Extensins are cell wall hydroxyproline-rich glycoproteins that form covalent networks putatively involving tyrosyl and lysyl residues in cross-links catalyzed by one or more extensin peroxidases. The precise cross-links remain to be chemically identified both as network components in muro and as enzymic products generated in vitro with native extensin monomers as substrates. However, some extensin monomers contain variations within their putative cross-linking motifs that complicate cross-link identification. Other simpler extensins are recalcitrant to isolation including the ubiquitous P3-type extensin whose major repetitive motif, Hyp)(4)-Ser-Hyp-Ser-(Hyp)(4)-Tyr-Tyr-Tyr-Lys, is of particular interest, not least because its Tyr-Tyr-Tyr intramolecular isodityrosine cross-link motifs are also putative candidates for further intermolecular cross-linking to form di-isodityrosine. Therefore, we designed a set of extensin analogs encoding tandem repeats of the P3 motif, including Tyr --> Phe and Lys --> Leu variations. Expression of these P3 analogs in Nicotiana tabacum cells yielded glycoproteins with virtually all Pro residues hydroxylated and subsequently arabinosylated and with likely galactosylated Ser residues. This was consistent with earlier analyses of P3 glycopeptides isolated from cell wall digests and the predictions of the Hyp contiguity hypothesis. The tyrosine-rich P3 analogs also contained isodityrosine, formed in vivo. Significantly, these isodityrosine-containing analogs were further cross-linked in vitro by an extensin peroxidase to form the tetra-tyrosine intermolecular cross-link amino acid di-isodityrosine. This is the first identification of an inter-molecular cross-link amino acid in an extensin module and corroborates earlier suggestions that di-isodityrosine represents one mechanism for cross-linking extensins in muro. 相似文献

BackgroundExtensins are plant cell wall hydroxyproline-rich glycoproteins known to be involved in cell wall reinforcement in higher plants, and in defence against pathogen attacks. The ability of extensins to form intra- and intermolecular cross-links is directly related to their role in cell wall reinforcement. Formation of such cross-links requires appropriate glycosylation and structural conformation of the glycoprotein.ScopeAlthough the role of cell wall components in plant defence has drawn increasing interest over recent years, relatively little focus has been dedicated to extensins. Nevertheless, new insights were recently provided regarding the structure and the role of extensins and their glycosylation in plant–microbe interactions, stimulating an interesting debate from fellow cell wall community experts. We have previously revealed a distinct distribution of extensin epitopes in Arabidopsis thaliana wild-type roots and in mutants impaired in extensin arabinosylation, in response to elicitation with flagellin 22. That study was recently debated in a Commentary by Tan and Mort (Tan L, Mort A. 2020. Extensins at the front line of plant defence. A commentary on: ‘Extensin arabinosylation is involved in root response to elicitors and limits oomycete colonization’. Annals of Botany 125: vii–viii) and several points regarding our results were discussed. As a response, we herein clarify the points raised by Tan and Mort, and update the possible epitope structure recognized by the anti-extensin monoclonal antibodies. We also provide additional data showing differential distribution of LM1 extensin epitopes in roots between a mutant defective in PEROXIDASES 33 and 34 and the wild type, similarly to previous observations from the rra2 mutant defective in extensin arabinosylation. We propose these two peroxidases as potential candidates to specifically catalyse the cross-linking of extensins within the cell wall.ConclusionsExtensins play a major role within the cell wall to ensure root protection. The cross-linking of extensins, which requires correct glycosylation and specific peroxidases, is most likely to result in modulation of cell wall architecture that allows enhanced protection of root cells against invading pathogens. Study of the relationship between extensin glycosylation and their cross-linking is a very promising approach to further understand how the cell wall influences root immunity. 相似文献

