Identification of stylar RNases associated with gametophytic self-incompatibility in almond (Prunus dulcis)

Stylar proteins of 13 almond (Prunus dulcia) cultivars with known S-genotypes were surveyed by IEF and 2D-PAGE combined with immunoblot and N-terminal amino acid sequence analyses to identify S-RNase associated with gametophytic self-incompatibility (SI) in this plant species. RNase activities corre...

Description
Summary:Stylar proteins of 13 almond (Prunus dulcia) cultivars with known S-genotypes were surveyed by IEF and 2D-PAGE combined with immunoblot and N-terminal amino acid sequence analyses to identify S-RNase associated with gametophytic self-incompatibility (SI) in this plant species. RNase activities corresponding to Sa and Sb two of the four S-alleles tested, were identified by IEF and RNase activity staining. The Sa-RNase band reacted with the anti-S4-serum prepared from Japanese pear (Pyrus serotina); no reaction with the anitserum was observed with the Sb-RNase band. When the Sa-RNase band was excised from an IEF gel stained for RNase activity, subjected to SDS-PAGE, and detected by immunoblotting, it appeared that this band consisted of a single protein that reacted with the anti-S4-serum with Mr of about 28 kDa. With 2D-PAGE and silver staining of the stylar extracts, all four S-proteins could be successfully distinguished from each other in the highly basic zone of the gel
