Plants activate glutathione (GSH)-dependent detoxification pathways at biochemical and molecular levels under boron (B) toxicity. Sulfate uptake and transport are necessary for GSH biosynthesis in plants. Therefore, the transcriptional regulation of some sulfate transporters was determined in this study to clarify the importance of these transporters in leaf and root tissues of Arabidopsis thaliana under toxic B conditions. The expression level of SULTR1;3 was dramatically increased in leaf and root tissues under moderate and severe toxic B conditions, suggesting source-to-sink sulfate translocation under B toxicity. Stable expression levels of SULTR2;1, SULTR2;2, and low SULTR3;5 expression might restrict the sulfate movement into the xylem in leaves. SULTR3;1, SULTR3;2, SULTR3;3, SULTR3;4, SULTR4;1 and SULTR4;2 were induced in root tissues under toxic B conditions, indicating an induction of root-to-shoot sulfate translocation. These results showed that B toxicity might disrupt the homogeneous distribution of sulfate and sulfur-containing compounds in both tissues of A. thaliana. Moreover, we performed in silico analysis of microarray experiments to determine the common differentially expressed genes (DEGs) under B toxicity and sulfur deficiency. Gene ontology, hierarchical clustering, and coexpression network analyses of these DEGs demonstrated the requirement of sulfate transporters under B toxicity. A set of genes involved in sulfur metabolism coexpress with sulfate transporters under B toxicity. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first report focusing on the molecular regulation of sulfate transporters in Arabidopsis thaliana under B toxicity.

Physiological, Biochemical, and Transcriptomic Responses to Boron Toxicity in Leaf and Root Tissues of Contrasting Wheat Cultivars
Kayihan, Ceyhun; Oz, Mehmet Tufan; EYİDOĞAN, FÜSUN; Yucel, Meral; Öktem, Hüseyin Avni (2017-02-01)
In this study, we examined physiological, biochemical, and transcriptomic responses to toxic boron (B) treatment in leaves and roots of two wheat cultivars in order to gain better insight into B response or tolerance mechanisms. Delayed development and reduced vigor caused by high B were not observed in leaves and roots of both cultivars. Length, wet weight, and dry weight were not markedly changed under B toxicity. In leaves, when compared to control, 995 and 892 genes were significantly expressed at least...
Carbon sources affect metabolic capacities of Bacillus species for the production of industrial enzymes: theoretical analyses for serine and neutral proteases and alpha-amylase
Çalık, Pınar (Elsevier BV, 2001-07-01)
The metabolic fluxes through the central carbon pathways were calculated for the genus Bacillus separately for the enzymes serine alkaline protease (SAP), neutral protease (NP) and alpha -amylase (AMY) on five carbon sources that have different reduction degrees (gamma), to determine the theoretical ultimate limits of the production capacities of Bacillus species and to predict the selective substrate for the media design. Glucose (gamma = 4.0), acetate (gamma = 4.0), and the TCA cycle organic-acids succina...
Physiological, biochemical and molecular analysis of wheat cultivars under boron treatments
Kayıhan, Ceyhun; Yücel, Ayşe Meral; Eyidoğan, Füsun; Department of Biotechnology (2014)
Many studies have described the physiological, biochemical and molecular responses to boron (B) toxicity and deficiency individually in plants. However, overall pattern of gene expression changes and their physiological and biochemical significances after high B, low B and supplementing artificial B-enriched fertilizer (Tarımbor) application have not been proposed up till now. In the present study, we assessed global changes in gene expression of two wheat cultivars Bolal-2973 and Atay-85 differing in their ...
Biological effects of tolerable level chronic boron intake on transcription factors
BOYACIOĞLU, SEDA ÖRENAY; KORKMAZ, MEHMET; Kahraman, Erkan; Yildirim, Hatice; Bora, Selin; Ataman, Osman Yavuz (2017-01-01)
The mechanism of boron effect on human transcription and translation has not been fully understood. In the current study it was aimed to reveal the role of boron on the expression of certain transcription factors that play key roles in many cellular pathways on human subjects chronically exposed to low amounts of boron. The boron concentrations in drinking water samples were 1.57 +/- 0.06 mg/l for boron group while the corresponding value for the control group was 0.016 +/- 0.002 mg/l. RNA isolation was per...
Regulatory effects of alanine-group amino acids on serine alkaline protease production by recombinant Bacillus licheniformis
Çalık, Pınar; Ozdamar, TH (Wiley, 2003-04-01)
Influences of the concentration and addition time of alanine-group amino acids, i.e. alanine, leucine and valine, on serine alkaline protease (SAP) synthesis were investigated by Bacillus licheniformis (DSM 1969) carrying pHV1431::subC in a defined medium to identify the amino acids creating intracellular reaction-rate limitation in SAP production. While the precursors of alanine-group amino acids, pyruvate and alanine, did not affect SAP production considerably within the range 0-15 mM, the addition of leu...
