<i>Brachypodium</i> antifreeze protein gene products inhibit ice recrystallization, attenuate ice nucleation, and reduce immune response

2022-02-20

Abstract excerpt

Antifreeze proteins (AFPs) from the model crop, Brachypodium distachyon , allow freeze survival and attenuate pathogen-mediated ice nucleation. Intriguingly, each Brachypodium AFP gene encodes two proteins, an autonomous AFP and a leucine-rich repeat (LRR). We present structural models suggesting that ice-binding motifs on the ~13 kDa AFPs can “spoil” nucleating arrays on the ~120 kDa bacterial ice nucleating pr...
