As a usual response, plants induce/activate various proteins which are thought to be involved in defense mechanisms against the biotic and abiotic stresses they may be confronted with. The novel DUF538 domain containing proteins with unknown functions have been found to be induced/activated in response to different environmental stress stimuli in plants. In order to perform biochemical studies with these new plant stress-responsive proteins, a cDNA containing DUF538 domain was amplified from Celosia cristata full-length leaf expression library using a specific primer set. The isolated cDNA was subsequently expressed in Escherichia coli as a part of maltose-binding fusion protein (MBP-DUF538 construct) and purified at the yield of about 32 mg per liter of cell culture by affinity chromatography without affecting the recombinant bacterial cell growth. The purified fusion product was exogenously applied (10 μg per 4 cm2) on the leaves of Nicotiana tobaccum L. The results revealed that fused DUF538 protein does not induce morphological reposes, but elevates redox enzyme activities including catalase, peroxidase, polyphenol oxidase and phenyalanine ammonia lyase. This is the first time ever time report with respect to the heterologous expression of a plant stress-responsive DUF538 domain that may provide a basis to study its physiological roles and biochemical activities in vitro and in vivo.  相似文献

DUF538 domain-containing protein family consists of several plant proteins of unknown functions. This protein family has already been discovered by genome annotation tools and cloned as an inducible gene product under various environmental stress conditions. For the first time, we presented a full length DUF538 cDNA (encoding 170 amino acid residues) clone, which was randomly isolated from Celosia cristata leaf cDNA library constructed under normal growth conditions and consistently amplified from leaf cDNA populations prepared from nonstressed and drought-stressed leaves. We predicted that a DUF538 gene product can be a putative candidate for common stress-related protein (regulatory factor) in the plant system. The nucleotide and deduced amino acid sequences of the isolated clone have been submitted to EMBL data bases under accession no. AJ535713.  相似文献

The multifunctional‐autoprocessing repeats‐in‐toxin (MARTX) toxins are bacterial protein toxins that serve as delivery platforms for cytotoxic effector domains. The domain of unknown function in position 5 (DUF5) effector domain is present in at least six different species' MARTX toxins and as a hypothetical protein in Photorhabdus spp. Its presence increases the potency of the Vibrio vulnificus MARTX toxin in mouse virulence studies, indicating DUF5 directly contributes to pathogenesis. In this work, DUF5 is shown to be cytotoxic when transiently expressed in HeLa cells. DUF5 localized to the plasma membrane dependent upon its C1 domain and the cells become rounded dependent upon its C2 domain. Both full‐length DUF5 and the C2 domain caused growth inhibition when expressed in Saccharomyces cerevisiae. A structural model of DUF5 was generated based on the structure of Pasteurella multocida toxin facilitating localization of the cytotoxic activity to a 186 amino acid subdomain termed C2A. Within this subdomain, an alanine scanning mutagenesis revealed aspartate‐3721 and arginine‐3841 as residues critical for cytotoxicity. These residues were also essential for HeLa cell intoxication when purified DUF5 fused to anthrax toxin lethal factor was delivered cytosolically. Thermal shift experiments indicated that these conserved residues are important to maintain protein structure, rather than for catalysis. The Aeromonas hydrophila MARTX toxin DUF5Ah domain was also cytotoxic, while the weakly conserved C1–C2 domains from P. multocida toxin were not. Overall, this study is the first demonstration that DUF5 as found in MARTX toxins has cytotoxic activity that depends on conserved residues in the C2A subdomain.

Dicer or Dicer-like (DCL) protein is a catalytic component involved in microRNA (miRNA) or small interference RNA (siRNA) processing pathway, whose fragment structures have been partially solved. However, the structure and function of the unique DUF283 domain within dicer is largely unknown. Here we report the first structure of the DUF283 domain from the Arabidopsis thaliana DCL4. The DUF283 domain adopts an α-β-β-β-α topology and resembles the structural similarity to the double-stranded RNA-binding domain. Notably, the N-terminal α helix of DUF283 runs cross over the C-terminal α helix orthogonally, therefore, N- and C-termini of DUF283 are in close proximity. Biochemical analysis shows that the DUF283 domain of DCL4 displays weak dsRNA binding affinity and specifically binds to double-stranded RNA-binding domain 1 (dsRBD1) of Arabidopsis DRB4, whereas the DUF283 domain of DCL1 specifically binds to dsRBD2 of Arabidopsis HYL1. These data suggest a potential functional role of the Arabidopsis DUF283 domain in target selection in small RNA processing.  相似文献

