番茄LeRma1基因的克隆与表达

以番茄‘哈大粉801’为试材,利用RT-PCR技术,克隆得到1个E3泛素蛋白连接酶基因LeRma1（GenBank登录号XM_004243764.1）。对LeRma1基因进行序列分析,并对LeRma1基因在番茄植株的不同部位以及在非生物胁迫（干旱、盐、碱、高温、低温）下的表达和生理特性进行研究,为培育和改良番茄品种提供理论依据。结果表明：（1）序列分析显示,LeRma1基因的cDNA全长序列729 bp,编码242个氨基酸,分子量为27.05 kD,理论pI 7.97;同源分析显示,番茄LeRma1蛋白与马铃薯的一致性最高（91%）。（2）半定量PCR检测表明, LeRma1基因在番茄根、茎、叶、花、果实中均有表达,且表达差异不明显。（3）干旱胁迫下,LeRma1基因在番茄叶片中优势表达,而在整个干旱过程中根部的LeRma1基因表达量变化不明显;抗旱相关基因LEA、 DREB2A、ABI3在干旱胁迫过程中,番茄叶片中均有表达,且其表达量呈上升趋势,而在根部DREB2A、ABI3基因基本没有检测到。（4）干旱胁迫过程中,番茄植株中丙二醛（MDA）含量呈显著升高趋势,质膜系统严重损伤,体内保护酶（SOD、POD、CAT）活性上升,且根部活性总体明显高于叶片。（5）在非生物逆境（盐、碱、高温、低温）胁迫过程中,LeRma1基因在番茄叶片和根部的表达几乎都有增强的趋势,且在叶片中均是胁迫3 h后诱导起始增强表达。研究认为,LeRma1基因是一个受干旱胁迫诱导增强表达的基因,且在叶片中优势表达,说明LeRma1基因对植物耐受干旱胁迫所起的作用存在一定的组织差异性,而且LeRma1基因可能参与番茄的干旱应答及信号转导过程,在番茄抵抗其他非生物胁迫中LeRma1基因也可能具有一定的作用。

水稻OsMBF1c基因的克隆及表达分析

多蛋白桥联因子1(multi protein bridging factor 1, MBF1)在植物应对逆境胁迫中起着重要的作用,而对于水稻中MBF1是否参与重金属胁迫响应机制目前尚未见相关报道。为了揭示水稻MBF1家族与重金属胁迫的相关性及其潜在作用机制,该研究利用PCR技术克隆水稻OsMBF1c基因的全长编码序列,通过生物信息学对基因功能进行分析和预测,并通过实时荧光定量PCR(RT-qPCR)分析其在镉(Cd)胁迫下的表达特征。结果表明:(1)OsMBF1c的全长编码序列为468 bp,共编码155个氨基酸,相对分子量为16.154 kDa。(2)OsMBF1c与大麦TdMBF1a.1亲缘关系最近,具有光、厌氧等环境因子诱导相关的顺式调节元件。(3)重金属Cd可诱导OsMBF1c表达且在时间上和组织中的表达水平具有特异性,100 μmol·L^-1 Cd 处理1 h 后,地上部分OsMBF1c表达量明显上调,为对照组的7倍; 100 μmol·L^-1 Cd 胁迫处理6 h后,根部OsMBF1c表达量上调为对照组的3倍。该研究结果进一步完善了非生物胁迫下MBF1家族的生物学功能研究。     

马尾松PmPGK1和PmGPIC基因的克隆和表达分析

为了解马尾松（Pinus massoniana）磷酸甘油酸激酶1（PGK1）与胞质溶胶葡萄糖磷酸异构酶（GPIC）的功能，采用RACE技术克隆了PmPGK1和PmGPIC基因，并进行了生物信息学分析与亚细胞定位，采用实时荧光定量PCR技术分析PmPGK1和PmGPIC的表达特性。结果表明，PmPGK1和PmGPIC全长为2 106和1 848 bp，分别编码507和566个氨基酸。PmPGK1和PmGPIC分别定位于叶绿体和胞质溶胶。PmPGK1表达量为新叶 > 老叶 > 新茎 > 根 > 花；而PmGPIC为老叶 > 花 > 新叶 > 新茎 > 根。低温胁迫24 h，PmPGK1和PmGPIC的表达量均随时间延长先降低后升高，且PmGPIC的表达量在处理2 h后即降至较低水平；高浓度CO₂胁迫24 h，PmPGK1的表达量随时间延长呈降低-升高-再降低的变化趋势，PmGPIC的表达下调但变化较不显著。因此，推测PmPGK1主要参与卡尔文循环及叶绿体/质体糖酵解，PmGPIC主要参与细胞质基质糖酵解；PmPGK1、PmGPIC活性在低温胁迫下均受抑制；PmPGK1活性在CO₂胁迫下受到显著抑制，而PmGPIC活性的影响不大。

