| Description | The pathogenesis-related protein-4 (PR-4) family is a group of proteins containing a BARWIN-like domain. This entry includes BARWIN from barley, PR4A/B from wheat, and AtHEL from Arabidopsis. In barley BARWIN is induced by wounding or pathogens [ ]. Homologues of the BARWIN protein are also involved in the plant response to fungal infection and mechanical wounding [, ]. Even though PR-4 proteins have been classified as chitinases, however, several BARWIN homologues have been shown to possess ribonuclease activity [, ]. Antifungal DNase activity has also been observed, together with RNase activity, for the Theobroma cacao TcPR-4b protein []. |
