gene PCS1, two Morus notabilis PCS genes are identified based on a genome-wide analysis of the Morus genome database, DNA and amino acid sequence determination and analysis, exon-intron structures of the MnPCS genes, quantitative real-time PCR enzyme expression analysis, expression in Arabidopsis thaliana Morus notabilis
gene PCS2, two Morus notabilis PCS genes are identified based on a genome-wide analysis of the Morus genome database, DNA and amino acid sequence determination and analysis, exon-intron structures of the MnPCS genes, quantitative real-time PCR enzyme expression analysis, recombinant expression in Arabidopsis thaliana Morus notabilis

Protein Variants

Protein Variants Comment Organism
additional information Zn2+/Cd2+ concentrations in both shoots and roots of the transgenic Arabidopsis seedlings expressing PCS1 and/or PCS2 are higher than in wild-type seedlings at two different Zn2+/Cd2+ concentrations. In addition, there is a positive correlation between Zn2+ accumulation and the expression level of MnPCS1 or MnPCS2 Morus notabilis

Expression

Organism Comment Expression
Morus notabilis expression of PCS1 is induced in root, stem, and leaf tissues within 24 h of exposure to 0.3 mM Zn2+ and 0.03-0.1 mM Cd2+ up
Morus notabilis expression of PCS2 is induced in root, stem, and leaf tissues within 24 h of exposure to 0.3 mM Zn2+ and 0.03-0.1 mM Cd2+ up

General Information

General Information Comment Organism
physiological function phytochelatin synthase (PCS) is an enzyme involved in the synthesis of phytochelatins, cysteine-rich peptides which play a key role in heavy metal (HM) detoxification of plants. Mulberry has the potential to remediate HM-contaminated soils. The two PCS genes in Morus notabilis (PCS1 and 2) are involved in HM detoxification in Morus. MnPCS1 plays a more important role in Cd detoxification than MnPCS2. MnPCS enzymes can markedly increase the tolerance of the transgenic plants at high concentrations of Zn2+, while the corresponding relationship between Cd2+ accumulation and the expression of MnPCSs are not observed. There might be some factor-dependent posttranscriptional regulation of PCS, like intron-mediated enhancement, and/or an optimum PCS level for tolerance to and accumulation of HMs in plants Morus notabilis
