synthesis
-
transgenic expression in arabidopsis thaliana. After high zinc stress, the transgenic plants over-expressing SmtA show higher survival rate than the wild type. Over-expression of SmtA in Arabidopsis increases the activities of superoxide dismutase and peroxidase, and enhances the tolerance to zinc stress
agriculture
transgenic expression in Nicotiana tabacum. When plants are watered with 200 microM selenate, overexpression of a selenocysteine methyltransferase transgene causes a 2- to 4fold increase in Se accumulation resulting in increased numbers of leaf lesions and areas of necrosis, production of methylselenocysteine up to 20% of total Se and generation of volatile dimethyl diselenide derived directly from methylselenocysteine. Despite the greatly increased accumulation of total Se, this does not result in increased Se toxicity effects on growth. Overexpression of ATP sulfurylase does not increase Se accumulation from selenate. Lines overexpressing both ATP sulfurylase and selenocysteine methyltransferase do not show a further increase in total Se accumulation or in leaf toxicity symptoms relative to overexpression of selenocysteine methyltransferase alone, but direct a greater proportion of Se into methylselenocysteine
agriculture
-
Brassica juncea SMT demonstrates its potential applications in crop MeSeCys biofortification and phytoremediation of Se pollution
-
the ability to transfer the selenocysteine methyltransferase gene into a higher biomass, rapidly growing, and edible plant can lead to a cost effective method of producing Se-methyl-selenocysteine gamma-glutamylmethylselenocysteine enriched plant material
synthesis
-
expression of AbSMT in transgenic tomato enables production of MeSeCys from selenate or selenite and biofortification of a food crop with the anticancer compound MeSeCys is a possibility
