Increased expression of the calmodulin gene of the late blight fungus Phytophthora infestans during pathogenesis on potato.

Only registered users can translate articles

In order to isolate in planta-induced genes encoding putative pathogenicity factors of the late blight fungus Phytophthora infestans, a genomic library was differentially screened. For the differential hybridization, labeled first-strand cDNA synthesized on mRNA isolated from P. infestans-infected

Regulated expression of a calmodulin isoform alters growth and development in potato.

Only registered users can translate articles

A transgene approach was taken to study the consequences of altered expression of a calmodulin isoform on plant growth and development. Eight genomic clones of potato calmodulin (PCM1 to 8) have been isolated and characterized (Takezawa et al., 1995). Among the potato calmodulin isoforms studied,

Cloning and characterization of a sweet potato calmodulin SPCAM that participates in ethephon-mediated leaf senescence, H2O2 elevation and senescence-associated gene expression.

Only registered users can translate articles

In this report a full-length cDNA, SPCAM, was isolated from ethephon-treated mature leaves of sweet potato. SPCAM contained 450 nucleotides (149 amino acids) in its open reading frame, and exhibited high amino acid sequence identities (ca. 76-100%) with several plant calmodulins, including

Sweet potato calmodulin SPCAM is involved in salt stress-mediated leaf senescence, H₂O₂ elevation and senescence-associated gene expression.

Only registered users can translate articles

The sweet potato calmodulin gene, SPCAM, was previously cloned and shown to participate in ethephon-mediated leaf senescence, H₂O₂ elevation and senescence-associated gene expression. In this report, an association of SPCAM with NaCl stress is reported. Expression of SPCAM was significantly enhanced

Isolation and characterization of a novel calmodulin-binding protein from potato.

Only registered users can translate articles

Tuberization in potato is controlled by hormonal and environmental signals. Ca(2+), an important intracellular messenger, and calmodulin (CaM), one of the primary Ca(2+) sensors, have been implicated in controlling diverse cellular processes in plants including tuberization. The regulation of

Structure of potato calmodulin PCM6: the first report of the three-dimensional structure of a plant calmodulin.

Only registered users can translate articles

The crystal structure of a potato calmodulin (PCM6) was solved by molecular replacement and refined to a crystallographic R factor of 22.8% (R(free) = 25.0%) using X-ray diffraction data in the resolution range 8.0-2.0 A. This is the first report of the three-dimensional structure of a plant

Catalase activity is modulated by calcium and calmodulin in detached mature leaves of sweet potato.

Only registered users can translate articles

Catalase (CAT) functions as one of the key enzymes in the scavenging of reactive oxygen species and affects the H2O2 homeostasis in plants. In sweet potato, a major catalase isoform was detected, and total catalase activity showed the highest level in mature leaves (L3) compared to immature (L1) and

Calmodulin gene family in potato: developmental and touch-induced expression of the mRNA encoding a novel isoform.

Only registered users can translate articles

Eight genomic clones of potato calmodulin (PCM1 to 8) were isolated and characterized. Sequence comparisons of different genes revealed that the deduced amino acid sequence of PCM1 had several unique substitutions, especially in the fourth Ca(2+)-binding area. The expression patterns of different

Potato protein kinase StCPK1: a putative evolutionary link between CDPKs and CRKs.

Only registered users can translate articles

Calcium-dependent protein kinases (CDPKs) in plants are characterized by a four-domain structure including conserved sequences in the catalytic domain, and in the C-terminal calmodulin-like domain. Based on this conservation we have PCR-amplified and isolated a potato cDNA clone (StCPK1) from a

A potato cDNA encoding a homologue of mammalian multidrug resistant P-glycoprotein.

Only registered users can translate articles

A homologue of the multidrug resistance (MDR) gene was obtained while screening a potato stolon tip cDNA expression library with 35S-labeled calmodulin. The mammalian MDR gene codes for a membrane-bound P-glycoprotein (170-180 kDa) which imparts multidrug resistance to cancerous cells. The potato

Dynamic proteomic profile of potato tuber during its in vitro development.

Only registered users can translate articles

Potato tuberization is a complicated biochemical process, which is dependent on external environmental factors. Tuber development in potato consists of a series of biochemical and morphological processes at the stolon tip. Signal transduction proteins are involved in the source-sink transition

Histone H3 gene is not a suitable marker to distinguish Alternaria tenuissima from A. alternata affecting potato.

Only registered users can translate articles

Potato Alternaria leaf blight is one of the economically most important disease in potato production worldwide. A recent study reported a quick method to distinguish main Alternaria pathogens A. tenuissima, A. alternata, and A. solani using partial histone H3 gene sequences. Using this method, our

Crystal structure of kinesin regulated by Ca(2+)-calmodulin.

Only registered users can translate articles

Kinesins orchestrate cell division by controlling placement of chromosomes. Kinesins must be precisely regulated or else cell division fails. Calcium, a universal second messenger in eukaryotes, and calmodulin regulate some kinesins by causing the motor to dissociate from its biological track, the

Identification of a calmodulin-binding site within the domain I of Bacillus thuringiensis Cry3Aa toxin.

Only registered users can translate articles

Bacillus thuringiensis Cry3Aa toxin is a coleopteran specific toxin highly active against Colorado Potato Beetle (CPB).We have recently shown that Cry3Aa toxin is proteolytically cleaved by CPB midgut membrane associated metalloproteases and that this cleavage is inhibited by ADAM metalloprotease

Sequencing, De Novo assembly and annotation of the Colorado Potato Beetle, Leptinotarsa decemlineata, Transcriptome.

Only registered users can translate articles

BACKGROUND The Colorado potato beetle (Leptinotarsa decemlineata) is a major pest and a serious threat to potato cultivation throughout the northern hemisphere. Despite its high importance for invasion biology, phenology and pest management, little is known about L. decemlineata from a genomic
