Root segments from seedlings of Panax ginseng produced adventitious roots directly when cultured on 1/2 MS solid medium lacking NH4NO3 and containing 3.0 mg l−1 IBA. Using this adventitious root formation, we developed rapid and efficient transgenic root formation directly from adventitious
root segments in P. ginseng. Root segments were co-cultivated with Agrobacterium tumefaciens (GV3101) caring β-glucuronidase (GUS) gene. Putative transgenic adventitious roots were formed directly from root segments on medium with 400 mg l−1 cefotaxime and 50 mg l−1 kanamycin. Kanamycin resistant adventitious roots were selected and proliferated as individual lines by subculturing on medium
with 300 mg l−1 cefotaxime and 50 mg l−1 kanamycin at two weeks subculture interval. Frequency of transient and stable expression of GUS gene was enhanced by acetosyringon (50 mg l−1) treatment. Integration of transgene into the plants was confirmed by the X-gluc reaction, PCR and Southern analysis. Production
of transgenic plants was achieved via somatic embryogenesis from the embryogenic callus derived from independent lines of
adventitious roots. The protocol for rapid induction of transgenic adventitious roots directly from adventitious roots can
be applied for a new Agrobacterium tumefaciens-mediated genetic transformation protocol in P. ginseng. 相似文献

The lipase Lip2 of the edible basidiomycete, Pleurotus sapidus, is an extracellular enzyme capable of hydrolysing xanthophyll esters with high efficiency. The gene encoding Lip2 was expressed
in Escherichia coli TOP10 using the gene III signal sequence to accumulate proteins in the periplasmatic space. The heterologous expression under
control of the araBAD promoter led to the high level production of recombinant protein, mainly as inclusion bodies, but partially
in a soluble and active form. A fusion with a C-terminal His tag was used for purification and immunochemical detection of
the target protein. This is the first example of a heterologous expression and periplasmatic accumulation of a catalytically
active lipase from a basidiomycete fungus. 相似文献

Two chimeric genes, XynA-Bs-Glu-1 and XynA-Bs-Glu-2, encoding Aspergillus sulphureus β-xylanase (XynA, 26 kDa) and Bacillus subtilis β-1,3-1,4-glucanase (Bs-Glu, 30 kDa), were constructed via in-fusion by different linkers and expressed successfully in Pichia pastoris. The fusion protein (50 kDa) exhibited both β-xylanase and β-1,3-1,4-glucanase activities. Compared with parental enzymes, the moiety activities were decreased in fermentation supernatants. Parental XynA and Bs-Glu were superior to corresponding moieties in each fusion enzymes because of lower Kn higher kcat. Despite some variations, common optima were generally 50°C and pH 3.4 for the XynA moiety and parent, and 40°C and pH 6.4 for the Bs-Glu counterparts. Thus, the fusion enzyme XynA-Bs-Glu-1 and XynA-Bs-Glu-2 were bifunctional. 相似文献

Functional expression of heterologous Pseudozyma antarctica lipase B (PalB) in the periplasm of Escherichia coli was explored using four fusion tags, i.e. DsbC, DsbA, maltose-binding protein (MBP), and FLAG in the sequence of increasing
expression efficacy. Amongst these fusion tags, FLAG and MBP appear to be the most effective ones in terms of boosting enzyme
activity and enhancing solubility of PalB, respectively. Overexpression of these PalB fusions often resulted in concomitant
formation of insoluble inclusion bodies. Coexpression of a selection of periplasmic folding factors, including DegP (and its
mutant variant of DegPS210A), FkpA, DsbA, DsbC, and a cocktail of SurA, FkpA, DsbA, and DsbC, could improve the expression performance. Coexpression
of DsbA appeared to be the most effective in reducing the formation of inclusion bodies for all the four PalB fusions, implying
that functional expression of PalB could be limited by initial bridging of disulfide bonds. Culture performance was optimized
by overexpressing FLAG-PalB with DsbA coexpression, resulting in a high volumetric PalB activity of 360 U/L. 相似文献

