Arabinogalactanproteins (AGPs) are proteoglycans of the extracellular matrix o f most plants. Since the late 1980s, AGPs have attracted widespread attention from plant biologists following reports of their involvement in plant development. In particular, the use of monoclonal antibodies to carbohydrate epitopes of AGPs has demonstrated stage- and tissue-specificity and has led to suggestions that they are involved in tissue morphogenesis. The recent cloning of the genes for several AGP protein backbones allows us to consider new strategies to address their function. Here, we summarize our knowledge of AGPs and consider parallels with animal proteoglycans as a possible framework for future work. 相似文献

Two monoclonal antibodies (ZUM 15 and ZUM 18) directed against carrot (Daucus carota L.) seed arabinogalactan proteins (AGPs) were used to isolate specific AGP fractions. For both carrot and tomato (Lycopersicon esculentum Mill.) seed AGPs analyzed by crossedelectrophoresis, the ZUM 15 and ZUM 18 AGP fractions showed one identical peak. However, the Rf values for the two species were different: 0.82 for carrot seed AGPs and 0.52 for tomato seed AGPs. When the fractionated AGPs (carrot or tomato) were added to carrot cell lines they had a dramatic effect on the culture. One AGP fraction (ZUM 15 AGPs) was able to induce vacuolation of embryogenic cells. Those cells failed to produce embryos. The other AGP fraction (ZUM 18 AGPs) increased the percentage of embryognic cells from about 40% up to 80% within one week and this subsequently resulted in the formation of more embryos on hormone-free medium. This activity was higher than that of unfractionated carrot seed AGPs, while the optimum concentration was 50-fold lower. Since both ZUM 18 AGPs (carrot or tomato) yielded identical responses it can be concluded that neither the Rf value nor the source are essential for biological activity. The dose-response curve of ZUM 18 AGPs showed a sharp optimum. When the AGPs that also bound to the antibody ZUM 15 were removed, the dose-response curve of the remaining AGPs (containing only the ZUM 18 epitope, not the ZUM 15 epitope) resembled a saturation curve. Regardless of its concentration, the fraction in which AGP molecules contained both epitopes showed no appreciable embryogenesis-promoting activity. The biological activity of AGPs was therefore determined by the presence of embryogenesis-enhancing and-inhibiting epitopes. The inhibiting and enhancing epitopes can be located on separate molecules or one single AGP molecule. 相似文献

This paper reports the isolation of cDNAs encoding the protein backbone of two arabinogalactan-proteins (AGPs), one from pear cell suspension cultures (AGP Pc 2) and the other from suspension cultures of Nicotiana alata (AGP Na 2). The proteins encoded by these cDNAs are quite different from the 'classical' AGP backbones described previously for AGPs isolated from pear suspension cultures and extracts of N. alata styles. The cDNA for AGP Pc 2 encodes a 294 amino acid protein, of which a relatively short stretch (35 amino acids) is Hyp/Pro rich; this stretch is flanked by sequences which are dominated by Asn residues. Asn residues are not a feature of the 'classical' AGP backbones in which Hyp/Pro, Ser, Ala and Thr account for most of the amino acids. The cDNA for AGP Na 2 encodes a 437 amino acid protein, which contains two distinct domains: one rich in Hyp/Pro, Ser, Ala, Thr and the other rich in Asn, Tyr and Ser. The composition and sequence of the Pro-rich domain resembles that of the 'classical' AGP backbone. The Asn-rich domains of the two cDNAs described have no sequence similarity; in both cases they are predicted to be processed to give a mature backbone with a composition similar to that of the 'classical' AGPs. The study shows that different AGPs can differ in the amino acid sequence in the protein backbone, as well as the composition and sequence of the arabinogalactan side-chains. It also shows that differential expression of genes encoding AGP protein backbones, as well as differential glycosylation, can contribute to the tissue specificity of AGPs. 相似文献

