The capsid protein of Plum pox virus (PPV-CP) is modified with O-linked GlcNAc (O-GlcNAc). While Arabidopsis has two O-GlcNAc transferases, SECRET AGENT (SEC) and SPINDLY (SPY), previous work suggests that SEC modifies PPV-CP and that the modification plays a role in the infection process. Here, we show that when co-expressed in Escherichia coli SEC modifies PPV-CP. Deletion mapping and site-directed mutagenesis identified three threonine and a serine located near the N-terminus of PPV-CP that are modified by SEC. Two of these threonines have recently been shown to be modified in virus from plants suggesting that SEC has the same specificity in plants and E. coli. 相似文献

SPY acts as a negative regulator of gibberellin (GA) action in Arabidopsis, but its mode of action and regulation are still unknown. SPY over-expression in transgenic petunia plants affected various GA-regulated processes, including seed germination, shoot elongation, flower initiation, flower development and the expression of a GA-induced gene, GIP. A similar phenotype was obtained when wild-type petunia plants were treated with the GA-biosynthesis inhibitor, paclobutrazol. The N-terminus of SPY contains tetratricopeptide repeats (TPR). TPR motifs participate in protein-protein interactions, suggesting that SPY is part of a multiprotein complex. To test this hypothesis, we over-expressed the SPY's TPR region without the catalytic domain in transgenic petunia and generated a dominant-negative SPY mutant. The transgenic seeds were able to germinate on paclobutrazol, suggesting an enhanced GA signal. We cloned the petunia SPY homologue, PhSPY, and showed that its mRNA level is not affected by GA or ABA. The results of this study support the role of SPY as a negative regulator of GA action, suggest that the TPR domain is required for the interaction with other proteins to form an active complex and indicate that different plants use similar mechanisms to transduce the GA signal. 相似文献

A large number of O-linked N-acetylglucosamine (O-GlcNAc) residues have been mapped in vertebrate proteins, however targets of O-GlcNAcylation in plants still have not been characterized. We show here that O-GlcNAcylation of the N-terminal region of the capsid protein of Plum pox virus resembles that of animal proteins in introducing O-GlcNAc monomers. Thr-19 and Thr-24 were specifically O-GlcNAcylated. These residues are surrounded by amino acids typical of animal O-GlcNAc acceptor sites, suggesting that the specificity of O-GlcNAc transferases is conserved among plants and animals. In laboratory conditions, mutations preventing O-GlcNAcylation of Thr-19 and Thr-24 did not have noticeable effects on PPV competence to infect Prunus persicae or Nicotiana clevelandii. However, the fact that Thr-19 and Thr-24 are highly conserved among different PPV strains suggests that their O-GlcNAc modification could be relevant for efficient competitiveness in natural conditions. 相似文献
