The plant pathogenesis-related PR-10 proteins

[en] The PR-10 protein family contains proteins related to pathogenesis and allergenic proteins. They are acidic proteins, with an intracellular localization, usually members of a multigene family and ubiquitous among plant kingdom. They contain a highly conserved motif, identified as a phosphate binding site. Even if the biological function of these proteins is still unknown, many indicators seem to favour the hypothesis of an RNAse activity. Moreover, one of them seems to be a cytokinin specific binding protein. Besides, PR-10 protein expression induction under cytokinin treatment was observed with the Catharanthus roseus CrPR-10a protein. Here, we present the evidence of a significative increase of endogenous cytokinin contents in leaves of transgenic Tobacco plants over-expressing the CrPR-10a protein.
[fr] Les protéines PR-10 regroupent à la fois des protéines de pathogenèse et des protéines allergènes. Ce sont des protéines acides, à localisation intracellulaire, généralement membres d’une famille multigénique et ubiquitaires à travers le règne végétal. Elles contiennent un motif hautement conservé, identifié comme un site de fixation de groupements phosphates. Même si la fonction biologique de ces protéines est encore mal définie, plusieurs indications semblent être favorables à l’hypothèse d’une activité RNAse. De plus, l’une d’entre elles serait dotée de la faculté de former des complexes spécifiques avec des cytokinines. En outre, une induction de l’expression des protéines PR-10 sous l’action de traitement par des cytokinines a été observée dans le cas de la protéine CrPR-10a chez Catharanthus roseus. La sur-expression de cette protéine PR-10 chez le Tabac, nous a permis de mettre en évidence une augmentation statistiquement significative des teneurs endogènes de certaines cytokinines.
