“…These authors had identified potential protein kinase C and casein kinase II phosphorylation sites in the amino acid sequence. Lopez and Franco (2006) had isolated the TCTP gene from strawberry; the gene contained the phosphorylation signature sequences and could be increased during strawberry fruit ripening. Sánchez et al (1997) had been shown that TCTP was capable of binding Ca 2?…”

The translationally controlled tumor protein (TCTP) is an important component of the target of rapamycin (TOR) signaling pathway, the major regulator of cell growth in animals and fungi. Despite its relevance, knowledge on plant TCTP homologs is still limited. In the present study, the full-length BoTCTP cDNA was isolated from a cabbage (Brassica oleracea L.) cDNA library. The BoTCTP cDNA encodes a polypeptide of 168 amino acids and shared the highly conserved GTPase binding surface in all of the species analyzed. Northern blotting analysis showed that BoTCTP was specifically expressed in the root and stem. Furthermore, the expression of BoTCTP could be obviously enhanced by stress stimuli, including high temperature and salt stresses, while no significant changes in the BoTCTP expression were observed under ABA stress. Functional analysis of BoTCTP was performed by the silencing of BoTCTP using RNA interference (RNAi) and the BoTCTP RNAi plants exhibited reduced vegetative growth rate and decreased tolerance of the cold, high temperature, and salt stresses. The reported results clearly suggest that the BoTCTP gene is involved in the regulation of both growth and stress response in cabbage.

“…In fact, these functions seem to be highly conserved across kingdoms given that Arabidopsis TCTP (AtTCTP1; At3g16640) is capable of complementing a Drosophila TCTP mutant and vice versa (Brioudes et al, 2010 ). However, plant TCTPs have been also associated to several other functions such as response to water deficit (Kim et al, 2012 ), male gametophyte maturation (Berkowitz et al, 2008 ), defense response (Jones et al, 2006 ; Yan et al, 2009 ; Cao et al, 2010 ), endosperm development (Qin et al, 2011 ), storage root formation (de Souza et al, 2004 ), fruit ripening (Lopez and Franco, 2006 ), and photoperiodism and flowering (Sage-Ono et al, 1998 ), given that the corresponding genes are induced during the aforementioned conditions.…”

Translationally Controlled Tumor Protein (TCTP) is an almost ubiquitous protein found in eukaryotes, fundamental for the regulation of development and general growth. The multiple functions of TCTP have been inferred from its involvement in several cell pathways, but the specific function of TCTP is still not known in detail. On the other hand, TCTP seems to respond to a plethora of external signals, and appears to be regulated at the transcriptional and/or translational levels by mechanisms yet to be determined. In the present work, we analyzed the capacity of AtTCTP2 gene products (mRNA and protein) to translocate long distance through tobacco heterografts (transgenic/WT and WT/transgenic). The results indicate that both AtTCTP2 mRNA and protein are capable of moving long distance in both directions (stock-scion and scion-stock) with a tendency for movement from source to sink tissue (stock to scion). Interestingly, aerial roots emerged only in heterografts where the protein was detected in both stock and scion, suggesting a correlation between the presence of AtTCTP2 and aerial root appearance. More detailed analysis showed that these aerial roots harbored the transgene and expressed both transcript and protein. In addition, the protein localization pattern in transgenic aerial and primary roots was basically the same, indicating specific nuclear destination in roots, but also in leaves. These findings provide an approach to understand the role of long-distance movement in the function of plant TCTPs, supporting the notion that some of these act in a non-cell autonomous manner, as the human counterpart, the Histamine Releasing Factor (HRF).

“…The process generally is such that the sulfur-oxidizing bacteria, immobilized on the already packed media, develop a biofilm which is covered by a water layer formed by trickling solution. The H 2 S laden airstream flows through the filter allowing the acid gas to transfer from the gas phase to the water layer and then into the biofilm where it is biodegraded into simple, odorless and harmless compounds [56]. Biogasclean QSR, SulfurexBF, and Biosulfex are a few examples of commercial BTF technologies.…”
