Cloning and nitrate induction of nitrate reductase mRNA

RESUMO
Nitrate is the major source of nitrogen taken from the soil by higher plants but requires reduction to ammonia prior to incorporation into amino acids. The first enzyme in the reducing pathway is a nitrate-inducible enzyme, nitrate reductase (EC 1.6.6.1). A specific polyclonal antiserum raised against purified barley nitrate reductase has been used to immunoprecipitate in vivo labeled protein and in vitro translation products, demonstrating that nitrate induction increases nitrate reductase protein and translatable mRNA. A partial cDNA clone for barley nitrate reductase has been isolated and identified by hybrid-selected translation. RNA blot-hybridization analysis shows that nitrate induction also causes a marked increase in the steady-state level of nitrate reductase mRNA.
