Glycosylphosphatidylinositol-anchored proteins found in the moss Marchantia polymorpha.

چکیده
A suspension culture of the moss Marchantia polymorpha was incubated with either [3H]ethanolamine or [3H]myristic acid, precursors of a glycosylphosphatidylinositol (GPI) anchor. By both of these a secretory protein of 47 kDa was consistently labelled. Amino acid composition analysis of the chromatographically purified 47-kDa protein exhibited the occurrence of ethanolamine and glucosamine at approximate molar ratios to protein of 1 and 4, respectively. Thus the secretory 47-kDa protein of M. polymorpha was concluded to be a GPI-anchored protein.

The liverwort Marchantia polymorpha expresses orthologs of the fungal Agaricus bisporus agglutinin family.
A lectin different from the previously described mannose-binding agglutinins has been isolated from the liverwort Marchantia polymorpha. Biochemical characterization of the purified lectin combined with the data from earlier transcriptome analyses demonstrated that the novel M. polymorpha agglutinin is not related to any of the known plant lectin families, but closely resembles the Agaricus bis...
متن کاملThe mitochondrial genome of the moss Physcomitrella patens sheds new light on mitochondrial evolution in land plants.
The phylogenetic positions of bryophytes and charophytes, together with their genome features, are important for understanding early land plant evolution. Here we report the complete nucleotide sequence (105,340 bp) of the circular-mapping mitochondrial DNA of the moss Physcomitrella patens. Available evidence suggests that the multipartite structure of the mitochondrial genome in flowering pla...
متن کاملProfiling and Characterization of Small RNAs in the Liverwort, Marchantia polymorpha, Belonging to the First Diverged Land Plants.
MicroRNAs (miRNAs) have important roles in gene regulation during plant development. Previous studies revealed that some miRNAs are highly shared by most land plants. Recently, the liverwort, Marchantia polymorpha, has been studied by molecular genetic approaches, and sequencing of its genome is currently underway. The expression pattern and the detailed functions of miRNAs during Marchantia de...
متن کاملA novel alpha-helical protein, specific to and highly conserved in plants, is associated with the nuclear matrix fraction.
A cDNA for a novel plant protein was isolated from tomato. Nuclear Matrix Protein 1 (NMP1) is a ubiquitously expressed 36 kDa protein, which has no homologues in animals and fungi, but is highly conserved among flowering and non-flowering plants, including gymnosperms, moss, and the liverwort Marchantia polymorpha. NMP1 is predominantly alpha-helical with multiple stretches of short amphipathic...
متن کاملPeculiar Evolutionary History of miR390-Guided TAS3-Like Genes in Land Plants
PCR-based approach was used as a phylogenetic profiling tool to probe genomic DNA samples from representatives of evolutionary distant moss taxa, namely, classes Bryopsida, Tetraphidopsida, Polytrichopsida, Andreaeopsida, and Sphagnopsida. We found relatives of all Physcomitrella patens miR390 and TAS3-like loci in these plant taxa excluding Sphagnopsida. Importantly, cloning and sequencing of ...
