The internal propeptide of the ricin precursor carries a sequence-specific determinant for vacuolar sorting.
Ricin is a heterodimeric toxin that accumulates in the storage vacuoles of castor bean (Ricinus communis) endosperm. Proricin is synthesized as a single polypeptide precursor comprising the catalytic A chain and the Gal-binding B chain joined by a 12-amino acid linker propeptide. Upon arrival in the vacuole, the linker is removed. Here, we replicate these events in transfected tobacco (Nicotian...
متن کاملThe barley lectin carboxyl-terminal propeptide is a vacuolar protein sorting determinant in plants.
We have previously shown that the 15-amino acid carboxyl-terminal propeptide of probarley lectin is necessary for the proper sorting of this protein to the plant vacuole. A mutant form of the protein lacking the carboxyl-terminal propeptide is secreted. To test whether the carboxyl-terminal propeptide is the vacuole sorting determinant of probarley lectin, we examined in transgenic tobacco the ...
متن کاملContribution of Chitinase A’s C-Terminal Vacuolar Sorting Determinant to the Study of Soluble Protein Compartmentation
Plant chitinases have been studied for their importance in the defense of crop plants from pathogen attacks and for their peculiar vacuolar sorting determinants. A peculiarity of the sequence of many family 19 chitinases is the presence of a C-terminal extension that seems to be important for their correct recognition by the vacuole sorting machinery. The 7 amino acids long C-terminal vacuolar ...
متن کاملThe GTPase ARF1p controls the sequence-specific vacuolar sorting route to the lytic vacuole.
We have studied the transport of soluble cargo molecules by inhibiting specific transport steps to and from the Golgi apparatus. Inhibition of export from the Golgi via coexpression of a dominant-negative GTP-restricted ARF1 mutant (Q71L) inhibits the secretion of alpha-amylase and simultaneously induces the secretion of the vacuolar protein phytepsin to the culture medium. By contrast, specifi...
متن کاملSpecific accumulation of GFP in a non-acidic vacuolar compartment via a C-terminal propeptide-mediated sorting pathway.
The green fluorescent protein (GFP) from Aequorea victoria can be detected in living plant cells after transient transformation of protoplasts. Expression of the GFP can be used to monitor protein trafficking in a mixed cell population and also to study the different function and importance of organelles in different cell types. We developed a vacuolar form of GFP that was obtained by replacing...
