patatin/タバコ属

Patatin, the most abundant protein in the storage parenchyma cells of potato (Solanum tuberosum L.) tubers, is a vacuolar glycoprotein that consists of a number of closely related polypeptides and is encoded by a large gene family. To analyse the glycosylation pattern and the nature of the glycans

IgE-mediated hypersensitivity to latex proteins present in health care products, particularly in latex gloves, has become an important public health problem in recent years. We purified natural Hev b 7, a 43-kDa patatin-like allergen from the latex of Hevea brasiliensis and determined several

The soil-borne ascomycete fungus Verticillium dahliae causes vascular wilt disease and can seriously diminish the yield and quality of important crops. Functional analysis of growth- and pathogenicity-related genes is essential for revealing the pathogenic molecular mechanism of V. dahliae.

Although patatin was initially identified as a major storage protein in potato tubers, patatin-like proteins (PLPs) have been recently reported to be widely present in many plant species and shown to be involved in plant-pathogen interactions. However, it is not clear whether PLPs are involved in

Rapid activation of phospholipase A (PLA) by auxin or plant-pathogen interaction suggests a function in signal transduction for this enzyme, but the molecular identification of a cytosolic PLA carrying out this function remains open. We isolated four cDNA sequences from Arabidopsis (ecotype

The murine monoclonal antibody (mAB) S19 recognizes an N-linked carbohydrate antigen designated sperm agglutination antigen-1 (SAGA1) located on the membrane protein CD52. This antigen is added to the sperm surface during epididymal maturation. Binding of the S19 mAB to SAGA-1 causes the rapid
