“…The CC-NB-LRR protein Rx of potato is found to interact with the Potato virus X (PVX) coat protein conferring resistance to PVX [13] and the Arabidopsis RPS4 gene is involved in resistance to Avr Rps4 of bacterial pathogens [14]. Based on the conserved domains of known R-genes across plant species, novel resistance gene analogues (RGAs) have been isolated from diverse plants by degenerate oligonucleotide primer based PCR approach [15]. This also serves as a tool for rapid isolation of full-length resistance genes.…”

“…The Nickel-CL agarose column (2.5 x 10.0 cm) was equilibrated with the equilibration buffer. The clarified lysate was loaded onto the column and the bound (His) 6 -tagged fusion protein was eluted. The eluted fractions were further analyzed for the recombinant protein by polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis.…”

“…The recombinant RGA RGPM 301 was expressed with (His) 6 -tag derived from the pRSET A expression system. The fusion protein was mainly obtained in the soluble fraction of E. coli cell lysate with a molecular mass of approximately 120 kDa resolved on a SDS-PAGE (Fig 4).…”

“…The non-specifically bound proteins of recombinant RGA RGPM 301 were washed with wash buffer and removed. The (His) 6 tagged fusion protein bound to the agarose column was eluted and the fraction was analysed on SDS-PAGE for confirmation of the 120 kDa recombinant protein to near homogeneity (Fig 5A). The molecular mass of the purified protein corresponded with the .…”

“…Plant R-genes with such domains have been isolated by following methods such as positional cloning, transposon tagging and homologous cloning [5]. Since specific domains in R-genes are conserved across plant species, novel resistance gene analogues (RGAs) have been isolated from various plants using degenerate oligonucleotide primer based polymerase chain reaction (PCR) approach [6]. These, RGAs are useful tools for the isolation of full-length Rgenes which provides vital information about the organization of these genes, their expression, roles in resistance mechanism and evolution [7].…”
Plants combat their pathogens with an array of defense responses. One of the key mechanisms involves products of resistance (R) genes which are responsible for recognition of effector molecules from pathogens and subsequent triggering of defense responses. Resistance gene analogues (RGAs) containing the specific conserved domains of R-genes are isolated from various plants using degenerate oligonucleotide primer based PCR approach. In an earlier study, RGPM 301 an RGA from pearl millet shown to be involved in resistance mechanism against downy mildew disease was isolated and characterized. In the present study, RGPM 301 containing an open reading frame (ORF) of 992 amino acids was cloned into pRSET A expression vector and expressed in Escherichia coli as a Hig-tag fusion protein. The recombinant RGA RGPM 301 was purified to near homogeneity using the Nickel-CL agarose column. Its molecular mass was found to be 120 kDa when separated on the SDS-PAGE which was confirmed by western blotting analysis using the anti-His antibody. The purified protein was subjected to in-gel trypsin digestion followed by mass spectrometric analysis for the confirmation of its identity. These findings facilitate further studies on the exact role of this RGA in the pearl millet downy mildew host pathogen system.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
