Structural and Functional Similarities between Osmotin from Nicotiana Tabacum Seeds and Human Adiponectin
Osmotin, a plant protein, specifically binds a seven transmembrane domain receptor-like protein to exert its biological activity via a RAS2/cAMP signaling pathway. The receptor protein is encoded in the gene ORE20/PHO36 and the mammalian homolog of PHO36 is a receptor for the human hormone adiponectin (ADIPOR1). Moreover it is known that the osmotin domain I can be overlapped to the β-barrel do...
متن کاملOsmotin attenuates amyloid beta-induced memory impairment, tau phosphorylation and neurodegeneration in the mouse hippocampus
The pathological hallmarks of Alzheimer's disease (AD) include amyloid beta (Aβ) accumulation, neurofibrillary tangle formation, synaptic dysfunction and neuronal loss. In this study, we investigated the neuroprotection of novel osmotin, a plant protein extracted from Nicotiana tabacum that has been considered to be a homolog of mammalian adiponectin. Here, we observed that treatment with osmot...
متن کاملOsmotin gene expression is posttranscriptionally regulated.
Accumulation of both osmotin mRNA and osmotin protein in tissues of tobacco (Nicotiana tabacum L. var Wisconsin 38) is subject to complex developmental control. Osmotin was found to be most abundant in tobacco roots and in tissues of the outer stem comprised primarily of epidermis, and it was less abundant in the corolla. It was a minor protein in other tissues and was undetectable in some tiss...
متن کاملAnalysis of osmotin, a PR protein as metabolic modulator in plants
Osmotin is an abundant cationic multifunctional protein discovered in cells of tobacco (Nicotiana tabacum L. var Wisconsin 38) adapted to an environment of low osmotic potential. Beside its role as osmoregulator, it provides plants protection from pathogens, hence also placed in the PRP family of proteins. The osmotin induced proline accumulation has been reported to confer tolerance against bo...
متن کاملStable NaCl Tolerance of Tobacco Cells Is Associated with Enhanced Accumulation of Osmotin.
Osmotin is a major protein which accumulates in tobacco cells (Nicotiana tabacum L. var Wisconsin 38) adapted to low water potentials. Quantitation of osmotin levels by immunoblots indicated that cells adapted to 428 millimolar NaCl contained 4 to 30 times the level of osmotin found in unadapted cells, depending on the stage of growth. Unadapted cells accumulated low levels of osmotin with appa...
