Cryptogein, a proteinaceous elicitor secreted by Phytophthora cryptogea, induces a remarkable hypersensitive cell death in tobacco cells. Two cryptogein mutants were analysed to characterize the induction mechanism of cell death; one was a newly synthesized mutant N93A whose 93rd Asn residue was changed to Ala, the other was K13V whose Lys at position 13 was replaced with Val. The effect of these mutations was evaluated in terms of extracellular alkalization, production of active oxygen species (AOS) and progression to death. The mutation N93A resulted in a reduction in activity to 71.0, 74.6 and 24.5% for original rates of extracellular alkalization, AOS production and cell death progression, respectively. In the case of the K13V mutation, these rates changed to 114, 3.38 and 7.40%, respectively. The lipid-binding activities of the mutants were analysed using fluorogenic lipid of dehydroergosterol. The results for N93A and K13V were 38.3 and 3.40% compared with the wild type, respectively. These findings indicate that the lipid-binding form was the only conformation to induce the production of AOS and programmed cell death in plants.
