Mesorhizobium huakuii strain 7653R harbored two indigenous plasmids named pMH7653Ra and pMH7653Rb.The larger plasmid pMH7653Rb (symbiotic plasmid) was transferred to M.huakuii HN308SR harboring three plasmids: pMHHN308a,pMHHN308b and pMHHN308c,and HN3015SR harboring three plasmids: pMHHN3015a,pMHHN3015b and pMHHN3015c by tri-parent mating.Two stable indigenous plasmids,pMHHN308b and pMHHN308c of HN308SR,were co-eliminated due to the introduction of pMH7653Rb,and the transconjugant was named HN308SRN14.The results implied that pMH7653Rb and pMHHN308b,pMHHN308c were incompatible and might have been ascribed to the same incompatible group.The plasmid profiles of transconjugant HN3015SRN14 showed that the second largest plasmid pMHHN3015b of HN3015SR was cured due to the introduction of pMH7653Rb.The results also implied that pMH7653Rb and pMHHN3015b were incompatible.Results from plant nodulation tests showed that pMH7653Rb could only maintain the nodulation ability in transconjugant HN308SRN14 and its nodule number was more than that of wild strain HN308SR,but could not replace the nitrogen fixation effect of pMHHN308b and pMHHN308c.The plasmid cured mutant HN308SRN14D harboring only pMHHN308a formed null nodules that demonstrated pMHHN308a was relevant to nodulation ability.HN3015SRN14 harboring pMH7653Rb,pMHHN3015a and pMHHN3015c formed null nodules while HN3015SRN14D containing pMHHN3015a and pMHHN3015c lost the nodulation ability.The plasmid replication repC-like gene sequences were detected by a polymerase chain reaction from 7653R,HN308,HN3015,HN308SRN14 and HN3015SRN14.The repC gene sequence similarities of the strains tested attained 99%. 相似文献

A Mesorhizobium huakuii strain HN3015 was isolated from Astragalus sinicus in a rice-growing field of Southern China. Strain HN3015 contained three large plasmids. The three indigenous plasmids, named
as pMhHN3015a, pMhHN3015b and pMhHN3015c of M. huakuii HN3015, were, respectively, cured by Tn5-sacB insertion. The mutant strain HN3015-1 cured with its largest plasmid pMhHN3015c formed only white null nodules. Mutant HN3015-3
cured with its smallest plasmid pMhHN3015a could form pink effective nodules. However, mutant HN3015-2 cured of the second
largest plasmid pMhHN3015b lost nodulation ability. Furthermore, curing of pMhHN3015a had enhanced competitive nodulation
ability and symbiotic efficiency of HN3015-3. The results from acidity tolerance assays indicated that the three plasmids
in M. huakuii HN3015 had a positive control effect on acidity tolerance of HN3015, and all indigenous plasmids of M. huakuii HN3015 had a negative control effect on the alkali tolerance capacity of HN3015. Surprisingly, all plasmids in M. huakuii HN3015 had also a negative control effect on its growth rate. The results showed an interactive and functional complexity
of plasmids in strain HN3015. 相似文献

华癸中生根瘤菌(Mesorhizobium huakuii)7653R是分离自我国南方水稻田的一株根瘤菌,含有2个内源质粒:p7653Ra和p7653Rb,其中7653Rb是共生质粒.通过Tn5-sacB的插入方法来消除质粒,获得7653Rb消除的突变株7653RD.将豌豆根瘤菌T83K3的共生质粒pJB5JI导入7653R和7653RD中,盆栽结果表明含有pJB5JI的转移接合子7653R-197的竞争结瘤能力和共生固氮能力均高于7653R.pJB5JI不能恢复7653RD在紫云英上的结瘤能力.含有pJB5JI的7653RD可以在豌豆上结无效瘤,表明pJB5JI可以在7653R的染色体背景下表达其功能.对转移接合子中的质粒稳定性进行检测,结果表明pJB5JI在人工传代的情况下可以稳定存在,但经过共生之后发生了遗传分离,对转移接合子和出发菌株及分离菌株进行kan基因的PCR扩增,除了受体菌外其他菌株都可得到PCR产物,由此推测,pJB5JI可能部分或全部整合到了受体菌的染色体基因组中. 相似文献

The Tn5-sacB-labeled symbiotic megaplasmid pMhHN3015c of Mesorhizobium huakuii HN3015 was, respectively, transferred into M. huakuii HN308SR containing three large plasmids of pMhHN308a, pMhHN308b and pMhHN308c, and 7653R-1SR, a symbiotic plasmid pMh7653Rb
deleted mutant from M. huakuii 7653R by tri-parent mating. The stable indigenous plasmid pMhHN308c of HN308SR was cured by the introduction of pMhHN3015c
and the transconjugant was named as HN308SRN18. The results implied that pMhHN3015c and pMhHN308c were incompatible and might
be ascribed to the same incompatibility group. Furthermore, the results from plasmid curing tests of HN308SRN18 containing
pMhHN3015c, pMhHN308b, and pMhHN308a showed that not only was pMhHN3015c deleted, but that pMhHN308a was also cured simultaneously.
The plasmid profiles of transconjugant 7653R-1SRN18 showed pMhHN3015c could coexist with pMh7563Ra. The plasmid replication
repC-like gene sequences were detected by polymerase chain reaction from 7653R-1SRN18, HN308SRN18 and its plasmid-curing derivatives,
but failed to detect from plasmid-curing derivatives of 7653R-1SRN18. The repC gene sequence similarities of strains tested were up to 99%. Results from plant nodulation tests showed that introduction
of pMhHN3015c failed to restore the nitrogen fixation ability of HN308SRN18 and 7653R-1SRN18. 相似文献

