Pest Protection Conferred by a Beta vulgaris Serine Proteinase Inhibitor Gene
Proteinase inhibitors provide a means of engineering plant resistance to insect pests. A Beta vulgaris serine proteinase inhibitor gene (BvSTI) was fused to the constitutive CaMV35S promoter for over-expression in Nicotiana benthamiana plants to study its effect on lepidopteran insect pests. Independently derived BvSTI transgenic tobacco T2 homozygous progeny were shown to have relatively high ...
متن کاملLEKTI: a multidomain serine proteinase inhibitor with pathophysiological relevance.
Proteinase inhibitors are important negative regulators of proteinase action in vivo and are thus involved in several pathophysiological processes. Starting with the isolation of two new peptides from human blood filtrate, we succeeded in cloning a cDNA encoding the precursor protein for a novel 15-domain Kazal-type-related serine proteinase inhibitor. Two of the 15 domains almost exactly match...
متن کاملBiochemical characterization of Acacia schweinfurthii serine proteinase inhibitor.
One of the many control mechanisms of serine proteinases is their specific inhibition by protein proteinase inhibitors. An extract of Acacia schweinfurthii was screened for potential serine proteinase inhibition. It was successfully purified to homogeneity by precipitating with 80% (v/v) acetone and sequential chromatographic steps, including ion-exchange, affinity purification and reversed-pha...
متن کاملPrimary structure of potato kunitz-type serine proteinase inhibitor.
The serine proteinase inhibitor (PSPI-21) isolated from potato tubers (Solanum tuberosum L.) comprises two protein species with pI 5.2 and 6.3, denoted as PSPI-21-5.2 and PSPI-21-6.3, respectively. They were separated by anion exchange chromatography on a Mono Q FPLC column. Both species tightly inhibit human leukocyte elastase, whereas their interaction with trypsin and chymotrypsin is substan...
متن کاملInhibitor complexes of the Pseudomonas serine-carboxyl proteinase.
Crystal structures of the serine-carboxyl proteinase from Pseudomonas sp. 101 (PSCP), complexed with a number of inhibitors, have been solved and refined at high- to atomic-level resolution. All of these inhibitors (tyrostatin, pseudo-tyrostatin, AcIPF, AcIAF, and chymostatin, as well as previously studied iodotyrostatin and pseudo-iodotyrostatin) make covalent bonds to the active site Ser287 t...
