Transgenic Rice Plants Expressing the Antifungal AFP Protein from Aspergillus Giganteus Show Enhanced Resistance to the Rice Blast Fungus Magnaporthe Grisea

The Aspergillus giganteus antifungal protein (AFP), encoded by the afp gene, has been reported to possess in vitro antifungal activity against various economically important fungal pathogens, including the rice blast fungus Magnaporthe grisea. In this study, transgenic rice ( Oryza sativa ) constitutively expressing the afp gene was generated by Agrobacterium -mediated transformation. Two different DNA constructs containing either the afp cDNA sequence from Aspergillus or a chemically synthesized codon-optimized afp gene were introduced into rice plants. In both cases, the DNA region encoding the signal sequence from the tobacco AP24 gene was N-terminally fused to the coding sequence of the mature AFP protein. Transgenic rice plants showed stable integration and inheritance of the transgene. No effect on plant morphology was observed in the afp -expressing rice lines. The inhibitory activity of protein extracts prepared from leaves of afp plants on the in vitro growth of M. grisea indicated that the AFP protein produced by the trangenic rice plants was biologically active. Several of the T(2) homozygous afp lines were challenged with M. grisea in a detached leaf infection assay. Transformants exhibited resistance to rice blast at various levels. Altogether, the results presented here indicate that AFP can be functionally expressed in rice plants for protection against the rice blast fungus M. grisea.     

草菇Vvrin1基因RNAi转化子的筛选及其转录组分析

草菇味道鲜美,食用价值高,是我国主要栽培的商业食用菌之一。MADS-box转录因子对真核生物的生长发育和信号传导具有关键性的调控作用。本研究通过农杆菌介导的方法获得5个草菇MADS-box转录因子Vvrin1基因的RNA干扰转化子,并进一步对转化子的表型进行分析,发现5个转化子菌丝在PDA固体培养基和栽培料中的生长速度均显著小于（P<0.05）转化野生型菌株H1521,且转化子菌丝颜色呈黄白色,较粗,较稀疏。出菇实验发现,RNA干扰转化子生长停滞在菌丝阶段未能形成原基出菇。转化子菌丝阶段的转录组测序数据发现,上调基因主要富集在核糖体、氨基酸生物合成和次生代谢物的生物合成等途径;下调基因主要富集在MAPK信号通路、脂肪酸氧化、磷脂酰肌醇信号系统等途径。进一步推测MADS-box转录因子Vvrin1基因表达水平降低会影响MAPK信号通路和磷脂酰肌醇信号通路的表达,进而降低菌丝生长速度,影响原基形成。

Inactivation of the alpha-actinin gene in Dictyostelium

alpha-Actinin-negative transformants of Dictyostelium have been obtained by transforming cells with a transformation vector carrying part of the alpha-actinin gene in either sense or antisense orientation. The transformants did not produce detectable alpha-actinin anymore and contained an altered RNA lacking the 3' part of the coding sequences. The deficiency in alpha-actinin was due to an integration of the transformation vector into the gene, since it could be detected by Southern blot analysis in the endogenous gene.     

Agrobacterium tumefaciens-mediated genetic transformation of the entomopathogenic fungus Beauveria bassiana

Agrobacterium tumefaciens-mediated transformation (agro-transformation) was successfully applied to the entomogenous fungus Beauveria bassiana. Conidia of B. bassiana were transformed to hygromycin B resistance using the hph gene of Escherichia coli as the selective trait, under the control of a heterologous fungal promoter and the Aspergillus nidulans trpC terminator. The efficiency of transformation was up to 28 and 96 transformants per 10(4) and 10(5) target conidia, respectively, using three distinct vectors. High mitotic stability of the transformants (80-100%) was demonstrated after five successive transfers on a nonselective medium. Abortive transformants were observed for all the hph(r) vectors used. Putative transformants were analysed for the presence of the hph gene by PCR and Southern analysis. The latter analysis revealed the integration of two or more copies of the hph gene in the genome. The agro-transformation method was found to be effective for the isolation of B. bassiana hygromycin resistant transformants and may represent a useful tool for insertional mutagenesis studies in this fungus.

