A root-specific cDNA clone, PVR3, was isolated from a bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) root cDNA library by a differential screening procedure. The nucleotide sequence of PVR3 contains an open reading frame coding for an 11.14 kDa polypeptide of 102 amino acid residues; the first 25 amino acids correspond to the sequence characteristic of a signal peptide. Comparison of the deduced PVR3 polypeptide sequence with the polypeptide sequences of previously cloned genes indicates that PVR3 may encode a ns-LTP-like protein. Molecular modelling of the PVR3 protein predicts that it has a three-dimensional structure that is similar to the three-dimensional model determined from the maize ns-LTP. The PVR3 mRNA accumulated mainly in the roots of young seedlings. It can be detected at low levels in flowers, but it is not detected in other organs. Genomic Southern blot analysis indicates that the genomic DNA corresponding to PVR3 cDNA is encoded by a single gene or small gene family in the bean genome. 相似文献

The cDNA of a decapentaplegic (dpp) orthologue from the sawfly, Athalia rosae (Hymenoptera), was cloned and characterized. The clone (Ar dpp) was 2,566 bp long and encoded 395 amino acids in a single open reading frame. Genomic Southern blotting showed that Ar dpp is a single copy gene. The deduced amino acid sequence can be aligned along its entire length with known insect DPPs. It shared common characteristics such as a signal sequence, a pro-domain region, and a ligand domain with seven cysteines at conserved locations. Ar dpp was expressed as a single 5.0-kb mRNA in embryos, larvae, pupae and adults. In situ hybridization showed that Ar dpp was expressed in the dorsal region proper in early embryonic stages and in the embryonic appendages of cephalic segments (labrum, antenna, mandible, maxilla, and labium), thoracic segments (thoracic legs), and all abdominal segments except the tenth segment (pleuropodia and proleg primordia). The present results indicate that Ar dpp expression reflects the primary determination of embryonic appendages.Edited by D.

A gene (EGL2) encoding an endo-1,4-β-glucanase in peas has been cloned as a homologue of EGL1. EGL2 encodes a polypeptide of 506 amino acids, including a 24-mer putative signal polypeptide. The gene product contains a domain conserved in endo-1,4-β-glucanase (family 9) showing 60% amino acid identity to EGL1. EGL2 mRNA was accumulated only in the elongating regions of pea stems, although EGL1 mRNA was abundant in both elongating and non-elongating tissues. However, the level of EGL2 mRNA was not increased by the treatment with sucrose and auxin in pea segments. These results suggest that the expression of EGL2 either requires the presence of other factors related to the auxin effect or occurs independent of auxin in the elongating pea stems. 相似文献

We have isolated and sequenced a cDNA clone encoding the apoprotein of a potato phytochrome. Based on the deduced amino acid sequence, which shows 78% amino acid identity to the Arabidopsis phyA and 50% identity to the Arabidopsis phyB open reading frame, we have classified this cDNA clone as potato phyA phytochrome. The amino acid immediately preceding cysteine 323, which is the homologue of oat cystein 321, to which the chromophore has been shown to be attached, is a tyrosine residue. This contrasts with six other type A phytochrome sequences from both monocots and dicots that encode serine in this position. As already observed in three other cDNAs isolated from dicot species, the potato phyA clone encodes a short open reading frame (13 amino acids) preceding the phyA open reading frame (1123 amino acids), supporting the idea that this type of leader sequence might be involved in the regulated expression of the phytochrome apoprotein. Southern blot analysis revealed a single phyA gene as well as other related phytochrome sequences in the potato genome. phyA mRNA levels varied in different organs and were modulated by white light; in seedlings and sprouts, highest levels of mRNA were detected in the etiolated stage. Upon illumination with white light, mRNA levels decreased to the amount found in leaves of re-etiolated plants. Lowest expression was observed in leaves of plants grown in the light, in tubers irrespective of light treatment, and in roots of plants grown in the dark. In roots of plants grown in the light, elevated levels of phyA mRNA were detected. Using a monoclonal antibody generated against pea phytochrome as an immunochemical probe, the protein was only detectable in protein extracts from etiolated seedlings and sprouts. 相似文献

