Elicitin-Induced Distal Systemic Resistance in Plants is Mediated Through the Protein–Protein Interactions Influenced by Selected Lysine Residues
Elicitins are a family of small proteins with sterol-binding activity that are secreted by Phytophthora and Pythium sp. classified as oomycete PAMPs. Although α- and β-elicitins bind with the same affinity to one high affinity binding site on the plasma membrane, β-elicitins (possessing 6-7 lysine residues) are generally 50- to 100-fold more active at inducing distal HR and systemic resistance ...
متن کاملResistance of nicotiana benthamiana to phytophthora infestans is mediated by the recognition of the elicitor protein INF1
Phytophthora infestans, the agent of potato and tomato late blight disease, produces a 10-kD extracellular protein, INF1 elicitin. INF1 induces a hypersensitive response in a restricted number of plants, particularly those of the genus Nicotiana. In virulence assays with different P. infestans isolates, five Nicotiana species displayed resistance responses. In all of the interactions, after ino...
متن کاملA novel class of elicitin-like genes from Phytophthora infestans.
Elicitins are a family of structurally related proteins that induce hypersensitive response in specific plant species. Two Phytophthora infestans cDNAs, inf2A and inf2B, potentially encoding novel elicitin-like proteins, were isolated from a cDNA library made from infected potato tissue. Multiple sequence alignments and phylogenetic analyses of 19 elicitins and elicitin-like proteins from nine ...
متن کاملMediation of elicitin activity on tobacco is assumed by elicitin-sterol complexes.
Elicitins secreted by phytopathogenic Phytophthora spp. are proteinaceous elicitors of plant defense mechanisms and were demonstrated to load, carry, and transfer sterols between membranes. The link between elicitor and sterol-loading properties was assessed with the use of site-directed mutagenesis of the 47 and 87 cryptogein tyrosine residues, postulated to be involved in sterol binding. Muta...
متن کاملVariation in structure and activity among elicitins from Phytophthora sojae.
SUMMARY Transcripts encoding elicitin-like protein domains were identified from similarity searches of Phytophthora sojae expressed sequence tags and were characterized with regard to molecular structure and elicitor activity. The P. sojae elicitin family consists of at least nine genes with products similar to previously described elicitins (SOJA-2, SOJB, SOJ2, SOJ3, SOJ5, SOJ6 and SOJ7) or hi...