We studied heterologous expression of xylanase 11A gene of Chaetomium thermophilum in Pichia pastoris and characterized the thermostable nature of the purified gene product. For this purpose, the xylanase 11A gene of C. thermophilum was cloned in P. pastoris GS115 under the control of AOX1 promoter. The maximum extracellular activity of recombinant xylanase (xyn698: gene with intron) was 15.6 U ml−1 while that of recombinant without intron (xyn669) was 1.26 U ml−1 after 96 h growth. The gene product was purified apparently to homogeneity level. The optimum temperature of pure recombinant
xylanase activity was 70°C and the enzyme retained its 40.57% activity after incubation at 80°C for 10 min. It exhibited quite
lower demand of activation energy, enthalpy, Gibbs free energy, entropy, and xylan binding energy during substrate hydrolysis
than that required by that of the donor, thus indicating its thermostable nature. pH-dependent catalysis showed that it was
quite stable in a pH range of 5.5–8.5. This revealed that gene was successfully processed in P. pastoris and remained heat stable and may qualify for its potential use in paper and pulp and animal feed applications. 相似文献

β-1,3-1,4-Glucanase has been broadly used in feed and brewing industries. According to the codon bias of Pichia pastoris, the Bacillus subtilis MA139 β-1,3-1,4-glucanase gene was de novo synthesized and expressed in P. pastoris X-33 strain under the control of the alcohol oxidase 1 promoter. In a 10-L fermentor, the β-1,3-1,4-glucanase was overexpressed with a yield of 15,000 U/mL by methanol induction for 96 h. The recombinant β-1,3-1,4-glucanase exhibited optimal activity at 40°C and pH 6.4. The activity of the recombinant β-1,3-1,4-glucanase was not significantly affected by various metal ions and chemical reagents. To our knowledge, the expression
of this β-1,3-1,4-glucanase from Bacillus sp. in P. pastoris is in relatively high level compared to previous reports. These biochemical characteristics suggest that the recombinant
β-1,3-1,4-glucanase has a prospective application in feed and brewing industries. 相似文献

α-amy gene amplified from barley genome was cloned into MCS of pGAP9K to generate pGAP9K-α-amy which was then transformed
into Pichia pastoris GS115 by electroporation. Transformants with multi-copies and high expression for the foreign gene were selected on G418
containing plate and expression analysis. The fermentation was carried out in a 50 l bioreactor with 20 l working volume,
using a high-density cell culture method by continuously feeding with 50% glycerol-0.8% PTM4 to the growing culture for 54 h
at 30°C. Under the control of GAP promoter (pGAP), α-amy gene was constitutively expressed. At the end of the fermentation,
the α-AMY expression reached 125 mg/l, while the biomass growth was 186 as measured by absorption of 600 nm. The secreted
α-AMY was purified to 97.5% by SP-Sepharose FF ion-exchange chromatography and affinity purification. The recombinant α-AMY
showed activity on hydrolysis of starch. 相似文献

Verbena (Verbena x hybrida), an important floricultural species, was successfully regenerated from stem segments on Murashige and Skoog's basal medium supplemented with thidiazuron and indole-3-acetic acid. A transformation system was developed using cvs. Temari Scarlet, Temari Sakura, Tapien Rose and TP-P2. Agrobacterium tumefaciens strain Agl0 harboring the sGFP gene was infected into stem segments. Transformation efficiency was improved by evaluating and manipulating the age of the plant material, the concentration of kanamycin in the medium during selection, and the length of the culture period in the dark. After 2-3 months of culture on the selection medium, GFP-positive shoots were obtained in all four of the cultivars tested. These shoots were successfully acclimated and set flowers within 2-3 months in a greenhouse. GFP was expressed in all of the organs including the floral parts. Stable genomic transformation was confirmed by Southern blot analysis. No morphological differences were observed between the transformed plants and their host plants. 相似文献

Scyphozoan medusae are very successful foragers which occasionally occur in high abundances in boreal waters and may impact
many different groups in the marine ecosystem by means of a variety of toxins. A rainbow trout gill cell line, RTgill-W1,
was tested for its suitability as quantitative indicator of the cytotoxicity of Cyanea capillata and Aurelia aurita; the major scyphozoan species in the North and Baltic seas. Cultures of rainbow trout gill cells were exposed to whole venoms
extracted from fishing tentacles and oral arms at increasing protein concentrations. The venom caused detachment, clumping
and lysis of cells, as well as a drop in vitality, in a dose-dependent manner. Morphological changes in the cells were evident
within 1 h after venom addition. The damage to gill cells was quantified by measuring the metabolic activity of the cells
by means of the fluorescence of resorufin derived from the nonfluorescent substrate, resazurin. In general, a decrease in
the metabolic activity of the cells was detected at a venom (protein) concentration above 2.0 μg ml−1 (corresponding to 0.2 μg 104 cells−1), and a total loss of activity was observed above 40.0 μg ml−1 (corresponding to 4.0 μg 104 cells−1). C. capillata venoms had increased cytotoxic activity as compared to A. aurita venoms at the same concentration. Cnidocyst extracts from oral arms of A. aurita induced an 85% loss of gill cell viability at concentrations of 0.2 μg 104 cells−1, whereas crude venoms from fishing tentacles reduced cell viability by 18% at the same concentration. Gel electrophoresis
of the venoms indicated that these consist of a large number of proteins in a fairly wide size range, from 6 to 200 kDa, including
some that are the same size as those found in cubomedusae. It also appears that larger (i.e., older) medusae have more complex
venoms and, in some cases, more potent venoms than smaller animals. 相似文献

