    Notes: Abstract Nicotianamine is an intermediate for the biosynthesis of mugineic acid-family phytosiderophores (MAs) in the Gramineae and a key substance for iron metabolism in dicots. Nicotianamine synthase catalyzes the formation of nicotianamine from S-adenosylmethionine. Nicotianamine synthase activity was induced in barley roots at the 3rd day after withholding Fe supply and declined within one day followmg the supply of Fe3+-epihydroxymugineic acid. The induction of nicotianamine synthase activity by Fe-deficiency was observed also in sorghum, maize, and rye, and the level of nicotianamine synthase activity was highly associated with the MAs secreted among graminaceous plant tested. Therefore, the nicotianamine synthase gene may be a suitable candidate for making a transgenic plant tolerant to Fe-deficiency.

    Notes: Abstract Nicotianamine (NA), the key precursor of the mugineic acid family phytosiderophores (MAs), is synthesized from S-adenosylmethionine (SAM). The NA synthase was strongly induced by Fe-deficiency treatment, and the activity increased to the maximum level faster than the time of maximum level of MAs secretion and also before the appearance of severest chlorosis. The enzyme was mainly localized in the roots of barley. NA synthase had the optimum pH at 9.0, a molecular weight of about 40,000∼50,000 estimated by gel filtration or about 30,000 by SDS-PAGE. Using hydrophobic chromatography, hydroxylapatite chromatography, and preparative SDS-PAGE, NA synthase was purified as one band on SDS-PAGE.
