The growth of Fusarium culmorum fungus on a medium containing thermostable proteins from potato tubers was accompanied by the production of proteinases, exhibiting activity over a broad pH range (from 6.0–10.0). When studied by SDS-PAGE in the presence of β-mercaptoethanol, extracellular proteinases were represented by at least five species with a molecular weight of 30–60 kDa. Inhibitor analysis and studies of enzyme activities with synthetic substrates demonstrated that the culture liquid of Fusarium culmorum contained serine proteinases of various classes. The amount of subtilisin-like proteinases was the highest. A near-complete inhibition of the enzymes was caused by proteinaceous proteinase inhibitors from potato tubers. These data suggest that proteinases of the phytopathogen Fusarium culmorum serve as a metabolic target for natural inhibitors of potato proteinases. 相似文献

The development of dry rot caused by Fusarium solani f. sp. eumartii was evaluated in susceptible (Huinkul) and resistant (Spunta) potato cultivars. Fungal proteolytic and polygalacturanase activities were measured at different days postinoculation either with the pathogenic F. solani f. sp. eumartii, isolate 3122 or with the non‐pathogenic F. solani, isolate 1042. After inoculation with the pathogenic fungus, proteolytic and polygalaturonase activities were higher in the susceptible than in the resistant cultivar. In addition, we found a correlation between the levels of proteolytic activity detected in the intercellular washing fluids with the size of the lesion area caused by F. solani f. sp. eumartii in Huinkul tubers. The action of the proteolytic activity over cell wall proteins of both potato cultivars was assayed. An extracellular potato protein with homology to proteinase inhibitors of the Kunitz family was identified as a substrate of the proteolytic activity in the susceptible cultivar. A microscopic study revealed differences between the potato genotypes in the rate of response to infection by F. solani f. sp. eumartii. In addition, the cell wall alteration caused by F. solani f. sp. eumartii in cortical cells of susceptible tubers was evaluated. The data with respect to the correlation between the course of cyto‐ and biochemical events of the two host–pathogen interactions were discussed. 相似文献

Abstract The impacts of potato psyllid (Bactericera cockerelli) feeding on potato foliage on the free amino acids (FAAs) composition in potato leaf and tubers were determined under greenhouse conditions. The free amino acids in plant extracts were separated by high‐performance liquid chromatography, and in both leaf and tuber samples, at least 17 FAAs were detected. Psyllid feeding significantly changed the levels of several FAAs in both leaf and tuber samples. The concentration of leucine increased 1.5‐fold, whereas that of serine and proline increased 2‐ and 3‐fold, respectively. In contrast, the concentrations of glutamic acid, aspartic acid and lyscine were significantly reduced by 42.0%, 52.1% and 27.5%, respectively. There were also significant changes in the levels of FAAs in the Zebra chip (ZC) infected tubers compared with the healthy tubers, and the levels of six of the FAAs increased, and the levels of nine of the FAAs decreased. The results from this study indicate that potato psyllid causes major changes in free amino acid composition of plant tissues, and this change in plant metabolism may contribute to the plant stress as indicated by increased levels of proline in the leaves and hence promoting the development of plant diseases such as ZC disease. 相似文献

Candida yeasts frequently cause life-threatening systemic infections in immunocompromised hosts. In the present study, gelatin-SDS-PAGE analysis was used to characterize extracellular proteinases in 44 oral clinical isolates of Candida albicans from HIV-positive (29/50) and healthy children (15/50). Our survey indicates that these oral clinical isolates of C. albicans have complex extracellular proteolytic activity profiles, which illustrates the heterogeneity of this species. We showed four distinct proteolytic patterns composed of distinct serine (30-58 kDa) and metalloproteinase (64-95 kDa) activities, based on the inhibition profile with phenylmethylsulfonyl fluoride and 1,10-phenanthroline, respectively. This is the first report on secreted serine and metalloproteinases present in the culture supernatant fluids of C. albicans; however, we did not observe a significant correlation between proteolytic profile expressed by the C. albicans isolates from HIV-positive children and CD4(+) T cell count and plasma viral load. 相似文献

