Glutamate decarboxylase (GAD) catalyzes the conversion of L-glutamate to ?-aminobutyric acid (GABA). A full-length cDNA encoding GAD (designated as PgGAD) was isolated and characterized from the root of Panax ginseng C. A. Meyer. The length cDNA of PgGAD was 1881 bp and contained a 1491 bp open reading frame (ORF) encoding a glutamate decarboxylase protein of 496 amino acids, possessing a Ser-X-X-Lys active site, which belongs to the GAD group. The deduced amino acid sequence of the PgGAD was classified in the plant GAD family and has 76-85% high similarity with other plants as like petunia, Arabidopsis, tomato. Secondary structure of PgGAD was predicted by using SOPMA software program. Southern blot analysis of genomic DNA suggests that, there is more than one copy of the PgGAD gene. The organ specific gene expression pattern also studied in P. ginseng seedlings, in which the stem showed elevated expression than root, leaf, bud and rhizomes. Along with this, we also confirmed the gene expression of PgGAD under various abiotic stresses like temperature stress, osmotic stress, anoxia, oxidative stress, and mechanical damage. Temporal analysis of gene expression except exposure of oxidative stress revealed an enhanced expression after each stresses. The enzyme activity of PgGAD was stimulated to 2-fold under cold stress.