Extensins, hydroxyproline‐rich repetitive glycoproteins with Ser–Hyp4 motifs, are structural proteins in plant cell walls. The leucine‐rich repeat extensin 1 (LRX1) of Arabidopsis thaliana is an extracellular protein with both a leucine‐rich repeat and an extensin domain, and has been demonstrated to be important for cell‐wall formation in root hairs. lrx1 mutants develop defective cell walls, resulting in a strong root hair phenotype. The extensin domain is essential for protein function and is thought to confer insolubilization of LRX1 in the cell wall. Here, in vivo characterization of the LRX1 extensin domain is described. First, a series of LRX1 extensin deletion constructs was produced that led to identification of a much shorter, functional extensin domain. Tyr residues can induce intra‐ and inter‐molecular cross‐links in extensins, and substitution of Tyr in the extensin domain by Phe led to reduced activity of the corresponding LRX1 protein. An additional function of Tyr (or Phe) is provided by the aromatic nature of the side chain. This suggests that these residues might be involved in hydrophobic stacking, possibly as a mechanism of protein assembly. Finally, modified LRX1 proteins lacking Tyr in the extensin domain are still insolubilized in the cell wall, indicating strong interactions of extensins within the cell wall in addition to the well‐described Tyr cross‐links. 相似文献

Extensins are cell wall basic glycoproteins with a polypeptide backbone that is extremely rich in hydroxyproline. In this paper, the function of extensins in embryo development was studied in Nicotiana tabacum. By using Western blot and immunohistochemistry, the extensin JIM20 epitopes were found to express in different developmental stages of embryos, and specifically in the top of the embryo proper (EP) and the suspensor of the late globular embryos. In order to clarify the functions of extensins, a potent hydroxyproline synthesis inhibitor, 3,4-dehydro-L-proline (3,4-DHP), was used in ovule and embryo culture. The results showed that the addition of 3,4-DHP caused abnormal embryos with single, asymmetry and supernumerary cotyledon primordia, and continuous culture led to cotyledon defects in the germinated seedlings. Histological sections showed that the shoot apical meristem (SAM) of the abnormal seedlings was dissimilar from the controls, especially in the seedlings with cup-shaped cotyledons. Furthermore, the vasculature of the abnormal cotyledons was in an out-of-order format and contained at least two main veins. Finally, both the hydroxyproline assay and fluorescent immunolocalization confirmed that 3,4-DHP treatment reduced the level of extensins in the cultured ovules and embryos. These results indicate that extensins may play important roles in the cotyledon primordium formation, SAM activity, and vasculature differentiation during embryo development. 相似文献

Extensin: repetitive motifs, functional sites, post-translational codes, and phylogeny 总被引:24,自引:3,他引:21

Homologous hydroxyproline-rich glycoproteins (HRGPs) of the plant extracellular matrix include extensins, repetitive proline-rich proteins (RPRPs), some nodulins, gum arabic glycoprotein (GAGP), arabinogalactan-proteins (AGPs), and chimeric proteins such as potato lectin which contain an extensin module fused to a lectin. The key to the role of HRGPs in cell wall self-assembly and cell extension lies in their chemistry, which is dependent on extensive post-translational modifications (PTMs): hydroxylation, glycosylation, and cross-linking. Repetitive peptide motifs characterize HRGPs. One or more repetitive peptide motifs and their variants, singly or in combination, may constitute functional sites involved in various aspects of cell wall assembly, as follows:
Rules for the post-translational modifications are emerging:
Their protistan origin obscures the phylogenetic affinities of a single extensin-HRGP family due to their sequence divergence. We propose a phylogenetic series ranging from the minimally glycosylated basic RPRPs to the highly glycosylated acidic AGPs. Furthermore, based on similarities between dicots and gymnosperm extensins, and their marked difference from graminaceous monocot extensins, graminaceous monocot and dicot lines may have diverged as early as the progymnosperms. The origin of the embryophytes (land plants) is an even more open question, the nearest extant algal relatives being unknown. The Charophyta, frequently suggested as ancestral to the embryophytes, seem unlikely as the Charalean cell wall of Chara and Nitella lacks hydroxyproline. 相似文献