A Mesorhizobium huakuii strain 2020, isolated from a rice-growing field in southern China, contains three indigenous plasmids named p2020a, p2020b and p2020c, respectively. The plasmids were deleted via Tn5-sacB insertion, and two cured derivatives were obtained. Interestingly, the mutant 2020D29 curing of p2020c could significantly enhance the capacity of symbiotic nitrogen fixation. But the mutant 2020D8 curing of p2020b lost the ability to nodulate Astragalus sinicus. Furthermore, the third plasmid p2020a could be hardly eliminated, suggesting that some house-keeping genes necessary for strain growth located on this plasmid. Then the Sym plasmid pJB5JI of R. leguminosarum bv. viciae was transferred into 2020 and its cured derivatives. The pot plant test showed that the ability of competition and symbiotic nitrogen fixation of transconjugant 2020-137 (pJB5JI) was increased evidently in con-trast to 2020. pJB5JI could not restore the ability of 2020D8 to nodulate Astragalus sinicus. 2020D8-8 (pJB5JI) could form ineffective nodules on peas, which implied that the symbiotic plasmid pJB5JI could express its function at the chromosomal background of Mesorhizobium huakuii 2020. The plas-mid stability was checked in transconjugants under free-living and during symbiosis. The results indi-cated that pJB5JI failed to be detected in some nodule isolates. That Km resistance gene could be am-plified from all transconjugants and nodule isolates suggested that pJB5JI was fully or partially inte-grated into the chromosome of recipients. 相似文献

Quorum-sensing is widespread among many prokaryotic lineages. In order to investigate quorum regulation in the plant bacterium Mesorhizobium huakuii which produces an N-acyl homoserine lactone (AHL) quorum signal, the Agrobacterium quorum-sensing regulator TraR was heterologously expressed in this bacterium. The resulting strains showed reduced AHL production in the supernatant compared to wild-type, but similar intracellular levels of AHLs were detected, suggesting that M. huakuii AHLs can be bound to intracellular TraR proteins and thus become unavailable for its own quorum systems. M. huakuii overexpressing TraR formed thinner biofilms than the wild-type, suggesting a role played by quorum-sensing in biofilm formation.Hui Wang and Zengtao Zhong contributed equally to this work. 相似文献

Plant secondary metabolites, particularly flavonoids, are key components in the early stages of nitrogen-fixing symbiosis. Despite their importance, the endogenous secondary metabolites involved in symbiosis have not yet been identified in the model legume Lotus japonicus. We therefore determined changes in the secondary metabolic profile of Lotus japonicus roots in response to its symbiont. Analysis of the root secondary metabolite profiles 1 week after inoculation with Mesorhizobium loti revealed quantitative changes in the level of 14 phenolic peaks when compared with non-inoculated control plants. These changes affected compounds from most phenolic classes, possibly resulting from interconversion between classes since the total phenolic level remained constant. In addition, the use of 2 M. loti strains differing only in their capacity to synthesise Nod factor revealed that, although Nod factor signalling induced accumulation of a specific subset of 4 phenolic peaks, most changes were induced in response to both rhizobial strains. 相似文献

Introduction
SPARC is a matricellular protein, which, along with other extracellular matrix components including collagens, is commonly over-expressed in fibrotic diseases. The purpose of this study was to examine whether inhibition of SPARC can regulate collagen expression in vitro and in vivo, and subsequently attenuate fibrotic stimulation by bleomycin in mouse skin and lungs. 相似文献10.

Interaction of Bdellovibrio bacteriovorus 100NCJB with bacteria Campylobacter jejuni (strains 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5) and Helicobacter pylori, strain TX30a, was confirmed. The results indicate that lytic activity of bdellovibrios both in liquid media and cells attached to a surface was observed. The potential use of the antimicrobial activity of predatory bacteria for environmental bioprotection and public health is discussed. 相似文献

Background
The Class II DNA transposons are mobile genetic elements that move DNA sequence from one position in the genome to another. We have previously demonstrated that the naturally occurring Tol2 element from Oryzias latipes efficiently integrates its corresponding non-autonomous transposable element into the genome of the diploid frog, Xenopus tropicalis. Tol2 transposons are stable in the frog genome and are transmitted to the offspring at the expected Mendelian frequency. 相似文献13.

