Identification, Cloning, And Expression Of Tobacco Responsive To Dehydration Like Protein (Rd22), Sbip-355 And Its Role In Sabp2 Mediated Sa Pathway In Plant Defense, Hanadi Abdulaali Almazroue Dec 2014

Identification, Cloning, And Expression Of Tobacco Responsive To Dehydration Like Protein (Rd22), Sbip-355 And Its Role In Sabp2 Mediated Sa Pathway In Plant Defense, Hanadi Abdulaali Almazroue

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

Abscisic acid (ABA) induces RD22, responsive to dehydration stress gene. Salicylic acid (SA) has been the focus of research due to its role against pathogens and abiotic stress. Interaction between ABA and SA signaling pathways is still poorly understood. SA-Binding Protein 2 (SABP2) converts methyl salicylate to SA. An attempt was made to identify proteins that interact with SABP2 using a yeast 2-hybrid screening. Several interactors were identified. One of them, SA-Binding Protein 2 Interacting Protein-355 (SBIP-355), showed high homology to RD22. Bioinformatic approaches showed that SBIP-355 contains a BURP domain. Phylogenetic analysis reveals that SBIP-355 clustered into the …

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

Plants are in a perpetual evolutionary arms race with a wide range of pathogens. Their sessile nature has led plants to evolve defense mechanisms that can quickly recognize a unique stressor and deploy a resistance tailored for a specific attack. The salicylic acid (SA) mediated defense pathway has been shown to be one of the major defense tactics plants can initiate to defend themselves against microbial pathogens. Following a pathogen attack high levels of methyl salicylate (MeSA) are produced that can be converted to SA by the enzyme salicylic acid binding protein 2 (SABP2). A yeast two-hybrid screening was performed …


Cloning And Expression Of A Tobacco Stearoyl-Acp Desaturase Gene Sbip24 And Its Interaction With Sabp2 In Sa Pathway, Amin J. Ferdous Dec 2014

Cloning And Expression Of A Tobacco Stearoyl-Acp Desaturase Gene Sbip24 And Its Interaction With Sabp2 In Sa Pathway, Amin J. Ferdous

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

Salicylic acid binding protein 2 (SABP2) that converts methyl salicylate to salicylic acid (SA) plays an obligatory role in the SA-mediated disease resistance pathway in plants. SABP2 interacts with SBIP24 in a yeast two-hybrid screening. SBIP24 belongs to the stearoyl-acyl carrier protein-desaturase protein family. To biochemically characterize the SBIP24, it was cloned from tobacco leaves using RT-PCR and expressed in E. coli. Recombinant SBIP24 was affinity purified using Ni-NTA chromatography. RT-PCR was performed to determine the role of SABP2 in modulating the expression SBIP24. TMV infected transgenic C3 (control tobacco plant containing empty silencing vector) and 1-2 (SABP2-silenced) …

Characterization Of A Putative Sir2 Like Deacetylase And Its Role In Sabp2 Dependent Salicylic Acid Mediated Pathways In Plant, Md I. Haq

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

Salicylic Acid Binding Protein2 (SABP2) is an enzyme known to play important role in SA mediated pathway. SBIP-428 (SABP2 Interacting Protein-428), a SIR2 like deacetylase, has been found to interact with SABP2. We demonstrate that SBIP-428 functions as a Sirtuin deacetylase. We show that SBIP-428 itself is lysine acetylated. Interactions of a SBIP-428 with SABP2 also raised the possibility of SABP2 itself being lysine acetylated. The recombinant purified SABP2 or native partially purified SABP2 displayed no acetylation. In response to TMV infection, the expression of SBIP-428 was down regulated at 48 hpi. In addition, SBIP-428 was up regulated in plant …
