concanavalin a/arabidopsis thaliana

N-glycosylated proteins were isolated from Arabidopsis thaliana mature stems using affinity chromatography on Concanavalin A Sepharose, separated by 2D-electrophoresis and identified using nanoHPLC-MS/MS and MALDI-TOF MS. 102 glycoproteins were identified. 94% of these proteins were predicted by

BACKGROUND Pectobacterium carotovorum subsp. carotovorum (Pcc) is a soft rot bacterium which upon entry into the plant macerates plant tissues by producing plant cell wall degrading enzymes. It has a wide host range which includes carrot, potato, tomato, leafy greens, squash and other cucurbits,

The auxin-binding protein At-ERabp1 is of very low abundance in Arabidopsis thaliana; it hinders any study at the protein level as it is difficult to collect large amounts from the plant. We therefore chose to express At-ERabp1 in baculovirus-infected insect cells. Recombinant baculoviruses were

Multiple isoforms of beta-fructofuranosidase (invertase, EC 3.2.1.26) were identified in mature green leaves of the cruciferous plant Arabidopsis thaliana (L.) Heynh. There were four major and one minor isoforms of soluble acid invertase and an additional activity which could be released from the

The cell wall forms the first line of interaction between the plant and the external environment. Based on the observation that ascorbate-deficient vtc mutants of Arabidopsis thaliana have increased cell wall peroxidase activity, the cell wall glycoproteome of vtc2-2 was investigated. Glycoproteins

The core oligosaccharide Glc(3)Man(9)GlcNAc(2) is assembled by a series of membrane-bound glycosyltransferases as the lipid carrier dolichylpyrophosphate-linked glycan in the endoplasmic reticulum (ER). The first step of this assembly pathway on the ER luminal side is mediated by ALG3

Plant purple acid phosphatases (PAPs) belong to a large multigene family whose specific functions in Pi metabolism are poorly understood. Two PAP isozymes secreted by Pi-deficient (-Pi) Arabidopsis thaliana were purified from culture filtrates of -Pi suspension cells. They correspond to an AtPAP12

Using a polyclonal antibody (P23) generated against the human platelet integrin aIIb beta3 and a FITC-conjugate secondary antibody, fluorescence is observed at the surface of protoplasts isolated from Arabidopsis thaliana and Rubus fruticosus. Arabidopsis thaliana cells grown in suspension culture

Xylem plays a major role in plant development and is considered part of the apoplast. Here, we studied the proteome of Brassica oleracea cv Bartolo and compared it to the plant cell wall proteome of another Brassicaceae, the model plant Arabidopsis thaliana. B. oleracea was chosen because it is

Boron (B) deficiency affects the development of Pisum sativum nodules and Arabidopsis thaliana root meristems. Both organs show an alteration of cell differentiation that result in the development of tumor-like structures. The fact that B in plants is not only able to interact with components of the

The distribution of the N-glycoproteome in integral membrane proteins of the vacuolar membrane (tonoplast) or the plasma membrane of Arabidopsis thaliana and, for further comparison, of the Rattus norvegicus lysosomal and plasma membranes, was analyzed. In silico analysis showed that potential

The complex asparagine-linked glycans of plant glycoproteins, characterized by the presence of beta 1-->2 xylose and alpha 1-->3 fucose residues, are derived from typical mannose9(N-acetylglucosamine)2 (Man9GlcNAc2) N-linked glycans through the activity of a series of glycosidases and glycosyl

GPX-PDE (glycerophosphodiester phosphodiesterase; EC 3.1.4.46) is a relatively poorly characterized enzyme that catalyses the hydrolysis of various glycerophosphodiesters (glycerophosphocholine, glycerophosphoethanolamine, glycerophosphoglycerol, glycerophosphoserine and bis-glycerophosphoglycerol),
