Tobacco mosaic virus coat protein and the large subunit of the host protein ribulose-1,5-biphosphate carboxylase share a common antigenic determinant. 1986

R G Dietzgen, and M Zaitlin

An immunological relationship was detected between the coat protein of the common (U1) strain of tobacco mosaic virus (TMV) and the large subunit of the ubiquitous CO2-fixing host enzyme, ribulose-1,5-biphosphate carboxylase (RuBisCo). When assayed by Western immunoblotting or indirect ELISA, polyclonal antisera to TMV coat protein and to RuBisCo reacted with both antigens. In addition, a monoclonal antibody specific for the C-terminal antigenic determinant of TMV coat protein reacted with RuBisCo. Conversely, several monoclonal antibodies generated to the large subunit of RuBisCo reacted with TMV coat protein. This cross-reactivity was verified by an examination of the amino acid sequences of both proteins. A region of homology was found between the carboxy proximal portion of coat protein and the sequence 60-73 residues from the amino terminus of RuBisCo large subunit. This homology was not mirrored at the nucleic acid level because of different codon usages for the two proteins.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D003429 Cross Reactions Serological reactions in which an antiserum against one antigen reacts with a non-identical but closely related antigen. Cross Reaction,Reaction, Cross,Reactions, Cross
D004797 Enzyme-Linked Immunosorbent Assay An immunoassay utilizing an antibody labeled with an enzyme marker such as horseradish peroxidase. While either the enzyme or the antibody is bound to an immunosorbent substrate, they both retain their biologic activity; the change in enzyme activity as a result of the enzyme-antibody-antigen reaction is proportional to the concentration of the antigen and can be measured spectrophotometrically or with the naked eye. Many variations of the method have been developed.

D012273 Ribulose-Bisphosphate Carboxylase A carboxy-lyase that plays a key role in photosynthetic carbon assimilation in the CALVIN-BENSON CYCLE by catalyzing the formation of 3-phosphoglycerate from ribulose 1,5-biphosphate and CARBON DIOXIDE. It can also utilize OXYGEN as a substrate to catalyze the synthesis of 2-phosphoglycolate and 3-phosphoglycerate in a process referred to as photorespiration.
