摘要: Pathogenesis-related (PR)-5 proteins are a family of that induced by different phytopathogens in many plants and share significant sequence similarity with thaumatin. We isolated complementary DNA (ATLP-3) encoding PR5-like protein from Arabidopsis which is distinct two other previously reported PR5 cDNAs the same plant species. The predicted ATLP-3 its amino-terminal signal 245 amino acids length acidic pI 4.8. deduced acid shows thaumatin-like contains putative at amino-terminus. expression related gene (ATLP-1) we was pathogen infection salicylic acid, known inducer pathogenesis-related genes. Southern blot analysis indicates ATLP-1 coded single-copy To study effect on fungal growth, cDNA regions corresponding to mature were expressed Escherichia coli encoded purified. cross-reacted anti-osmotin anti-zeamatin antibodies. showed antifungal activity against several pathogens suggesting may be involved defense pathogens.
