| Summary: |
A cDNA corresponding to 1-Cys peroxiredoxin,an evolutionarily conserved thiol-speci .c an-
tioxidant enzyme,was isolated from Xerophyta viscosa Baker,a resurrection plant indigenous to Southern Africa and belonging to the family Velloziaceae.The cDNA,designated XvPer1 ,contains an open reading frame that encodes a polypeptide of 219 residues with a
predicted molecular weight of 24.2 kDa.The XvPer1 polypeptide shows signi .cant sequence identity (approx.70%)to other recently identi .ed plant 1-Cys peroxiredoxins and relatively high levels of sequence similarity (approx.40%)to non-plant 1-Cys peroxiredoxins.The
XvPer1 cDNA contains a putative polyadenylation site. As for all 1-Cys peroxiredoxins identi .ed to date,the amino acid sequence proposed to constitute the active site of the enzyme,PVCTTE,is highly conserved in XvPer1.It also contains a putative bipartite nuclear localization signal.Southern blot analysis revealed that there is a single copy of XvPer1 in the X.viscosa genome. All angiosperm 1-Cys peroxiredoxins described to date are seed-species and absent in vegetative tissues even under stress conditions;therefore,XvPer1 is unique n
that it is expressed in the vegetative tissues of X.viscosa . The XvPer1 transcript was absent in fully hydrated X.viscosa tissue but levels increased in tissues subjected to abiotic stresses such as dehydration,heat (42 C),high light intensity (1,500 m–2 s–1 ) and when treated with abscisic acid (100 l ABA)and sodium chloride (100 mM NaCl).Western blot analyses correlated with the patterns of expression of XvPer1 transcripts under di .erent stress conditions. Immunofluorescence analyses revealed that XvPer1 is localized in the nucleus of dehydrated X.viscosa leaf cells.
