Extensin network formation in Vitis vinifera callus cells is an essential and causal event in rapid and H(2)O(2)-induced reduction in primary cell wall hydration. BMC PLANT BIOLOGY 2011; 11:106.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Extensin deposition is considered important for the correct assembly and biophysical properties of primary cell walls, with consequences to plant resistance to pathogens, tissue morphology, cell adhesion and extension growth. However, evidence for a direct and causal role for the extensin network formation in changes to cell wall properties has been lacking. RESULTS Hydrogen peroxide treatment of grapevine (Vitis vinifera cv. Touriga) callus cell walls was seen to induce a marked reduction in their hydration and thickness. An analysis of matrix proteins demonstrated this occurs with the insolubilisation of an abundant protein, GvP1, which displays a primary structure and post-translational modifications typical of dicotyledon extensins. The hydration of callus cell walls free from saline-soluble proteins did not change in response to H(2)O(2), but fully regained this capacity after addition of extensin-rich saline extracts. To assay the specific contribution of GvP1 cross-linking and other wall matrix proteins to the reduction in hydration, GvP1 levels in cell walls were manipulated in vitro by binding selected fractions of extracellular proteins and their effect on wall hydration during H(2)O(2) incubation assayed. CONCLUSIONS This approach allowed us to conclude that a peroxidase-mediated formation of a covalently linked network of GvP1 is essential and causal in the reduction of grapevine callus wall hydration in response to H(2)O(2). Importantly, this approach also indicated that extensin network effects on hydration was only partially irreversible and remained sensitive to changes in matrix charge. We discuss this mechanism and the importance of these changes to primary wall properties in the light of extensin distribution in dicotyledons.

Abstract
With the aim of mimicking the plant cell wall, a layer by layer approach was used to build a thin film consisting of successive adsorption of pectin and extensin. Elaboration of the thin film was monitored by surface plasmon resonance, quartz crystal microbalance, and ellipsometry. All data indicate that formation of the film was successful and that growth occurred according to a nonuniform growth. It is likely that diffusion of the polymers occurred within the multilayer structure and that the final structure is not constituted by layered individual pectin and extensin films. Polymer rearrangements were also supported by the atomic force microscopy images that show a smoother surface after extensin adsorption than after pectin deposition.

Abstract
An analysis of apoplastic extensin cross-linking activity in vegetative organs of Lupinus albus indicated that leaves contained the highest specific activity. Assays of peroxidases fractionated from this material demonstrated that this activity could be largely attributed to a soluble and apoplastic 51-kDa peroxidase, denoted LEP1. Relative to other purified peroxidases, LEP1 demonstrates high extensin cross-linking activity and can be classified as an extensin peroxidase (EP). Optimal conditions for the in vitro oxidation of other phenolic substrates included 1.5-3.0 mm peroxide at pH 5.0. EP activity of LEP1 was low under these conditions but optimal and substantially higher with 100 microm peroxide and neutral pH, suggesting that physiological changes in pH and peroxide in muro could heavily influence the extensin cross-linking activity of LEP1 in vivo. Analysis of LEP1 glycans indicated 11-12 N-linked glycans, predominantly the heptasaccharide Man3XylFucGlcNAc2, but also larger structures showing substantial heterogeneity. Comparative assays with horseradish peroxidase isoform C and peanut peroxidases suggested the high level of glycosylation in LEP1 may be responsible for the high solubility of this EP in the apoplastic space. A full-length cDNA corresponding to LEP1 was cloned. Quantitative reverse transcriptase-PCR demonstrated LEP1 induction in apical portions of etiolated hypocotyls 30-60 min after exposure to white light, prior to the onset of growth inhibition. Comparative modeling of the translated sequence indicated an unusually unobstructed equatorial cleft across the substrate access channel, which might facilitate interaction with extensin and confer higher EP activity.

Abstract
An improved method for the purification of dehydrin from soy (glycine max) is described. Acidic extraction of soy whey was followed by a three step chromatographic process: capture on copper charged Chelating Sepharose Big Beads, intermediate hydrophobic interaction chromatography on Source 15 PHE, and a polishing step on blue Sepharose. The 32-kDa native soy dehydrin was purified to a purity of greater than 98.5% with an overall recovery of 63%. When compared to a previously published purification procedure, recovery, time requirements, and sample preparation steps were improved. The developed method is readily scaleable. Preliminary results show that the process can be used for dehydrins from rosemary (Rosmarinum officinalis) and pea (Pisum sativum).

