Purification of chitinolytic protein from Rehmannia glutinosa showing N-terminal amino acid sequence similarity to thaumatin-like proteins.

چکیده
We have purified a 21-kDa protein, designated as P1, from Rehmannia glutinosa to homogeneity by ammonium sulfate precipitation, anion exchange chromatography, hydrophobic interaction chromatography, and preparative native PAGE. The purified P1 had chitin degradation activity. The N-terminal amino acid sequence of P1 indicated that it is very similar to those of thaumatin and other reported thaumatin-like proteins.

Heterologous Expression of the Secale cereal Thaumatin-Like Protein in Transgenic Canola Plants Enhances Resistance to Stem Rot Disease
Canola (Brassica napus L.) is an important oilseed crop. A serious problem in cultivation of this crop andyield loss, are due to fungal disease stem rot caused by Sclerotinia sclerotiorum. The pathogenesis-related(PR) proteins have the potential for enhancing resistance against fungal pathogen. Thaumatin-like proteins(TLPs) have been shown to have antifungal activity on variou...
متن کاملNucleotide sequence of a cDNA clone encoding a thaumatin-like protein from Arabidopsis.
SAR in plants is found to correlate with induction of a set of putative defense genes including PR proteins (Linthorst, 1991). The PR proteins are a group of extracellular proteins that are induced by different phytopathogens such as viruses, bacteria, and fungi, and SAR-inducing compounds such as salicylic acid and 2,6-dichloroisonicotinic acid (Bol et al., 1990; Uknes et al., 1992). These pro...
متن کاملCloning, molecular characterization, and expression analysis of a nucleoporin gene (rgNUP98-96) from Rehmannia glutinosa.
Nucleoporin 98 (NUP98) and nucleoporin 96 (NUP96) are essential components of the nuclear pore complex (NPC) in eukaryote cells. However, there is a lack of available information about complete Rehmannia glutinosa NUP98-96 (rgNUP98-96) sequences. Here, the full-length cDNA sequence of rgNUP96-98 was isolated from R. glutinosa using rapid amplification of cDNA ends (RACE) technology, based on a ...
متن کاملNonomuraea fuscirosea sp. nov., an actinomycete isolated from the rhizosphere soil of rehmannia (Rehmannia glutinosa Libosch).
A novel actinomycete, designated strain NEAU-dht8(T), was isolated from the rhizosphere soil of rehmannia (Rehmannia glutinosa Libosch) and characterized using a polyphasic approach. The organism was found to have morphological and chemotaxonomic characteristics typical of the genus Nonomuraea. The G+C content of the DNA was 68.47 mol%. On the basis of 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity studies,...
متن کاملIdentification and kinetics of accumulation of proteins induced by ethylene in bean abscission zones.
A two-dimensional gel electrophoresis system that combines a cationic polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis at pH near neutrality with sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis was used to analyze the spectrum of basic polypeptides that accumulate in bean (Phaseolus vulgaris) abscission zones after treatment with ethylene. Results showed that, as abscission progressed, at least sev...
