| Abstract | Geranylgeranyl diphosphate synthase (GGPPS, EC: 2.5.1.29) catalyzes the biosynthesis of geranylgeranyl diphosphate (GGPP), which is a key precursor for diterpenes including tanshinone. In this study, a full-length cDNA encoding GGPPS was isolated from Salvia miltiorrhiza by rapid amplification of cDNA ends (RACE) for the first time, which was designated as SmGGPPS (GenBank Accession No. FJ643617). The full-length cDNA of SmGGPPS was 1,234 bp containing a 1,092 bp open reading frame (ORF) encoding a polypeptide of 364 amino acids. Analysis of SmGGPPS genomic DNA revealed that it contained 2 exons and 1 intron. Bioinformatics analyses revealed that the deduced SmGGPPS had extensive homology with other plant GGPPSs contained all 5 conserved domains and functional aspartate-rich motifs of the prenyltransferases. Molecular modeling showed that SmGGPPS is a new GGPPS with a spatial structure similar to other plant GGPPSs. Phylogenetic tree analysis indicated that SmGGPPS belongs to the plant GGPPS super-family and has the closest relationship with GGPPS from Nicotiana attenuate. The functional identification in Escherichia coli showed that SmGGPPS could accelerate the biosynthesis of carotenoid, demonstrating that SmGGPPS encoded a functional protein. Expression pattern analysis implied that SmGGPPS expressed higher in leaves and roots, weaker in stems. The expression of SmGGPPS could be up-regulated by Salicylic acid (SA) in leaves and inhibited by methyl jasmonate (MeJA) in 3 tested tissues, suggesting that SmGGPPS was elicitor-responsive. This work will be helpful to understand more about the role of SmGGPPS involved in the tanshinones biosynthesis pathway and metabolic engineering to improve tanshiones production in S. miltiorrhiza. |

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.