为深入研究人前列腺癌相关基因PC-1的生物功能和进化保守状况,从小鼠肾脏中克隆了全长cDNA序列,命名为mPC-1（GenBank Acc No.AY048852）.mPC-1基因cDNA全长为2 193 bp,主要定位于小鼠染色体3A1-A2区域.mPC-1基因最大开放阅读框编码的蛋白质由224个氨基酸组成,与人PC-1蛋白编码区存在82%的序列一致性,含有coiled-coil结构域和PEST结构域.生物信息学分析表明,由6个外显子组成的mPC-1基因与mD52高度同源,其中,第一外显子代表该基因的特异性序列,实验证据显示mPC-1基因具有自己的启动子,推测mPC-1与小鼠mD52可能是重叠基因.对小鼠20种组织器官和不同发育阶段的胚胎组织cDNA的RT-PCR检测证实,该基因主要在前列腺、肾和眼组织中表达,在胃和平滑肌中有少量表达,在其他组织中表达很弱或不表达.而mD52基因则几乎广泛存在于小鼠的各个组织器官中,因此,两个基因虽然序列上高度重叠却是独立调控的.综上所述,mPC-1基因可能是一个与人PC-1基因结构功能类似的新基因.

趋化信号转导基因cheA突变对Pseudomonas putida DLL-1甲基对硫磷的趋化性及原位降解的影响

Pseudomonas putida DLL-1是一株甲基对硫磷(MP)高效降解菌株,同时对MP具有趋化性。cheA基因是菌株趋化信号转导过程中负责编码组氨酸激酶的基因,为了研究菌株趋化性在农药原位降解中的作用,通过基因打靶的方式使P.putida DLL-1染色体上单拷贝的cheA基因失活,成功地获得了MP的趋化突变株P.putida DAK,突变株与野生菌株生长能力没有显著差异。通过土壤盆钵试验(MP浓度为50mg/kg),发现在灭菌与未灭菌土壤中趋化突变株对MP的降解能力低于原始出发菌株DLL-1约20%~30%,说明菌株DLL-1趋化性的丧失会减慢其对农药的降解,趋化性在农药的原位降解过程中发挥重要作用。

Genetic analysis of an Agrobacterium tumefaciens strain producing an agrocin active against biotype 3 pathogens

Summary The successful biocontrol agent for crown gall disease, Agrobacterium radiobacter strain K84, is unable to protect grapevines from infection. We have identified a strain of Agrobacterium tumefaciens, J73, which produces an agrocin active both in vitro and in vivo against grapevine pathogens (Webster et al. 1986). We now report on the curing of this strain of its nopaline-type Ti plasmid and the location, by transposon mutagenesis, of the genes involved in the production of the agrocin. The Ti plasmid was cured by the introduction of selectable plasmids carrying the origins of replication of either the nopaline Ti plasmid, pTiC58, or the octopine Ti plasmid, pTi15955. Tn5 mutagenesis indicated that the genes responsible for agrocin production and/or export are located both on the chromosome and on a plasmid, pAgJ73, which co-migrated in agarose gels with pTiJ73. As the two plasmids were separable after transposon mutagenesis, we postulate that during or after mutagenesis of the agrocin plasmid, DNA rearrangements occurred between it and pTiJ73, resulting in an increase in size of pAgJ73. We provide evidence that the rearrangements involved the duplication of nopaline catabolism genes from pTiJ73 and their insertion into pAgJ73, which facilitated the resolution of the two plasmids. As expected pTiJ73 has homology with the nopaline Ti plasmid, pTiC58.     

