Monoclonal antibody TeM 106 reacts with a tonoplast intrinsic protein of 106 kDa from Brassica oleracea L
1995
A monoclonal antibody, designated TeM 106, that recognizes an intrinsic protein from the vacuole membrane (tonoplast) of cauliflower (Brassica oleracea L. var. botrytis) is described. Mice were immunized with a tonoplast fraction that had been purified from differentiating meristematic cells from the cauliflower head. Hybridomas were generated and screened by means of Enzyme Linked Immuno Sorbent Assays for differential reactivity to tonoplast over non-related proteins (bovine serum albumin). One out of 14 reactive murine clones was selected on the basis of its stability, secretory efficiency, and high affinity of the secreted antibodies. TeM 106 is an IgM which was shown by indirect immuno…

Reticulon-like proteins in Arabidopsis thaliana: structural organization and ER localization
2007
International audience; Reticulons are proteins that have been found predominantly associated with the endoplasmic reticulum in yeast and mammalian cells. While their functions are still poorly understood, recent findings suggest that they participate in the shaping of the tubular endoplamic reticulum (ER). Although reticulon-like proteins have been identified in plants, very little is known about their cellular localization and functions. Here, we characterized the reticulon-like protein family of Arabidopsis thaliana. Three subfamilies can be distinguished on the basis of structural organization and sequence homology. We investigated the subcellular localization of two members of the larg…

The yeast osmosensitive mutant fps1Δ transformed by the cauliflower BobTIP1;1 aquaporin withstand a hypo-osmotic shock
2005
AbstractOsmoregulation plays an important role in cellular responses to osmotic stress in plants and in yeast. Aquaporins contribute to osmotic adjustment by facilitating transport of water or solutes across membranes. The tonoplastic water channel BobTIP1;1 (original name BobTIP26-1) genes are upregulated during dessication stress in cauliflower meristematic tissue. To investigate the physiological importance of BobTIP1;1, we expressed it in a Saccharomyces cerevisiae osmosensitive mutant fps1Δ. We showed that the defect in the yeast glycerol plasma membrane transporter is complemented by a plant cDNA encoding the aquaporin BobTIP1;1 which is localized in the vacuolar membrane of the compl…

Immunological detection of tonoplast polypeptides in the plasma membrane of pea cotyledons
1996
The tonoplast is usually characterized by the presence of two electrogenic proton pumps: a vacuolartype H+-ATPase and a pyrophosphatase, as well as a putative water-channel-forming protein (γ-TIP). Using a post-embedding immunogold labelling technique, we have detected the presence of these transport-protein complexes not only in the tonoplast, but also in the plasma membrane and trans Golgi elements of maturing pea (Pisum sativum L.) cotyledons. These ultrastructural observations are supported by Western blotting with highly purified plasma-membrane fractions. In contrast to the vacuolar-type H+-ATPase, whose activity was not measurable, considerable pyrophosphatase activity was detected i…

Desiccation and osmotic stress increase the abundance of mRNA of the tonoplast aquaporin BobTIP26-1 in cauliflower cells.
1999
Changes in vacuolar structure and the expression at the RNA level of a tonoplast aquaporin (BobTIP26-1) were examined in cauliflower (Brassicaoleracea L. var. botrytis) under water-stress conditions. Gradual drying out of slices of cauliflower floret tissue caused its collapse, with a shrinkage in tissue and cell volumes and an apparent vesiculation of the central vacuole, whereas osmotic stress resulted in plasmolysis with a collapse of the cytoplasm and the central vacuole within. Osmotic stress caused a rapid and substantial increase in BobTIP26 mRNA in slices of floret tissue. Exposure of tissue slices to a regime of desiccation showed a slower but equally large rise in BobTIP26 mRNA fo…
Autophagy in development and stress responses of plants.
2006
The uptake and degradation of cytoplasmic material by vacuolar autophagy in plants has been studied extensively by electron microscopy and shown to be involved in developmental processes such as vacuole formation, deposition of seed storage proteins and senescence, and in the response of plants to nutrient starvation and to pathogens. The isolation of genes required for autophagy in yeast has allowed the identification of many of the corresponding Arabidopsis genes based on sequence similarity. Knockout mutations in some of these Arabidopsis genes have revealed physiological roles for autophagy in nutrient recycling during nitrogen deficiency and in senescence. Recently, markers for monitor…

The Formation of The Plant Vacuolar System
1999
The plant vacuole is a multifunctional subcellular compartment. In general, the vacuolar system is constituted of a single or few vacuoles. About 80% of the volume of mature plant cells is occupied by vacuoles. These organelles are limited by a single membrane, the tonoplast. According to the cell type and to particular functions, the vacuolar content can vary from a homogeneous consistency to a heterogeneous matrix containing crystalloid structures (Boiler, Wiemken, 1986; Marty et al., 1980). From the biotechnological point of view, the endomembrane system of plants, particularly the ER and vacuoles, can be envisioned as the ultimate environment for stable protein accumulation. Several rep…

Tonoplast subcellular localization of maize cytochrome b5 reductases
2000
Plant cytochrome b 5 reductases (b 5 R) are assumed to be part of an ER-associated redox chain that oxidizes NADH to provide electrons via cytochrome b5 (cyt b 5 ) to ER-associated fatty acyl desaturase and related hydroxylases, as in mammalian cells. Here we report on cDNA cloning of a novel maize b 5 R, NFR II, strongly related to a previously cloned cDNA, NFR I (Bagnaresi et al., 1999, Biochem, J. 338, 499-5051. Maize b 5 R isoforms are produced by a small multi-gene family. The NFR cDNAs were shown to encode active b 5 Rs by heterologous expression in yeast. Both reductases, in addition to Fe 3+ -chelates, efficiently reduced Cu 2+ -chelates. Using a polyclonal antibody able to recogniz…
Starvation-induced expression of autophagy-related genes in Arabidopsis
2005
Background information. Autophagy is a catabolic process for degradation of cytoplasmic components in the vacuolar apparatus. A genome-wide survey recently showed evolutionary conservation among autophagy genes in yeast, mammals and plants. To elucidate the molecular and subcellular machinery responsible for the sequestration and subsequent digestion of intracellular material in plants, we utilized a combination of morphological and molecular methods (confocal laser-scanning microscopy, transmission electron microscopy and real-time PCR respectively). Results. Autophagy in Arabidopsis thaliana suspension-cultured cells was induced by carbon starvation, which triggered an immediate arrest of…
Tonoplast intrinsic proteins from cauliflower (Brassica oleracea L. var. botrytis): immunological analysis, cDNA cloning and evidence for expression …
1998
The vacuolar membrane (tonoplast) of plant cells contains aquaporins, protein channels that facilitate the selective transport of water. These tonoplast intrinsic proteins (TIPs) of 23-29 kDa belong to the ancient major intrinsic protein (MIP) family. A monospecific polyclonal antiserum directed against a 26 kDa intrinsic protein from the tonoplast of meristematic cells from cauliflower (Brassica oleracea L. var. botrytis) was used to screen a cDNA library. Two distinct cDNAs have been isolated. Both clones, c26-1 and c26-2, encode closely related TIPs. The c26-1 insert, consisting of 933 bp upstream of the poly(A) tail, is a full-length cDNA with an open reading frame encoding a protein of…
