Sequence and structural diversity of the S locus genes from different lines with the same self-recognition specificities in Brassica oleracea

Self-incompatibility (SI) is a mechanism for preventing self-fertilization in flowering plants. In Brassica, it is controlled by a single multi-allelic locus, S, and it is believed that two highly polymorphic genes in the S locus, SLG and SRK, play central roles in self-recognition in stigmas. SRK is a putative receptor protein kinase, whose extracellular domain exhibits high similarity to SLG. We analyzed two pairs of lines showing cross-incompatibility (S(2) and S(2-b); S(13) and S(13-b)). In S(2) and S(2-b), SRKs were more highly conserved than SLGs. This was also the case with S(13) and S(13-b). This suggests that the SRKs of different lines must be conserved for the lines to have the same self-recognition specificity. In particular, SLG(2-b) showed only 88. 5% identity to SLG(2), which is comparable to that between the SLGs of different S haplotypes, while SRK(2-b) showed 97.3% identity to SRK(2) in the S domain. These findings suggest that the SLGs in these S haplotypes are not important for self-recognition in SI.

S cysteine-rich (SCR) binding domain analysis of the Brassica self-incompatibility S-locus receptor kinase

Brassica self-incompatibility, a highly discriminating outbreeding mechanism, has become a paradigm for the study of plant cell-cell communications. When self-pollen lands on a stigma, the male ligand S cysteine-rich (SCR), which is present in the pollen coat, is transmitted to the female receptor, S-locus receptor kinase (SRK). SRK is a membrane-spanning serine/threonine receptor kinase present in the stigmatic papillar cell membrane. Haplotype-specific binding of SCR to SRK brings about pollen rejection. The extracellular receptor domain of SRK (eSRK) is responsible for binding SCR. Based on sequence homology, eSRK can be divided into three subdomains: B lectin-like, hypervariable, and PAN. Biochemical analysis of these subdomains showed that the hypervariable subdomain is responsible for most of the SCR binding capacity of eSRK, whereas the B lectin-like and PAN domains have little, if any, affinity for SCR. Fine mapping of the SCR binding region of SRK using a peptide array revealed a region of the hypervariable subdomain that plays a key role in binding the SCR molecule. We show that residues within the hypervariable subdomain define SRK binding and are likely to be involved in defining haplotype specificity.

Genomic organization of the S locus: Identification and characterization of genes in SLG/SRK region of S(9) haplotype of Brassica campestris (syn. rapa).

In Brassica, two self-incompatibility genes, encoding SLG (S locus glycoprotein) and SRK (S-receptor kinase), are located at the S locus and expressed in the stigma. Recent molecular analysis has revealed that the S locus is highly polymorphic and contains several genes, i.e., SLG, SRK, the as-yet-unidentified pollen S gene(s), and other linked genes. In the present study, we searched for expressed sequences in a 76-kb SLG/SRK region of the S(9) haplotype of Brassica campestris (syn. rapa) and identified 10 genes in addition to the four previously identified (SLG(9), SRK(9), SAE1, and SLL2) in this haplotype. This gene density (1 gene/5.4 kb) suggests that the S locus is embedded in a gene-rich region of the genome. The average G + C content in this region is 32.6%. An En/Spm-type transposon-like element was found downstream of SLG(9). Among the genes we identified that had not previously been found to be linked to the S locus were genes encoding a small cysteine-rich protein, a J-domain protein, and an antisilencing protein (ASF1) homologue. The small cysteine-rich protein was similar to a pollen coat protein, named PCP-A1, which had previously been shown to bind SLG.     

Molecular characterization of the S locus in two self-incompatible Brassica napus lines.

In Brassica species, self-incompatibility has been mapped genetically to a single chromosomal location. In this region, there are two closely linked genes coding for the S locus glycoprotein (SLG) and S locus receptor kinase (SRK). They appear to comprise the pistil component of the self-incompatibility reaction. SLG and SRK are thought to recognize an unknown pollen component on the incompatible pollen, and the gene encoding this pollen component must also be linked to the SLG and SRK genes. To further our understanding of self-incompatibility, the chromosomal region carrying the SLG and SRK genes has been studied. The physical region between the SLG-910 and the SRK-910 genes in the Brassica napus W1 line was cloned, and a search for genes expressed in the anther revealed two additional S locus genes located downstream of the SLG-910 gene. Because these two genes are novel and are conserved at other S alleles, we designated them as SLL1 and SLL2 (for S locus-linked genes 1 and 2, respectively). The SLL1 gene is S locus specific, whereas the SLL2 gene is not only present at the S locus but is also present in other parts of the genomes in both self-incompatible and self-compatible Brassica ssp lines. Expression of the SLL1 gene is only detectable in anthers of self-incompatible plants and is developmentally regulated during anther development, whereas the SLL2 gene is expressed in anthers and stigmas in both self-incompatible and self-compatible plants, with the highest levels of expression occurring in the stigmas. Although SLL1 and SLL2 are linked to the S locus region, it is not clear whether these genes function in self-incompatibility or serve some other cellular roles in pollen-pistil functions.     

US3 Protein Kinase of Herpes Simplex Virus 1 Blocks Caspase 3 Activation Induced by the Products of US1.5 and UL13 Genes and Modulates Expression of Transduced US1.5 Open Reading Frame in a Cell Type-Specific Manner

The coding domain of the herpes simplex virus type 1 (HSV-1) alpha22 gene encodes two proteins, the 420-amino-acid infected-cell protein 22 (ICP22) and U(S)1.5, a protein colinear with the carboxyl-terminal domain of ICP22. In HSV-1-infected cells, ICP22 and U(S)1.5 are extensively modified by the U(L)13 and U(S)3 viral protein kinases. In this report, we show that in contrast to other viral proteins defined by their properties as alpha proteins, U(S)1.5 becomes detectable and accumulated only at late times after infection. Moreover, significantly more U(S)1.5 protein accumulated in cells infected with a mutant lacking the U(L)13 gene than in cells infected with wild-type virus. To define the role of viral protein kinases on the accumulation of U(S)1.5 protein, rabbit skin cells or Vero cells were exposed to recombinant baculoviruses that expressed U(S)1.5, U(L)13, or U(S)3 proteins under a human cytomegalovirus immediate-early promoter. The results were as follows. (i) Accumulation of the U(S)1.5 protein was reduced by concurrent expression of the U(L)13 protein kinase and augmented by concurrent expression of the U(S)3 protein kinase. The magnitude of the reduction or increase in the accumulation of the U(S)1.5 protein was cell type dependent. The effect of U(L)13 kinase appears to be specific inasmuch as it did not affect the accumulation of glycoprotein D in cells doubly infected by recombinant baculoviruses expressing these genes. (ii) The reduction in accumulation of the U(S)1.5 protein was partially due to proteasome-dependent degradation. (iii) Both U(S)1.5 and U(L)13 proteins activated caspase 3, indicative of programmed cell death. (iv) Concurrent expression of the U(S)3 protein kinase blocked activation of caspase 3. The results are concordant with those published elsewhere (J. Munger and B. Roizman, Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA 98:10410-10415, 2001) that the U(S)3 protein kinase can block apoptosis by degradation or posttranslational modification of BAD.