The extensin family is a diverse group of hydroxyproline-rich glycoproteins located in the cell wall and characterized by repetitive peptide motifs glycosylated to various degrees. The origin of this diversity and its relationship to function led us earlier to compare extensins of the two major groups of angiosperms from which we concluded that the highly glycosylated Ser-Hyp4 motif was characteristic of advanced herbaceous dicots, occurring rarely or not at all in a representative graminaceous monocot (Zea mays) and a chenopod (Beta vulgaris) representative of primitive dicots. Because these results could arise either from loss or acquisition of a characteristic feature, we chose a typical gymnosperm representing seed-bearing plants more primitive than the angiosperms. Thus, salt eluates of Douglas fir (Pseudotsuga menziesii) cell suspension cultures yielded two monomeric extensins differing in size and composition. The larger extensin reported earlier lacked the Ser-Hyp4 motif, was rich in proline and hydroxyproline, and contained peptide motifs similar to the dicot repetitive proline-rich proteins. The smaller extensin monomer reported here (Superose-6 peak 2 [SP2]) was compositionally similar to typical dicot extensins such as tomato P1, mainly consisting of Hyp, Thr, Ser, Pro, Val, Tyr, Lys, His, abundant arabinose, and a small but significant galactose content. A chymotryptic peptide map (on Hamilton PRP-1) of anhydrous hydrogen fluoride-deglycosylated SP2 yielded eight peptides sequenced after further purification on a high-resolution fast-sizing column (polyhydroxyethyl aspartamide; Poly LC). Significantly, two of the eight peptides contained the Ser-Hyp4 motif, consistent both with the SP2 amino acid composition as well as the presence of hydroxyproline tetraarabinoside as a small (4% of total Hyp) component of the hydroxyproline arabinoside profile; thus, hydroxyproline tetraarabinoside corroborates the presence of Ser-Hyp4, in agreement with our earlier observation that Hyp contiguity and Hyp glycosylation are positively correlated. Interestingly, other peptide sequences indicate that SP2 contains motifs such as Ser-Hyp3-Thr-Hyp-Tyr, Ser-Hyp4-Lys, and (Ala-Hyp)n repeats that are related to and typify dicot extensins P1, P3, and arabinogalactan proteins, respectively. Overall, these peptide sequences confirm our previous prediction that Ser-Hyp4 is indeed an ancient motif and also strongly support our suggestion that the extensins comprise an extraordinarily diverse, but nevertheless phylogenetically related, family of cell wall hydroxyproline-rich glycoproteins. 相似文献

Extensins and kindred hydroxyproline-rich glycoproteins occur in dicot cell walls mainly as insoluble integral components that may form an intermolecularly cross-linked network interpenetrated by other polymers. Extensins also occur in muro as a small pool of soluble monomeric precursors to network extensin. These precursors were prepared in milligram quantities by salt elution from the surface of intact cells grown as tomato suspension cultures. Based on an FPLC (Superose-6) gel filtration assay of cross-linked extensin oligomers, a pl 4.6 extensin cross-linking peroxidase isozyme was partially purified from the culture growth medium. Purification involved: volume reduction, ultracentrifugation to remove pectin and co-adsorbed cationic peroxidase, followed by chromatography of anionic extensin peroxidase (pl 4.6) on DEAE—Trisacryl and TSK-gel DEAE-5PW columns. With tomato P1 extensin as substrate and 60 µM H2 O2 as co-substrate, at 23° pl 4.6 extensin peroxidase gave a K,m of 0.22 mM P1 and a V max of 70 µmol P1 cross-linked min−1 mg−1 enzyme, at the optimum pH 5.5. Assayed with 12 different extensins from representative monocots, dicots, and gymnosperms, the pl 4.6 isozyme cross-linked highly selectively, indicating two natural groups: cross-linking or CL-extensins and non-cross-linking or NCL-extensins. CL-extensins contained the X—Hyp—Val—Tyr—Lys motif and were also highly glycosylated. However, the simplest motif common to CL-extensins but absent from NCL-extensins was Val—Tyr—Lys. Thus, peroxidative coupling of extensin monomers and resistance of the resultant oligomers to depolymerization by anhydrous HF suggests that the intermolecular cross-link involves tyrosine or lysine. 相似文献