Abstract
Mass determination by mass spectrometric methods (electrospray ionization mass spectrometry (ESI-MS), matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization time-of-flight mass spectrometry (MALDI-TOFMS)) of sodiumdodecyl sulfate polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE)-separated proteins is a well known procedure and reliable protocols are available. In our efforts to use the established methods to determine the molecular mass of the disulfide bridged, heterodimeric glycoprotein GP3 and to determine the carbohydrate content of each protein subunit we developed an in-gel chemical deglycosylation method. For this purpose we established experimental conditions that allow maximum extraction of the high molecular mass protein subunits and developed a routine method to apply the HF-pyridine deglycosylation protocol to proteins isolated from polyacrylamide gel pieces. The novel protocol and extraction procedure described can be used to analyze O-glycosylated proteins up to 150 kDa after SDS-PAGE separation.

Abstract
Elicitation or peroxide stimulation of grape (Vitis vinifera L. cv Touriga) vine callus cultures results in the rapid and selective in situ insolubilization of an abundant and ionically bound cell wall protein-denominated GvP1. Surface-enhanced laser desorption/ionization/time of flight-mass spectrometry analysis, the amino acid composition, and the N-terminal sequence of purified GvP1 identified it as an 89.9-kD extensin. Analysis of cell walls following the in situ insolubilization of GvP1 indicates large and specific increases in the major amino acids of GvP1 as compared with the amino acids present in salt-eluted cell walls. We calculate that following deposition, covalently bound GvP1 contributes up to 4% to 5% of the cell wall dry weight. The deposition of GvP1 in situ requires peroxide and endogenous peroxidase activity. Isoelectric focusing of saline eluates of callus revealed only a few basic peroxidases that were all isolated or purified to electrophoretic homogeneity. In vitro and in situ assays of extensin cross-linking activity using GvP1 and peroxidases showed that a 40-kD peroxidase cross-linked GvP1 within minutes, whereas other grapevine peroxidases had no significant activity with GvP1. Internal peptide sequences indicated this extensin peroxidase (EP) is a member of the class III peroxidases. We conclude that we have identified and purified an EP from grapevine callus that is responsible for the catalysis of GvP1 deposition in situ during elicitation. Our results suggest that GvP1 and this EP play an important combined role in grapevine cell wall defense.

Abstract
The effect of basic peptides on the gelation of a pectin from the cell wall of tomato was examined through the determination of gel stiffness, and swelling behaviour of the gel in water. Poly-L-lysine, poly-L-arginine, and a synthetic peptide, designed to mimic a sequence of basic amino acids found in a plant cell wall extensin, act as crosslinking agents. Circular dichroism studies on the interaction of synthetic extensin peptides with sodium polygalacturonate demonstrated that a conformational change was induced as a result of their complexation. In addition to their effect as crosslinking agents, the polycationic peptides reduced the swelling of the pectin network in water.

Abstract
Hydroxyproline-rich glycoproteins (HRGPs) are the major proteinaceous components of higher plant walls and the predominant components of the cell wall of the green alga Chlamydomonas reinhardtii. The GP1 protein, an HRGP of the C. reinhardtii wall, is shown to adopt a polyproline II helical configuration and to carry a complex array of arabinogalactoside residues, many branched, which are necessary to stabilize the helical conformation. The deduced GP1 amino acid sequence displays two Ser-Pro-rich domains, one with a repeating (SP)(x)() motif and the other with a repeating (PPSPX)(x)() motif. A second cloned gene a2 also carries the PPSPX repeat, defining a novel gene family in this lineage. The SP-repeat domains of GP1 form a 100-nm shaft with a flexible kink 28 nm from the head. The gp1 gene encodes a PPPPPRPPFPANTPM sequence at the calculated kink position, generating the proposal that this insert interrupts the PPII helix, with the resultant kink exposing amino acids necessary for GP1 to bind to partner molecules. It is proposed that similar kinks in the higher plant HRGPs called extensins may play a comparable role in wall assembly.

Abstract
Fruit ripening is associated with cell wall modifications. The present review focuses on cell wall components and the nature of noncovalent and covalent interactions in the primary cell wall. The role of structural protein cross-links are evaluated within the context of cell wall-mediated changes in texture during fruit ripening. The article discusses molecular approaches in fruit cell wall interactions to regulate processes in fruit ripening in order to improve post-harvest textural characteristics.
