| Abstract | Plant-parasitic nematodes are extremely destructive pathogens with a cosmopolitan distribution and a host range that affects most crops. They are characterized by distinct parasitic lifestyles, e.g., as sedentary or migratory endo- or ectoparasites, resulting in high losses in yield and revenue. Possessing limited lipid metabolism, they produce one or two structurally unique classes of small α-helix-rich fatty acid and retinol binding (FAR) proteins that have no counterpart in other organisms. We investigated the sequence and structural characteristics of the FAR protein of the root-knot nematode Meloidogyne javanica (Mj-FAR-1) in comparison to other studied FAR proteins. Protein sequence analyses enabled phylogenetic clustering according to trophic groups and lifestyles. Bioinformatics analysis of the FAR protein sequences revealed ten likely core amino acids representing the trophic-group clustering. Clear modifications of four of these amino acids from less reactive (nonpolar, with aliphatic R group) to more reactive (positively or negatively charged R groups, or uncharged polar R groups) might distinguish free-living from parasitic nematode species. Structural predictions of the mature Mj-FAR-1 protein and its ligand-binding pockets, suggest that adaptation toward parasitism is associated with increased reactivity of the second pocket residues, as well as those on the protein surface. Subcellular localization of Mj-FAR-1 with or without its signal peptide was determined by Agrobacterium infiltration of N-terminal mCherry-tagged protein into Nicotiana benthamiana leaves. Intact Mj-FAR-1 with its signal peptide was predominantly localized along the plasma membrane surrounding plant cells while removing the signal peptide resulted in additional localization within the cell nucleus. The nuclear localization agreed with in-silico analysis of the Mj-FAR-1 sequence and sheds new light on its function in manipulating the plant response. Our study provides the first basic structural information and subcellular localization of the plant-parasitic Mj-FAR-1 protein. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
