Treatment of excised marrow (Cucurbita pepo L., zucchini) cotyledons with methyl ester of jasmonic acid (MeJA) had no effect on their growth in darkness. On the other
hand, MeJA induced the synthesis of three polypeptides (69, 60 and 43 kDa) and stimulated the accumulation of other polypeptides
(97.4 and 53 kDa). These changes in the polypeptide profile were accompanied by a suppression of total protein and RNA synthesis
as well as the activity of nuclear RNA polymerases. In contrast to MeJA, N6-benzylaminopurine (BAP) significantly enhanced cotyledon growth and stimulated protein and RNA synthesis. Furthermore, BAP,
when applied together with MeJA, was able to counteract some effects of MeJA including the appearance of specific MeJA-induced
polypeptide bands.

Exposure of antimycin-treated Complex III (ubiquinol-cytochromec reductase) purified from bovine heart mitochondria to [3H]succinic anhydride plus [35S]p-diazobenzenesulfonate (DABS) resulted in somewhat uniform relative labeling of the eight measured subunits of the complex by [3H]succinic anhydride. In contrast, relative labeling by [35S]DABS was similar to [3H]succinic anhydride for the subunits of high molecular mass, i.e., core proteins, cytochromes, and the iron-sulfur protein, but greatly reduced for the polypeptides of molecular mass below 15 kDa. With Complex III depleted in the iron-sulfur protein the relative labeling of core protein I by exposure of the complex to [3H]succinic anhydride was significantly enhanced, whereas labeling of the polypeptides represented by SDS-PAGE bands 7 and 8 was significantly inhibited. Dual labeling of the subunits of Complex III by14C- and3H-labeled succinic anhydride before and after dissociation of the complex by sodium dodecyl sulfate, respectively, was measured with the complex in its oxidized, reduced, and antimycin-inhibited states. Subunits observed to be most accessible or reactive to succinic anhydride were core protein II, the iron-sulfur protein, and polypeptides of SDS-PAGE bands 7, 8, and 9. Two additional polypeptides of molecular masses 23 and 12 kDa, not normally resolved by gel-electrophoresis, were detected. Reduction of the complex resulted in a significant change of14C/3H labeling ratio of core protein only, whereas treatment of the complex with antimycin resulted in decreases in14C/3H labeling ratios of core proteins I and II, cytochromec
1, and a polypeptide of molecular mass 13 kDa identified as an antimycin-binding protein. 相似文献

Several polypeptides were induced in leaves of Sesbania sesban var. bicolor under water stress (desiccation). Among them, the SDS-PAGE resolved a few high molecular mass polypeptides along with one major of 66 kDa. After boiling the total protein fraction, some low molecular mass polypeptides (10 – 30 kDa) as well as the one of 66 kDa remained stable. The latter (66 kDa) polypeptide is also regulated by exogenous application of ABA, indicating its significant role in adaptation of sesban to drought. 相似文献

To elucidate the molecular basis of symptom expression in virus-infected plants, the changes in proteins between tobacco, Nicotiana tabacum cv. Ky57, leaves inoculated with cucumber mosaic virus strain Y [CMV(Y)] and strain O [CMV(O)], were compared by 2-dimensional (2-D) gel electrophoresis. The appearance of chlorotic spots in CMV(Y)-inoculated tobacco leaves accompanied an increase of 3 polypeptides and a decrease in 6 polypeptides, as compared with those in the CMV(O)-inoculated tobacco which showed no clear symptoms. The decrease in the amounts of two polypeptides of 22 and 23 kDa was particularly significant: these two polypeptides were compared with a 24 kDa polypeptide, which co-migrated with them in 2-D gel electrophoresis but did not clearly decrease at an early stage of infection, as well as major other proteins of CMV(Y)-inoculated tobacco leaves. However, the 22, 23 and 24 kDa polypeptides showed the same peptide mapping pattern. Furthermore, the 12 amino acid residues at N-termini of the three polypeptides match those of the extrinsic 23 kDa polypeptide of an oxygen-evolving complex from spinach. A comparative analysis of the 22, 23 and 24 kDa polypeptides in N. tabacum and its ancestral parents, N. sylvestris and N. tomentosiformis, revealed that the 22 kDa polypeptide derives from N. sylvestris and the 23 kDa polypeptide from N. tomentosiformis; the 24 kDa polypeptide derives from both ancestral Nicotiana species. The results indicate that the polypeptides whose amounts differentially decrease with the progress of symptom expression in N. tabacum inoculated with CMV(Y) are one component of the oxygen-evolving complex in photosystem II. 相似文献

