Glucose-6-phosphatase (G6P) activity was determined in fresh-frozen, cryostat sections in the shoot apical meristem of Brassica campestris L. Enzymatic activity was differentially distributed in a zonate pattern in the vegetative meristem, but not in the transition and floral meristem. Vegetative
We have examined the effect of the protein phosphatase inhibitors okadaic acid and microcystin on pollen-pistil interactions in Brassica. Inhibitor-treated flowers or floral buds were pollinated with untreated pollen and examined for pollen tube growth by fluorescence microscopy. Our results show
Recognition of self-pollen during the self-incompatibility response in Brassica oleracea is mediated by the binding of a secreted peptide (the S locus cysteine-rich protein) to the S locus receptor kinase (SRK), a member of the plant receptor kinase (PRK) superfamily. Here, we describe the
An acid phosphatase from Brassica nigra (black mustard) leaf petiole cell-suspension cultures has been purified 1633-fold to a final specific activity of 1225 (mumols orthophosphate produced/min)/mg protein and near homogeneity. The native protein was a glycosylated monomer having a molecular mass
A major limitation of the insect cell-baculovirus expression vector system is its poor capacity to perform complex glycosylation, since the glycoproteins produced are usually only of the high-mannose and paucimannose types. Nonetheless, recent evidence indicates that, under various conditions, some
Less than 10% of the acid p-nitrophenylphosphatase activity of plant extracts was sedimentable under a variety of conditions including zonal centrifugation. The sedimentable fraction did not show the latency properties characteristic of animal lysosomes. We conclude that, at least operationally,
The major acid phosphatase (APase) from potato (Solanum tuberosom L. cv Chiefton) tubers has been purified 2289-fold to near homogeneity and a final O-phospho-L-tyrosine (P-Tyr) hydrolyzing specific activity of 1917 [mu]mol Pi produced min-1 mg-1 of protein. Nondenaturing polyacrylamide gel
DNA-binding protein phosphatases (DBPs) have been identified as a novel class of plant-specific regulatory factors playing a role in plant-virus interactions. NtDBP1 from tobacco (Nicotiana tabacum) was shown to participate in transcriptional regulation of gene expression in response to virus
Induction of phosphatase activity is an important component of the plant cell response to phosphate deficiency. Suspension cell cultures of Brassica nigra contain two major inducible acid phosphatase (APase) isozymes; vacuolar phosphoenolpyruvate (PEP) APase and cell wall nonspecific APase.
Bemisia tabaci (Gennadius) B-biotype and Trialeurodes vaporariorum (Westwood) (Hemiptera: Aleyrodidae) often coexist on greenhouse-grown vegetable crops in northern China. The recent spread of B. tabaci B-biotype has largely replaced T. vaporariorum, and B-biotype now overlaps with T. vaporariorum
A single-chain variable fragment (scFv) linked alkaline phosphatase (AP) fusion protein for detection of O,O-diethyl organophosphorus pesticides (O,O-diethyl OPs) was produced and characterized. The scFv gene was prepared by cloning V(L) and V(H) genes from hybridoma cells secreting monoclonal
A heavy chain variable fragment of heavy chain only antibodies derived from camelids termed VHH shows beneficial characteristics for immunoassay in terms of high sensitivity, outstanding stability and ease in expression. In the present study, we isolated six VHHs from phage display library against
We describe the isolation of cDNA clones encoding type 1 serine/threonine protein phosphatase (PP1) from Brassica oleracea stigmas. We demonstrate that PP1 form a multigene family in Brassica. Within their most conserved domain, these phosphatases are 80-90% identical at the amino acid level. One
The procedure of Malhotra and Kayastha ([1990] Plant Physiology 93: 194-200) for the purification to homogeneity of a phosphoenolpyruvate-specific alkaline phosphatase (PEP phosphatase) from germinating mung beans (Vigna radiata) was followed. Although a higher specific activity of 1.4 micromoles
Phosphoenolpyruvate phosphatase from Brassica nigra leaf petiole suspension cells has been purified 1700-fold to apparent homogeneity and a final specific activity of 380 micromole pyruvate produced per minute per milligram protein. Purification steps included: ammonium sulfate fractionation,
