“…Two-dimensional gel electrophoresis revealed upregulation of germin-like proteins along with some other proteins after exposure to ozone stress (Sarkar et al 2010). Another study on woody azalea (R. mucronatum) documented that two GLP-encoding genes (RmGLP1 and RmGLP2) were induced after exposure of azalea to nitrogen dioxide (Kondo et al 2008). GLP was also included into the analysis of the nitrous oxide-mediated signaling in M. truncatula (Ferrarini et al 2008), and NO 2 -responsive GLPs have been analyzed for understanding the emission and plant uptake of atmospheric nitrogen oxides (NO and NO 2 ) which significantly influences regional climate change (Hu and Sun 2010).…”

“…Additionally, expression of HvGER1 in yeast (Saccharomyces cerevisiae) revealed OxO activity but no SOD activity (Whittaker and Whittaker 2002). Among various GLPs from land plants, PsGER1 from pea (Gucciardo et al 2007), nectarin I from tobacco (Carter and Thornburg 2000), HvGLP4 from barley (Christensen et al 2004), HvGER4d and HvGER5a from barley (Zimmermann et al 2006), and another GLP (RmGLP2) from R. mucronatum, a woody azalea (Kondo et al 2008), possesses SOD activity. Among the lower plant (moss) GLPs, a GLP (BuGLP) from B. unguiculata (Yamahara et al 1999) and another GLP (PpGLP6) from P. patens (Nakata et al 2004) have manganese containing SOD activity in their extracellular space.…”

Germin-like proteins (GLPs) are evolutionary conserved ubiquitous plant glycoproteins belonging to the cupin superfamily. A large number of GLP family members have been identified from different higher and lower plant species, and those have been classified into different subfamilies. Although three histidine residues (H) and one glutamate residue (E) in germin box B and C were conserved among all the GLP subfamily members, how the sequences of one subfamily member differ from the other is unclear. Progress in the field of genomics, transcriptomics, and proteomics has made it possible to understand the variation at gene level among different GLP members from diverse genera and also their biological significances. GLPs from different plant species were found to have various enzymatic properties including oxalate oxidase (OxO), superoxide dismutase (SOD), ADP glucose pyrophosphatase/phosphodiesterase (AGPPase), and polyphenol oxidase (PPO) activities. 'Omics' study demonstrated the expression as well as involvement of GLP family members in almost every part of higher plants as well as in lower plants. Additionally, GLPs from different species were reported to be involved in biotic as well as abiotic stresses and also in the growth and development. This review describes the present research status of GLPs from different plant species, their expressions, and functional significances. Sequence variation was detected among GLP subfamily members at the amino acid level, and based on the sequence variation and phylogenetic analyses, two new GLP subfamilies have been proposed in this review.

A germin-like protein gene of rice increased superoxide dismutase activity in transformed tobacco

Germin and germin-like proteins (GLPs) are a broad and diverse family of developmentally regulated proteins widely distributed in plants. Oryza sativa L. harbours a large family of GLPs and serves as a good model for their study. In the present study, a germin-like protein gene (OsRGLP1) of rice origin was characterized by its heterologous expression in tobacco. The real-time PCR established almost a uniform expression of OsRGLP1 in leaves, stem, and roots of T 1 Nicotiana tabacum cv. Samsun. Although no morphological difference was apparent between T 0 transgenic and wildtype plants, leaves of mature transgenic plants showed necrotic lesions associated with an elevated content of H 2 O 2 , which was evidenced by in situ 3,3'-diaminobenzidine staining. A significantly higher activity of heat resistant superoxide dismutase (SOD) was observed in the transgenic plants as compared to the wild-type. The SOD activity in the transgenic plants was insensitive to potassium cyanide and sensitive to H 2 O 2 .

“…Multiple studies have examined the role of germins and GLPs in a wide variety of plant systems such as Arabidopsis (Membré et al 1997;Carter et al 1998), woody azalea (Rhododendron mucronatum; Kondo et al 2008), conifers (Mathieu et al 2006), soybean (Klink et al 2007), grapevine (Ficke et al 2002;Cramer et al 2007;Godfrey et al 2007) and Medicago (Doll et al 2003;Soares et al 2009). The majority of germin and GLP research has centred on cereal plants, especially rice, barley, maize and wheat, where the protein was first discovered.…”

The recent release of the genome sequences of a number of crop and model plant species has made it possible to define the genome organisation and functional characteristics of specific genes and gene families of agronomic importance. For instance, Sorghum bicolor, maize (Zea mays) and Brachypodium distachyon genome sequences along with the model grass species rice (Oryza sativa) enable the comparative analysis of genes involved in plant defence. Germin-like proteins (GLPs) are a small, functionally and taxonomically diverse class of cupin-domain containing proteins that have recently been shown to cluster in an area of rice chromosome 8. The genomic location of this gene cluster overlaps with a disease resistance QTL that provides defence against two rice fungal pathogens (Magnaporthe oryzae and Rhizoctonia solani). Studies showing the involvement of GLPs in basal host resistance against powdery mildew (Blumeria graminis ssp.) have also been reported in barley and wheat. In this mini-review, we compare the close proximity of GLPs in publicly available cereal crop genomes and discuss the contribution that these proteins, and their genome sequence organisation, play in plant defence.
