Many actin-binding proteins are expressed in eukaryotic cells. These polypeptides assist in stabilizing and rearranging the organization of the actin cytoskeleton in response to exteal stimuli, or during cell migration and adhesion. Here we review a particular set of actin-binding proteins called plastins. Plastins (also called fimbrins) belong to a subclass of actin-binding proteins known as actin bundling proteins. Three isoforms have been characterized in mammals: T-plastin is expressed in cells from solid tissue, whereas L-plastin occurs predominantly in hematopoietic cells. The third isoform, I-plastin, is specifically expressed in the small intestine, colon and kidney. These proteins share the unique property of cross-linking actin filaments into tight bundles. Although plastins are primarily involved in regulation of the actin cytoskeleton, they possess some unique features. For instance, they are implicated in invasion by pathogenic bacteria such as Shigella flexneri and Salmonella typhimurium. Also, L-plastin plays an important role in leukocyte function. T-plastin, on the other hand, is possibly involved in DNA repair. Finally, both T- and L-plastin are implicated in several diseases, and L-plastin is considered to be a valuable marker for cancer.

由禾本科布氏白粉菌小麦专化型(Blumeria graminis f. sp. tritici, Bgt)引起的小麦白粉病是一种严重的叶部病害。培育抗病品种较其它化学和栽培防治是一种最经济、环保而有效的方法。然而,由于小麦白粉菌生理小种多,毒性频率变异快等特点,致使大部分抗病品种在生产上大规模推广3-5年后便失去抗性。因此,发掘和鉴定新的抗白粉病基因在小麦育种道路上是一项坚持不懈的工作。从德国引进