Pea dehydrins: identification,characterisation and expression 总被引:3,自引:0,他引:3
An antiserum raised against dehydrin from maize (Zea mays) recognised several polypeptides in extracts of pea (Pisum sativum) cotyledons. A cDNA expression library was prepared from mRNA of developing cotyledons, screened with the antiserum and positive clones were purified and characterised. The nucleotide sequence of one such clone, pPsB12, contained an open reading frame which would encode a polypeptide with regions of significant amino acid sequence similarity to dehydrins from other plant species.The deduced amino acid sequence of the pea dehydrin encoded by B12 is 197 amino acids in length, has a high glycine content (25.9%), lacks tryptophan and is highly hydrophilic. The polypeptide has an estimated molecular mass of 20.4 kDa and pI=6.4. An in vitro synthesised product from the clone comigrates with one of the in vivo proteins recognised by the antiserum.A comparison of the pea dehydrin sequence with sequences from other species revealed conserved amino acid regions: an N-terminal DEYGNP and a lysine-rich block (KIKEKLPG), both of which are present in two copies. Unexpectedly, pea dehydrin lacks a stretch of serine residues which is conserved in other dehydrins.B12 mRNA and dehydrin proteins accumulated in dehydration-stressed seedlings, associated with elevated levels of endogenous abscisic acid (ABA). Applied ABA induced expression of dehydrins in unstressed seedlings. Dehydrin expression was rapidly reversed when seedlings were removed from the stress or from treatment with ABA and placed in water.During pea cotyledon development, dehydrin mRNA and proteins accumulated in mid to late embryogenesis. Dehydrin proteins were some of the most actively synthesised at about the time of maximum fresh weight and represent about 2% of protein in mature cotyledons. 相似文献

A cDNA clone (RaRO47) encoding a sulfotransferase (ST) has been isolated from Arabidopsis cell suspensions. The deduced polypeptide of 302 amino acids is highly related to plant flavonol sulfotrans-ferases (FSTs), characterized for the first time in Flaveria, and also to STs from animal tissue. The expression of the Arabidopsis ST gene(s) corresponding to RaR047 was examined during different developmental stages. It was found that, at the level of steady-state mRNA, expression of gene(s) encoding this ST was rapidly induced in the aerial parts of young seedlings, and during growth of Arabidopsis cell cultures. No expression could be detected in roots. Treatment of Arabidopsis seedlings with hormonal or stress-related compounds, showed that RaR047 mRNA accumulation was more particularly induced in response to salicylic acid and methyl jasmonate. Furthermore, in the leaves of mature plants or in cell suspensions, accumulation of RaR047 mRNA was observed upon infection with bacterial pathogens. This expression was observed preferentially in response to avirulent pathogens causing an hyper-sensitive reaction, as compared to virulent pathogens, which lead to disease. 相似文献

N2-fixing cyanobacteria are unique in their capacity to form symbiotic associations with a wide range of eukaryotic hosts belonging
to different plant groups. The present study was undertaken to analyze the interactions of the cyanobiont PI 01 (from Azolla pinnata) and Nostoc PCC 9229 (from Gunnera monoika) with wheat seedlings, in co-culturing experiments. Each of the cyanobionts enhanced significantly the volume of root and
shoot biomass in the experimental cultures. The transverse sections of roots in the co-cultured seedlings revealed the presence
of aseriate packets of cyanobionts below the root epidermis. The investigated cyanobionts excreted amino acids (His, Met,
Val) and sugars into the medium, while indoleacetic acid was detected when the cyanobionts were grown in a tryptophan containing
medium. During the co-culturing, sugars and proline were detected in the extracellular filtrates. It can be hypothesized that
these sugars and amino acids may serve as signal substances in the development of functional associations between the relevant
cyanobionts and the wheat seedlings. 相似文献

The regulation of a mRNA encoding a shoot-specific polypeptide from developing pea seedlings was studied and compared to the
regulation of mRNAs encoding two major light-induced nuclear-encoded polypeptides, the small subunit of the ribulose 1,5 biphosphate
carboxylase (ssRuBPCase) and a polypeptide of the light-harvesting chlorophyll a/b complex (LHCP). By using cDNA clones as
probes in Northern blottings of total cellular RNA it was found that both ssRuBPCase and LHCP mRNA could be induced in shoots
by white and red light but to lower levels in roots and cotyledons. In contrast, the mRNA for the shoot-specific polypeptide
was only found in shoots, and was present approximately two days after the start of germination. The shoot-specific mRNA sequence
was predominantly found in stem tissue, irrespective of illumination, both in the young seedlings and adult plants. Only very
low amounts could be detected in plumule and leaf. The shoot-specific sequence could also be detected in RNA isolated from
developing shoots of another pea cultivar but not in those of other legumes and of cereals. The primary sequence of the complete
coding portion and the deduced amino acid sequence of the mRNA encoding the shoot-specific polypeptide was determined. The
observed codon usage is non-random and is consistent with data from other high plant genes. Possible polyadenylation signal
sequences (AATAAG and AATAAT) were present at 55 and 124 bases 5′ of the poly(A) tail. The polypeptide encoded by the shoot-specific
mRNA consists of 196 amino acids with a calculated molecular weight of 21 898. It contains a four times reiterated highly
conserved unit of 26 amino acids. The NH2-terminal end is highly hydrophobic and resembles a signal polypeptide. 相似文献

