4 ABSTRACT Nitrate reductase (NR) is the first enzyme involved in the pathway of nitrate assimilation in plants. It converts nitrate to nitrite. By including the serine protease inhibitor, chymostatin, in the extraction buffer, NR from maize (Zea mays L.) roots was stabilized ~n vitro. Contrary to early results, it was found in substantial amounts in the mature regions of the root. Two isozymes of NR were identified, an NADH monospecific form found predominantly in the root tip, and an NAD(P)H bispecific form which was predominant in the mature portion of the roots. Both isozymes were found to reach substantial levels of activity, approximately one-third to one-half the levels found in shoots. The levels of NR activity in both shoots and roots varied with the age of the plants and the conditions of growth. Subsequent purification and biochemical characterization of the two isozymes suggested similarities in the characteristics of the isozymes. However, the NADH form had an exceptionally high ~ for NADH which suggests that the NADH:NR may not be active in the iii
5 assimilatior. of nitrate as it may not be able to compete with other dehydrogenases for reductant. A partial cdna clone of root NR was isolated, sequenced and identified as a gene distinct from the gene which codes for NR in maize leaves. The NR in maize roots was affected in a positive manner by nitrate at the levels of activity and transcription. However, it did not appear to be affected by either a diurnal rhythm or directly by light, as was found for leaf NR. Through the use of the tissue print hybridization technique, NR mrna was found to be expressed throughout the maize root with the exception of the root tip. In conclusion, NR in maize roots is present in high enough amounts to account for a substantial level of nitrate reduction in the roots, suggesting that maize roots have an important role in the overall metabolism of nitrate in maize. iv
6 ACKNOWLE~NTS There are many people whom I would like to thank for their support and guidance throughou~ my studies. In particular, I would like to thank Dr. Ann Oaks for her supervision, guidance and constant support throughout my graduate work. I would also like to thank Dr. steven Rothstein for accepting me into his lab for the duration of my stay at the University of Guelph and for assisting in the supervision of my project during that time. I would like to thank Dr. John Greenwood and Dr. John Lott for serving on my Supervisory committee and I thank them both for their support, advice and assistance in My training as a graduate student. I would like to acknowledge the friendship and assistance of many individuals at McMaster University and the University of Guelph with special thanks for the technical assistance and guidance of Valerie Goodfellow, Lisa Thomson and Dr. Caroline Bowsher. Finally, I would like to acknowledge the support and constant encouragment of my husband, Emad, and my family. It is through their support, and that of my friends, that I have been able to reach my goals. v