Gene transfer in Cryptococcus neoformans by use of biolistic delivery of DNA.

A transformation scheme for Cryptococcus neoformans to yield high-frequency, integrative events was developed. Adenine auxotrophs from a clinical isolate of C. neoformans serotype A were complemented by the cryptococcal phosphoribosylaminoimidazole carboxylase gene (ade2) with a biolistic DNA delivery system. Comparison of two DNA delivery systems (electroporation versus a biolistic system) showed notable differences. The biolistic system did not require linear vectors and transformed each auxotrophic strain at similar frequencies. Examination of randomly selected transformants by biolistics showed that 15 to 40% were stable, depending on the recipient auxotroph, with integrative events identified in all stable transformants by DNA analysis. Although the ade2 cDNA copy transformed at a low frequency, DNA analysis found homologous recombination in each of these transformants. DNA analysis of stable transformants receiving genomic ade2 revealed ectopic integration in a majority of cases, but approximately a quarter of the transformants showed homologous recombination with vector integration or gene replacement. This system has the potential for targeted gene disruption, and its efficiency will also allow for screening of DNA libraries within C. neoformans. Further molecular strategies to study the pathobiology of this pathogenic yeast are now possible with this transformation system.

Recombinational inactivation of the gene encoding nitrate reductase in Aspergillus parasiticus.

Functional disruption of the gene encoding nitrate reductase (niaD) in Aspergillus parasiticus was conducted by two strategies, one-step gene replacement and the integrative disruption. Plasmid pPN-1, in which an internal DNA fragment of the niaD gene was replaced by a functional gene encoding orotidine monophosphate decarboxylase (pyrG), was constructed. Plasmid pPN-1 was introduced in linear form into A. parasiticus CS10 (ver-1 wh-1 pyrG) by transformation. Approximately 25% of the uridine prototrophic transformants (pyrG+) were chlorate resistant (Chlr), demonstrating their inability to utilize nitrate as a sole nitrogen source. The genetic block in nitrate utilization was confirmed to occur in the niaD gene by the absence of growth of the A. parasiticus CS10 transformants on medium containing nitrate as the sole nitrogen source and the ability to grow on several alternative nitrogen sources. Southern hybridization analysis of Chlr transformants demonstrated that the resident niaD locus was replaced by the nonfunctional allele in pPN-1. To generate an integrative disruption vector (pSKPYRG), an internal fragment of the niaD gene was subcloned into a plasmid containing the pyrG gene as a selectable marker. Circular pSKPYRG was transformed into A. parasiticus CS10. Chlr pyrG+ transformants were screened for nitrate utilization and by Southern hybridization analysis. Integrative disruption of the genomic niaD gene occurred in less than 2% of the transformants. Three gene replacement disruption transformants and two integrative disruption transformants were tested for mitotic stability after growth under nonselective conditions. All five transformants were found to stably retain the Chlr phenotype after growth on nonselective medium.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)     

草菇不同菌株木聚糖酶xyn基因的表达及其酶活性分析

木聚糖酶是半纤维素酶系的重要组成部分,能够分解水稻、小麦等农作物秸秆中的半纤维素。研究探讨木聚糖酶相关基因及其功能,为进一步探讨木聚糖酶与草菇生物转化率之间的关系提供理论依据。首先通过生物信息学手段构建了草菇2个木聚糖酶基因xyn1和xynII编码氨基酸序列的系统进化树,然后从生物转化率不同的草菇菌株分别提取各自的RNA,反转录为cDNA后,采用实时荧光定量PCR技术分析了xyn1和xynII基因的转录表达情况;最后应用DNS法对这些菌株中的木聚糖酶活性进行了测定。研究结果表明,xyn1编码的氨基酸序列与草腐菌相似性较高,而xynII编码的氨基酸序列与木腐菌遗传差异较小。在木聚糖酶活性测定和实时荧光定量PCR结果中,不同菌株的木聚糖酶活性趋势与xynII的转录表达趋势相似,均呈现依次递减。草菇的木聚糖酶活性与其生物转化率之间存在正相关性,推测草菇不同菌株木聚糖酶活性差异可能表现在转录水平上的差异。     

