| Description | 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 [ , ]. They have been classified into several subgroups in Pfam and according to Bray and Dure [].This family includes Lea14-like proteins which contain a Water Stress and Hypersensitive response (WHy) domain, a region of unknown function found in several plant proteins involved in either the response to water stress or the response to bacterial infection []. This entry also includes WHy domain-containing proteins from bacteria. Their function is not clear. |
