Terpene trilactones (TTLs) are the main secondary metabolites of Ginkgo biloba. As one of the rate-limiting enzymes in the mevalonic acid (MVA) pathway of TTL biosynthesis, 3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl-coenzyme A reductase (HMGR) catalyzes the 3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl coenzyme A to form MVA. In this study, two cDNA sequences of HMGR genes, namely, GbHMGR2 and GbHMGR3, were cloned from G. biloba. The protein sequences of GbHMGR2 and GbHMGR3, which contain several functional domains, were analyzed. Regulatory elements related to light, hormone, and stress response were detected in the promoter regions of GbHMGR2 and GbHMGR3. The catalytic activity of these genes was verified by a functional complement experiment in yeast. Quantitative real-time PCR (qRT-PCR) showed the distinct expression patterns of the two genes in different organs. The TTL contents in the organs were detected by high-performance liquid chromatography- evaporative light scattering detector. GbHMGR2 and GbHMGR3 were responded to cold, dark, methyl jasmonate (MJ), abscisic acid (ABA), salicylic acid (SA), and ethephon (Eth) treatments. The TTL contents were also regulated by cold, dark, MJ, ABA, SA, and Eth treatment. In conclusion, GbHMGR2 and GbHMGR3 may participate in the MVA pathway of TTL biosynthesis.

View all literature mentionsNIH genetic sequence database that provides annotated collection of all publicly available DNA sequences for almost 280 000 formally described species (Jan 2014) .These sequences are obtained primarily through submissions from individual laboratories and batch submissions from large-scale sequencing projects, including whole-genome shotgun (WGS) and environmental sampling projects. Most submissions are made using web-based BankIt or standalone Sequin programs, and GenBank staff assigns accession numbers upon data receipt. It is part of International Nucleotide Sequence Database Collaboration and daily data exchange with European Nucleotide Archive (ENA) and DNA Data Bank of Japan (DDBJ) ensures worldwide coverage. GenBank is accessible through NCBI Entrez retrieval system, which integrates data from major DNA and protein sequence databases along with taxonomy, genome, mapping, protein structure and domain information, and biomedical journal literature via PubMed. BLAST provides sequence similarity searches of GenBank and other sequence databases. Complete bimonthly releases and daily updates of GenBank database are available by FTP.
