In plants, Rab proteins represent the largest family of monomeric GTP-binding proteins (mG-proteins). As distinct from animal cells comprising 40 subfamilies of Rab proteins, which are the key regulators of intracellular vesicular transport, numerous Rab proteins in Arabidopsis and other plant species could be grouped in only eight subfamilies on the basis of their functional properties. The available data concerning the involvement of these mG-proteins in the control of vesicle trafficking agree generally with the paradigms accepted for other eukaryotes. On the other hand, these proteins play an important role in plant responses to abiotic and biotic factors, indicating specific for plants functions of Rab proteins. 相似文献

A bioassay is described for the study of inhibitory activity of plant proteins on fungal growth. Fungal spores were germinated in liquid growth medium and pipetted into wells of a microtitre plate. Fungal growth was followed spectrophotometrically. The bioassay was tested using crude protein extracts from plant tissues known to have high activities of chitinase and beta-1,3-glucanase, and with purified enzymes. Crude protein preparations and combinations of the purified enzymes produced a temporary reduction of growth but no permanent growth inhibition. 相似文献

Cytosine methylation is the most prevalent epigenetic modification of plant nuclear DNA, which occurs in symmetrical CpG or CpNpG as well as in non-symmetrical contexts. Intensive studies demonstrated the central role played by cytosine methylation in genome organization, gene expression and in plant growth and development. However, the way by which the methyl group is interpreted into a functional state has only recently begun to be explored with the isolation and characterization of methylated DNA binding proteins capable of binding 5-methylcytosine. These proteins belong to an evolutionary conserved protein family initially described in animals termed methyl-CpG-binding domain (MBD) proteins. Here, we highlight recent advances and present new prospects concerning plant MBD proteins and their possible role in controlling chromatin structure mediated by CpG methylation. 相似文献

Antifreeze proteins in higher plants 总被引:12,自引:0,他引:12
Overwintering plants produce antifreeze proteins (AFPs) having the ability to adsorb onto the surface of ice crystals and modify their growth. Recently, several AFPs have been isolated and characterized and five full-length AFP cDNAs have been cloned and characterized in higher plants. The derived amino acid sequences have shown low homology for identical residues. Theoretical and experimental models for structure of Lolium perenne AFP have been proposed. In addition, it was found that the hormone ethylene is involved in regulating antifreeze activity in response to cold. In this review, it is seen that the physiological and biochemical roles of AFPs may be important to protect the plant tissues from mechanical stress caused by ice formation. 相似文献

The ankyrin repeat (ANK) protein family plays a crucial role in plant growth and development and in response to biotic and abiotic stresses. However, no detailed information concerning this family is available for tomato (Solanum lycopersicum) due to the limited information on whole genome sequences. In this study, we identified a total of 130 ANK genes in tomato genome (SlANK), and these genes were distributed across all 12 chromosomes at various densities. And chromosomal localizations of SlANK genes indicated 25 SlANK genes were involved in tandem duplications. Based on their domain composition, all of the SlANK proteins were grouped into 13 subgroups. A combined phylogenetic tree was constructed with the aligned SlANK protein sequences. This tree revealed that the SlANK proteins comprise five major groups. An analysis of the expression profiles of SlANK genes in tomato in different tissues and in response to stresses showed that the SlANK proteins play roles in plant growth, development and stress responses. To our knowledge, this is the first report of a genome-wide analysis of the tomato ANK gene family. This study provides valuable information regarding the classification and putative functions of SlANK genes in tomato. 相似文献

Effects of rare earth elements and REE-binding proteins on physiological responses in plants 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
Rare earth elements (REEs), which include 17 elements in the periodic table, share chemical properties related to a similar external electronic configuration. REEs enriched fertilizers have been used in China since the 1980s. REEs could enter the cell and cell organelles, influence plant growth, and mainly be bound with the biological macromolecules. REE-binding proteins have been found in some plants. In addition, the chlorophyll activities and photosynthetic rate can be regulated by REEs. REEs could promote the protective function of cell membrane and enhance the plant resistance capability to stress produced by environmental factors, and affect the plant physiological mechanism by regulating the Ca2? level in the plant cells. The focus of present review is to describe how REEs and REE-binding proteins participate in the physiological responses in plants. 相似文献

Molecular farming of pharmaceutical proteins 总被引:38,自引:0,他引:38
Molecular farming is the production of pharmaceutically important and commercially valuable proteins in plants. Its purpose
is to provide a safe and inexpensive means for the mass production of recombinant pharmaceutical proteins. Complex mammalian
proteins can be produced in transformed plants or transformed plant suspension cells. Plants are suitable for the production
of pharmaceutical proteins on a field scale because the expressed proteins are functional and almost indistinguishable from
their mammalian counterparts. The breadth of therapeutic proteins produced by plants range from interleukins to recombinant
antibodies. Molecular farming in plants has the potential to provide virtually unlimited quantities of recombinant proteins
for use as diagnostic and therapeutic tools in health care and the life sciences. Plants produce a large amount of biomass
and protein production can be increased using plant suspension cell culture in fermenters, or by the propagation of stably
transformed plant lines in the field. Transgenic plants can also produce organs rich in a recombinant protein for its long-term
storage. This demonstrates the promise of using transgenic plants as bioreactors for the molecular farming of recombinant
therapeutics, including vaccines, diagnostics, such as recombinant antibodies, plasma proteins, cytokines and growth factors.

The plant cell apoplast, which consists of all the compartments beyond the plasma membrane, is implicated in a variety of functions during plant growth and development as well as in plant defence responses to stress conditions. To evaluate the role of apoplastic proteins in initial phase of salt stress, a 2-DE based differential proteomics approach has been used to identify apoplastic salt response proteins. Six salt response proteins have been identified, among them, an apoplastic protein OsRMC, which belongs to cysteine-rich repeat receptor like protein kinase subfamily but without the kinase domain, has shown drastically increased abundance in response to salt stress during the initial phase. Our results show, OsRMC negative regulates the salt tolerance of rice plants. These results indicated that plant apoplastic proteins may have important role in plant salt stress response signal pathway.Key words: rice, apoplast, proteomic, salt stress, receptor-like protein kinase, OsRMC 相似文献

Insulin regulates a wide range of metabolic processes in mammals, such as homeostasis and the breakdown of glucose. Recently, the existence of an insulin-related growth factor in maize (ZmIGF) and a possible receptor for this growth factor has been reported. This peptide exerts effects on plant growth and promotes germination by activating the target of rapamycin (TOR) signaling pathways, which is similar to the insulin response in mammals. In this study, we analyzed the insulin response in maize embryos using a proteomic approach. Our results indicated that insulin modulates the expression of proteins involved in processes, such as storage protein degradation, protein processing, redox and desiccation stress, and glucose metabolism. The involvement of TOR signaling pathways was analyzed using the TOR inhibitor, rapamycin. The results showed that the modulation of these proteins by insulin is independent of the TOR pathway. These results indicated that insulin promotes changes in metabolism-related proteins to ensure successful germination in maize. 相似文献
