NCBI Protein Information
polygalacturonase inhibiting protein 2
NCBI Summary
Encodes a polygalacturonase inhibiting protein involved in plant defense response. PGIPs inhibit the activity of pectin degrading enzymes such as those produced by fungal pathogens. PGIP2 is induced by fungal infection and methyl jasmonate.Suppressed in the proton sensitive stop1-mutant, but the transcription level was recovered by transformation of STOP2. Knockout mutant showed severe damage in the root tip in low Ca and low pH medium.