Colonization of host cells by rhizobium bacteria involves the progressive remodelling of the plant–microbial interface. Following induction of nodulation genes by legume-derived flavonoid signals, rhizobium secretes Nod-factors (lipochitin oligosaccharides) that cause root hair deformations by perturbing the growth of the plant cell wall. The infection thread arises as a tubular ingrowth bounded by plant cell wall. This serves as a conduit for colonizing bacterial cells that grow and divide in its lumen. The transcellular orientation of thread growth is controlled by the cytoskeleton and is coupled to cell cycle reactivation and cell division processes. In response to rhizobium infection, host cells synthesize several new components (early nodulins) that modify the properties of the cell wall and extracellular matrix. Root nodule extensins are a legume-specific family of hydroxyproline-rich glycoproteins targeted into the lumen of the infection thread. They have alternating extensin and arabinogalactan (AGP) glycosylation motifs. The structural characteristics of these glycoproteins suggest that they may serve to regulate fluid-to-solid transitions in the extracellular matrix. Extensibility of the infection thread is apparently controlled by peroxide-driven protein cross-linking and perhaps also by modification of the pectic matrix. Endocytosis of rhizobia from unwalled infection droplets into the host cell cytoplasm depends on physical contact between glycocalyx components of the plant and bacterial membrane surfaces. As endosymbionts, bacteroids remain enclosed within a plant-derived membrane that is topologically equivalent to the plasma membrane. This membrane acquires specialist functions that regulate metabolite exchanges between bacterial cells and the host cytoplasm. Ultimately, however, the fate of the symbiosome is to become a lysosome, causing the eventual senescence of the symbiotic interaction. 相似文献

Enzymatic removal of the cell wall induces vegetative Chlamydomonas reinhardtii cells to transcribe wall genes and synthesize new hydroxyproline-rich glycoproteins (HRGPs) related to the extensins found in higher plant cell walls. A cDNA expression library made from such induced cells was screened with antibodies to an oligopeptide containing the (SP)x repetitive domains found in Chlamydomonas wall proteins. One of the selected cDNAs encodes an (SP)x-rich polypeptide that also displays a repeated YGG motif. Ascorbate, a peroxidase inhibitor, and tyrosine derivatives were shown to inhibit insolubilization of both the vegetative and zygotic cell walls of Chlamydomonas, suggesting that oxidative cross-linking of tyrosines is occurring. Moreover, insolubilization of both walls was concomitant with a burst in H2O2 production and in extracellular peroxidase activity. Finally, both isodityrosine and dityrosine were found in hydrolysates of the insolubilized vegetative wall layer. We propose that the formation of tyrosine cross-links is essential to Chlamydomonas HRGP insolubilization. 相似文献

Root nodule extensins (RNEs) are highly glycosylated plant glycoproteins localized in the extracellular matrix of legume tissues and in the lumen of Rhizobium-induced infection threads. In pea and other legumes, a family of genes encode glycoproteins of different overall length but with the same basic composition. The predicted polypeptide sequence reveals repeating and alternating motifs characteristic of extensins and arabinogalactan proteins. In order to monitor the behavior of individual RNE gene products in the plant extracellular matrix, the coding sequence of PsRNE1 from Pisum sativum was expressed in insect cells and in tobacco leaves. RNE products extracted from tobacco tissues were of high molecular weight (in excess of 80 kDa), indicating extensive glycosylation similar to that in pea tissues. Epitope-tagged derivatives of PsRNE1 could be localized in cell walls. However, the introduction of epitope tags at the C-terminus of RNE altered the behavior of RNE in the extracellular matrix, apparently preventing intermolecular crosslinking of RNE molecules and their covalent association with other cell wall components. These observations are discussed in the light of a computational model for the RNE glycoprotein that is consistent with an extended rod-like structure. It is proposed that RNE can undergo three classes of tyrosine-based crosslinking. Intramolecular crosslinking of vicinal Tyr residues is rod stiffening, end-to-end linkage is rod lengthening, and side-to-side intermolecular crosslinking is rod bundling. The control of these interconversions could have important implications for the biomechanics of infection thread growth. 相似文献

Bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) cells have been habituated to grow in lethal concentrations of dichlobenil (DCB), a specific inhibitor of cellulose biosynthesis.
Bean callus cells were successively cultured in increasing DCB concentrations up to 2 μM. The 2-μM DCB habituated cells were
impoverished in cellulose and xyloglucan, had an increased xyloglucan endotransglucosylase (XET; EC 2.4.1.207) activity, together
with an increased growth rate and a decreased molecular size of xyloglucan. However, the application of lethal concentrations
of two different cellulose-biosynthesis inhibitors (DCB and isoxaben) for a short period of time produced little effect on
XET activity and xyloglucan molecular size. We propose that the weakening of plant cell wall provoked by decrease in cellulose
content might promote the xyloglucan tethers and increase the ability of xyloglucan to bind to cellulose in order to give
rigidity to the wall. 相似文献

