The Hal3 protein of Saccharomyces cerevisiae inhibits the activity of PPZ1 type-1 protein phosphatases and functions as a regulator of salt tolerance and cell cycle control. In plants, two HAL3 homologue genes in Arabidopsis thaliana, AtHAL3a and AtHAl3b, have been isolated and the function of
The E1 promoter fragment (-249 to -203) is one of three auxin-response elements (AuxREs) in the soybean (Glycine max L.) GH3 promoter (Z.-B. Liu, T. Ulmasov, X. Shi, G. Hagen, T.J. Guilfoyle [1994] Plant Cell 6: 645-657). Results presented here further characterize and delimit the AuxRE within the
Most of the proline-rich cell wall glycoprotein genes isolated from higher plants are preferentially expressed in the transmitting tissues of the flower organ. In conducting expressed sequence tag (EST) analysis, which was prepared from 5-day-old early roots of hot pepper (Capsicum annuum L. cv.
OBJECTIVE
Hybrid proline-rich proteins (HyPRPs) represent a large family of putative cell-wall proteins characterized by the presence of a variable N-terminal domain and a conserved C-terminal domain that is related to non-specific lipid transfer proteins. The function of HyPRPs remains unclear, but
Tobacco (Nicotiana tabacum L. var Wisconsin 38) cells that are adapted to 428 millimolar NaCl accumulate proline mainly due to increased synthesis from glutamate. These cells were used to evaluate the possible role of Delta(1)-pyrroline-5-carboxylate reductase in the regulation of proline
We studied the stress resistance of genetically modified (GM) tobacco plants bearing an antisense suppressor of the gene for proline dehydrogenase. Such plants are characterized by elevated proline content. The progeny of the transgenic plants were shown to have elevated salt tolerance.
Arabidopsis EARLI-type hybrid proline-rich proteins (HyPRPs) consist of a putative N-terminal secretion signal, a proline-rich domain (PRD), and a characteristic eight-cysteine-motif (8-CM). They have been implicated in biotic and abiotic stress responses. AZI1 is required for systemic acquired
The antisense suppressor was constructed for proline dehydrogenase gene (PDH; a fragment of PDH from Arabidopsis in antisense orientation and under the control of 35S promoter of cauliflower mosaic virus, CMV). In Nicotiana tabacum SR1 tobacco transformants bearing antisense suppressor for PDH, the
It is shown by tracer experiments with DL-[2-3H,5-14C]- and DL-[(RS)-5-3H,5-14C]rnithine, that the metabolic conversion of ornithine into proline, in three plant species (Nicotiana tabacum, Datura stramonium, and Lupinus angustifolius), takes place with maintenance of the delta-hydrogen atoms but
Differences in the amino acid sequence between the bispecific NAD(P)H-nitrate reductase of birch (Betula pendula Roth) and the monospecific NADH-nitrate reductases of a variety of other higher plants have been found at the dinucleotide-binding site in the FAD domain. To pinpoint amino acid residues
The glycoprotein APA (Alanine- and Proline-rich Antigen, a 45/47 kDa antigen complex, Rv1860) is considered as a major immunodominant antigen secreted by M. tuberculosis. This antigen has proved to be highly immunogenic in experimental models and humans, presenting a significant potential for
Proline accumulation is responsible for stress adaptation in many plants. To distinguish the involvement of two proline synthetic pathways, the virus induced gene silencing (VIGS) system that silenced the expression of genes encoding Δ(1)-pyrroline-5-carboxylate synthetase (P5CS; EC:1.5.1.12) and
cDNA clones encoding a novel proline-rich protein (NaPRP4) have been isolated from a Nicotiana alata stylar cDNA library. The N-terminal part of the derived protein is highly rich in proline (32.2%) and contains several repeats such as Lys-Pro-Pro (7 times) and
Tobacco (Nicotiana rustica) plants were stressed by addition of polyethylene glycol solution (-20 bar) to the growth medium. The proline contents and concentrations in total protoplasts, vacuoles, and extravacuolar fractions of these plants have been determined and compared with protoplasts and cell
An NaCl-resistant line has been developed from suspension-cultured tobacco cells (Nicotiana tabacum/gossii) by stepwise increases in the NaCl concentration in the medium. Resistance showed stability through at least 24 generations in the absence of added NaCl.Above an external NaCl concentration of