Background
Mustard aphid is a major pest of Brassica oilseeds. No source for aphid resistance is presently available in Brassica juncea . A wild crucifer, Brassica fruticulosa is known to be resistant to mustard aphid. An artificially synthesized amphiploid, AD-4 (B. fruticulosa × B. rapa var. brown sarson) was developed for use as a bridge species to transfer fruticulosa resistance to B. juncea. Using the selfed backcross we could select a large number of lines with resistance to mustard aphid. This paper reports cytogenetic stability of introgression lines, molecular evidence for alien introgression and their reaction to mustard aphid infestation.Results
Majority of introgression lines had expected euploid chromosome number(2n= 36), showed normal meiosis and high pollen grain fertility. Well-distributed and transferable simple-sequence repeats (SSR) markers for all the 18 B. juncea chromosomes helped to characterize introgression events. Average proportions of recipient and donor genome in the substitution lines were 49.72 and 35.06%, respectively. Minimum alien parent genome presence (27.29%) was observed in the introgression line, Ad3K-280 . Introgressed genotypes also varied for their resistance responses to mustard aphid infestations under artificial release conditions for two continuous seasons. Some of the test genotypes showed consistent resistant reaction.Conclusions
B.juncea-fruticulosa introgression set may prove to be a very powerful breeding tool for aphid resistance related QTL/gene discovery and fine mapping of the desired genes/QTLs to facilitate marker assisted transfer of identified gene(s) for mustard aphid resistance in the background of commercial mustard genotypes.15.
Recombinant Zantedeschia aethiopica agglutinin (ZAA) was expressed in Escherichia coli as N-terminal His-tagged fusion. After induction with isopropylthio-β-d-galactoside (IPTG), the recombinant ZAA was purified by metal-affinity chromatography. The purified ZAA protein was applied
in anti-fungal assay and the result showed that recombinant ZAA had anti-fungal activity towards leaf mold (Fulvia fulva), one of the most serious phytopathogenic fungi causing significant yield loss of crops. This study suggests that ZAA could
be an effective candidate in genetic engineering of plants for the control of leaf mold. 相似文献

Pear psylla (Cacopsylla pyri) causes severe damage on European pear cultivars, resulting in high yield losses. Its control has become difficult since it developed resistance to a wide range of pesticides, while the number of authorized molecules for pest control has decreased. Identifying pear psylla resistance factors should help breeding new resistant pear cultivars. We analyzed the quantitative resistance to psylla inherited from the genotype NY 10355 derived from Pyrus ussuriensis. Quantitative trait locus (QTL) analysis was carried out after counting the number of nymphs and estimating the nymphal development rate using a free-choice test performed on a large segregating progeny. We mapped two new loci for pear psylla resistance on linkage groups LG01 and LG04 of NY 10355 and confirmed the QTL previously detected on LG17. A strong epistatic interaction between the two QTLs detected on LG01 and LG17 appeared to be a major factor controlling the psylla infestation in the genotype NY 10355. 相似文献

