Abstract:

Two glutamate synthase genes (StFd-GOGAT, StNADH-GOGAT) were cloned and their structures and functions were analyzed using potato cultivar Chunshu 4. The results showed that the StFd- GOGAT and StNADH-GOGAT consisted of 1622 and 2210 amino acids, respectively, with protein molecular weights of 176.106 and 242.021kDa, respectively. Prediction showed that StGOGATs were stable and hydrophilic proteins. Analysis of their protein domains showed that StGOGATs proteins belonged to the gltB family in the first 1700 amino acid positions, which played a role in nitrogen metabolism and could catalyze the conversion of amide nitrogen from glutamine. It was hydrolyzed into glutamic acid and ammonia and transferred to suitable substrates. Gene mapping showed that StGOGATs were located in the first 850kb of potato chromosome 3. Promoter cis-acting element analysis of StGOGATs showed that they were related to plant photosynthesis and the synthesis of nitrogen compounds. It was found that they had a high homology with Solanum lycopersicum and Solanum pennellii by constructing a phylogenetic tree. The protein interaction prediction showed that there was a direct interaction between StFd-GOGAT and StNADH-GOGAT. The tertiary structure prediction showed that only StNADH-GOGAT had its own homodimer structure. Subcellular localization speculated that StFd-GOGAT and StNADH-GOGAT function in the cytoplasm and chloroplast, respectively. The properties, structure and function of StGOGATs were preliminarily clarified, laying a theoretical foundation for the subsequent exploration of their molecular regulation mechanism in the GS/GOGAT cycle.

Key words: GS/GOGAT cycle, StGOGATs, Protein structure, Protein interaction, Promoter
