Effects of nitrate-induced promotion of de novo NAD synthesis in Arabidopsis thaliana

ABSTRACT: In higher plants, NAD synthesis starts with the oxidation of aspartate. This oxidation is catalyzed by aspartate oxidase (AO) encoded by a nitrate-inducible gene. To assess the effects of this upregulation of AO gene in response to a nitrate supply, a transgenic line was generated by introduction of AO gene under the control of a mutated AO promoter into the ao knockout mutant. Since, unlike the wild-type AO promoter, this mutated AO promoter was not activated by a nitrate supply, gene expression in this transgenic line was compared with that in another transgenic line that was generated by introduction of AO gene under the regulation of the wild-type AO promoter into the ao knockout mutant. Changes in gene expression in response to a nitrate supply were analyzed in these transgenic lines.