LuxR/LuxI-type quorum-sensing systems have been shown to be important for symbiotic interactions between a number of rhizobium
species and host legumes. In this study, we found that different isolates of Mesorhizobium tianshanense, a moderately-growing Rhizobium that forms nodules on a number of types of licorice plants, produces several different N-acyl homoserine lactone-like molecules. In M. tianshanense CCBAU060A, we performed a genetic screen and identified a network of regulatory components including a set of LuxI/LuxR-family
regulators as well as a MarR-family regulator that is required for quorum-sensing regulation. Furthermore, compared with the
wild-type strains, quorum-sensing deficient mutants showed a reduced growth rate and were defective in nodule formation on
their host plant Glycyrrhiza uralensis. These data suggest that different M. tianshanense strains may use diverse quorum-sensing systems to regulate symbiotic process.

Control of pyrimidine formation was examined in Pseudomonas fulva ATCC 31418. Pyrimidine supplementation lowered pyrimidine biosynthetic pathway enzyme activities in cells grown on glucose or succinate as a carbon source indicating possible repression of enzyme synthesis. Pyrimidine limitation experiments were conducted using an orotidine 5′-monophosphate decarboxylase mutant strain isolated in this study. Compared to uracil-supplemented, glucose-grown mutant cells, pyrimidine limitation of this strain caused aspartate transcarbamoylase, dihydroorotase, dihydroorotate dehydrogenase and orotate phosphoribosyltransferase activities to increase about 6-, 13-, 3-, 15-fold, respectively, which confirmed regulation of enzyme synthesis by pyrimidines. At the level of enzyme activity, transcarbamoylase activity in Ps. fulva was strongly inhibited by pyrophosphate, CTP, GTP and GDP under saturating substrate concentrations. 相似文献

A protocol for in vitro induction of crape myrtle tetraploids using nodes from in vitro-grown shoots (2n = 48) was established. Nodal buds were excised from in vitro-grown shoots, maintained on proliferation medium containing Murashige and Skoog medium supplemented with 4.44 μM 6-benzyladenine , 0.54 μM α-naphthaleneacetic acid, and treated with a range of concentrations of colchicine under three different conditions. Nodal bud explants treated in liquid proliferation medium supplemented with either 15 or 20 mM colchicine for 24 h turned necrotic and died; whereas, those cultured on solid proliferation medium supplemented with either 125 or 250 μM colchicine for 30 days survived, but no tetraploid plants were obtained. However, when explants were cultured in liquid proliferation medium containing 250, 500 or 750 μM colchicine for 10 days, tetraploid plants (2n = 96) were obtained. Incubation of explants in medium containing 750 μM colchicine promoted the highest frequency of survival (40%) of explants and of recovered tetraploids (60%). Morphological and anatomical characteristics of leaves, including leaf index, stomata size and number, stomata index (length/width), and number of chloroplasts in guard cells correlated with ploidy of crape myrtle plants. The number of chloroplasts in guard cells of stomata was a stable and reliable marker in discriminating plants of different ploidy levels. Chromosome counts and flow cytometry confirmed these findings. 相似文献

Nanobodies (or VHHs) are single-domain antigen-binding fragments derived from Camelid heavy chain-only antibodies. Their small size, monomeric behaviour, high stability and solubility, and ability to bind epitopes not accessible to conventional antibodies make them especially suitable for many therapeutic and biotechnological applications. Here we describe high-level expression, in Nicotiana benthamiana, of three versions of an anti-hen egg white lysozyme (HEWL) nanobody which include the original VHH from an immunized library (cAbLys3), a codon-optimized derivative, and a codon-optimized hybrid nanobody comprising the CDRs of cAbLys3 grafted onto an alternative ‘universal’ nanobody framework. His6- and StrepII-tagged derivatives of each nanobody were targeted for accumulation in the cytoplasm, chloroplast and apoplast using different pre-sequences. When targeted to the apoplast, intact functional nanobodies accumulated at an exceptionally high level (up to 30% total leaf protein), demonstrating the great potential of plants as a nanobody production system. 相似文献

Columba livia is an important reservoir and carrier of Cryptococcus neoformans, Cryptococcus uniguttulatus, Cryptococcus laurentii and Cryptococcus albidus. Upper digestive tract of this species is also known as a habitat for Cryptococcus neoformans. Given the increasing clinical interest of this microorganism, 331 swabs from crop and 174 dropping samples from pigeon lofts in Grand Canary Island have been studied. The obtained results show an extensive presence samples 81 positive (24.47%) of Cryptococcus spp. in analysed crops: 32 (9.66%) for C. neoformans, 24 (7.2%) for C. uniguttulatus, 23 (6.9%) for C. albidus and 2 (0.6%) for C. laurentii. In the same way, Cryptococcus spp was also isolated in 82 (47.13%), dropping samples: C. neoformans in 59 (33.9%), C. uniguttulatus, in 9 (5.17%), C. laurentii in 8 (4.59%) and C. albidus in 6 (3.44%) of the investigated samples, respectively. The cryptococcosis produced by species of cryptococci other than C. neoformans has become more important during the last decade, supporting the study on the role of pigeon in the epidemiology of this disease. 相似文献
