    Abstract:
    In tomato (Lycopersicon esculentum) several acidic and basic apoplastic pathogenesis-related (PR) proteins are induced upon inoculation with virulent or avirulent races of Cladosporium fulvum (Cooke) (syn. Fulvia fulva [Cooke] Cif). One of the most predominant and best characterized tomato PR proteins is P14, a basic protein that shows homology to the tobacco (Nicotiana tabacum) PR-1 protein family. To investigate whether, by analogy with these tobacco PR-1 proteins, P14 also belongs to a family of differently charged isomers, the abundantly occurring PR proteins with molecular masses around 15 kilodaltons (kD) were purified from apoplastic fluids isolated from C. fulvum-infected tomato. Three basic proteins migrating similarly to P14 on sodium dodecyl sulfate polyacrylamide gels were purified to homogeneity by gel filtration followed by high resolution liquid chromatography. Two proteins (15.5 kD, isoelectric point [pl] 10.9 and 10.7 appeared to be serologically related to each other and to the tobacco PR-1 proteins. A third protein (15 kD, pl 10.4) was not serologically related to any other tomato PR protein but was found to be related to PR-R from tobacco.
