Journal ArticleDOI
The tomato gene Pti1 encodes a serine/threonine kinase that is phosphorylated by Pto and is involved in the hypersensitive response
TL;DR: Findings indicate that Pti1 is involved in a Pto-mediated signaling pathway, probably by acting as a component downstream of Pto in a phosphorylation cascade.
Journal ArticleDOI
Tomato Transcription Factors Pti4, Pti5, and Pti6 Activate Defense Responses When Expressed in Arabidopsis
Yong-Qiang Gu,Mary C. Wildermuth,Suma Chakravarthy,Ying-Tsu Loh,Caimei Yang,Xiaohua He,Yu Han,Gregory B. Martin,Gregory B. Martin +8 more
TL;DR: Results indicate that Pti4, Pti5, and Pti6 activate the expression of a wide array of PR genes and play important and distinct roles in plant defense.
Journal ArticleDOI
The Pto Bacterial Resistance Gene and the Fen Insecticide Sensitivity Gene Encode Functional Protein Kinases with Serine/Threonine Specificity
Ying-Tsu Loh,Gregory B. Martin +1 more
TL;DR: The catalytic activity and amino acid specificity of the tomato Pto and Fen kinases were investigated and it was found that both kinases phosphorylate serine and threonine residues but not tyrosine.
Journal ArticleDOI
Alleles of Pto and Fen occur in bacterial speck-susceptible and fenthion-insensitive tomato cultivars and encode active protein kinases.
TL;DR: The observation that pto and fen are active kinases and yet do not confer bacterial speck resistance or fenthion sensitivity suggests that the amino acid substitutions distinguishing them from Pto and Fen may interfere with recognition of the corresponding signal molecule or with protein-protein interactions involved in the Pto- and Fen-mediated signal transduction pathways.
Journal ArticleDOI
The disease-resistance gene Pto and the fenthion-sensitivity gene fen encode closely related functional protein kinases
Ying-Tsu Loh,Gregory B. Martin +1 more
TL;DR: Here, Pto and Fen are shown to be functional protein kinases that probably participate in the same signal transduction pathway.
