf sucrose-phosphate synthase modulation}}, volume = {17}, year = {1999} } @article{Worrell2016, author = {Worrell, Ann C and Bruneau, Jean-michel and Summerfelt, Kristin and Boersig, Mike and Toni, A}, file = {:D\:/S2-Bioteknologi/thesis/jurnal manuscript/Worrell, 1991_Plant Cell.pdf:pdf}, number = {10}, pages = {1121--1130}, title = {{Expression of a Maize Sucrose Phosphate Synthase in Tomato Alters Leaf Carbohydrate Partitioning Published by : American Society of Plant Biologists ( ASPB ) Stable URL : http://www.jstor.org/stable/3869300 REFERENCES Linked references are available on JSTOR for this article : You may need to log in to JSTOR to access the linked references .
