Plants defend themselves against biotic or abiotic stress by triggering intracellular signaling pathways that regulate gene expression and responses to the offending agent. Phosphorylation and dephosphorylation represent major mechanisms for the regulation of plant defense pathways. Therefore, MAP kinases and phosphatases have been the focus of many studies in this area. This study identified three phosphatase activities, namely RcPPase I, II and III. Wounding increased the activity levels of RcPPase III, while the activities of RcPPase I and II remained constant compared to the control. N-terminal partial amino acid sequence, biochemical characterization with use of specific substrates and inhibitors indicated that the RcPPase III belong to the family of tyrosine phosphatases (PTPs). |
