Phytotoxicity and innate immune responses induced by Nep1-like proteins.
We show that oomycete-derived Nep1 (for necrosis and ethylene-inducing peptide1)-like proteins (NLPs) trigger a comprehensive immune response in Arabidopsis thaliana, comprising posttranslational activation of mitogen-activated protein kinase activity, deposition of callose, production of nitric oxide, reactive oxygen intermediates, ethylene, and the phytoalexin camalexin, as well as cell death...
متن کاملMolecular characterization and functional analysis of the Nep1-like protein-encoding gene from Phytophthora capsici.
Phytophthora capsici is an aggressive plant pathogen that affects solanaceous and cucurbitaceous hosts. Nep1-like proteins (NLPs) are a group of effectors found particularly in oomycetes and considered important virulence factors. We identified an NLP gene (phcnlp1) from the highly virulent P. capsici strain Phyc12 that had an encoded polypeptide of 476-amino acid residues and a predicted molec...
متن کاملFunctional diversity of ankyrin repeats in microbial proteins.
The ankyrin repeat (ANK) is the most common protein-protein interaction motif in nature, and is predominantly found in eukaryotic proteins. Genome sequencing of various pathogenic or symbiotic bacteria and eukaryotic viruses has identified numerous genes encoding ANK-containing proteins that are proposed to have been acquired from eukaryotes by horizontal gene transfer. However, the recent disc...
متن کاملMicrobial Diversity: Genetic Diversity Vs Functional Diversity
Diversity is the main descriptor of community structure and is a determining factor in the dynamics and function of ecological communities [1]. However, the latter implicitly differs based on the different types of organisms and their relative abundance within the community which is considered to be significant [2]. Research in microbial ecology focuses on the study of microbial community dynam...
