| Abstract | We screened cDNA libraries from periwinkle (Catharanthus roseus) cell cultures induced for indole alkaloid synthesis and selected clones for induced cytochrome P-450 (P-450) proteins by differential hybridization, size of the hybridizing mRNA, and presence of amino acid motifs conserved in many P-450 families. Four cDNAs satisfying these criteria were analyzed in detail. They were grouped in two classes (pCros1, pCros2) that represented two closely related genes of a new P-450 family designated CYP72. Antiserum against a cDNA fusion protein overexpressed in Escherichia coli recognized in C. roseus a protein band of 56 kD. Quantification of western blots showed that it represented 1.5 ± 0.5 and 6 ± 1 μg/mg of protein in the membranes from noninduced and induced cells, respectively, and analysis of the total P-450 content suggested that the cDNA-encoded protein was one of the dominant P-450 proteins. The pathway to indole alkaloids contains two known P-450 enzymes, geraniol-10-hydroxylase (GE10H) and nerol-10-hydroxylase (NE10H). The induction kinetics of the cloned P-450 protein and of GE10H activity were similar, but those of NE10H were different. Western blots with membranes from other plants suggested that P-450 CYP72 is specific for C. roseus and other plants with GE10H activity. A tentative assignment of CYP72 as GE10H is discussed. The cDNA was recloned for expression in Saccharomyces cerevisiae, and the presence of the protein was demonstrated by western blots. Assays for GE10H failed to detect enzyme activity, and the same negative result was obtained for NE10H and other P-450 enzymes that are present in C. roseus. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
