title: Molecular cloning of the cDNA encoding a stress-inducible protein phosphatase 1 (PP1) catalytic subunit from French bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.).
abstract: A cDNA showing high sequence similarity (> 70%) to plant protein phosphatase 1 catalytic subunit variants from other species has been isolated from a cDNA library derived from mRNAs expressed in elicitor-treated suspension-cultured cells. The clone appears to be a near full-length 1431 bp with a 172 bp 5'-untranslated region and a 317 bp 3'-untranslated region. The open reading frame, determined by sequence similarity, codes for a protein with predicted M(r) of 35,552. Alternatively an ATG situated to the 5' end of the putative start site would increase the protein size by 6 amino acids. The mRNA for Pvpp1 was shown to be rapidly induced by elicitor treatment of suspension-cultured cells of French bean. The cloned cDNA represents one of the few examples of a gene product that is probably involved in dephosphorylation events arising after the initial responses to biotic stress.
