Western blot analysis revealed the presence of beetin forms in adult plants but not in germ or young plants, indicating that the expression of these proteins is developmentally regulated. While beetins are expressed only in adult plants, their transcripts are present through all stages of development. In addition, the treatment of B. vulgaris leaves with mediators of plant-acquired resistance such as salicylic acid and hydrogen peroxide promoted the expression of beetin by induction of its transcript, but only in adult plants. The plant expresses three mRNAs which differ only in their 3′ untranslated region. All these observations suggest a dual regulation of beetin expression, i.e. at the post-transcriptional and transcriptional levels. Additionally, total RNA isolated from leaves treated with hydrogen peroxide, which express high levels of active beetin, is not de-adenylated by endogenous beetin, nor in vitro by the addition of BE27, thus suggesting that sugar beet ribosomes are resistant to beetin. eng Attribution-NonCommercial-NoDerivs 3.0 Unported Elicitor-dependent expression of the ribosome-inactivating protein beetin is developmentally regulated info:eu-repo/semantics/article URL https://uvadoc.uva.es/bitstream/10324/40997/1/Elicitor-dependent-expression-of-beetin.pdf File MD5 5c0cbb8f9f1575c80444e4125bb631f9 414370 application/pdf Elicitor-dependent-expression-of-beetin.pdf
