条形柄锈菌吸器特异效应蛋白Hasp68抑制寄主免疫并与小麦组织蛋白酶B互作

作为活体营养专性寄生真菌,条形柄锈菌（小麦条锈病）在侵染过程中通过形成吸器向寄主细胞释放效应蛋白,干扰寄主的防卫反应,促进其侵染与致病。因此,条形柄锈菌效应蛋白的鉴定与功能研究对揭示其毒性机理具有重要意义。本实验室前期完成了条形柄锈菌CYR31生理小种吸器转录组分析,从中鉴定得到一个吸器特异诱导表达分泌蛋白Hasp68,利用农杆菌侵染在烟草细胞中瞬时表达该基因,能够抑制小鼠促细胞凋亡蛋白Bax诱导的细胞程序性死亡,鉴定为条形柄锈菌候选效应蛋白。Hasp68基因全长318bp,编码105_aa,N-端包含20_aa的信号肽,无保守结构域。BlastX分析表明Hasp68为条形柄锈菌特有效应蛋白,在其他真菌中无同源蛋白,且在条形柄锈菌16个菌系中呈较低的序列多态性,表明其在条形柄锈菌的进化过程中相对保守。借助荧光假单胞菌EtHAn的三型分泌系统,在小麦细胞中过表达Hasp68能够抑制由非致病细菌引起的PTI（PAMP-triggered immunity）相关胼胝质的积累;同时,也能抑制小麦与无毒条形柄锈菌互作中ETI（effector-triggered immunity）相关的活性氧爆发和过敏性坏死反应,表明效应蛋白Hasp68具有抑制寄主免疫反应的功能。利用酵母双杂交系统筛选Hasp68在小麦中的互作蛋白,发现其与组织蛋白酶B（cathepsin B）TaCTSB互作,双分子荧光技术进一步验证二者在烟草细胞中共表达存在互作,初步揭示了效应蛋白Hasp68的互作靶标。     

条形柄锈菌小麦专化型小种CYR29有性自交及毒性与无毒性基因的遗传分析

由条形柄锈菌小麦专化型（小麦条锈菌）Puccinia striiformis f. sp. tritici引起的条锈病是小麦上重大的生物灾害,严重威胁小麦安全生产。应用抗病品种是防治小麦条锈病最为经济有效的措施,但是条锈菌毒性的频繁变异,常常导致品种抗病性丧失,从而引发条锈病新的大流行。有性生殖是条锈菌毒性变异的重要途径,本文通过对小麦条锈菌流行小种CYR29在转主寄主小檗上的自交研究了有性生殖与病菌毒性变异之间的关系。通过诱导CYR29单夏孢子菌系形成冬孢子、萌发产生的担孢子接种转主寄主小檗,使其完成有性过程,由此共获得81个自交后代,对有性后代群体S1和亲本菌系在20个含单个抗病基因的近等基因系鉴别寄主上进行毒性鉴定。S1群体和亲本在Yr5、Yr8、Yr10、Yr15、Yr24、Yr32、YrSP、YrTr1和Yr26上均为无毒性,在Yr1、Yr31、Yr44和YrTye上均为毒性。S1群体在Yr6、Yr7、Yr9、Yr17、Yr27、Yr43和YrExp2这7个位点上出现了毒性分离,表明亲本在这些位点为杂合。81个自交后代可分为24种毒性表型,其中1种表型与亲本毒性一致,含22个菌系;其余23种毒性表型与亲本存在差异,含59个菌系,毒性变异率高达72.8%,且发生变异的子代均比亲本毒性谱更宽。结果表明该小种经过有性过程后产生了毒性增强的新菌系,进一步证实有性生殖是导致小麦条锈菌具有较高遗传多样性的原因之一。

A Plating‐PCR Technique for Detection and Quantification of the Biological Control Agent Agrobacterium vitis Strain E26 in Soil under Controlled Conditions

Agrobacterium vitis strain E26 is a promising biocontrol agent of grapevine crown gall, an economically important disease of grape worldwide. In this report, we developed a Plating‐PCR method that allows specific detection and quantification of E26 by combining classical microbiological techniques with molecular tools. Random amplified polymorphic DNA fingerprints were used to differentiate E26 from other A. vitis strains. A differentially amplified fragment from E26 was sequenced and characterized as a sequence characterized amplified region (SCAR) marker. Two primer pairs were then designed and evaluated for their specificity against E26. One of the two SCAR primer pairs, 740F/R, was further selected for specific detection of strain E26. A plating assay coupled to PCR with the SCAR primers 740F/R allowed the assessment of population dynamics of E26 in non‐sterile grape rhizosphere soil under controlled conditions.