A total storage protein fraction was prepared from mustard (Sinapis alba L.) seeds via isolated protein bodies and characterized by sedimentation, immunological, and electrophoretic techniques. Mustard seed storage protein consists of three fractions (1) a “legumin-like” 13-S complex composed of two pairs of disulfide-linked polypeptides (16.5 + 28.5 kDa and 19.5 + 34 kDa, respectively) and two single polypeptides (18 kDa and 26 kDa), (2) a “vicilin-like” 9-S complex composed of two glycoproteins (64 kDa and 77 kDa), and (3) two small polypeptides (10 kDa and 11 kDa) which probably represent the 1.7-S complex found in other Cruciferae. In contrast to related species, no glycosylated polypeptide was found in the 13-S complex. Immunological relationships were found between the paired polypeptides of the 13-S complex but not between polypeptides of the 13-S complex and polypeptides of the 9-S complex. Pulse-chase labeling and in vitro translation of polysomal RNA from young embryos demonstrated that the polypeptides of the 13-S complex originate from high molecular mass precursors, except for the 18 kDa polypeptide which appears to be synthesized in its final size. The amino-acid composition of the major polypeptides of the mustard storage protein is given. 相似文献

N2-fixing Nostoc sp. strain PCC 73102 was examined for the presence of hydrogenases. Native-PAGE/immunoblots demonstrated that two proteins with molecular masses of approximately 200 kDa and 215 kDa are immunologically related to hydrogenases purified from Bradyrhizobium japonicum, Azotobacter vinelandii, Methanosarcina barkeri, and Thiocapsa roseopersicina. SDS-PAGE/immunoblots showed that one polypeptide, with a molecular mass of about 58 kDa, is immunologically related to the hydrogenases purified from all the microorganisms mentioned above. In addition, two polypeptides, with molecular masses of approximately 34 and 70 kDa, are immunologically related to the hydrogenases purified from T. roseopersicina and M. barkeri respectively. Immunogold/transmission electron microscopy showed that the hydrogenase proteins are present in both the heterocysts and the vegetative cells. 相似文献

Two endoxylanases, Nf Xyn11A and Nf Xyn10A, were cloned from a Nonomuraea flexuosa (previously Actinomadura flexuosa) DSM43186 genomic expression library in Escherichia coli. The coding sequences of xyn11A and xyn10A consist of 344 and 492 amino acids, respectively. The catalytic domains belong to family 11 and family 10 of glycoside hydrolases. The C-termini share strong amino acid sequence similarity to carbohydrate-binding module (CBM) families CBM2 and CBM13, respectively. Native Nf Xyn11A, and recombinant Xyn11A expressed in the filamentous fungus Trichoderma reesei, were purified from cultivation media and characterized. The molecular masses of the full-length enzymes determined by mass spectrometry were 32.9 kDa and 33.4 kDa, the recombinant enzyme having higher molecular mass due to glycosylation. In addition, shorter polypeptides with molecular masses of 23.8 kDa and 22.0 kDa were characterized from the T. reesei culture medium, both lacking the C-terminal CBM and the 22.0 kDa polypeptide also lacking most of the linker region. The recombinant polypeptides were similar to each other in terms of specific activity, pH and temperature dependence. However, the 23.8 kDa and 22.0 kDa polypeptides were more thermostable at 80°C than the full-length enzyme. All polypeptide forms were effective in pretreatment of softwood kraft pulp at 80°C. 相似文献

The oxygen evolving complex of photosystem II (PS II) contains three extrinsic polypeptides of approximate molecular weights 16, 23 and 33 kDa. These polypeptides are associated with the roles of Cl-, Ca2+ and Mn2+ in oxygen evolution. We have shown that selective removal of 16 and 23 kDa polypeptides from the above complex by NaCl washing of PS II enriched membrane fragments renders the PS II core complex more susceptible to the herbicide atrazine. On the other hand, when both native and depleted preparations were resupplied with exogenous Ca2+ and Cl-, we obtained a reduction of atrazine inhibition which was much stronger in the depleted preparations than in the native ones. It is concluded that removal of 16 and 23 kDa polypeptides in general, and disorganization of associated Ca2+ and Cl- in particular, enhances atrazine penetration to its sites of action in the vicinity of the PS II complex. The above could be interpreted if we assume a reduced plastoquinone affinity at the QB (secondary plastoquinone electron acceptor) pocket of D1 polypeptide following transmembranous modifications caused by the depletion of these polypeptides.Abbreviations CCCP