The green alga Chlamydomonas reinhardtii elaborates two biochemically and morphologically distinct cell walls during its life cycle: one surrounds the vegetative and gametic cell and the other encompasses the zygote. Hydroxyproline-rich glycoproteins (HRGPs) constitute a major component of both walls. We describe the isolation and characterization of a zygote-specific gene encoding a wall HRGP. The derived amino acid sequence of this algal HRGP is similar to those of higher plant extensins, rich in proline and serine residues and possessing repeating amino acid motifs, notably X(Pro)3 and (Ser-Pro)n. Antiserum against this zygote wall protein detected common epitopes in several other zygote polypeptides, at least one of which is also encoded by a zygote-specific gene. We conclude that there is one set of HRGP wall genes expressed only in zygotes and another set that is specific to vegetative and gametic cells. 相似文献

Extensins (EXTs) are a family of plant cell wall hydroxyproline-rich glycoproteins (HRGPs) that are implicated to play important roles in plant growth, development, and defense. Structurally, EXTs are characterized by the repeated occurrence of serine (Ser) followed by three to five prolines (Pro) residues, which are hydroxylated as hydroxyproline (Hyp) and glycosylated. Some EXTs have Tyrosine (Tyr)-X-Tyr (where X can be any amino acid) motifs that are responsible for intramolecular or intermolecular cross-linkings. EXTs can be divided into several classes: classical EXTs, short EXTs, leucine-rich repeat extensins (LRXs), proline-rich extensin-like receptor kinases (PERKs), formin-homolog EXTs (FH EXTs), chimeric EXTs, and long chimeric EXTs. To guide future research on the EXTs and understand evolutionary history of EXTs in the plant kingdom, a bioinformatics study was conducted to identify and classify EXTs from 16 fully sequenced plant genomes, including Ostreococcus lucimarinus, Chlamydomonas reinhardtii, Volvox carteri, Klebsormidium flaccidum, Physcomitrella patens, Selaginella moellendorffii, Pinus taeda, Picea abies, Brachypodium distachyon, Zea mays, Oryza sativa, Glycine max, Medicago truncatula, Brassica rapa, Solanum lycopersicum, and Solanum tuberosum, to supplement data previously obtained from Arabidopsis thaliana and Populus trichocarpa. A total of 758 EXTs were newly identified, including 87 classical EXTs, 97 short EXTs, 61 LRXs, 75 PERKs, 54 FH EXTs, 38 long chimeric EXTs, and 346 other chimeric EXTs. Several notable findings were made: (1) classical EXTs were likely derived after the terrestrialization of plants; (2) LRXs, PERKs, and FHs were derived earlier than classical EXTs; (3) monocots have few classical EXTs; (4) Eudicots have the greatest number of classical EXTs and Tyr-X-Tyr cross-linking motifs are predominantly in classical EXTs; (5) green algae have no classical EXTs but have a number of long chimeric EXTs that are absent in embryophytes. Furthermore, phylogenetic analysis was conducted of LRXs, PERKs and FH EXTs, which shed light on the evolution of three EXT classes. 相似文献

Ectopic expression of a wood-abundant expansin PttEXPA1 promotes cell expansion in primary and secondary tissues in aspen 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1

