Isolation and characterization of a 29-kDa glycoprotein with antifungal activity from bulbs of Urginea indica

Abstract: In this study an antifungal protein from Urginea indica bulbs was purified to homogeneity by acid precipitation, Diol 300 Gelfiltration, and C 18 reverse phase HPLC. Its molecular mass was estimated to be 29 kDa and periodic acid-Schiff (PAS) staining showed that identified antifungal molecule is a glycoprotein. The neutralization of antifungal activity after periodate oxidation of 29 kDa glycoprotein suggests that the glycan part of the molecule appears to be involved in antifungal activity. N-terminal amino … Show more

“…La présence des polyphénols dans les différents extraits des plantes étudiées est également rapportée par plusieurs auteurs Les effets antifongiques d'extrait aqueux d'Urginea maritima (L.) peuvent être attribués aux polyphénols de cette plante, mais certaines études ont démontré que l'activité antifongique d'Urginea maritima (L.) est liée à une glycoprotéine localisée dans la paroi cellulaire de l'ampoule, qui inhibe complètement la germination des spores et la croissance des hyphes de Fusarium oxysporum (Deepak et al, 2003 …”

“…The results of the SDS−PAGE analysis of the two ‘peaks’ are shown in Figure 3A. A single major protein band was detected in ‘peak’ 1 with an apparent molecular mass of M r 29 kDa (23) (Figure 3A, lane P1). ‘Peak’ 2 also had the same M r 29 kDa band, which is expected since ‘peak’ 1 and ‘peak’ 2 were not completely separated.…”

“…The experiments described above showed that the M r 29 kDa U. indica protein exerts a potent antifungal action on the growth of fungi such as F. oxysporum and R. solani . To corroborate this finding using an alternative approach, we raised polyclonal antibodies (23) to the M r 29 kDa protein ('peak' 1) in rabbits to examine the effect of these antibodies on the antifungal activity of the protein. We reasoned that if the M r 29 kDa protein is truly responsible for the observed antifungal activity, it must be possible to block it by using antibodies specific to the M r 29 kDa protein.…”

“…In recent years, the functional significance of the carbohydrate moieties has been increasingly appreciated. Carbohydrates covalently attached to polypeptide chains can confer many functions to the glycoprotein, for example, resistance to proteolytic degradation and the transduction of information between cells are a few to mention (Deepak et al 2003).…”
