 What are Stress Proteins?

 Stress proteins are a diverse group of proteins

that are synthesized at increase levels
whenever the cells are exposed to a stressful
stimuli.
 They exhibit protective effects against
stresses.

PROTEINS
1. HSP(Heat Shock Proteins)
Maturation of
signalling molecules
and transcriptional
activation of Guiding
transcription translocation of
Folding of newly factors proteins across
synthesised organellar
proteins membranes &
intercellular
compartments

Preventing
Facilitating Heat aggregation,
proteolytic Shock desegregation of
degradation of Proteins oligomeric
unstable proteins proteins and
(HSPs) unfolding
2. LEA (Late Embryogenesis Abundant)
Proteins
GROUP 1
D-19

1st reported as characteristic

cotyledonary proteins in cotton. GROUP 2
D-11

Hydrophilic in nature and are LEA GROUP 3

regulates by transcription i.e., Protein D-7
mRNA synthesis.
Group 4
Found to be abundant during D-95
maturation and desiccation phase
of seed development. Group 5
D-113
3. OSMOTIN PROTEIN
An alkaline protein firstly found in
tobacco.

Localized in vacuole and the cell with

this protein can accumulate
400milimoles of NaCl. Water
Salinity
Stress
It was also classified as Pathogen
Related(PR) gene. UV

RAB Proteins
 It is found in rice plants in response to
ABA(Abscisic Acid) or water stress.
 It is 16kDa protein with basic cytosolic glycine
rich residue.