Expansins are primary agents inducing cell wall extension, and are therefore obvious targets in biotechnological applications aimed at the modification of cell size in plants. In trees, increased fibre length is a goal of both breeding and genetic engineering programmes. We used an α-expansin Ptt EXPA1 that is highly abundant in the wood-forming tissues of hybrid aspen ( Populus tremula L. × P. tremuloides Michx.) to evaluate its role in fibre elongation and wood cell development. Ptt EXPA1 belongs to Subfamily A of α-expansins that have conserved motifs at the N- and C-termini of the mature protein. When PttEXPA1 was over-expressed in aspen, an extract of the cell wall-bound proteins of the transgenic plants exhibited an increased expansin activity on cellulose–xyloglucan composites in vitro , indicating that Ptt EXPA1 is an active expansin. The transgenic lines exhibited increased stem internode elongation and leaf expansion, and larger cell sizes in the leaf epidermis, indicating that Ptt EXPA1 protein is capable of increasing the growth of these organs by enhancing cell wall expansion in planta . Wood cell development was also modified in the transgenic lines, but the effects were different for vessel elements and fibres, the two main cell types of aspen wood. Ptt EXPA1 stimulated fibre, but not vessel element, diameter growth, and marginally increased vessel element length, but did not affect fibre length. The observed differences in responsiveness to expansin of these cell types are discussed in the light of differences in their growth strategies and cell wall composition. 相似文献

BACKGROUND AND AIMS: Projections of cell wall material into the intercellular spaces between parenchymatic cells have been observed since the mid-19th century. Histochemical staining suggested that these intercellular protuberances are probably pectic in nature, but uncertainties about their origin, composition and biological function(s) have remained. METHODS: Using electron and light microscopy, including immunohistochemical methods, the structure and the presence of some major cell wall macromolecules in the intercellular pectic protuberances (IPPs) of the cortical parenchyma have been studied in a specimen of the Asplenium aethiopicum complex. KEY RESULTS: IPPs contained pectic homogalacturonan, but no evidence for pectic rhamnogalacturonan-I or xylogalacturonan epitopes was obtained. Arabinogalactan-proteins and xylan were not detected in cell walls, middle lamellae or IPPs of the cortical parenchyma, whereas xyloglucan was only found in its cell walls. Extensin (hydroxyproline-rich glycoproteins) LM1 and JIM11 and JIM20 epitopes were detected specifically in IPPs but not in their adjacent cell walls or middle lamellae. CONCLUSIONS: It is postulated that IPPs do not originate exclusively from the middle lamellae because extensins were only found in IPPs and not in surrounding cell walls, intercellular space linings or middle lamellae, and because IPPs and their adjacent cell walls are discontinuous. 相似文献

At least two main groups of glycoproteins can be distinguished in plant cell walls: extensins which are insoluble cell wall proteins; and soluble arabinogalactan proteins (AGPs) which have a high carbohydrate content such that protein content constitutes in some cases only 5 % of the glycoprotein weight. These two groups of proteins together with other cell wall proteins more or less glycosylated, such as proline-rich proteins (PRPs), hybrid PRP (HyPRPs) and expansins, are reviewed and compared with similar proteins present in other cell compartments. Different patterns of N- or O-glycosylation are analysed. In some cases, these cell wall proteins or proteins related to them present patterns of glycosylation that act as epitopes recognizable by IgE in allergic responses. 相似文献

In this study, poplar (Populus alba) cellulase (PaPopCel1) was overexpressed in a tropical Leguminosae tree, sengon (Paraserianthes falcataria), by the Agrobacterium tumefaciens method. PaPopCel1 overexpression increased the length and width of stems with larger leaves, which showed a moderately higher density of green color than leaves of the wild type. The pairs of leaves on the transgenic plants closed more slowly during sunset than those on the wild-type plants. When main veins from each genotype were excised and placed on a paper towel, however, the leaves of the transgenic plants closed more rapidly than those of the wild-type plant. Based on carbohydrate analyses of cell walls, the leaves of the transgenic plants contained less wall-bound xyloglucan than those of the wild-type plants. In situ xyloglucan endotransglucosylase activity showed that the incorporation of whole xyloglucan, potentially for wall tightening, occurred in the parenchyma cells (motor cells) of the petiolule pulvinus attached to the main vein, although the transgenic plant incorporated less whole xyloglucan than the wild-type plant. These observations support the hypothesis that the paracrystalline sites of cellulose microfibrils are attacked by poplar cellulase, which loosens xyloglucan intercalation, resulting in an irreversible wall modification. This process could be the reason why the overexpression of poplar cellulase both promotes plant growth and disturbs the biological clock of the plant by altering the closing movements of the leaves of the plant. 相似文献
