Relative transcript levels of eight rice diterpene cyclases at the branch points of gibberellins and phytoalexins biosynthesis pathway were measured by reverse transcription quantitative PCR. Metabolic flux analysis by the distribution ratio of common substrate showed that UV-irradiation of etiolated rice seedlings decreased the flux for primary metabolism of gibberellins biosynthesis by half (from 62 to 27%) and 41% of geranylgeranyl pyrophosphate was used for induction of pimaradiene intermediate as the major phytoalexin. In comparison, light-illumination used almost all geranylgeranyl pyrophosphate (96%) for gibberellin biosynthesis to stimulate the plant growth and strongly repressed the metabolic flux for phytoalexins biosynthesis.

Vitamin A (all-trans-retinol; at-Rol) and its derivatives, known as retinoids, have been adopted by vertebrates to serve as visual chromophores and signaling molecules, particularly in the eye/retina. Few tissues rely on retinoids as heavily as the retina, and the study of genetically modified mouse models with deficiencies in specific retinoid-metabolizing proteins has allowed us to gain insight into the unique or redundant roles of these proteins in at-Rol uptake and storage, or their downstream roles in retinal development and function. These processes occur during embryogenesis and continue throughout life.

Phosphoenolpyruvate carboxylase encoded by ppc catalyzes the anaplerotic reaction of oxaloacetate in the TCA cycle in Escherichia coli. Deletion of ppc does not prevent the cells from replenishing oxaloacetate via the glyoxylate shunt, but the ppc-deletion strain almost did not grow on glucose. In the present study, we obtained evolved strains by deleting both ppc and mutS to increase the mutation rate and investigated the mechanisms for improving growth by analyzing the mutated genes.

In vitro studies have shown that removing the regulatory domain abolishes the feedback regulation on plant IPMS while retaining its catalytic activity. However, the physiological consequences and underlying molecular regulation on Leu flux upon removing the IPMS C-terminal domain remain to be explored in plants.
