Biological function of pathogenesis-related proteins: Four tobacco pathogenesis-related proteins are chitinases.
Four endochitinases (poly[1,4-(N-acetyl-beta-D-glucosaminide)] glycanohydrolase, EC 3.2.1.14) have been purified from leaves of Nicotiana tabacum cv. Samsun NN reacting hypersensitively to tobacco mosaic virus. Two of them are acidic proteins of molecular weights 27,500 and 28,500 and have been identified as 2 of the 10 pathogenesis-related proteins that are known to accumulate in tobacco in re...
متن کاملPathogenesis-related proteins are developmentally regulated in tobacco flowers.
The accumulation of pathogenesis-related proteins (PR) in tobacco leaves has been casually related to pathogen and specific physiological stresses. The known enzymatic function of some of these proteins is potentially antimicrobial. By using antibodies specific to three classes of pathogenesis-related proteins, we examined tobacco plants during their normal growth. The pathogenesis-related prot...
متن کاملInduction of pathogenesis-related proteins in tobacco leaves.
The synthesis of pathogenesis-related proteins (PR proteins), induced in tobacco leaves in response to infection with tobacco mosaic virus or treatment with salicylic acid, was studied with in vivo pulse-labeling experiments. PR proteins synthesis began after a lag phase of about 8 hours in leaf discs treated with salicylic acid and after more than 18 hours in those infected with tobacco mosaic...
متن کاملSynthesis and localization of pathogenesis-related proteins in tobacco.
The PR1 family of pathogenesis-related proteins from tobacco (Nicotiana tabacum L.) leaves is induced by a variety of pathogenic and chemical agents and is associated with resistance to tobacco mosaic virus. The majority of the PR1 proteins did not copurify with mesophyll protoplasts (the major cell type of the leaf) isolated from tobacco mosaic virus-infected N. tabacum cv. Xanthi-nc leaves. H...
متن کاملAre 'Pathogenesis-related' Proteins Involved in Acquired Systemic Resistance of Tobacco Plants to Tobacco Mosaic Virus
Four host-coded 'pathogenesis-related' proteins accumulate systemically in locallesion-forming varieties of tobacco after infection with tobacco mosaic virus. It has been suggested that they are involved in the acquired systemic resistance of plants to a second inoculation. Pathogenesis-related protein concentration and amount of resistance (reduction in size and number of lesions formed in the...
