IPR000167

Description

IPR000167 is a Dehydrin.

<p>LEA (late embryogenesis abundant) proteins were first identified in land plants. Plant LEA proteins have been found to accumulate to high levels during the last stage of seed formation (when a natural desiccation of the seed tissues takes place) and during periods of water deficit in vegetative organs. Later, LEA homologues have also been found in various species [[cite:PUB00088596], [cite:PUB00009713]]. They have been classified into several subgroups in Pfam and according to Bray and Dure [[cite:PUB00088595]].</p> <p>Dehydrin has been classified as part of the LEA family (D-11 from Dure, or group 2 from Bray) [[cite:PUB00088595]]. Dehydrins contribute to freezing stress tolerance in plants and it was suggested that this could be partly due to their protective effect on membranes [[cite:PUB00015239]].</p> <p>Dehydrins share a number of structural features. One of the most notable features is the presence, in their central region, of a continuous run of five to nine serines followed by a cluster of charged residues. Such a region has been found in all known dehydrins so far with the exception of pea dehydrins. A second conserved feature is the presence of two copies of a lysine-rich octapeptide; the first copy is located just after the cluster of charged residues that follows the poly-serine region and the second copy is found at the C-terminal extremity.</p>

Associated GO terms

GO predictions are based solely on the InterPro-to-GO mappings published by EMBL-EBI, which are in turn based on the mapping of predicted domains to the InterPro dataset. The InterPro-to-GO mapping was last updated on , while the GO metadata was last updated on .

GO term Namespace Name Definition Relationships
Biological process Response to water Any process that results in a change in state or activity of a cell or an organism (in terms of movement, secretion, enzyme production, gene expression, etc.) as a result of a stimulus reflecting the presence, absence, or concentration of water.
