RESUMO
In bean cells treated with fungal elicitor, the transcripts of PvPRP1, a gene encoding a proline-rich protein, decreased to ~6% of the original level within 4 hr. The apparent mRNA half-life during the period of rapid degradation was ~45 min. The rate of PvPRP1 gene transcription remained constant over this period, as determined by nuclear run-off assays, indicating a decrease in mRNA stability. By using actinomycin D to block transcription, the half-life of PvPRP1 mRNA in unelicited cells was estimated to be ~60 hr. In cells treated with actinomycin D followed by the addition of elicitor, the PvPRP1 mRNA half-life was ~18 hr, whereas cells treated with these reagents in reciprocal order exhibited a half-life of ~6 hr. The protein synthesis inhibitors emetine and anisomycin also inhibited the rate of PvPRP1 mRNA degradation in elicited cells. Based on these data, we concluded that the rapid decrease in the PvPRP1 mRNA level in elicited cells is due to destabilization, which is dependent on new RNA and protein synthesis.