Improvement on genetic transformation in the nematode-trapping fungus Arthrobotrys oligospora and its quantification on dung samples

An improved DNA-mediated transformation system for nematode-trapping fungus Arthrobotrys oligospora based on hygromycin B resistance was developed. The transformation frequency varied between 34 and 175 transformants per μg linearized DNA and 93% of the transformants were stable for drug resistance when tested 100 randomly selected transformants. More than 2000 transformants were obtained by transformation of the fungus with pBChygro in the presence of HindIII and among them, one, YMF1.00110, which lost its ability of forming predacious structure, was isolated. Southern analysis showed that the plasmid DNA had integrated into the genome of all tested transformants (including YMF 1.00110) except one. The transformant tagged with hph gene could be re-isolated and quantified from dung samples based on the resistance of hygromycin B. All the results suggested that the method of restriction enzyme mediated integration (REMI) should facilitate not only the insertional mutagenesis for tagging and analysis genes of interest but also the ecological investigation of tagged fungi in a given environment.     

根癌农杆菌介导的增强型绿色荧光蛋白基因在淡紫拟青霉中的转化

为了实现增强型绿色荧光蛋白基因 (egfp) 在生防真菌淡紫拟青霉9410菌株中的转化,借助中间质粒pcDNA3.1(-) 构建nptⅡ-egfp融合基因的表达载体pUPNGT,然后采用根癌农杆菌介导的转化法将egfp基因转化到淡紫拟青霉9410菌株中。PCR检测和Southern blotting分析结果表明,egfp基因以单拷贝形式整合到淡紫拟青霉9410的基因组中。荧光显微镜观察结果显示,转化子在488 nm下能产生绿色荧光。这些结果说明egfp基因已成功转化至淡紫拟青霉9410菌株并获得表达。这些工作可为淡紫拟青霉在不同条件下的防效评价、环境安全评价等提供新的途径和方法。     

Transformation of Metarhizium anisopliae mediated by Agrobacterium tumefaciens

A simple, highly efficient, and reliable Agrobacterium tumefaciens-mediated transformation method was developed for the insect pathogenic fungus Metarhizium anisopliae. Expression of the green fluorescent protein gene, egfp, and the benomyl resistance gene, benA3, were used as markers in transformed M. anisopliae. Transformation efficiencies were dependent on the strain of A. tumefaciens used. With strain AGL-1, 17.0 +/- 1.4 transformants per plate could be obtained using conidial concentrations of 10(6) conidia/mL and a 2 day co-cultivation in the presence of 200 micromol/L acetosyringone. On the other hand, transformations using strain LBA4404 were unsuccessful. Ten transformants were tested by Southern analysis and found to contain a single copy T-DNA. Twenty transformants were subcultured for five generations on nonselective media, and 95% of the transformants were mitotically stable. Agrobacterium tumefaciens-mediated transformation of M. anisopliae can serve as a useful tool to investigate genes involved in insect pathogenicity.     

Integrative Transformation of Aspergillus oryzae with a Plasmid Containing the Aspergillus nidulans argB Gene

The transformation of Aspergillus oryzae has been achieved with a plasmid carrying the Aspergillus nidulans argB gene coding for ornithine carbamoyltransferase (OCTase). The frequency of transformation was relatively low (0.7 transformants/μg DNA) but the transformed phenotype was extremely stable for many generations without selective pressure.

Southern blot analysis revealed that transformation had occurred by integration of multiple tandem copies of plasmid DNA into the host genome through non-homologous recombination. There was no evidence of the existence of free plasmid in the transformants. The number of integrated copies of the plasmid ranged from 15 to 60. The specific activity of OCTase in the cell- free extract was proportional to the copy number of the plasmid, indicating that most of the integrated argB gene was expressed.