Mature embryonic axes were used for chickpea (Cicer arietinum L.) regeneration via somatic embryogenesis. Qualitative and quantitative estimation of protein profile during somatic embryogenesis by SDS-PAGE and densitometric analysis showed differential expression of various storage proteins at different stages of somatic embryo development, which was compared with the profile of developing seeds. Total protein content in somatic embryos of chickpea increased from globular stage [2.9 μg mg−1(f.m.)] to cotyledonary stage [4.8 μg mg−1(f.m.)] and then started decreasing during onset of maturation and germination [up to 1.5 μg mg−1(f.m.)]. Differential expression of seed storage proteins, late embryogenesis abundant (LEA) proteins and proteins related with stress response were documented at different stages of somatic embryogenesis. Germinating somatic embryos showed degradation products of several seed storage proteins and the appearance of new polypeptides (76.8, 67.6, 49.9 and 34.2 kDa), which were absent during differentiation of somatic embryos. A low molecular mass (17.7 kDa) polypeptide was uniformly present during all stages of somatic embryogenesis and it may belong to a group of stress-related proteins. This study describes the expression of true seed storage proteins like legumin, vicilin, convicilin and their subunits at different stages of somatic embryogenesis, which may serve as excellent markers for embryogenic pathway of regeneration in chickpea. 相似文献

The effect of N-(4-azido-salicylyl) aspartic acid (AzSA), a photolysable analogue of malate, was tested on the malate transport activity of tonoplast vesicles isolated from Catharanthus roseus cell suspension cultures. AzSA inhibited malate uptake in a competitive manner with a Kti of 1.7 millimolar. When iodinated, the malate analogue was found to be still photolysable and a competitive inhibitor of malate uptake. Photolysis of 125I-labelled AzSA in the presence of purified tonoplast vesicles led to label incorporation into several polypeptides after analysis by gel electrophoresis. Only one polypeptide, with an apparent molecular mass of 37 kDa, was totally protected by the inclusion of 50 millimolar malate, the original substrate, in the photolysis medium. The labelled polypeptide is therefore apparently a specific malate-binding protein. Diethylpyrocarbonate (DEPC), a very potent inhibitor of malate transport acting at the active site of the transporter, also protected the 37 kDa polypeptide from labelling. Citrate and, to a lesser extent, quinate afforded protection from labelling whilst other organic acids or aspartic acid (100 millimolar) did not. These photoprotection results are in good agreement with the data concerning the specificity of malate transport across the tonoplast. Polyclonal antibodies against the 37 kDa polypeptide strongly inhibited malate uptake both in tonoplast vesicles and in isolated vacuoles. These results suggest the involvement of the 37 kDa polypeptide in vacuolar malate transport. 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

Differential Glycosylation of the 5A11/HT7 Antigen by Neural Retina and Epithelial Tissues in the Chicken 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2
Abstract: The 5A11/HT7 antigen, a member of the immunoglobulin supergene family, has been implicated in heterotypic cell-cell interactions during retina development. Immunopurified 5A11 antigen isolated from Nonidet P-40-solubilized retina membranes had two components as determined by sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE), a 45.5-kDa doublet and a 69-kDa polypeptide. Immunoreactive bands of 46-50 kDa were recognized following SDS-PAGE of detergent-solubilized membrane proteins from liver, kidney, and erythrocytes. Treatment with N-glycosidase F (EC 3.2.2.18) converted the 45.5–50-kDa immunoreactive polypeptides from all tissues to 32 kDa, indicating that the observed differences in molecular mass were due to differences in glycosylation. N-Glycosidase Ftreatment also converted the 69-kDa form from retina to 46 kDa, indicating a different polypeptide core than the 32-kDa species. Treatment with endo-β-N-acetylglucosaminidase H (EC 3.2.1.96) resulted in modest increases in electrophoretic mobility due to hydrolysis of high mannose or hybrid oligosaccharides and lack of hydrolysis of complex oligosaccharides resistant to endo-β-N-acetylglucosaminidase H digestion. Immunoreactivity was retained after deglycosylation. Much of the difference in molecular weight could be attributed to variations in sialylation. The higher molecular mass species of the 45.5-kDa doublet from retina and the polypeptides from other tissues were susceptible to neuraminidase (EC 3.2.1.18) and O-glycosidase (endo-α-N-acetylgalactosaminidase; EC 3.2.1.97) digestion. Labeling with elderberry bark lectin (specific for α2, 6-linked sialic acid) was confined to the higher molecular mass species of the 45.5-kDa doublet and was considerably greater in antigen derived from epithelia rather than neural retina. In paraffin sections of chick retina, elderberry bark lectin staining was confined to the retinal pigmented epithelium, photoreceptor cells, and bipolar cells with no staining of the Müller cells, which bear the bulk of the 5A11 antigen. These results indicate tissue-specific posttranslational modifications, particularly differences in sialylation of antigen-bearing polypeptides. 相似文献

