- Abstract
- We recently identified a new type of two-domain plant proteins composed of a carbohydrate modifying glycoside hydrolase domain and a carbohydrate-binding ricin B domain. Our analyses show that these proteins are present everywhere in the plant kingdom. We guess this one proteins with two domains exert a bifunctional role. Considering the ability of the ricinB domain to recognize and bind specific sugar residues, it is expected that this interaction may help the glycoside hydrolase domain in the hydrolysis of complex polysaccharides. This research project aims (1) research into the activity and specificity of the glycoside hydrolase and ricin B protein domains and (2) to decipher the physiological role of these multidomain proteins in plants. Ultimately, the results of this research can contribute to the development of plants with better performance under stress conditions.
