| Abstract | A cDNA encoding the multifunctional cytochrome P450, CYP71E1, involved in the biosynthesis of the cyanogenic glucoside dhurrin from Sorghum bicolor (L.) Moench was isolated. A PCR approach based on three consensus sequences of A-type cytochromes P450 – (V/I)KEX(L/F)R, FXPERF, and PFGXGRRXCXG – was applied. Three novel cytochromes P450 (CYP71E1, CYP98, and CYP99) in addition to a PCR fragment encoding sorghum cinnamic acid 4-hydroxylase were obtained.Reconstitution experiments with recombinant CYP71E1 heterologously expressed in Escherichia coli and sorghum NADPH–cytochrome P450–reductase in L-α-dilaurylphosphatidyl choline micelles identified CYP71E1 as the cytochrome P450 that catalyses the conversion of p-hydroxyphenylacetaldoxime to p-hydroxymandelonitrile in dhurrin biosynthesis. In accordance to the proposed pathway for dhurrin biosynthesis CYP71E1 catalyses the dehydration of the oxime to the corresponding nitrile, followed by a C-hydroxylation of the nitrile to produce p-hydroxymandelonitrile. In vivo administration of oxime to E. coli cells results in the accumulation of the nitrile, which indicates that the flavodoxin/flavodoxin reductase system in E. coli is only able to support CYP71E1 in the dehydration reaction, and not in the subsequent C-hydroxylation reaction.CYP79 catalyses the conversion of tyrosine to p-hydroxyphenylacetaldoxime, the first committed step in the biosynthesis of the cyanogenic glucoside dhurrin. Reconstitution of both CYP79 and CYP71E1 in combination with sorghum NADPH-cytochrome P450–reductase resulted in the conversion of tyrosine to p-hydroxymandelonitrile, i.e. the membranous part of the biosynthetic pathway of the cyanogenic glucoside dhurrin. Isolation of the cDNA for CYP71E1 together with the previously isolated cDNA for CYP79 provide important tools necessary for tissue-specific regulation of cyanogenic glucoside levels in plants to optimize food safety and pest resistance. |

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.