The major storage proteins, polypeptides of 31 and 47 kilodaltons (kDa), from the seeds of cocoa (Theobroma cacao L.), have been identified and partially purified by preparative gel electrophoresis. The polypeptides were both N-terminally blocked, but some N-terminal amino-acid sequence was obtained from a cyanogen bromide peptide common to both polypeptides, permitting the construction of an oligonucleotide probe. This probe was used to isolate the corresponding copy-DNA (cDNA) clone from a library made from poly(A)+ RNA from immature cocoa beans. The cDNA sequence has a single major open reading frame, that translates to give a 566-amino-acid polypeptide of Mr 65 612. The existence of a common precursor to the 31- and 47-kDa polypeptides of this size was confirmed by immunoprecipitation from total poly(A)+RNA translation products. The precursor has an N-terminal hydrophobic sequence which appears to be a typical signal sequence, with a predicted site of cleavage 20 amino acids after the start. This is followed by a very hydrophilic domain of 110 amino acids, which, by analogy with the cottonseed -globulin, is presumed to be cleaved off to leave a domain of approx. 47 kDa, very close to the observed size of the mature polypeptide. Like the hydrophilic domain of the cottonseed -globulin the cocoa hydrophilic domain is very rich in glutamine and charged residues (especially glutamate), and contains several Cys-X-X-X-Cys motifs. The cyanogen-bromide peptide common to the 47-kDa and 31-kDa polypeptides is very close to the proposed start of the mature domain, indicating that the 31-kDa polypeptide arises via further C-terminal processing. The polypeptide sequence is homologous to sequences of the vicilin class of storage proteins, previously found only in legumes and cotton. Most of these proteins have a mature polypeptide size of approx. 47 kDa, and are synthesised as precursors only slightly larger than this. Some, however, are larger polypeptides (e.g. -conglycinin from soybean is 72 kDa), usually due to an additional N-terminal domain. In cottonseed the situation appears to parallel that in cocoa in that the vicilin is synthesised as an approx. 70-kDa precursor and then processed to a 47-kDa (and in the case of cocoa also a 31-kDa) mature protein. In this context it is interesting that cotton is closer in evolutionary terms to cocoa than are the legumes, both cotton and cocoa being in the order Malvales.Abbreviations A

Total and neosynthesized proteins of periwinkle cell suspensions (Catharanthus roseus) were first investigated in cells grown in a 2,4-D-containing medium. Analysis of total (silver-stained) proteins by two-dimensional gel electrophoresis revealed that the levels of seventeen polypeptides were altered during the growth cycle of the cells. Analysis of in vivo [35S]-methionine labeled polypeptides revealed differences in the synthesis of at least 35 polypeptides. Three polypeptides with molecular masses of 30, 35 and 39 kDa appeared to be specific markers of the early stationary phase. In a second sequence of experiments, cells were grown in a 2,4-D-free medium. Alterations in protein synthesis were observed: several polypeptides were expressed earlier in the 2,4-D-starved cells than in control cells; the synthesis of at least two specific polypeptides was increased in cells grown in 2,4-D-free medium, whereas the synthesis of three other polypeptides (molecular masses 33, 34 and 52.5 kDa) was switched on in these cells. As previous studies showed that 2,4-D depletion increased the alkaloid production in C. roseus cells, the present results may suggest that these polypeptides are implicated in the regulation of the alkaloid pathway. 相似文献