Arabinogalactan proteins (AGPs) are proteoglycans secreted by plant cells that have been implicated in plant growth and development. Most AGPs cloned to date possess highly labile glycosylphosphatidylinositol (GPI) lipid anchors. These anchors transiently attach AGPs to the plasma membrane before they are released into the cell wall following GPI anchor hydrolysis. We have isolated and partially sequenced the protein core of an AGP purified from styles of Nicotiana alata. The protein sequence data were utilised to clone the AGP's gene, NaAGP4. This AGP shares about 78% sequence identity with the tomato AGP LeAGP-1. RNA gel blot analyses of different plant organs indicate that NaAGP4 is expressed in the same tissues and at similar levels as LeAGP-1. Furthermore, NaAGP4 like LeAGP-1 is rapidly suppressed by tissue wounding and by pathogen infection. We believe NaAGP4 and LeAGP-1 are the first described examples of orthologous AGPs from different plant species. In contrast, another AGP from N. alata, NaAGP1, is comparatively unaffected by wounding and pathogen infection, although this AGP is expressed in similar tissues and at similar levels as NaAGP4. 相似文献

Summary. Western blot analysis indicated the presence of two epitopes recognized by the anti-arabinogalactan protein antibodies JIM13
and LM2 and the absence of the JIM4 epitope in mature tobacco anthers. Immunoenzyme localization of arabinogalactan proteins
(AGPs) with JIM13 showed that AGPs accumulate mainly at the early stages of anther development. AGP content and distribution
were also investigated at the ultrastructural level in pollen tubes grown in vivo and in vitro. Abundant AGPs were present
in the transmitting tissue of styles, and the AGP content of the extracellular matrix changed during pollen tube growth. In
pollen tubes, immunogold particles were mainly distributed in the cell wall and cytoplasm, especially around the peripheral
region of the generative-cell wall. β-D-Glucosyl Yariv reagent, which specifically binds to AGPs, caused slow growth of pollen
tubes and reduced immunogold labeling of AGPs with JIM13 in vitro. These data suggest that AGPs participate in male gametogenesis
and pollen tube growth and may be important surface molecules in generative and sperm cells.

Arabinogalactan proteins (AGPs), a superfamily of plant hydroxyproline-rich glycoproteins, are present at cell surfaces. Although precise functions of AGPs remain elusive, they are widely implicated in plant growth and development. A well-characterized classical tomato (Lycopersicon esculentum) AGP containing a glycosylphosphatidylinositol plasma membrane anchor sequence was used here to elucidate functional roles of AGPs. Transgenic tobacco (Nicotiana tabacum) Bright Yellow-2 (BY-2) cells stably expressing green fluorescent protein (GFP)-LeAGP-1 were plasmolysed and used to localize LeAGP-1 on the plasma membrane and in Hechtian strands. Cytoskeleton disruptors and beta-Yariv reagent (which binds and perturbs AGPs) were used to examine the role of LeAGP-1 as a candidate linker protein between the plasma membrane and cytoskeleton. This study used a two-pronged approach. First, BY-2 cells, either wild type or expressing GFP-microtubule (MT)-binding domain, were treated with beta-Yariv reagent, and effects on MTs and F-actin were observed. Second, BY-2 cells expressing GFP-LeAGP-1 were treated with amiprophosmethyl and cytochalasin-D to disrupt MTs and F-actin, and effects on LeAGP-1 localization were observed. beta-Yariv treatment resulted in terminal cell bulging, puncta formation, and depolymerization/disorganization of MTs, indicating a likely role for AGPs in cortical MT organization. beta-Yariv treatment also resulted in the formation of thicker actin filaments, indicating a role for AGPs in actin polymerization. Similarly, amiprophosmethyl and cytochalasin-D treatments resulted in relocalization of LeAGP-1 on Hechtian strands and indicate roles for MTs and F-actin in AGP organization at the cell surface and in Hechtian strands. Collectively, these studies indicate that glycosylphosphatidylinositol-anchored AGPs function to link the plasma membrane to the cytoskeleton. 相似文献

A biochemical investigation of arabinogalactan proteins (AGPs) in Physcomitrella
patens was undertaken with particular emphasis on the glycan chains. Following homogenization and differential centrifugation of
moss gametophytes, AGPs were obtained by Yariv phenylglycoside-induced precipitation from the soluble, microsomal membrane,
and cell wall fractions. Crossed-electrophoresis indicated that each of these three AGP fractions was a mixture of several
AGPs. The soluble AGP fraction was selected for further separation by anion-exchange and gel-permeation chromatography. The
latter indicated molecular masses of ∼100 and 224 kDa for the two major soluble AGP subfractions. The AGPs in both of these
subfractions contained the abundant (1,3,6)-linked galactopyranosyl residues, terminal arabinofuranosyl residues, and (1,4)-linked
glucuronopyranosyl residues that are typical of many angiosperm AGPs. Unexpectedly, however, the moss AGP glycan chains contained
about 15 mol% terminal 3-O-methyl-l-rhamnosyl residues, which have not been found in angiosperm AGPs. This unusual and relatively nonpolar sugar, also called
l-acofriose, is likely to have considerable effects on the overall polarity of Physcomitrella AGPs. A review of the literature indicates that the capacity to synthesize polymers containing 3-O-methyl-l-rhamnosyl residues is present in a variety of bacteria, algae and lower land plants but became less common through evolution
to the extent that this sugar has been found in only a few species of angiosperms where it occurs as a single residue on steroidal
glycosides. 相似文献

