malfunction
-
disruption of the gsmA gene, encoding Gsm homologue protein, generates a mutant that exhibits a longer lag period of growth and delayed spore germination under osmostress, it shows normal growth in CYE medium at 30°C, phenotype, overview
metabolism
-
glycine sarcosine methyltransferase and sarcosine dimethylglycine methyltransferase, EC 2.1.1.157, catalyze glycine betaine synthesis from glycine
physiological function
additional information
GSMT from a halophilic methanoarchaeon regulates betaine biosynthesis pathway by a distinct mechanism. GSMT catalyzes the first enzymatic step in synthesis of the osmolyte betaine in halophilic archaea, GSMT may also play a major role in coupling the salt-in and compatible solute (osmolyte) osmoadaptative strategies in halophilic methanogens for adapting to high salt environments
physiological function
-
recombinant enzyme expression in maize plays an important role in its tolerance to drought stress
physiological function
recombinant enzyme expression results in a significant increase of glycine betaine biosynthesis and enhanced tolerance to salt and cold stresses in transgenic rice plants
physiological function
the recombinant enzyme can enhance tolerance to drought and salt stress in Arabidopsis thaliana
