Abstract

To  develop novel antimicrobial agents  to Rhizoctonia solani,   the genomic gene and complete cDNA encoding glucosamine6phosphate synthetase  were cloned and sequenced from the rice pathogen Rhizoctonia solani by   3′RACE and 5′RACE .  Homologous to other reported GlmS in  sequence,  the GlmS  contains eight introns, and encodes a predicted protein of 697 amino acids. Domain structure analysis revealed that R.solani GlmS contained a glutamine transferase motif and two sugar isomerase motifs. Recombinant native R.solani GlmS enzyme  was overexpressed using  Escherichia coli and purified. The results of Gel filtration chromatography and SDSPAGE revealed that it had an estimated molecular mass of 306 kD  and consisted of four equalsized subunits of 77 kD. The optimal reaction conditions for the recombinant GlmS were pH 6.4 at 37℃, the halflife  period  for the recombinant GlmS was 1 h at 42℃ and the enzyme was stable at pH 5.5-7.5. R.solani GlmS activity was inhibited by the endproduct of the hexosamine pathway, UDPGlcNAc.