Summary Arabinogalactan proteins (AGPs) are proteoglycans detected in high amounts at plant cell surfaces; however, details of their subcellular localization are largely unknown. Immunolocalization studies with the anti-AGP monoclonal antibody LM2 have indicated that this AGP epitope is associated with secretory compartments such as endoplasmic reticulum and Golgi apparatus within plant cells actively producing and secreting AGPs. The LM2 epitope contains a -linked glucuronic acid residue and occurs in the polysaccharide moiety of AGPs. We have localized this AGP epitope also to the tonoplast and to cytoplasmic strands. Endomembrane association of AGPs was confirmed with two other monoclonal antibodies, JIM13 and MAC207, both reacting with carbohydrate AGP epitopes containing GlcpA-(13)-D-GalpA-(12)-L-Rha residues. Immunocytochemistry is supported by biochemical analysis which shows that LM2 reacts with the microsomal fraction and also with low-molecular-weight material of the detergent phase after Triton X-114 phase separation prepared from maize roots. Our results indicate that some AGP epitopes are closely associated with endomembranes.Abbreviations AGP

Suspension cultures of Echinacea purpurea have been established in MS medium supplemented with 2,4-D and an arabinogalactan-protein (AGP) was purified from the secreted
soluble polymers by precipitation with ethanol, followed by precipitation with β-glucosyl Yariv reagent. It revealed typical
features of AGPs: a high amount of polysaccharide (90% w/w) with the dominating monosaccharides galactose and arabinose and
some glucuronic acid, and a small protein moiety (10% w/w) with the main amino acids Ala, Hyp, Glx, Ser, Asx and Thr. Linkage-
and NMR-analyses showed the polysaccharide part to be composed of a branched core-polysaccharide of 3-, 6- and 3,6-linked
Galp residues with terminal Araf, Arap, Galp and GlcAp residues. Compared to an AGP from pressed juice of the aerial parts of Echinacea purpurea, differences particularly in terminal arabinose mono- and oligosaccharides in arabinogalactan (AG) side branches could be
detected. Testing of different AGP-antibodies with both AGPs confirmed the results of the analytical investigations. Binding
of AGPs from plant and cell cultures to LM2, a monoclonal AGP-antibody reacting with a GlcA containing epitope, was comparable.
The reactivity of a monoclonal antibody raised against the AGP from the plant recognizing a galactan epitope was also nearly
similar with both AGPs. In contrast, polyclonal antibodies raised against the AGP from the plant and directed against an Araf-containing epitope of the AG side branches showed nearly no cross reactivity with the AGP from cell culture. 相似文献

AtAGP30, an arabinogalactan-protein in the cell walls of the primary root, plays a role in root regeneration and seed germination 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
Arabinogalactan-proteins (AGPs) are extracellular proteoglycans that are implicated in many plant growth and developmental processes, but in no case has a biological function been assigned to a particular AGP. AtAGP30 is a non-classical AGP core protein from Arabidopsis that is expressed only in roots. Analysis of the corresponding mutant, agp30, has revealed that the wild-type gene product is required in vitro for root regeneration and in planta for the timing of seed germination. The mutant shows a suppression of the abscisic acid (ABA)-induced delay in germination and altered expression of some ABA-regulated genes. This suggests that AtAGP30 functions in the ABA response. By analogy to proteoglycan-mediated regulation of growth-factor-signalling pathways in animals, our data indicate that phytohormone activity in plants can be modulated by AGPs. 相似文献

