By using two-dimensional polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis, 10 additional pathogenesis-related proteins (b6c, b9c, b10a, b10b, b11a, b11b, b12, b13, b14, b15) were found in intercellular fluid extracts of stressed 'Xanthi-nc' tobacco leaf tissue. Proteins were identified as extracellular pathogenesis-related stress proteins by polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis analysis of three successive intercellular fluid extracts compared with homogenates before and after making intercellular fluid extracts. Four proteins (b12, b13, b14, b15) were only resolved by using native polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis for basic proteins in the first dimension gel and they were best extracted in 0.05 M Tris–HCl (pH 7.5) and 0.05 M CaCl2 as the infiltration buffer. The four basic proteins were found in intercellular fluid extracts from leaf tissue subjected to the same types of chemical inducers as previously described for tobacco pathogenesis-related proteins. Their accumulation was inhibited by basic amino acids or spermidine (1 mM) and they were resistant to endogenous and exogenous (trypsin, subtilisin) proteolysis. They did not bind to concanavalin A – Sepharose. These findings indicate that at least 23 proteins accumulate extracellularly after various types of stress in 'Xanthi-nc' tobacco green tissue. These proteins probably represent several groups or families of plant stress proteins.

In addition to polyacrylamide gel electrophoretic analysis of intercellular fluid extracts, a simple method of detection of extracellular pathogenesis-related proteins was based on direct native polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis for acidic and basic proteins with leaf tissue infiltrated with 150 mM sucrose. This technique allowed for the detection of the complete set of tobacco pathogenesis-related proteins without having to extract the intercellular fluid by low-speed centrifugation. A major advantage of the technique is the capacity to observe the distribution of extracellular endogenous or exogenous proteins in the tissue directly subjected to electrophoresis.

The extracellular accumulation of b (pathogenesis-related) proteins in Nicotiana tabacum cv. Xanthi-nc and cv. Samsun and in Nicotiana sylvestris was studied by floating leaf disks on solutions (50 μM – 5 mM) of putative inducers at pH 4 to 8 for 72 h. Intercellular fluid b proteins were detected only in green tissue, and optimal conditions required specific light regimes. Amino acids, organic acids, sugars, nucleotides, amines, vitamins, hormones, metals, and several other chemicals were compared with acetylsalicylate at 0.3 mM for the presence of b proteins in intercellular fluid extracts analyzed by native polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. Several protein and non-protein amino acids and some of their derivatives were inducers in addition to thiamine, thiamine derivatives, and a few other chemicals at concentrations ranging from 200 μM to 5 mM. Various ways of introducing inducers into tissue (floating, injection, infiltration, root uptake) allowed b protein accumulation. Stimulation of b protein accumulation was observed when osmotica (sucrose at 200 mM) were added to inducers. Chelating agents, spermidine, lysine, and hydroquinone could inhibit b protein accumulation induced by L-serine, thiamine, L-α-aminoisobutyrate, and silver nitrate. Results with inducing chemicals and with prolonged floating of tissue on water, which was also conducive to b protein accumulation, support the hypothesis that b protein accumulation is a green tissue generalized response to various forms of prolonged stress.

The composition of pathogenesis-related proteins (PR-proteins) in the intercellular fluid (ICF) and leaf tissue of the hypersensitive tobacco cultivar Xanthi-nc inoculated with Tobacco mosaic virus (TMV), and their inhibitory influence on TMV multiplication were studied. The ICF PR-proteins of infected plants were separated after solubilisation by decreasing gradient of ammonium sulphate, the cell PR-proteins were separated after acidic homogenisation of leaf tissues. The ICF and cell PR-proteins were further purified by ion exchange chromatography on DEAE cellulose. Using discontinuous non-denaturating polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis of DEAE cellulose fractions the PR-proteins were detected. Their molecular weights were estimated by SDS-PAGE. The ICF and cell proteins of infected leaves included PR-proteins of the molecular weights 15–16 kDa (Group 1), 27–28 kDa (Group 3: chitinases) and 36–40 kDa (Group 2a: &#1704-1,3-glucanases). Fractions with different PR-proteins were tested for their effect on infectivity of TMV. Particularly the PR3 and PR2a proteins seem to decrease the infectivity of TMV.

Intercellular fluid b proteins from hypersensitive Nicotiana tabacum L. cv. Xanthi-nc and N. sylvestris Speg. and Comes infected with tobacco mosaic virus were compared by two-dimensional (2-D) polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. Except for missing bands b2, b6a, b6b, and b7b, the overall 2-D electrophoretic pattern of N. sylvestris intercellular fluid proteins was similar to the one observed with 'Xanthi-nc' tobacco. Intercellular proteins were also studied by chromatography on con-canavalin A. Glycoproteins corresponding to b6a and b7a proteins of N. tabacum and the [Formula: see text] analog of N. sylvestris were identified. These proteins are probably peroxidase isozymes, as peroxidase activities with the same electrophoretic mobility were detected after polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. No esterase activity was associated with any b protein band in gels. Esterase activities decreased upon virus infection, but accumulation of b proteins and peroxidase activities increased.

In tobacco mosaic virus infected hypersensitive Nicotiana species, the pathogenesis-related (PR) or b proteins were found with other proteins in the intercellular fluid of leaf tissue. Analysis of leaves from mock-inoculated plants did not reveal the presence of detectable amounts of proteins in the intercellular fluid. The presence of proteins in the intercellular fluid seems to be widespread since 10 proteins were detected in tobacco mosaic virus infected Chenopodium quinoa Willd. These proteins were found not only in inoculated tissue but also in the intercellular fluid of uninoculated upper leaves. A two-dimensional gel electrophoretic analysis of intercellular fluid proteins from N. tabacum L. cv. Xanthi-nc infected leaves showed that the relative molecular weight of protein b2 is larger (14 700) than the one of b1 and b3 (14 200). Other proteins, ranging in molecular weights from 12 500 to 36 300, could also be detected. We postulate that the presence of rather large amounts of proteins, including the well-characterized b proteins, in the intercellular fluid of infected hypersensitive leaves reflects overall changes in cell-to-cell interactions and in the cell wall metabolism.
