3 beta galactosidase/nicotiana

Tobacco (Nicotiana tabacum L.) microspores at the time of mitosis are characterized by the abundant occurrence of 92- and 98-kDa glycoproteins (GP92 and GP98). GP92 is a soluble protein while GP98 is bound to the insoluble microspore fraction. Both glycoproteins were isolated by affinity

Using yeast two-hybrid assays and a Nicotiana benthamiana cDNA library, we previously identified an N. benthamiana protein, NbPCIP1, that interacts with Potato virus X (PVX) coat protein (CP). We also previously determined that NbPCIP1 enhances PVX replication in plants. To determine the domains

The mechanism underlying the increase of activity of the three O-methyltransferases of tobacco (Nicotiana tabacum) after infection by tobacco mosaic virus (TMV) has been investigated with a density-labeling method. The three O-methyltransferases from healthy or TMV-infected leaves fed with H(2)O or

Chrysanthemum (Chrysanthemum spp.) is a popular potted and cut plant ornamental in Hungary. In September 2012, chrysanthemum plants (Chrysanthemum morifolium Ramat. cv. Palisade) showing wilt symptoms were collected from different greenhouses in the cities of Budakalász and Pilis near Budapest.

A tobacco (Nicotiana tabacum cv. Petite Havana) leaf cDNA library was constructed in the expression vector lambda gt11. Immunological and nucleic acid hybridization screening yielded several cDNAs encoding an M(r) 19,641 precursor to an M(r) 14,420 mature protein which is homologous to Escherichia

Plants and animals recognize conserved flagellin fragments as a signature of bacterial invasion. These immunogenic elicitor peptides are embedded in the flagellin polymer and require hydrolytic release before they can activate cell surface receptors. Although much of flagellin signaling is

A cDNA clone for a monosaccharide transporter (MST1) was isolated from tobacco, which is most strongly expressed in the various sink tissues of mature tobacco plants: roots, flowers, and young leaves. An open reading frame of 1569 bp codes for a protein with 523 amino acids and a calculated

Glyco-design of proteins is a powerful tool in fundamental studies of structure-function relationship and in obtaining profiles optimized for efficacy of therapeutic glycoproteins. Plants and particularly Nicotiana benthamiana, are attractive hosts to produce recombinant glycoproteins and recent

Cucumber mosaic virus (CMV) is a destructive pathogen affecting Capsicum annuum (pepper) production. The pepper Cmr1 gene confers resistance to most CMV strains, but is overcome by CMV-P1 in a process dependent on the CMV-P1 RNA1 helicase domain (P1 helicase). Here, to identify host factors involved

We have investigated whether a spliceosomal protein analogous to the yeast protein, PRP8, was present in higher plants. A protein with a molecular weight > 200 kDa was detected in Western blots of tobacco (Nicotiana tabacum L.) nuclear extracts with affinity-purified antibodies, raised against four

Activity-based protein profiling (ABPP) has emerged as a powerful proteomic approach to study the active proteins in their native environment by using chemical probes that label active site residues in proteins. Traditionally, ABPP is classified as either comparative or competitive ABPP. In this

BACKGROUND Localization and interaction studies of viral proteins provide important information about their replication in their host plants. Tospoviruses (Family Bunyaviridae) are economically important viruses affecting numerous field and horticultural crops. Iris yellow spot virus (IYSV), one of

Negative-stranded tospoviruses (family: Bunyaviridae) are among the most agronomically important viruses. Some of the tospoviruses are known to exist as mixed infections in the same host plant. Iris yellow spot virus (IYSV) and Tomato spotted wilt virus (TSWV) were used to study virus-virus