为了探索快速鉴定马铃薯瓢虫Henosepilachna vigintioctomaculata(Motschulsky)和茄二十八星瓢虫Henosepilachna vigintioctopunctata(Fabricius)的分子生物学方法,本研究在随机扩增多态性DNA(random amplified polymorphic DNA,RAPD)的基础上,分别设计了可以鉴别两个物种的序列特征扩增区域(sequence characterized amplified regions,SCAR)标记。从随机合成的60条引物中筛选出来2条特异性引物(分别为OPI-6和OPJ-15),引物OPI-6在马铃薯瓢虫中扩增出约750 bp的特异性条带,引物OPJ-15在茄二十八星中扩增出约750 bp的特异性条带,根据测序结果设计了两对SCAR引物对筛选结果进行验证,发现根据OPI-6的测序结果所设计的SCAR引物(OPI-6 test)仅能在马铃薯瓢虫中扩增出645 bp的条带,而根据OPJ-15的测序结果所设计的SCAR引物(OPJ-15 test)仅能在茄二十八星瓢虫中扩增出436 bp的条带。这两对SCAR引物能够准确、稳定且快速地区分马铃薯瓢虫与茄二十八星瓢虫,对这两种害虫的精准防控具有重要意义。     

Use of random amplified polymorphic DNA to identify several novel markers for sex identification in the crested serpent eagle and crested goshawk

The crested serpent eagle (Spilornis cheela hoya) has no distinct sexual dimorphic traits. In the current study, we report the results of an EE0.6 (EcoRI 0.6-kb fragment) sequence applied to S. cheela hoya and a novel random amplified polymorphic DNA (RAPD) marker that can be used to sex individuals within the species S. cheela hoya and Accipiter trivigatus formosae (crested goshawk). We used sex-specific primers for the avian CHD1 (chromo-helicase-DNA-binding 1) gene and the EE0.6 sequence in PCR assays to determine sex. In addition, 120 random primers were used for RAPD fingerprinting to search for novel sex-specific fragments of S. cheela hoya. The OPBB08 random primer generated a 1241-bp sex-specific fragment in all female S. cheela hoya. From the nucleotide sequence, PCR primers were designed to amplify 553-, 895-, and 194-bp sex-specific fragments present in all female S. cheela hoya. One of these primer pairs (ScBB08-7F/R) also amplified a male/female common fragment that can be used as an internal control (543 bp). Moreover, one of the primer pairs (ScBB08-5aF/5bR) could be used to identify genders of A. trivigatus formosae. In conclusion, we identified novel sex-specific DNA markers of S. cheela hoya and A. trivigatus formosae that can be used for rapid and accurate sex identification.     

Genotyping the mouse severe combined immunodeficiency mutation using the polymerase chain reaction with confronting two-pair primers (PCR-CTPP).

An allele specific polymerase chain reaction with confronting two-pair primers (PCR-CTPP) was developed as an assay for genotyping the mouse Prkdcscid gene mutation (former name scid). The reverse primer (WR) was designed to include the antisense nucleotide (A) specific for the wild type allele at the 3' end with the counterpart forward primer (F) upstream. The other forward primer (MF) was designed to include the sense nucleotide (A) specific for the Prkdcscid mutation at the 3' end with the other counterpart reverse primer (R) downstream. PCR was performed in a single tube with these two pairs of primers. The products specific for each allele extended by F/WR (101 bp) or MF/R (180 bp) were visualized with common PCR products (257 bp) extended by F/R, and three genotypes of mice (Prkdcscid/Prkdcscid, Prkdcscid/+, and +/+) were clearly distinguished.     

