The sequence in which a variety of enzymes and metabolites are affected by gibberellic acid after application of the hormone to aleurone layers of half seeds of barley (Hordeum vulgare var. Betzes) and half seeds of wheat (Triticum aestivum var. Gensee) was investigated. With barley aleurone layers the first hormonal effect observed was the increased secretion of soluble carbohydrate, some of which appears to be a glucan containing some beta-1,3 linkages. This was followed by increased oxygen consumption and increased secretion of ATPase, GTPase, phytase, phosphomonoesterase, phosphodiesterase, inorganic phosphate, carbohydrates other than amylase, peroxidase and amylase. Similar sequential effects were seen in wheat half seeds. Increased activity of alcohol dehydrogenase in barley seeds was elicited by the hormone but there was no effect on glucose-6-phosphate isomerase.

Escherichia coli is a common host for recombinant protein production in which production titers are highly dependent on the employed expression system. Promoters are thereby a key element to control gene expression levels. In this study, a novel PLICable promoter toolbox was developed which enables in a single cloning step and after a screening experiment to identify out of ten IPTG-inducible promoters (T7, A3, lpp, tac, pac, Sp6, lac, npr, trc and syn) the most suitable one for high level protein production. The target gene is cloned under the control of different promoters in a single and efficient cloning step using the ligase-free cloning method PLICing (phosphorothioate-based ligase-independent gene cloning). The promoter toolbox was firstly validated using three well producible proteins (a cellulase from a metagenome library, a phytase from Yersinia mollaretii and an alcohol dehydrogenase from Pseudomonas putida) and then applied to two enzymes (3D1 DNA polymerase and glutamate dehydrogenase mutant) which are poorly produced in E. coli. By applying our PLICable pET-promoter toolbox, the authors were able to increase production by two-fold for 3D1 DNA polymerase (lac promoter) and 29-fold for glutamate dehydrogenase mutant H52Y (trc promoter).
