Harpin
Title: Harpin
CAS Registry Number: 151438-54-9
Trademarks: Messenger (Eden Bioscience)
Literature References: Protein product of the hrpN gene of Erwinia amylovora, a phytopathogenic bacterium that causes fire blight disease. Composed of 403 amino acid residues; mol wt ~44 kDa. Member of a class of glycine-rich, acidic, heat stable proteins that elicit the hypersensitive response as part of the plant's defense mechanism vs pathogenic bacteria. Induces systemic acquired resistance to fire blight and many other plant pathogens, enhances plant growth, and promotes insect repellency. Isoln: Z.-M. Wei et al., Science 257, 85 (1992). Prepn: S.
