X Abstract

A protein resistant to heat and proteolysis that inhibits serine proteases was isolated from wheat leaf apoplasts. Based on trypsin inhibition, its more active form was a 66-69 kDa oligomer. It was dissociated in an 18-21 kDa monomer having an amino terminal sequence identical to the Box A of germins and germin-like proteins. Like these proteins, it was glycosylated and showed manganese superoxide dismutase activity. The monomer displayed three forms when examined by 2D western blot: two of 19 kDa, pI 5.8 and 6.2; and one of 21 kDa, pI 5.8. It was found that the protein controls serine protease activity in the apoplast of plants challenged with the fungus Septoria tritici. 10.1093/jxb/erg139
