Elicitor Signal Transduction That Leads to Hypersensitive Reaction in Cultured Tobacco Cells
نویسنده
چکیده
Plants have an excellent mechanism for responding to pathogen invasion by specific and inducible defense reactions, which is often apparent as the so-called hypersensitive reaction (HR). The molecular dissection of the mechanism of HR is difficult since the biological system involves intricate interactions between plant and pathogen. A simplified system, in which suspension cultured plant cells are synchronously challenged with a single molecular inducer of HR, elicitor, would greatly facilitate studies of the molecular mechanism of HR. Several components involved in elicitor signaling have recently been identified and characterized using the experimental system.

Slow and prolonged activation of the p47 protein kinase during hypersensitive cell death in a culture of tobacco cells
To investigate the involvement of protein kinases in the signaling cascade that leads to hypersensitive cell death, we used a previously established system in which a fungal elicitor, xylanase from Trichoderma viride (TvX), induces a hypersensitive reaction in tobacco (Nicotiana tabacum) cells in culture (line XD6S). The elicitor induced the slow and prolonged activation of a p47 protein kinase...
متن کاملThe receptor for the fungal elicitor ethylene-inducing xylanase is a member of a resistance-like gene family in tomato.
An ethylene-inducing xylanase (EIX) is a potent elicitor of plant defense responses in specific cultivars of tobacco (Nicotiana tabacum) and tomato (Lycopersicon esculentum). The LeEix locus in tomatoes was characterized by map-based cloning, which led to the identification of a novel gene cluster from which two members (LeEix1 and LeEix2) were isolated. Similar to the tomato Ve resistance gene...
متن کاملAn S-Type Anion Channel SLAC1 Is Involved in Cryptogein-Induced Ion Fluxes and Modulates Hypersensitive Responses in Tobacco BY-2 Cells
Pharmacological evidence suggests that anion channel-mediated plasma membrane anion effluxes are crucial in early defense signaling to induce immune responses and hypersensitive cell death in plants. However, their molecular bases and regulation remain largely unknown. We overexpressed Arabidopsis SLAC1, an S-type anion channel involved in stomatal closure, in cultured tobacco BY-2 cells and an...
متن کاملCell cycle dependence of elicitor-induced signal transduction in tobacco BY-2 cells.
The molecular links between the cell cycle and defense responses in plants are largely unknown. Using synchronized tobacco BY-2 cells, we analyzed the cell cycle dependence of elicitor-induced defense responses. In synchronized cultured apoaequorin-expressing cells, the increase in cytosolic free Ca2+ induced by a proteinaceous elicitor, cryptogein, was greatly suppressed during the G2 and M ph...

Signal regulatory proteins (SIRP) belong to immunoglobulin super family (IgSF) and relate to integrin signaling cascades. It has been shown that SIRPa is expressed in a variety of cells including myeloid cells and neurons. In the present study the expression of this IgSF member in articular chondrocytes was investigated. Methods: Using a panel of anti-SIRPalpha antibodies, immunohistochemistry...
