Interaction between a coating-borne peptide of the Brassica pollen grain and stigmatic S (self-incompatibility)-locus-specific glycoproteins.

Abstract: Methods are described for the removal of the sporophytic pollen grain coating of Brassica olracea and for the isolation of coat polypeptides. The coat contains a small number of proteins ranging from 6 to 45 kDa. Many of the larger proteins are glycosylated, while all carry hig positive charges resulting in pI values from 8.5 to 11. Polypeptides with pI values of 9.5, 9.0, and 8.5 possess strong esterase activity. No major differences could be detected in either pI values or molecular masses of pollen-coating … Show more

“…Rapid washes of mature Brassica pollen grains have previously been shown to result in the complete removal of the tryphine with no apparent damage to either the extracted polypeptides or the remaining coatless pollen (Doughty et al, 1993). This was confirmed in the present study where cyclohexane washes of mature B. napus cv.…”

“…These cells secrete oil droplets and proteins and subsequently degenerate, filling the cavities of the exine with their cytoplasmic contents. Compared with sporopollenin-rich exines, pollen coats are better characterized; they can be extracted and their contents can be purified in sufficient quantity for identification (Doughty et al, 1993;Ross and Murphy, 1996;Ruiter et al, 1997;Murphy and Ross, 1998;Mayfield et al, 2001). The first biochemical isolations were in Liliacea, in which pollen coats were found to be largely lipidic, with carotenoids as major pigments (Heslop-Harrison, 1968).…”

“…In Arabidopsis, the pollen coat contains longand short-chain lipids along with a small set of proteins, including six lipases and eight Gly-rich oleosin proteins that contain a lipid binding domain (Mayfield et al, 2001;Fiebig et al, 2004). The pollen coating of Brassica is structured similarly and also has been shown to contain peptides involved in self-incompatibility (Doughty et al, 1993). Disrupting pollen coat lipids or pollen coat proteins in Brassicaceae species can delay or block pollen hydration.…”

“…Safe carriage of this information from the anther to a receptive stigma Is ascertained by a thick wall around the pollen grain. In many species, the outermost layer of this wall is a lipidic coating, containing proteins and carbohydrates, that is well suited to protect the poilen pro toplast and to mediate pollen transport, but it is also equipped to play a role in pollen-stigma interactions (HesiopHarrison, 1979;Knox, 1984;Elleman and Dickinson, 1990;Elleman et a!., 1992;Dickinson, 1993;Doughty etal., 1993).…”
