Elucidation of the roles of GABA in Tomato Fruit 060727 Takashi AKIHIRO Food for specified health use (FOSHU) Permission from Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare billion € 47.1 € 40.4 € 33.7 €27.0 € 20.3 €13.4 € 6.7 In vertebrates, GABA is an inhibitory neurotransmitter in the brain GABA Gamma-aminobutyric acid\ Fig. 1. Sequence alignment of GADs from various plants. Identical and similar amino acid residues are indicated by black and gray boxes, respectively. Gaps are shown by hyphens. the C-terminal peptide extension that is unique to plant GADs is shown by a dashed line. Table 1. Homology comparisons between tomato GADs Fig. 2. Alignment of the amino acid sequences of the C-terminus of plant GADs. OsGAD1 LeGADA OsGAD2 Petunia LeGADB Lotus LeGADF Brassica juncea Fig. 3. Structural features of C-terminal portions of GADs from tomato, rice, lotus Indian mustard and petunia. GABAT Fig. 4. Sequence alignment of GABATs from tomato and Arabidopsis. Identical and similar amino acid residues are indicated by black and gray boxes, respectively. Gaps are shown by hyphens. Table 2. Prediction of the subcellular location of GABATs using TargetP, MitoProII,PSORT and PSORTII program. SSADH Fig. 5. Sequence alignment of SSADHs from tomato and Arabidopsis. Identical and similar amino acid residues are indicated by black and gray boxes, respectively. Gaps are shown by hyphens. Table 3. Prediction of the subcellular location of SSADHs using TargetP SSR Fig. 6. Sequence alignment of SSRs from tomato and Arabidopsis. Identical and similar amino acid residues are indicated by black and gray boxes, respectively. Gaps are shown by hyphens. Table 4. Prediction of the subcellular location of SSRs using TargetP Fig. 7.