A cDNA clone encoding a lectin was isolated by immunological screening of an expression library prepared from poly(A)+ RNA from the inner bark ofRobinia pseudoacacia. The cDNA clone (RBL104) had an open reading frame of 858 bp that encoded a polypeptide with a predicted molecular weight of 31210. This molecular weight corresponded closely to that of a polypeptide immunoprecipitated from products of translationin vitro of the poly(A)+ RNA. Thus, RBL104 appeared to be a full-length cDNA. The N-terminal amino acid sequence of the purified lectin protein matched a portion of the predicted amino acid sequence. It appeared that the lectin was synthesized as a precursor that consisted of a putative signal peptide of 31 amino acids and a mature polypeptide of 255 amino acids. Southern blot analysis of the genomic DNA revealed that the lectin was encoded by a small multigene family. The lectin was mostly localized in the axial and ray parenchymal cells of the inner bark. A small amount of lectin was also found in the axial and ray parenchymal cells of the xylem. The lectin accumulated in the inner bark in September, remained at high levels during the winter and disappeared in May. The mRNA for the lectin was detected from August to the following March. The appearance and disappearance of the mRNA were observed prior to those of the lectin protein. 相似文献

Soybean [Glycine max (L.) Merr.] is the single largest source of protein in animal feed. However, few studies have been conducted to evaluate
genomic regions controlling amino acid composition in soybean. It is important to study the genetics of amino acid composition
to achieve improvements through breeding. The objectives of this study were to determine the ratios between essential to non-essential
(E:NE) and essential to total (E:T) amino acids, and to identify genomic regions controlling essential and non-essential amino
acid composition in soybean seed. To achieve these objectives, 101 F6-derived recombinant inbred lines (RIL) developed from a cross of N87-984-16 × TN93-99 were used. Ground soybean seed samples
were analyzed for amino acids using a near infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) instrument. A significant (p < 0.01) difference among the RIL was found for amino acid composition. Heritability estimates on an entry mean basis ranged
from 0.13 for His to 0.67 for Tyr. A total of 94 polymorphic simple sequence repeat (SSR) molecular genetic markers were screened
in DNA from progenies. Single factor ANOVA was used to identify candidate quantitative trait loci (QTL), which were then confirmed
by QTL Cartographer. At least one QTL for each amino acid was detected in this population. QTL linked to molecular markers
Satt143, Satt168, Satt203, Satt274 and Satt495 were associated with most of the amino acids. Phenotypic variation explained
by an individual QTL ranged from 9.4 to 45.3%. QTL detected for amino acids in soybean in this experiment are expected to
be useful for future breeding programs targeting development of improved soybean amino acid composition for human and animal
nutrition. 相似文献

The changes in endogenous proline levels of Raphanus sativus L. seedlings was monitored in presence of exogenous amino acids in normal and osmotically stressed seedlings. In unstressed
seedlings, proline uptake was detected only at higher (1 mM) concentration of applied L-proline. however, proline uptake was
promoted at all (1 μM to 1000 μM) concentrations of applied L-proline under osmotic stress conditions. Amongst other exogenous
amino acids, L-leucine, L-glutamic acid, L-alanine, and L-histidine enhanced endogenous levels of proline, while exogenous
hydorxyproline and γ-amino butyric acid reduced it. 相似文献

Pectobacterium chrysanthemi PY35 secretes the endoglucanase Cel5Z, an enzyme of the glycoside hydrolase family 5. Cel5Z is a 426 amino acid, signal peptide (SP)-containing protein composed of two domains: a large N-terminal catalytic domain (CD; 291 amino acids) and a small C-terminal cellulose binding domain (CBD; 62 amino acids). These two domains are separated by a 30 amino acid linker region (LR). A truncated cel5Z gene was constructed with the addition of a nonsense mutation that removes the C-terminal region of the protein. A truncated Cel5Z protein, consisting of 280 amino acid residues, functioned as a mature enzyme despite the absence of the SP, 11 amino acid CD, LR, and CBD region. In fact, this truncated Cel5Z protein showed an enzymatic activity 80% higher than that of full-length Cel5Z. However, cellulase activity was undetectable in mature Cel5Z proteins truncated to less than 280 amino acids. 相似文献

A cDNA clone for a pathogenesis-related protein 1 from barley 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
A barley cDNA clone (PRb-1) corresponding to an mRNA differentially induced in resistant compared to susceptible barley cultivars by powdery mildew infection was isolated and characterised. The deduced amino acid sequence revealed 24 amino acids comprising the signal peptide and 140 amino acids of the mature peptide (15 kDa). This showed close homology to PR-1-like proteins, which have been isolated from maize, tobacco, tomato and Arabidopsis thaliana. Northern blot analysis showed accumulation of the corresponding mRNA 12 h after inoculation of resistant barley cultivars with Erysiphe graminis. Increased expression of the PRb-1 gene was also observed in resistant compared with near-isogenic susceptible barley plants following treatment with ethylene, salicylic acid, methyl jasmonate and 2,6-dichloro-isonicotinic acid. 相似文献
