Polyamines are common players in different facets of plant programmed cell death

Abstract: Programmed cell death (PCD) is a process that occurs throughout the life span of every plant life, from initial germination of the seed to the senescence of the plant. It is a normal physiological milestone during the plant's developmental process, but it can also be induced by external factors, including a variety of environmental stresses and as a response to pathogen infections. Changes in the morphology of the nucleus is one of the most noticeable during PCD but all the components of the plant cell (cytopl… Show more

“…As is well known, PAs are directly associated with the proteins of PSII by electrostatic interaction due to PAs' polycationic properties, or by covalent binding through transglutaminases (SobieszczukNowicka and Legocka, 2014, Cai et al, 2015, Sobieszczuk-Nowicka et al, 2015. Moreover, Put and Spm are bound to the photosynthetic complexes, mainly to the LHCII monomeric and oligomeric forms (Kotzabasis et al, 1993), and this could provide some stability to the conformation of thylakoid proteins and consequently help to maintain the photosynthetic activity.…”

“…If a cross linkage is formed by bis-PA, proteins remain bound to each other forming a strong net that is no more degraded by proteases; if only mono-PA are formed, the net cannot be built or it is less strong, thus allowing swelling [3,6,48].…”

“…PAs are also conjugated to proteins by transglutaminase (TGase), which catalyzes their covalent binding to the -carboxamide groups of protein endoglutamine residues (Folk, 1980;Del Duca et al, 2014;Cai et al, 2015). The two terminal amino groups of PAs are conjugated to one or two glutamine residues, thereby giving rise to either mono-( -glutamyl)-PAs (mono-PAs) or bis-( -glutamyl)-PAs (bis-PAs).…”
