Disease relevance of ELI3-2

  • We expressed a cDNA encoding the Arabidopsis thaliana defense-related protein ELI3-2 in Escherichia coli to determine its biochemical function [1].
  • ELI3 mRNA accumulates in A. thaliana leaves in response to challenge with phytopathogenic Pseudomonas syringae strains [2].
 

High impact information on ELI3-2

  • During incompatible interactions, where resistance in the plant genotype Col-0 is dictated by the dominant RPM1 locus, ELI3 mRNA accumulates to high levels 5-10 h post-inoculation [2].
  • Thus, the induction kinetics of ELI3 mRNA accumulation are consistent with a functional role for the ELI3 gene product in establishing the resistant phenotype [2].
  • Studies on the substrate specificity now revealed that ELI3-2 is an aromatic alcohol: NADP(+) oxidoreductase (benzyl alcohol dehydrogenase) [1].
  • Sequence analysis of a mannitol dehydrogenase cDNA from plants reveals a function for the pathogenesis-related protein ELI3 [3].
