PLANT-PIs: a database for plant protease inhibitors and their genes
نویسندگان
چکیده
PLANT-PIs is a database developed to facilitate retrieval of information on plant protease inhibitors (PIs) and related genes. For each PI, links to sequence databases are reported together with a summary of the functional properties of the molecule (and its mutants) as deduced from literature. PLANT-PIs contains information for 351 plant PIs, plus several isoinhibitors. The database is accessible at http://bighost.area.ba.cnr.it/PLANT-PIs.

Plant protease inhibitors in control of phytophagous insects
Plant proteinase inhibitors (PIs) have been well established to play a potent defensive role against predators and pathogens. Although diverse endogenous functions for these proteins has been proposed, ranging from regulators of endogenous proteinases to act as storage proteins, evidence for many of these roles is partial, or confined to isolated examples. On the other hand, many PIs have been ...
متن کاملThe battle in the apoplast: further insights into the roles of proteases and their inhibitors in plant–pathogen interactions
Upon host penetration, fungal pathogens secrete a plethora of effectors to promote disease, including proteases that degrade plant antimicrobial proteins, and protease inhibitors (PIs) that inhibit plant proteases with antimicrobial activity. Conversely, plants secrete proteases and PIs to protect themselves against pathogens or to mediate recognition of pathogen proteases and PIs, which leads ...
متن کاملProtease Inhibitors: Emphasizing Functional Aspects of Aspartic Protease Inhibitors
Aspartic proteases are relatively a small group of proteolytic enzymes. Over the last decade, they have received tremendous research interest as potential targets for pharmaceutical intervention as many have been shown to play significant roles in physiological and pathological processes. Despite numerous efforts, however, the only inhibitors for aspartic proteases currently in the market are d...
متن کاملکلون سازی cDNA سیستاتین ذرت (CCs)، و ارزیابی اثر بازدارندگی پروتئین آن در شرایط آزمایشگاهی
Isolating and cloning of plant protease inhibitor (PIs) genes and transforming them to the genome of other plants have paved the way for producing resistant transgenic plants against pests. Knowing that cystatins act as inhibitor factor against cysteine protease, short and long cystatin genes were isolated from maize mRNA. By using specific primers, cDNA of these genes were constructed and clon...