Sugar accumulation and membrane lipid parameters associated with membrane permeability in chilling injury and senescence were followed in the early stages of low‐temperature sweetening in Solanum tuberosum tubers to monitor their dynamics. Norchip, a low‐temperature sweetening‐susceptible potato cultivar, and North Dakota 860‐2, a low‐temperature sweetening‐tolerant selection, were stored for 55 days at 4 and 12°C. Sugar accumulations were not linear and were characterized by fluctuations or cycles over storage time. Sucrose cycling and accumulation were greatest for Norchip tubers stored at 4°C as compared to the other treatments. Increases in membrane permeability were not detected by increases in electrolyte leakage. No significant changes in the phospholipid, galactolipid, free sterol levels or phospholipid to free sterol ratio were observed. The double bond index obtained from the fatty acid profiles of the total lipid fraction decreased significantly (decreased unsaturation) for Norchip tubers at 4°C over time. Free fatty acid and diene conjugation values fluctuated and increased over time for all treatments with greater amplitude of fluctuations observed for Norchip tubers stored at 4°C. These latter effects may be due to the high levels of lipid acyl hydrolase and lipoxygenase found in potato tubers. When free fatty acid and diene conjugation values were plotted with glucose accumulation over time, a possible relationship among the variables was revealed. The observed peroxidation products could relate low‐temperature stress and the resultant low‐temperature sweetening to chilling injury and drought stress. The anti‐oxidative potential of potato tubers should be considered for future cultivar development as a mechanism to lessen the severity or rate of low‐temperature sweetening development. 相似文献

Wound-induced respiration and pyrophosphate:fructose-6-phosphate phosphotransferase in potato tubers
Teramoto M Koshiishi C Ashihara H 《Zeitschrift für Naturforschung. C, Journal of biosciences》2000,55(11-12):953-956
A seven fold increase in the rate of respiratory O2 uptake was observed 24 h after slicing of potato tuber disks. The maximum activity of pyrophosphate:fructose-6-phosphate phosphotransferase (PFP) was 5-7 times greater than that of ATP-dependent phosphofructokinase (PFK) in fresh or aged potato slices. Thus, PFP may participate in glycolysis which supplies respiratory substrate in potato tubers. The PFP activity of desalted extracts determined in the absence of fructose-2,6-bisphosphate (F2,6BP) increased by 4.5 fold 24 h after slicing. However, maximal PFP activity determined with saturating (1 microM) F2,6BP was not changed. The Ka values of PFP for F2,6BP was lowered from 33 to 7 nM after 24 h of aging treatment. This increased susceptibility of the PFP activity to its allosteric activator, F2,6BP, may be involved in the increased respiration in wounded disks of potato tubers. Immunoblotting experiments indicated that both the alpha (66 kDa) and the beta (60 kDa) subunits of PFP were present in fresh or 24 h aged tuber slices. 相似文献

We have isolated a cDNA encoding transaldolase, an enzyme of the pentose-phosphate pathway, from potato (Solanum tuberosum). The 1.5 kb cDNA encodes a protein of 438 amino acid residues with a molecular mass of 47.8 kDa. When the potato cDNA was expressed in Escherichia coli a 45 kDa protein with transaldolase activity was produced. The first 62 amino acids of the deduced amino acid sequence represent an apparent plastid transit sequence. While the potato transaldolase has considerable similarity to the enzyme from cyanobacteria and Mycobacterium leprae, similarity to the conserved transaldolase enzymes from humans, E. coli and Saccharomyces cerevisiae is more limited. Northern analysis indicated that the transaldolase mRNA accumulated in tubers in response to wounding. Probing the RNA from various potato tissues indicated that the transaldolase mRNA accumulation to higher levels in the stem of mature potato plants than in either leaves or tubers. These data are consistent with a role for this enzyme in lignin biosynthesis. 相似文献

This study reports the biochemical characterization and comparative analyses of highly active serine proteases in the larval and pupal developmental stages of Aedes aegypti (Linnaeus) using substrate‐SDS‐PAGE. Zymographic analysis of larval stadia detected proteolytic activity in 6–8 bands with apparent molecular masses ranging from 20 to 250 kDa, with activity observed from pH 5.5 to 10.0. The pupal stage showed a complex proteolytic activity in at least 11 bands with apparent Mr ranging from 25 to 250 kDa, and pH optimum at 10.0. The proteolytic activities of both larval and pupal stages were strongly inhibited by phenyl‐methyl sulfonyl‐fluoride and N‐α‐Tosyl‐L ‐lysine chloromethyl ketone hydrochloride, indicating that the main proteases expressed by these developmental stages are trypsin‐like serine proteases. The enzymes were active at temperatures ranging from 4 to 85°C, with optimal activity between 37 and 60°C, and low activity at 85°C. Comparative analysis between the proteolytic enzymes expressed by larvae and pupae showed that substantial changes in the expression of active trypsin‐like serine proteases occur during the developmental cycle of A. aegypti. © 2011 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. 相似文献

