Epl1, a kind of hydrophobic protein, which can improve plant resistance
EPL1 is a kind of type II hydrophobin, which is mostly located on the outer surface of the cell wall and is involved in cell-cell or cell-surface contacts. EPL1 binds to various forms of chitin, but not to cellulose. Meanwhile, Epl1 belongs to the cerato-platanin protein family, which is only found in filamentous fungi and is involved in the induction of plant defense responses, but the molecular mechanisms involved are still largely unknown. Trichoderma atroviride has three genes that encode cerato-platanin proteins: Epl1, Epl2, and Epl3. The expression of EPL1 gene mainly occurred in the process of mycelial growth and mycelial development, while the expression of Epl2 occurred in the process of conidia, and Epl3 was almost not expressed. Study shows that EPL1 can easily self-assemble and form a protein layer at the water interface, and the protein layer can be redissolved in water after stirring.
