Comparative analyses of three legume species reveals conserved and unique root extracellular proteins.

چکیده
Increasing evidence suggests that root extracellular proteins are involved in interactions between roots and their soil environment. In the present study, exudates released by 6-day-old roots of the three legume species white lupin (Lupinus albus), soybean (Glycine max), and cowpea (Vigna sinensis) were collected under axenic conditions, and their constitutively secreted proteomes were analyzed. Between 42 and 93 unique root extracellular proteins with 2 or more different peptide fragments per protein were identified by LC-MS/MS. Functional annotation of these proteins classified them into 14-16 different functional categories. Among those 14 homologous proteins were identified in at least two legume species. Among the unique proteins, 58 in white lupin, 85 in soybean, and 31 in cowpea were specific for each plant species, and many of them were classified in the same functional categories. Interestingly, in contrast to soybean and cowpea, two protein bands of approximately 16 and 30 kDa were present on the SDS-PAGE gel of white lupin. The identification of these bands revealed a class III chitinase and a thaumatin-like protein. Both belong to the class of pathogenesis-related proteins. The results imply that root extracellular proteins play important roles in the cross-talk between plant roots and the rhizosphere.

Genome-wide identification and comparison of legume MLO gene family
MLO proteins are highly conserved proteins with seven trans-membrane domains. Specific MLO genes have been linked to plant disease susceptibility. Others are involved in plant reproduction and in root thigmomorphogenesis. Functions of the remaining MLOs are still unknown. Here we performed a genome-wide survey of the MLO family in eight legume species from different clades of the Papillionoidea...
متن کاملComparative in silico analyses of proteins involved in serum resistance as promising vaccine candidates against Acinetobacter baumannii
Introduction: Acinetobacter baumannii as a Gram-negative coccobacillus has become a major cause of hospital-acquired infections. The virulence factors involved in serum resistance are important targets in the development of an effective vaccine against this pathogen. Our aim in this project was in silico analyses of A. baumannii proteins involved in serum resistance which could potentially be u...
متن کاملProteome analysis of Cryptosporidium parvum and C. hominis using two-dimentional electrophoresis, image analysis and tandem mass spectrometry
Until recently, Cryptosporidium was thought to be a single species genus. Molecular studies now showthat there are at least 10 valid species of this parasite. Among them, two morphologically identical species, C.hominis and C. parvum are the most pathogenic identified to date and share 97% of identical genomes.Post-genomic analyses is therefore necessary to explore further the...

Background: Gossypium thurberi is a wild diploid species that has been used to improve cultivated allotetraploid cotton. G. thurberi belongs to D genome, which is an important wild bio-source for the cotton breeding and genetic research. To a certain degree, chloroplast DNA sequence information are a versatile tool for species identification and phylogenetic implications in plants. Different ch...
متن کاملReceptor-mediated chitin perception in legume roots is functionally separable from Nod factor perception.
The ability of root cells to distinguish mutualistic microbes from pathogens is crucial for plants that allow symbiotic microorganisms to infect and colonize their internal root tissues. Here we show that Lotus japonicus and Medicago truncatula possess very similar LysM pattern-recognition receptors, LjLYS6/MtLYK9 and MtLYR4, enabling root cells to separate the perception of chitin oligomeric m...
