Rapid Accumulation of Phenylalanine Ammonia-Lyase mRNA and 3-Hydroxy-3-Methylglutaryl CoA Reductase mRNA by Protein Synthesis Inhibitors
Plant Pathology Laboratory, School of Agricultural Sciences, Nagoya University Chikusa, Nagoya, 464-01 Japan
Hyphal wall components of Phytophthora infestans, the late blight fungus, induced rapid accumulation of phenylalanine ammonia-lyase (PAL) and 3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl CoA reductase (HMGR) transcripts (mRNA) in potato tubers. The effects of protein synthesis inhibitors, blasticidin S and cycloheximide, on the gene transcription were examined. These inhibitors also induced PAL and HMGR transcript accumulation.
