2.5.1.45 | evolution |
the gene encoding enzyme HSS origins from a single duplication event of a single-copy gene encoding deoxyhypusine synthase, DHS, EC 2.5.1.46. This duplication event was followed by several losses of a functional gene copy attributable to gene loss or pseudogenization. Statistical analyses of sequence data suggest that, in those lineages in which the gene copy was successfully recruited as HSS, the gene duplication event was followed by phases of various selection pressures, including purifying selection, relaxed functional constraints, and possibly positive Darwinian selection |

transgenic tobacco plants are generated expressing Senecio vernalis homospermidine synthase. Analyses of the polyamine content reveals that, in the transgenic plants, about 80% of spermidine is replaced by homospermidine without any conspicuous modifications of the phenotype. Tracer-feeding experiments and gas chromatographic analyses suggest that these high levels of homospermidine are not sufficient to explain the formation of alkaloid precursors |

polymanines in Crotalaria are detectable only when the plants form nodules after infection with their rhizobial partner. But polyamines are synthesized by the plant not by the mcirosymbiont |
