| Abstract : The gibberellin (GA) biosynthetic pathway includes four apparent cytochrome P450-mediated steps that convert kaurene to 7 alpha-hydroxykaurenoic acid. One of these reactions, the hydroxylation of kaurenoic acid to 7 alpha-hydroxykaurenoic acid, is mediated by kaurenoic acid hydroxylase. This reaction can be catalyzed in vitro by microsomal preparations from the fungus Gibberella fujikuroi (Saw.) Wr. and monitored by HPLC. Cultures grown in the presence of 84 microM AMO-1618 (an inhibitor of kaurene synthesis) had reduced levels of GA3 in fungal filtrates and decreased cell-free kaurenoic acid hydroxylase activity. However, the level of hydroxylase activity from AMO-1618-treated cultures could be induced several-fold by growing cultures in the presence of 350 microM kaurene. Since transcripts related to GA biosynthesis might be decreased in AMO-1618-treated cultures, a subtractive hybridization procedure was used to enrich cDNA fragments corresponding to messages that are more abundant in untreated than treated cultures. A fungal cDNA library was screened with the subtraction products and a clone was isolated that corresponds to two down-regulated transcripts in AMO-1618-treated cultures. This cDNA does not encode a cytochrome P450 but may be associated with GA biosynthesis. |