Arabinogalactan proteins (AGPs) are extracellular hydroxyproline-rich proteoglycans implicated in plant growth and development. The protein backbones of AGPs are rich in proline/hydroxyproline, serine, alanine, and threonine. Most family members have less than 40% similarity; therefore, finding family members using Basic Local Alignment Search Tool searches is difficult. As part of our systematic analysis of AGP function in Arabidopsis, we wanted to make sure that we had identified most of the members of the gene family. We used the biased amino acid composition of AGPs to identify AGPs and arabinogalactan (AG) peptides in the Arabidopsis genome. Different criteria were used to identify the fasciclin-like AGPs. In total, we have identified 13 classical AGPs, 10 AG-peptides, three basic AGPs that include a short lysine-rich region, and 21 fasciclin-like AGPs. To streamline the analysis of genomic resources to assist in the planning of targeted experimental approaches, we have adopted a flow chart to maximize the information that can be obtained about each gene. One of the key steps is the reformatting of the Arabidopsis Functional Genomics Consortium microarray data. This customized software program makes it possible to view the ratio data for all Arabidopsis Functional Genomics Consortium experiments and as many genes as desired in a single spreadsheet. The results for reciprocal experiments are grouped to simplify analysis and candidate AGPs involved in development or biotic and abiotic stress responses are readily identified. The microarray data support the suggestion that different AGPs have different functions. 相似文献

Arabinogalactan proteins (AGPs) are secreted or membrane-associated glycoproteins that have been operationally defined as binding to [beta]-glucosyl Yariv artificial antigen, being rich in arabinose and galactose, and containing high levels of alanine, serine, and hydroxyproline. Using an anti-AGP monoclonal antibody (MAC 207) bound to cyanogen bromide-activated Sepharose 4B, we have purified by immunoaffinity chromatography an extracellular AGP from the culture medium of suspension-cultured cells of carrot (Daucus carota). The apparent molecular mass of this highly glycosylated proteoglycan is 70 to 100 kD as judged by sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gels. Although its sugar analysis, [beta]-glucosyl Yariv binding, and high alanine, serine, and proline content are consistent with it being an AGP, the amino acid composition unexpectedly revealed this molecule to have no detectable hydroxyproline. This suggests that this glycoprotein is not a "classical" AGP, but represents the first example of a new class of hydroxyproline-poor AGPs. Deglycosylation of the AGP with anhydrous hydrogen fluoride revealed that the purified proteoglycan contains probably a single core protein with an apparent molecular mass of 30 kD. Direct visualization of the native AGP in the electron microscope showed ellipsoidal putative AGP monomers, approximately 25 nm by 15 nm, that showed a strong tendency to self assemble into higher-order structures. Upon desiccation, the glycosylated AGP formed paracrystalline arrays visible in the light microscope. Polarized Fourier transform infrared microspectroscopy of these arrays demonstrated a high degree of polarization of the sugar moieties under these conditions. These results put possible constraints on current models of AGP structure; a putative role for these novel AGPs as pectin-binding proteins is discussed. 相似文献

Successful male reproductive function in plants is dependent on the correct development and functioning of stamens and pollen. AGP6 and AGP11 are two homologous Arabidopsis genes encoding cell wall-associated arabinogalactan glycoproteins (AGPs). Both genes were found to be specifically expressed in stamens, pollen grains and pollen tubes, suggesting that these genes may play a role in male organ development and function. RNAi lines with reduced AGP6 and AGP11 expression were generated. These, together with lines harboring point mutations in the coding region of AGP6, were used to show that loss of function in AGP6 and AGP11 led to reduced fertility, at least partly as a result of inhibition of pollen tube growth. Our results also suggest that AGP6 and AGP11 play an additional role in the release of pollen grains from the mature anther. Thus, our study demonstrates the involvement of specific AGPs in pollen tube growth and stamen function. 相似文献

Arabinogalactan proteins (AGPs) are a family of hydroxyproline-rich glycoproteins (HRGP) ubiquitous in the plant kingdom. They are probably one of the most heterogeneous and complex families of macromolecules, making them able to perform different and multiple functions. Located at the plasma membrane–cell wall interface, AGPs are involved in several processes, from plant growth and development to reproduction. An additional function of AGPs in response to biotic and abiotic stress has been suggested by several studies. The purpose of this review is to summarize critically and analytically the available knowledge on the effects of abiotic stress (low and high temperatures, drought, flooding, anoxia and metal deficiency/toxicity) and biotic stress (bacteria, fungi, nematodes and viruses) on AGPs. A deeper understanding of the role of AGPs during these conditions can be an important tool for understanding AGP biology and for the possible development of efficient breeding strategies. 相似文献