A polyester polyurethane (PU)-degrading enzyme, PU esterase, derived from Pseudomonas fluorescens, a bacterium that utilizes polyester PU as the sole carbon source,was purified to homogeneity as indicated by sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gelelectrophoresis. This enzyme was a soluble, extracellular protein with a molecular mass of 48 kDa and was inhibited by phenylmethylsulfonylfluoride (PMSF). A genomic library of Ps.fluorescens was constructed using the Escherichia coli bacteriophage l vector lZAPII. A recombinant phage exhibiting activity against Impranil DLN was isolated. The geneencoding the polyurethanase (PUase) protein was subcloned into a plasmid expression vectorpT7-6 and expressed in E. coli. Upon expression, the PUase was secreted by the host,displayed esterase activity which was inhibited by PMSF, and in vivo 35S-methionine labeling of the gene product encoded by the open reading frame of the clone insertrevealed a single polypeptide with a molecular mass of 48 kDa. 相似文献

The crystals of the soil-isolated Bacillus thuringiensis (Bt) strain A4 consist of two polypeptides with molecular mass of 140 kDa and 32 kDa that exhibit insecticidal activity against
adult flies of Bactrocera oleae (Diptera). Plasmid curing applied to this strain resulted in the isolation of several subclones exhibiting alterations in
their crystal polypeptides as well as two acrystalliferous subclones. The crystals of subclone 1.1 lacked the 32-kDa polypeptide
and consisted uniquely of a 140-kDa polypeptide antigenically related to the parental 140-kDa crystal polypeptide. Additionally,
the crystals of this subclone exhibited insecticidal activity against B. oleae equivalent to that of the parental strain. Therefore, the 32-kDa crystal polypeptide is dispensable for insecticidal activity,
which appears to be dependent on the presence of the 140-kDa crystal polypeptide.

One- and two-dimensional electrophoresis of Nicotiana tabacum pollen and pollen tube proteins confirmed that a new protein is preferentially synthesized during pollen germination and tube growth and becomes the most abundant protein in pollen tubes. Analysis of proteins extracted with sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS) from different pollen tube fractions showed that it is the most abundant non-covalently bound wall protein, characterized by molecular mass of 69 kDa, pI between 7.9 and 8.2, and glycosylation with glucose and/or mannose. Amino acid analysis revealed relative abundance of serine, glutamic acid and glycine, but did not show the presence of hydroxyproline. According to all these characteristics, it cannot be classified as an extensin-like protein. Another prominent wall-bound glycoprotein has a molecular mass of 66 kDa and the same pI as the 69 kDa glycoprotein. These two glycoproteins are similar also in ConA binding, rate of synthesis, and rapid incorporation into pollen tube walls. Their synthesis is strongly reduced by tunicamycin and this inhibition results in the occurrence of new polypeptides in the range of 57–61 kDa. Tunicamycin also inhibited pollen tube growth. At 10 ng ml-1 and 50 ng ml-1 the inhibitor reduced pollen tube mass after 24 h of culture by 30% and 85%, respectively. This indicates that tobacco pollen presents a system highly sensitive to tunicamycin and that cotranslational N-linked glycosylation on the rough endoplasmic reticulum is required for 66 and 69 kDa glycoprotein formation and for pollen tube growth. Although other proteins appear during pollen germination and tube growth, the new proteins occur at low levels and seem to originate through modifications of preexisting polypeptides. In contrast to 69 and 66 kDa proteins, most proteins detected by [14C]amino acid incorporation and fluorography of gels were not revealed by Coomassie blue staining. 相似文献

White lupin seed imbibition under low temperature conditions (8 °C) and their subsequent effects on embryonic protein composition and synthesis were investigated. The response to low temperatures was accompanied by changes in polypeptide composition and synthesis. The embryonic axes labelled in vivo with (35S)-methionine retained their capacity to synthesize proteins during imbibition at 8 °C. The synthesis of some polypeptides was increased during low temperature treatment as compared to that at 25 °C. These cold-induced polypeptides were essentially detected in a molecular mass range from 15 to 35 kDa and a pI range from 6.3 to 8.7. 相似文献
