The cDNA code of thioredoxin h, designated as HbTRX1, was isolated from Hevea brasiliensis by rapid amplification of cDNA ends. HbTRX1 contained a 542-bp open reading frame encoding 123 amino acids. The deduced HbTRX1 protein showing high identity to thioredoxin h of other plant species was predicted to possess the conserved catalytic site WCXPC. Semiquantitative reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction analysis revealed that HbTRX1 was constitutively expressed in all tested tissues. HbTRX1 transcripts accumulated at relatively low levels in the flower, somatic embryo, and leaves, while HbTRX1 transcripts accumulated at relatively high levels in the callus and latex. The HbTRX1 transcript was expressed at different levels, with higher levels in self-rooting juvenile clones than in their donor clones. HbTRX1 was expressed in Escherichia coli, and its activity was demonstrated using the dithiothreitol-dependent insulin assay. This work provides a basis for studying the biological function of thioredoxin h in rubber tree.