Cell biological, structural, and genetic approaches have demonstrated the presence of arabinogalactan proteins (AGPs) in the moss Physcomitrella patens and provided evidence for their function in cell expansion and specifically in the extension of apical tip-growing cells. Inhibitor studies indicated that apical cell expansion in P. patens is blocked by synthetic AGP binding beta-glucosyl Yariv reagent (betaGlcYR). The anti-(1-->5)-alpha-L-arabinan monoclonal antibody LM6 binds to some AGPs in P. patens, to all plasma membranes, and to the cell wall surface at the most apical region of growing protonemal filaments. Moreover, LM6 labeling of cell walls at the tips of apical cells of P. patens was abolished in the presence of betaGlcYR, suggesting that the localized movement of AGPs from the plasma membrane to the cell wall is a component of the mechanism of tip growth. Biochemical and bioinformatic analyses were used to identify seven P. patens ESTs encoding putative AGP core proteins from homology with Arabidopsis thaliana, Brassica napus, and Oryza sativa sequences and from peptide fragments isolated from betaGlcYR-precipitated AGPs. Gene knockout by homologous recombination of one of these genes, P. patens AGP1, encoding a classical AGP core protein, resulted in reduced cell lengths in protonemal filaments, indicating a role for AGP1 in apical cell expansion in P. patens. 相似文献

Summary. Arabinogalactan proteins (AGPs) are a class of highly glycosylated proteins widely distributed in higher plants and thought
to be involved in plant growth and development. In the present paper, Western blotting with the monoclonal antibodies JIM4,
JIM13, and LM2 showed that JIM13 reacted best with total protein extracts from flowers and siliques of Arabidopsis thaliana. This monoclonal antibody was therefore used as a probe to localize the AGP epitope in zygotic embryos at different developmental
stages. Immunofluorescent labeling with JIM13 showed that AGPs were mainly distributed in the embryo proper and the top 1
to 2 cells and basal part of suspensors. The results of immunogold labeling confirmed the JIM13 epitope distribution in the
different cells of the suspensor. AGP immunofluorescence was also observed at the shoot apex meristem during transition from
the globular to the heart embryo stage, but this gradually disappeared after the torpedo stage. After (β-D-Glc)3 Yariv phenylglycoside (βGlcY), a synthetic reagent that specifically binds to AGPs, was added to A. thaliana ovule culture medium, the survival rate and frequency of development of ovules at the zygote stage decreased in a concentration-dependent
manner, with complete inhibition at 100 μM. The frequency of embryo differentiation from the globular stage to heart or later
stages also decreased sharply. When βGlcY was removed 24 h after inoculation, the inhibitory effects were reversible in a
concentration-dependent and time-dependent manner. The results show that βGlcY can inhibit embryo development and differentiation
in A. thaliana, and the inhibitory effects are concentration dependent and reversible, indicating that AGPs are involved in embryo differentiation
and shoot meristem formation. The possible roles of AGPs in A. thaliana zygotic embryo development are also discussed.

An arabinogalactan-protein (AGP) was purified from differentiating xylem of loblolly pine (Pinus taeda L.) and the N-terminal sequence used to identify a cDNA clone. The protein, PtaAGP3, was not coded for by any previously identified AGP-like genes. Moreover, PtaAGP3 was abundantly and preferentially expressed in differentiating xylem. The encoded protein contains four domains, a signal
peptide, a cleaved hydrophilic region, a region rich in serine, alanine, and proline/hydroxyproline, and a hydrophobic C-terminus.
It is postulated to contain a GPI (glycosylphosphatidylinositol) anchor site. If the protein is cleaved at the putative GPI
anchor site, as has been observed in other classical AGPs, all but the Ser-Ala-Pro/Hyp-rich domain may be missing from the
mature protein. Xylem-specific AGPs are hypothesized to be involved in xylem development.

In soybean (Glycine max (L.) Merr.) root nodules the level of hydroxyproline-containing molecules is developmentally regulated. Hydroxyproline accumulates in both nodule cortex and medulla. In the cortex, the hydroxyproline is mainly localized in the cell wall, presumably as extensin, but in the medulla it is mainly in the soluble fraction as an arabinogalactan protein (AGP). Nodule-specific AGPs are present at early nodulation. The highest concentration of AGP is in the nodule medulla, followed by nodule cortex, uninfected roots, leaves, flowers, pods and seeds. Root nodules and all organs of the soybean plant that were tested were found to express a tissue-specific set of arabinogalactan proteins.Abbreviation AGP
