Other claims from this paper (6)
- Observation The rust protein Uf-RTP1p from Uromyces fabae was detected in the extrahaustorial matrix and also inside infected plant cells by immunofluorescence and electron microscopy.
- Observation Uf-RTP1p shows no similarity to sequences listed in public databases.
- Association Uf-RTP1p was found in increasing amounts in host cells, including the host nucleus, depending on the developmental stage of haustoria.
- Observation Functional efficiency of the putative nuclear localization signal was verified only for the Uf-RTP1p NLS, using GFP fusions in transformed tobacco protoplasts.
- Observation Western blot analysis indicated that Uf-RTP1p and Us-RTP1p most likely enter the host cell as N-glycosylated proteins.
- Mechanism The localization of RTP1p suggests that it might play an important role in maintaining the biotrophic interaction.
