Isoforms of Arginase in the Lichens Evernia prunastri and Xanthoria parietina: Physiological Roles and Their Implication in the Controlled Parasitism of the Mycobiont
Conference paper
Summary
Evernia prunastri and Xanthoria parietina contain several arginase isoforms. They are mainly produced by the corresponding mycobiont and are the key enzymes of putrescine biosynthesis. However, glycosylated arginases can be secreted to the intercellular spaces and they enter the phycobiont when glycosylated urease in the algal cell wall does not retain this isoform of arginase. This implies an increased production of algal putrescine that induces protoplast release after a partial hydrolysis of the cellulose component of the cell wall by putrescine-activated glucanase.
