Expression and biological activity of the cystine knot bioinsecticide PA1b (Pea Albumin 1 Subunit b).

Only registered users can translate articles

The PA1b (Pea Albumin 1, subunit b) peptide is an entomotoxin extract from Legume seeds with lethal activity on several insect pests, such as mosquitoes, some aphids and cereal weevils. This 37 amino-acid cysteine-rich peptide has been, until now, obtained by biochemical purification or chemical

Transient expression of human serum albumin (HSA) in tobacco leaves

Only registered users can translate articles

Today, recombinant human proteins make up a considerable part of FDA-approved biotechnological drugs. The selection of proper expression platform for manufacturing recombinant protein is a vital factor in achieving the optimal yield and quality of a biopharmaceutical in a timely fashion. This

Studies of the role of the propeptides of the Arabidopsis thaliana 2S albumin.

Only registered users can translate articles

To investigate the possible roles of the Arabidopsis thaliana 2S albumin propeptides with respect to sorting, processing, and stability of the protein in plant cells, five gene constructions deleting or modifying the propeptides were made based on one of the genes encoding the Arabidopsis 2S

Isolation by improved thermal asymmetric interlaced PCR and characterization of a seed-specific 2S albumin gene and its promoter from grape (Vitis vinifera L.).

Only registered users can translate articles

A seed-specific 2S albumin gene and its promoter region of grape (Vitis vinifera L.) were isolated using an improved thermal asymmetric interlaced PCR that allowed efficient amplification of target sequence of up to 3 kbp in length directly from genomic DNA. The 2S albumin VvAlb1 (for V. vinifera 2S

Sequence-specific, Golgi-dependent vacuolar targeting of castor bean 2S albumin.

Only registered users can translate articles

The targeting of the castor bean (Ricinus communis) 2S albumin precursor has been investigated by expressing cDNA in transformed tobacco (Nicotiana tabacum) leaf cells and by following biosynthesis in the native tissue. Correct targeting in both tissues was accompanied by processing of the

The vacuolar targeting signal of the 2S albumin from Brazil nut resides at the C terminus and involves the C-terminal propeptide as an essential element.

Only registered users can translate articles

Genetic constructs in which different N- and C-terminal segments of Brazil nut (Bertholletia excelsa H.B.K.) 2S albumin were fused to secretory yeast invertase were transformed into tobacco (Nicotiana tabacum) plants to investigate the vacuolar targeting signal of the 2S albumin. None of the

A chimeric gene encoding the methionine-rich 2S albumin of the Brazil nut (Bertholletia excelsa H.B.K.) is stably expressed and inherited in transgenic grain legumes.

Only registered users can translate articles

The coding region of the 2S albumin gene of Brazil nut (Bertholletia excelsa H.B.K.) was completely synthesized, placed under control of the cauliflower mosaic virus (CaMV) 35S promoter and inserted into the binary vector plasmid pGSGLUC1, thus giving rise to pGSGLUC1-2S. This was used for

Modified 2S albumins with improved tryptophan content are correctly expressed in transgenic tobacco plants.

Only registered users can translate articles

Brazil nut 2S albumins lack the essential amino acid tryptophan. In order to improve the protein's nutritional value and create a basis for structural investigations, three separate modified Brazil nut 2S albumin genes were constructed. The first mutant contains five consecutive tryptophan codons,

Use of protein in extraction and stabilization of nitrate reductase.

Only registered users can translate articles

The in vitro instability of nitrate reductase (EC 1.6.6.1) activity from leaves of several species of higher plants was investigated. Decay of activity was exponential with time, suggesting that an enzyme-catalyzed reaction was involved. The rate of decay of nitrate reductase activity increased as

Effects of seed-specific expression of a cytokinin biosynthetic gene on canola and tobacco phenotypes.

Only registered users can translate articles

The Agrobacterium tumefaciens isopentenyl transferase gene (ipt), a cytokinin biosynthetic gene, was placed under the control of 1.9 kb of promoter sequence from the 2S albumin AT2S1 gene isolated from an Arabidopsis thaliana library. The construct was introduced into canola (Brassica napus) and

[Tobacco cell cultures and their significance].

Only registered users can translate articles

Tobacco (Nicotiana tabacum L.) and related species had played a pioneer role in the development of plant biotechnology in particular in elaboration of in vitro cultures. There are several types of such cultures, of which the cell suspension cultures in liquid media are considered to be the most

A specific radioimmunoassay for nanogram quantities of the auxin, indole-3-acetic acid.

Only registered users can translate articles

We have developed a specific radioimmunoassay [RIA] for indole-3-acetic acid (IAA) in the 0.2 ng to 12 ng range which, in principle, can be extended to other indole auxins as well. Methods are presented for obtaining suitable antibody, for the RIA procedure, and for measuring IAA in methanolic

Effect of ozone on swelling of tobacco mitochondria.

Only registered users can translate articles

The swelling of mitochondria isolated from leaves, roots, and callus tissues of Nicotiana tabacum, L, var. White Gold, was measured by following changes in optical density at 520 mmu in buffered 0.25 m sucrose or 0.125 m KCl. Ozone induced rapid swelling of the isolated mitochondria and increased

A peptide derived from enzymatic digestion of globulins from amaranth shows strong affinity binding to the replication origin of Tomato yellow leaf curl virus reducing viral replication in Nicotiana benthamiana.

Only registered users can translate articles

Tomato yellow leaf curl virus (TYLCV; genus Begomovirus; family Geminiviridae) infects mainly plants of the family Solanaceae, and the infection induces curling and chlorosis of leaves, dwarfing of the whole plant, and reduced fruit production. Alternatives for direct control of TYLCV and other

Nuclear location of the 16K non-structural protein of tobacco rattle virus.

Only registered users can translate articles

An antiserum, elicited by a synthetic peptide coupled to bovine serum albumin, reacted specifically with the non-structural 16K protein of tobacco rattle virus. The protein was detected in extracts of systemically infected Nicotiana clevelandii leaves, but only in those made with the aid of SDS,