Comparison of three different PCR methods for detection of Brucella spp in human blood samples

In the diagnosis of human brucellosis, PCR could be a more sensitive technique than blood cultures and more specific than conventional serological tests. We compared three different PCR methods for the detection of Brucella spp. and we studied whether human genomic DNA affect the sensitivity of three primer pairs for the detection of Brucella DNA in a peripheral-blood PCR assay. These three pairs of primers amplified three different fragments included in: (i). a gene encoding a 31-kDa Brucella abortus antigen (primers B4/B5), (ii). a sequence 16S rRNA of B. abortus (primers F4/R2), and (iii). a gene encoding an outer membrane protein (omp-2) (primers JPF/JPR). The three primers assayed showed a difference in sensitivity for detecting purified Brucella DNA, ranging between 8 fg and 20 pg. However, the sensitivity of the primers F4/R2 and B4/B5 was affected by the presence of human DNA while the primers JPF/JPR were not. Therefore, although the sensitivity of PCR using primers F4/R2 is affected by human DNA, they are still the most sensitive and they could provide a useful tool for the diagnosis of human brucellosis.     

Association between PCR-SSCP of bone morphogenetic protein 15 gene and prolificacy in Jining Grey goats

The Jining Grey is a prolific local goat breed in P.R. China. Bone morphogenetic protein 15 (BMP15) gene that controls high fecundity of Inverdale, Hanna, Lacaune, Belclare, Cambridge, and Small Tailed Han ewes was studied as a candidate gene for the prolificacy of Jining Grey goats. According to the sequence of ovine BMP15 gene, six pairs of primers were designed to detect single nucleotide polymorphisms in exon 1 and exon 2 of the BMP15 gene in both high fecundity breed (Jining Grey goats) and low fecundity breeds (Boer, Liaoning Cashmere, and Inner Mongolia Cashmere goats) by single strand conformation polymorphism (SSCP). Two pairs of primers (F1/R1 and F2/R2) were used to amplify the exon 1. Four pairs of primers (F3/R3, F4/R4, F5/R5, and F6/R6) were used to amplify the exon 2. Only the products amplified by primer F5/R5 displayed polymorphism. Results indicated that two genotypes (AA and AB) were detected in prolific Jining Grey goats and only one genotype (AA) was detected in low fecundity goat breeds. In Jining Grey goats frequencies of genotypes AA and AB were 0.10 and 0.90, respectively. Sequencing revealed two point mutations (G963A and G1050C) of BMP15 gene in the AB genotype in comparison to the AA genotype. In Jining Grey goats the heterozygous AB does had 1.13 (p < 0.01) kids more than the homozygous AA does. These results preliminarily showed that the BMP15 gene is either a major gene that influences the prolificacy of Jining Grey goats or a molecular genetic marker in close linkage with such a gene.     

Development of species-specific primers for detection of Streptococcus mutans in mixed bacterial samples

Streptococcus mutans is the major microbial pathogen associated with dental caries in children. The objectives of this study were to design and evaluate species-specific primers for the identification of S. mutans. Validation of the best primer set, Sm479F/R, was performed using seven S. mutans reference strains, 48 ATCC non-S. mutans strains, 92 S. mutans clinical isolates, DNA samples of S. mutans-Streptococcus sobrinus or S. mutans-Streptococcus sanguinis, and mixed bacterial DNA of saliva samples from 33 18-month-old children. All of the S. mutans samples tested positive, and no PCR products were amplified from members of the other streptococci or nonstreptococci strains examined. The lowest detection level for PCR was 10(-2) ng of S. mutans DNA (c. 4.6 x 10(3) copies) in the test samples. The results of this study suggest that the Sm479F/R primer pair is highly specific and sensitive for identification of S. mutans in either purified or mixed DNA samples.     

Determination of RAPD Markers in Rice and their Conversion into Sequence Tagged Sites (STSs) and STS-Specific Primers

We produced 102 randomly amplified polymorphic DNA (RAPD) markersmapped on all 12 chromosomes of rice using DNAs of cultivarsNipponbare (japonica) and Kasalath (indica) and of F2 populationgenerated by a single cross of these parents. Sixty random primers10 nucleotides long were used both singly and in random pairsand about 1,400 primer-pairs were tested. Using both agarosegel and polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis enabled us to detectpolymorphisms appearing in the range from <100 bp to 2 kb.The loci of the RAPD markers were determined onto the frameworkof our RFLP linkage map and some of these markers were mappedto regions with few markers. Out of the 102 RAPD markers, 20STSs (sequence-tagged sites) and STS-specific primer pairs weredetermined by cloning, identifying and sequencing of the mappedpolymorphic fragments.
