Cloning of a class III acidic chitinase from chickpea.
From chickpea (Cicer arietinum L.), one ,f3-1,3-glucanase and two chitinases were purified and characterized (Vogelsang and Barz, 1993). The P-l,S-glucanase and one chitinase each with a basic isoelectric point (class I) were shown to be localized in vacuoles, whereas the second class 111 acidic chitinase revealed an extracellular localization (Mackenbrock et al., 1992). Here we report on the c...
متن کاملcDNA cloning and expression of a class II acidic chitinase from sweet orange.
A citrus cDNA encoding a class II acidic chitinase was isolated from a nonembryogenic cell line of sweet orange using the tobacco cDNA clone PROB3. Northern blot analysis revealed that the corresponding mRNA is expressed in young, green bark but not in leaves, roots, or flavedo.
متن کاملRice class III chitinase homologues isolated by random cloning of rice cDNAs.
We obtained seven kinds of cDNA clones putatively identified as encoding class III chitinases from cDNA libraries constructed from dichlorophenoxyacetic acid (2,4-D)- and benzyl adenine (BA)- treated rice callus. Putative amino acid sequences encoded in these cDNA clones were compared with those of known chitinases of other plants. Two clones coded for homologues that show high similarity to cl...
متن کاملCloning of chitinase gene from Bacillus thuringiensis
In the present investigation, 34 Bacillus thuringiensis (Bt) isolates of different agroclimatic condition were studied for fungitoxic characters and the principle involved for fungitoxicity was identified in most of the cases as exochitinases. The different Bt strains were screened for fungitoxicity and chitin degrading activity employing 4 fungal pathogens. Biochemical assay of the chitinase u...
متن کاملScChi, Encoding an Acidic Class III Chitinase of Sugarcane, Confers Positive Responses to Biotic and Abiotic Stresses in Sugarcane
Chitinases (EC 3.2.2.14), expressed during the plant-pathogen interaction, are associated with plant defense against pathogens. In the present study, a positive correlation between chitinase activity and sugarcane smut resistance was found. ScChi (GenBank accession no. KF664180), a Class III chitinase gene, encoded a 31.37 kDa polypeptide, was cloned and identified. Subcellular localization rev...
