We isolated and sequenced Ha hsp 17.9, a DNA complementary (cDNA) of dry-seed stored mRNA that encodes a low-molecular-weight heat-shock protein (LMW HSP). Sequence analysis identified Ha hsp17.9, and the previously reported Ha hsp17.6, as cDNAs encoding proteins (HSP17.6 and HSP17.9) which belong to different families of cytoplasmic LMW HSPs. Using specific antibodies we observed differential expression of both proteins during zygotic embryogenesis under controlled environment, and a remarkable persistence of these LMW HSPs during germination. Immuno-blot analysis of HSP17.9 proteins in two-dimensional gels revealed that the polypeptides expressed in embryos were indistinguishable from LMW HSPs expressed in vegetative tissues in response to water deficit; but they appeared different from homologeous proteins expressed in response to thermal-stress. Tissue-print immunolocalization experiments showed that HSP17.9 and HSP17.6 were homogeneously distributed in every tissue of desiccation-tolerant dry seeds and young seedlings under non-stress conditions. These results demonstrate developmental regulation of specific, cytoplasmic, plant LMW HSPs, suggesting also their involvement in water-stress tolerance. 相似文献

Using antibodies raised against two sunflower small heat shock proteins (sHSPs), we have detected immunologically related proteins in unstressed vegetative tissues from the resurrection plant Craterostigma plantagineum. In whole plants, further accumulation of these polypeptides was induced by heat-shock or water-stress. In desiccation-intolerant Craterostigma callus tissue, we failed to detect sHSP-related polypeptides, but their expression, and the concurrent acquisition of desiccation tolerance was induced by exogenous abscisic acid (ABA) treatment. In untressed plants, the cross-reacting polypeptides were abundant in the roots and lower part of the shoots, where they showed homogeneous tissue-distributions. This constitutive expression is novel for vegetative tissues of higher plants, and resembles the expression patterns of sHSPs in desiccation-tolerant zygotic embryos and germinating seeds.J.A. and C.A. contributed equally to this work and are both considered to be first author 相似文献

Differential regulation of small heat-shock genes in plants: analysis of a water-stress-inducible and developmentally activated sunflower promoter 总被引:12,自引:0,他引:12

We have isolated two sunflower genes, Ha hsp 18.6 G2 and Ha hsp 17.7 G4, that encode small heat shock proteins (sHSPs). RNAse A protection experiments, carried out with RNA probes transcribed from each gene and hybridized to sunflower total RNA, allowed us to distinguish their mRNA accumulation patterns. In sunflower, Ha hsp 17.7 G4 mRNAs accumulated during zygotic embryogenesis at 25°C. In vegetative tissues, these mRNAs accumulated in response to either heat shock (42°C), abscisic acid (ABA), or mild water stress treatments. In all cases, the mRNAs were transcribed from the same initiation site. In contrast, Ha hsp 18.6 G2 mRNAs accumulated only in response to heat-shock. This result demonstrates differential regulation of these two sHSP genes. The complex regulation depicted by the Ha hsp 17.7 G4 promoter has been further analyzed in transgenic tobacco, using G4::GUS translational fusions. Developmental induction of Ha hsp 17.7 G4 during zygotic embryogenesis was faithfully reproduced in the transgenic plants. 5-distal sequences (between -1132 and -395) were required to confer a preferential spatial expression of GUS activity in the cotyledons. More proximal sequences (from -83 to +163) conferred to the chimeric genes most of the developmental regulation, and the responses to ABA and heat shock characteristic of the Ha hsp 17.7 G4 promoter. The water stress response of this gene was not reproduced in transgenic tobacco and, thus, could be uncoupled from its regulation during embryogenesis. 相似文献

Most human carcinomas of the exocrine pancreas contain mutant c-K-ras genes 总被引:100,自引:0,他引:100
Using in vitro gene amplification by the polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and mutation detection by the RNAase A mismatch cleavage method, we have examined c-K-ras genes in human pancreatic carcinomas. We used frozen tumor specimens and single 5 micron sections from formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded tumor tissue surgically removed or obtained at autopsy. Twenty-one out of 22 carcinomas of the exocrine pancreas contained c-K-ras genes with mutations at codon 12. In seven cases tested, the mutation was present in both primary tumors and their corresponding metastases. No mutations were detected in normal tissue from the same cancer patients or in five gall bladder carcinomas. We conclude from these results that c-K-ras somatic mutational activation is a critical event in the oncogenesis of most, if not all, human cancers of the exocrine pancreas. 相似文献
