The enzymatic activity of fungal xylanase is not necessary for its elicitor activity.
Fungal xylanases from Trichoderma spp. are potent elicitors of defense responses in various plants. To determine whether enzymatic activity is necessary for elicitor activity, we used site-directed mutagenesis to reduce the catalytic activity of xylanase II from Trichoderma reesei. For this, the glutamic acid residue at position 210, which is part of the active center in this family of enzymes,...
متن کاملThe propeptide of human thyroid peroxidase is not required for its cellular, enzymatic or immunological activity
Thyroid Peroxidase (TPO), a dimeric, membrane-bound glycoprotein found in the thyroid follicular lumen, catalyses the biosynthesis of thyroxine, and is also a major autoantigen in autoimmune thyroid disease (AITD). TPO molecules undergo posttranslational modifications such as glycosylation, heme incorporation, dimer formation, and proteolytic processing in the N-terminal region. Due to propepti...
متن کاملEnzymatic activity of CaMKII is not required for its interaction with the glutamate receptor subunit GluN2B.
Binding of the Ca²⁺/calmodulin (CaM)-dependent protein kinase II (CaMKII) to the NMDA-type glutamate receptor subunit GluN2B is an important control mechanism for the regulation of synaptic strength. CaMKII binding to GluN2B and CaMKII translocation to synapses are induced by an initial Ca²⁺/CaM stimulus, which also activates the kinase. Indeed, several mechanistically different CaMKII inhibito...
متن کاملUvrD2 is essential in Mycobacterium tuberculosis, but its helicase activity is not required.
UvrD is an SF1 family helicase involved in DNA repair that is widely conserved in bacteria. Mycobacterium tuberculosis has two annotated UvrD homologues; here we investigate the role of UvrD2. The uvrD2 gene at its native locus could be knocked out only in the presence of a second copy of the gene, demonstrating that uvrD2 is essential. Analysis of the putative protein domain structure of UvrD2...
متن کاملLipid peroxidation is a consequence of elicitor activity.
Elicitor-active preparations from the fungal pathogen of bean Colletotrichum lindemuthianum stimulated the accumulation of products characteristic of lipid peroxidation in treated bean tissues. Bean suspension cells treated with crude and purified elicitors accumulated ;lipofuscin-like pigment' (LEP) and malondialdehyde. The accumulation of LFP after about 6 h of treatment coincided with the on...