根癌农杆菌介导真菌遗传转化的研究及应用

Klebsiella pneumoniae nif-lac fusions are expressed in Agrobacterium tumefaciens C58

Summary Plasmids containing hybrid genes, in which different Klebsiella pneumoniae nif (nitrogen-fixation) promoters were fused with the structural part of the Escherichia coli lac operon, were introduced into a double auxotrophic derivative of Agrobacterium tumefaciens C58. A study of their expression in the new host was made simple by the inherent inability of A. tumefaciens C58 to produce -galactosidase unless provided with the wild-type lac operon of E. coli. As shown by quantitative measurements of the enzyme, all K. pneumoniae promoters were expressed well in A. tumefaciens C58, even under conditions known to repress them. It also has been shown that the activity of K. pneumoniae nif A is essential for the expression of nifHDK even when introduced into A. tumefaciens. After entering the new host the plasmids, the nif genes and the fusion alleles contained in them, remained stable. Possible mechanisms responsible for the constitutive behaviour of nif promoters in A. tumefaciens are discussed.     

Cloning and characterisation of the recA gene of Agrobacterium tumefaciens C58

Summary A gene library of Agrobacterium tumefaciens C58 has been constructed in the plasmid vector pACYC184. A recombinant plasmid was isolated from the library by interspecific complementation in E. coli, which contained the A. tumefaciens recA gene. Heterologous Southern blotting and DNA sequence analysis have demonstrated the existence of considerable homology between the recA genes of A. tumefaciens, E. coli and R. meliloti.Abbreviations MMS methyl methanesulfonate - UV ultraviolet light - bp base pairs - kbp kilo base pairs - dATP deoxyadenosine 5-triphosphate - dNTP deoxynucleoside triphosphate - Ap ampicillin - Cm chloramphenicol - Km kanamycin - Tet tetracycline     

T-DNA structure and gene expression in petunia plants transformed by Agrobacterium tumefaciens C58 derivatives

Summary We have previously described substantial variation in the level of expression of two linked genes which were introduced into transgenic petunia plants using Agrobacterium tumefaciens. These genes were (i) nopaline synthase (nos) and (ii) a chimeric chlorophyll a/b binding protein/octopine synthase (cab/ocs) gene. In this report we analyze the relationship between the level of expression of the introduced genes and T-DNA structure and copy number in 40 transgenic petunia plants derived from 26 transformed calli. Multiple shoots were regenerated from 8 of these calli and in only 6 cases were multiple regenerated shoots from each callus genotypically identical to each other. Many genotypes showed no nos gene expression (22/28). Most of the plants (16/22) which lacked nos gene expression did contain nos-encoding DNA with the expected restriction enzyme map. Similarly, amongst the genotypes showing no cab/ocs gene expression, the majority (11/28) did not show any alterations in restriction fragments corresponding to the expected cab/ocs coding sequences (10/11). Approximately half of the plants carried multiple copies of T-DNA in inverted repeats about the left or right T-DNA boundaries. No positive correlation was observed between the copy number of the introduced DNA and the level of expression of the introduced genes. However, plants with high copy number complex insertions composed of multiple inverted repeats in linear arrays usually showed low levels of expression of the introduced genes.     

Mapping and genetic organization of pTiChry5, a novel Ti plasmid from a highly virulent Agrobacterium tumefaciens strain

Agrobacterium tumefaciens Chry5, a wild-type strain originally isolated from chrysanthemum, is unusually tumorigenic, particularly on soybean. We have mapped the Chry5 Ti plasmid by genomic walking and restriction endonuclease analysis, and have located its virulence, T-DNA, plasmid incompatibility, and l,l-succinamopine utilization loci. Southern analysis has revealed that about 85% of the Chry5 Ti plasmid is highly homologous to another Ti plasmid, pTiBo542. Although all the functions that we have located on pTiChry5 are encoded by pTiBo542-homologous regions, the two Ti plasmids differ in their genetic organization. The overall patterns of restriction sites in the plasmids also differ, with the exception of an approximately 12 kb segment of the virulence region, where the BamHI sites appear to be conserved. Complementation analysis has shown that deletion of a DNA segment which flanks the oncogenic T-DNA results in severe attenuation of virulence. This region also contains a sequence that is repeated in the Chry5 genome outside the Ti plasmid, and that is widely distributed in the Rhizobiaceae.
