Solution structure of AT1g01470 from Arabidopsis Thaliana
OverviewOverview
We report the three-dimensional structure of a late embryogenesis abundant, (LEA) protein from Arabidopsis thaliana gene At1g01470.1. This protein is, a member of Pfam cluster PF03168, and has been classified as a LEA14, protein. LEA proteins are expressed under conditions of cellular stress, such as desiccation, cold, osmotic stress, and heat. The structure, which, was determined by NMR spectroscopy, revealed that the At1g01470.1 protein, has an alphabeta-fold consisting of one alpha-helix and seven beta-strands, that form two antiparallel beta-sheets. The closest structural homologs, were discovered to be fibronectin Type III domains, which have <7%, sequence identity. Because fibronectins from animal cells have been shown, to be involved in cell adhesion, cell motility, wound healing, and, maintenance of cell shape, it is interesting to note that in plants, wounding or stress results in the overexpression of a protein with, fibronectin Type III structural features.
