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 entry represents Pfam LEA_5, or D-19 from Dure, or group 1 from Bray. Proteins in this entry includes EM1 (At3g51810) and EM6 (At2g40170) from Arabidopsis [ ]. This entry also includes some bacterial hydrophilins. Some proteins in this entry also contain the KGG motif (). |