The tick species, Amblyomma neumanni (Acari: Ixodidae) is the most frequent tick parasitizing humans in northwestern Argentina. The present study evaluated the
rickettsial infection among 55 A. neumanni adult free-living ticks collected in Dean Funes, Córdoba Province. Ticks were individually processed by the hemolymph test
with Gimenez staining, isolation of rickettsia in Vero cell culture by the shell vial technique, and polymerase chain reaction
(PCR) targeting the citrate synthase rickettsial gene. Through the shell vial technique, rickettsiae were successfully isolated
and established in Vero cell culture from two ticks (ticks 4 and 13), which previously showed to contain Rickettsia-like organisms by the hemolymph test. These two Rickettsia isolates were designated as An4 and An13. Molecular characterization (partial DNA sequences of two to three rickettsial genes
were determined) of these two isolates and phylogenetic analyses identified them as Rickettsia bellii (isolate An4) and Candidatus “Rickettsia amblyommii” (isolate An13). After testing all A. neumanni ticks by PCR, the prevalence of Candidatus
R. amblyommii and R. bellii was 23.6% (13/55) and 3.6% (2/55), respectively. These two rickettsiae have been considered of unknown pathogenicity and
appropriate studies to test their pathogenicity to humans or animals need to be conducted. This is the first report of Rickettsia in ticks from Argentina, and also in the species A. neumanni. The results reinforce previous findings that R. bellii (and probably Candidatus
R. amblyommii) are widespread among some Neotropical Amblyomma species, suggesting that these ticks gained these bacterial agents from a common ancestor and/or by recent horizontal transmission
of rickettsiae between ticks. 相似文献

To investigate effects of different pyruvate decarboxylases on isobutanol titers in Saccharomyces cerevisiae, single-gene deletion of the three PDCs genes encoding pyruvate decarboxylases were constructed in this study. In addition, we over-expressed Ilv2, which catalyzed the first step in the valine synthetic pathway, and Bat2, which was the cytoplasmic branched-chain amino-acid aminotransferase that catalyzed L-valine to 2-ketoisovalerate, to increase isobutanol production in the genetically modified strains. Our results showed that knockout of PDC5 were one of the main factors among the three PDC genes for improving isobutanol titers in S. cerevisiae. Additionally, we found that deletion of PDC5 in strain carrying overexpressed ILV2 and ARO10 resulted in 8-fold higher isobutanol productivity as compared to the control strain in micro-aerobic fermentations. Our results also suggested that engineered strain pdc5ΔpILV2 pARO10 generated lower ethanol titers and higher acetate acid titers than the control strain, while the growth rate and glucose consumption rate of engineered strain pdc5ΔpILV2 pARO10 were slightly lower than that of the control strain. Meanwhile, the biomass concentration of pdc5ΔpILV2 pARO10 decreased dramatically than that of the control strain. 相似文献

Gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH), gonadotropin hormone (GTH), and gonadotropin hormone receptor (GTHR) are the pivotal
signal molecules of the hypothalamic-pituitary-gonad (HPG) axis, which plays a crucial role in regulating gonadal development
in vertebrate. In this study, we comparatively analyze the expression characteristics of Gnrh2, Gthβ, and Gthr in red crucian carp diploids, triploids, and allotetraploids. The expression patterns of these genes are similar in the three
fish ploidy types: the Gnrh2 gene is expressed in midbrains, pituitaries, and gonads; the Gthβ gene is expressed in pituitaries; the Gthr gene is mainly expressed in gonads. These results indicate that the three genes participate in the regulation of gonadal
development. By real-time polymerase chain reaction and in situ hybridization, we find that, among these three fish ploidy
types, the expression level of Gthr in the gonads of triploids is lower than those of diploids and tetraploids; this weakens the combination of GTHR with GTH
released from the pituitary and leads to the sterility of triploids, since the gonad cannot produce enough sex steroids. In
addition, the low expression of Gthr in triploids may affect the down-regulation of Gthβ, which then affects the down-regulation of Gnrh2; hence, the expression levels of Gnrh2 and Gthβ genes in triploids are the highest after the breeding season. In conclusion, the differential expression of Gnrh2, Gthβ, and Gthr in triploids and tetraploids is related to their sterility and bisexual fertility, respectively. 相似文献

An Enterococcus faecalis mutant strain with a reduced ability for biofilm formation and primary attachment when compared to the high biofilm-forming
wild-type strain was characterized by molecular biological and proteomic approaches. A point mutation in the srt-1 gene, which encodes a sortase-type enzyme and is part of the recently described bee (biofilm enhancer in Enterococcus) gene cluster, could be identified in the mutant strain. The Srt-1 deficiency resulted in a loss of the Bee-2 protein within
a high molecular weight complex in cell surface protein extracts, as determined by mass spectrometry. These findings strongly
suggest a specific linkage of Bee-2 to Bee-1 and Bee-3 within a complex by Srt-1. Furthermore, the identification of specific
pilin motifs conserved in surface proteins of gram-positive bacteria indicated a possible involvement of the bee genes in the formation of pili structures, and may thus play a role in enhancing biofilm formation in Enterococcus faecalis. 相似文献
