  1. The identification of lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-binding proteins in Arabidopsis thaliana plasma membranes. 22/05/2014 Name: Mr. Cornelius Sipho VilakaziSupervisor: Dr. LizellePiaterCo-supervisor: Prof. Ian Dubery

  2. Hypothesis Lipopolysaccharide (LPS) from the outer membrane of Gram- negative bacteria binds to plasma membrane localized protein receptor(s) in plants.

  3. Background

  4. ∫ Plant Immunity∫ Pre-formed defenses∫ Inducible defense responses Figure 1: Plant innate immunity active defense mechanisms. (Jones and Dangl, 2006; Muthamilarasan and Prasad, 2013; Zhang et al., 2013; Klemptneret al., 2014)

  5. Lipopolysaccharide (LPS) is a M/PAMP therefore a potent inducer of innate immunity. Figure 2: General structure of LPS (taken from Erridgeet al., 2002). • (Erridgeet al., 2002; Silipoet al., 2010)

  6. Why is the plant plasma membrane an interesting target for LPS investigations? Figure 3: Membrane-associated pattern recognition receptors (PRRs) can perceive microbial patterns (P/MAMP) from different microbes (taken from Mazzotta and Kemmerling, 2011).

  7. Affinity chromatography (2) (1) (3) • (Pierce Biotechnology, RESYN Biosciences; Hyglos GmbH)

  8. Research aims The objective of the study was to capture, identify and characterize LPS-interacting proteins from Arabidopsis thaliana plasma membranes (PM) in order to elucidate the LPS receptor/receptor complex leading to the activation of host plant defense responses.

  9. Materials and methods

  10. Extraction and purification of bacterial LPS

  11. Preparation of plant material Arabidopsis thaliana (Columbia ecotype) were grown in soil under a 16 h/ 8 h light-dark cycle in a green house.

  12. Plasma membrane isolation

  13. Affinity chromatography

  14. Results and discussion

  24. Conclusion The novel affinity-capture strategy for the enrichment of LPS-interacting proteins proved to be effective in specifically binding proteins involved in plant defense responses . The identification of MAMP receptors will lead to a better understanding of pathogen perception in plants and may lead to the development of new and innovative ways to control plant diseases.
