Cotton Cotyledon cDNA Encoding a Peroxidase

Cloning and characterization of a cDNA encoding a novel extracellular peroxidase from Trametes versicolor.

The white rot basidiomycete Trametes versicolor secretes a large number of peroxidases which are believed to be involved in the degradation of polymeric lignin. These peroxidases have been classified previously as lignin peroxidases or manganese peroxidases (MnP). We have isolated a novel extracellular peroxidase-encoding cDNA sequence from T. versicolor CU1, the transcript levels of which are ...

A cDNA encoding ribosomal protein S4e from cotton (Gossypium hirsutum L.).

Ribosomes are complex ribonucleoprotein structures that function as the machinery for synthesizing proteins needed for the maintenance, growth, development, and reproduction of cells. During the biogenesis of these structures, ribosomal precursors, i.e. ribonucleoprotein particles, are formed by the assembly of rRNA and ribosomal proteins in the nucleolus. These particles are processed to matur...

Sequence of a cDNA Encoding Chloroplast

Chloroplast Fru-1,6-bisphosphatase is a key enzyme of the Benson-Calvin cycle for photosynthetic COZ assimilation in higher plants. Although the capacity to hydrolyze Fru-1,6bisP is low in dark-adapted chloroplasts, it increases upon illumination. Numerous authors have identified the Fd-thioredoxin system (Fd, Fd-thioredoxin reductase, thioredoxin) as the mediator in enzyme activation (Wolosiuk...

Identification and Molecular Characterization of the cDNA Encoding Cucumis melo Allergen, Cuc m 3, a Plant Pathogenesis-Related Protein

Background: Melon (Cucumis melo) allergy is one of the most common food allergies, characterized by oral allergy syndrome. To date, two allergen molecules, Cuc m 1 and Cuc m 2, have been fully characterized in melon pulp, but there are few reports about the molecular characteristics of Cuc m 3. Methods:The Cuc m 3 cDNA has been characterized by rapid amplification of cDNA ends (RACE), which ...
