Phytochemistry, 2015 Plants have evolved to synthesize a variety of noxious compounds to cope with unfavorable circumstances, among which a large group of toxic proteins that play a critical role in plant defense against predators and microbes. Up to now, a wide range of harmful proteins have been discovered in different plants, including lectins, ribosome-inactivating ...

Biochemical Society Transactions, 2021 RNA binding proteins, through control of mRNA fate and expression, are key players of organism development. The LARP family of RBPs sharing the La motif, are largely present in eukaryotes. They classify into five subfamilies which members acquired specific additional domains, including the RRM1 moiety which teams up with the La motif to form a ...

Recombinant proteins in plants [PDF]
BMC Proceedings, 2014 Background Over the last few decades, several studies have shown that plants can be a viable option for producing functional recombinant proteins with a wide range of structural characteristics [1]. In addition, the potential benefit for developing countries is a prominent feature that we have recently addressed [2]. Plant-produced recombinant proteins

Evolution of plant ribosome-inactivating proteins [PDF]
, 2010 This contribution presents an updated analysis of the evolution of ribosome-inactivating proteins (RIPs) in plants. All evidence suggests that an ancestor of modern seed plants developed the RIP domain at least 300 million years ago.

Plant protein glycosylation [PDF]
Glycobiology, 2016 Protein glycosylation is an essential co- and post-translational modification of secretory and membrane proteins in all eukaryotes. The initial steps of N-glycosylation and N-glycan processing are highly conserved between plants, mammals and yeast. In contrast, late N-glycan maturation steps in the Golgi differ significantly in plants giving rise to ...

Structures of Phytophthora RXLR Effector Proteins: a conserved but adaptable fold underpins functional diversity [PDF]
, 2011 Phytopathogens deliver effector proteins inside host plant cells to promote infection. These proteins can also be sensed by the plant immune system, leading to restriction of pathogen growth.

Protein intrinsic disorder in plants [PDF]
Frontiers in Plant Science, 2013 To some extent contradicting the classical paradigm of the relationship between protein 3D structure and function, now it is clear that large portions of the proteomes, especially in higher organisms, lack a fixed structure and still perform very important functions.