Proteins containing a domain of unknown function 59 (DUF59) appear to have a variety of physiological functions, ranging from iron-sulfur cluster assembly to DNA repair. DUF59 proteins have been found in bacteria, archaea and eukaryotes, however Fam96a and Fam96b are the only mammalian proteins predicted to contain a DUF59 domain. Fam96a is an 18 kDa protein comprised primarily of a DUF59 domain (residues 31–157) and an N-terminal signal peptide (residues 1–27). Interestingly, the DUF59 domain of Fam96a exists as monomeric and dimeric forms in solution, and X-ray crystallography studies of both forms unexpectedly revealed two different domain-swapped dimer structures. Here we report the backbone resonance assignments and secondary structure of the monomeric form of the 127 residue DUF59 domain of human Fam96a. This study provides the basis for further understanding the structural variability exhibited by Fam96a and the mechanism for domain swapping.  相似文献

The dynamic responses of microtubules (MTs) to internal and external signals are modulated by a plethora of microtubule-associated proteins (MAPs). In higher plants, many plant-specific MAPs have emerged during evolution as advantageous to their sessile lifestyle. Some members of the IQ67 domain (IQD) protein family have been shown to be plant-specific MAPs. However, the mechanisms of interaction between IQD proteins and MTs remain elusive. Here we demonstrate that the domain of unknown function 4005 (DUF4005) of the Arabidopsis IQD family protein ABS6/AtIQD16 is a novel MT-binding domain. Cosedimentation assays showed that the DUF4005 domain binds directly to MTs in vitro. GFP-labeled DUF4005 also decorates all types of MT arrays tested in vivo. Furthermore, we showed that a conserved stretch of 15 amino acid residues within the DUF4005 domain, which shares sequence similarity with the C-terminal MT-binding domain of human MAP Kif18A, is required for the binding to MTs. Transgenic lines overexpressing the DUF4005 domain displayed a spectrum of developmental defects, including spiral growth and stunted growth at the organismal level. At the cellular level, DUF4005 overexpression caused defects in epidermal pavement cell and trichome morphogenesis, as well as abnormal anisotropic cell elongation in the hypocotyls of dark-grown seedlings. These data establish that the DUF4005 domain of ABS6/AtIQD16 is a new MT-binding domain, overexpression of which perturbs MT homeostasis in plants. Our findings provide new insights into the MT-binding mechanisms of plant IQD proteins.  相似文献

Plastid-encoded plastid RNA polymerase (PEP) is essential for chloroplast development and plastid gene expression in Arabidopsis thaliana. However, PEP is a large complex, and many proteins in this complex remain to be identified. We previously reported that Delayed Greening 238 (DG238) interacts with PEP subunit protein FLN1 and may function as a PEP-associated protein and participate in early chloroplast development and PEP-dependent plastid gene expression. DG238 contains Domain of Unknown Function 143 (DUF143), whose function is currently unknown. Here, we found that a deficiency of the DUF143 domain in DG238 affected its localization, which resulted in abnormal interactions with PEP-associated proteins in the chloroplast. Furthermore, DG238 lacking the DUF143 domain or DG238 with only this domain failed to function. Interestingly, the lack of conserved amino acids 193–217 of the DUF143 domain in DG238 also affected its function. In addition to FLN1, DG238 also interacts with other PEP-associated proteins, including FSD2, FSD3, MRL7-L, and MRL7, to regulate plastid gene expression. These results suggest that the DUF143 domain is necessary for the functioning of the PEP-associated protein DG238 in chloroplasts.  相似文献

Lipase maturation factor 1 (LMF1) is predicted to be a polytopic protein localized to the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) membrane. It functions in the post-translational attainment of enzyme activity for both lipoprotein lipase and hepatic lipase. By using transmembrane prediction methods in mouse and human orthologs, models of LMF1 topology were constructed and tested experimentally. Employing a tagging strategy that used insertion of ectopic glycan attachment sites and terminal fusions of green fluorescent protein, we established a five-transmembrane model, thus dividing LMF1 into six domains. Three domains were found to face the cytoplasm (the amino-terminal domain and loops B and D), and the other half was oriented to the ER lumen (loops A and C and the carboxyl-terminal domain). This representative model shows the arrangement of an evolutionarily conserved domain within LMF1 (DUF1222) that is essential to lipase maturation. DUF1222 comprises four of the six domains, with the two largest ones facing the ER lumen. We showed for the first time, using several naturally occurring variants featuring DUF1222 truncations, that Lmf1 interacts physically with lipoprotein lipase and hepatic lipase and localizes the lipase interaction site to loop C within DUF1222. We discuss the implication of our results with regard to lipase maturation and DUF1222 domain structure.  相似文献
