Cultured cells of Nicotiana plumbaginifolia, when deprived of exogenous cytokinin, arrest in G2 phase prior to mitosis and then contain cyclin-dependent protein kinase (CDK) that is inactive because phosphorylated on tyrosine (Tyr). The action of cytokinin in stimulating the activation of CDK by
In excised pith parenchyma from Nicotiana tabacum L. cv. Wisconsin Havana 38, auxin (naphthalene-1-acetic acid) together with cytokinin (6-benzylaminopurine) induced a greater than 40-fold increase in a p34cdc2-like protein, recoverable in the p13suc1-binding fraction, that had high H1 histone
Mutants of tobacco vein mottling virus (TVMV) were constructed in which the tyrosine residue (Tyr1860) that links the VPg to the viral RNA was changed to phenylalanine or serine or was inverted in position with the adjacent glycine residue. In another mutant, the tyrosine residue nearest to Tyr1860
The wound-activated biosynthesis of phytoalexin hydroxycinnamic acid amides of tyramine was compared in untransformed and transgenic tobacco (Nicotiana tabacum) lines that express tryptophan decarboxylase (TDC), tyrosine decarboxylase (TYDC), or both activities. Transgenic in vitro-grown tobacco
Tyrosine decarboxylase (EC 4.1.1.25) from Syringa vulgaris L. cell cultures and from Hordeum vulgare L. seedlings is strongly inhibited by the phenylalanine analogue, L-α-aminooxy-β-phenylpropionate. L-α-Aminooxy-β-phenylpropionate is therefore not specific in its inhibitory action against
During last years, selective tyrosine nitration of plant proteins gains importance as well-recognized pathway of direct nitric oxide (NO) signal transduction. Plant microtubules are one of the intracellular signaling targets for NO, however, the molecular mechanisms of NO signal transduction with
Phosphorylation of alphabeta-tubulins dimers by protein tyrosine kinases plays an important role in the regulation of cellular growth and differentiation in animal cells. In plants, however, the role of tubulin tyrosine phosphorylation is unknown and data on this tubulin modification are limited. In
The rat ErbB2 (rErbB2) protein is a 185-kDa glycoprotein belonging to the epidermal growth factor-related proteins (ErbB) of receptor tyrosine kinases. Overexpression and mutations of ErbB proteins lead to several malignancies including breast, lung, pancreatic, bladder and ovary carcinomas. ErbB2
Chitinase isolated from Zea mays seeds is inactivated by 1-ethyl-3-(3-dimethylaminopropyl)carbodiimide (EDC) in the absence of exogenous nucleophiles. Oligomers of N-acetylglucosamine,N,N',N",N"'-tetra-N-acetylchitotetraose (GlcNAc4), and to a lesser extent, N,N',N"-tri-N-acetylchitotriose (GlcNAc3)
Non-protein amino acids, often isomers of the standard 20 protein amino acids, have defense-related functions in many plant species. A targeted search for jasmonate-induced metabolites in cultivated rice (Oryza sativa) identified (R)-β-tyrosine, an isomer of the common amino acid (S)-α-tyrosine in
Feruloyltyramine (FT) and 4-coumaroyltyramine (4CT) participate in the defense of plants against pathogens through their extracellular peroxidative polymerization, which is thought to reduce cell wall digestibility. Hydroxycinnamoyl-CoA:tyramine N-(hydroxycinnamoyl)transferase (THT; EC 2.3.1.110)
The bacterial plant pathogen Pseudomonas syringae possesses a type III protein secretion system that delivers many virulence proteins into plant cells. A subset of these proteins (called Avr proteins) is recognized by the plant's innate immune system and triggers defences. One defence-associated
Both phenylalanine ammonia lyase and tyrosine ammonia lyase were detected in tobacco (Nicotiana tabacum L. Wisconsin 38) callus. The enzymes were separated from each other by Sephadex G-200 column chromatography. Increased activity of tyrosine ammonia lyase was observed during culture of tobacco
Opium poppy (Papaver somniferum) contains a large family of tyrosine/dihydroxyphenylalanine decarboxylase (tydc) genes involved in the biosynthesis of benzylisoquinoline alkaloids and cell wall-bound hydroxycinnamic acid amides. Eight members from two distinct gene subfamilies have been isolated,
We have produced the recombinant intracellular domain of human IA-2 (IA-2ic), a diabetes-associated autoantigen, in plants. This was achieved by transient expression using agroinfiltration of Nicotiana benthamiana plants. The resulting plant-derived IA-2ic had the expected size, reacted with