Intercellular washing fluids from leaves of all tested higher plant species contained a serine-type protease which efficiently cleaved the artificial fluorogenic substrate MCA-Pro-Leu-Gly-Leu-Dnp-Ala-Arg (MCA). The activity varied between the species. The classification as serine protease was based on the sensitivity towards chymostatin and phenylmethylsulfonyl fluoride. MCA protease activity strongly declined with leaf age and was also detected in stems, roots and flower petals. In tobacco, specific activity of the chymostatin-sensitive MCA protease was about 40-fold higher in intercellular washing fluids than in whole leaf homogenate confirming the extracellular location of the MCA protease. The same enzyme activity was detected in developing tomato fruits; it showed a correlation with fruit growth and was not detectable in ripe fruits. The tobacco protease was sensitive to temperatures above 50 degrees C, had an isoelectric point of 5.8+/-0.1 and an apparent molecular mass of 68 kDa. Its pH optimum was very broad with little difference in activity between pH 5 and 9. Conversely, a casein-cleaving protease also present in intercellular washing fluids was insensitive towards chymostatin and revealed a pronounced pH optimum around 6.0. The data biochemically characterize a new type of extracellular proteolytic activity which may be particularly important during tissue expansion. 相似文献

Cloning and functional analysis of a cDNA encoding a starch synthase from potato (Solanum tuberosum L.) that is predominantly expressed in leaf tissue 总被引:10,自引:0,他引:10

Three isoforms of starch synthase (SS) were shown to be present in soluble potato tuber extracts by activity staining after
native gel electrophoresis. A cDNA encoding SSI from rice was used as a probe to clone a corresponding cDNA from potato. The
deduced amino acid sequence identified the protein as an SS from potato with an Mr of 70.6 kDa for the immature enzyme including its transit peptide. This novel isoform was designated SSI. An analysis of
the expression pattern of the gene indicated that SSI is predominantly expressed in sink and source leaves, and, to a lower extent in tubers. In several independent transgenic
potato lines, where the expression of SSI was repressed using the antisense approach, the activity of a specific SS isoform was reduced to non-detectable levels as
determined through activity staining after native gel electrophoresis. The reduction in the amount of this isoform of SS did
not lead to any detectable changes in starch structure, probably due to the fact that this isoform only represents a minor
activity in potato tubers.

A new defect of potato, Solanum tuberosum L., "zebra chip," so named for the characteristic symptoms that develop in fried chips from infected potato tubers, has recently been documented in several southwestern states of the United States, in Mexico, and in Central America. This defect is causing millions of dollars in losses to both potato producers and processors. Zebra chip plant symptoms resemble those caused by potato purple top and psyllid yellows diseases. Experiments were conducted to elucidate the association between the psyllid Bactericera cockerelli (Sulc) (Homoptera: Psyllidae) and zebra chip by exposing clean potato plants to this insect under greenhouse and field conditions. Potato plants and tubers exhibiting zebra chip symptoms were tested for phytoplasmas by polymerase chain reaction. Potato psyllids collected from infected potato fields also were tested. Results indicated that there was an association between the potato psyllid and zebra chip. Plants exposed to psyllids in the greenhouse and field developed zebra chip. In the greenhouse, 25.8 and 59.2% of tubers exhibited zebra chip symptoms in the raw tubers and fried chips, respectively. In the field, 15 and 57% of tubers showed symptoms in raw tubers and chips, respectively. No zebra chip was observed in tubers from plants that had not been exposed to psyllids, either in the greenhouse or field. No phytoplasmas were detected from potato plants or tubers with zebra chip symptoms, suggesting that these pathogens are not involved in zebra chip. Of the 47 samples of potato psyllids tested, only two tested positive for the Columbia Basin potato purple top phytoplasma. 相似文献

Application of enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay to the detection of potato leafroll virus in potato tubers 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2
Factors affecting the detection of potato leafroll virus (PLRV) by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) in tubers of field-grown potato plants with primary or secondary infection were studied. The reactions of extracts of virus-free potato tubers were minimised by pre-incubating the extracts at room temperature and by careful choice of the dilution of enzyme-conjugated globulin. PLRV was reliably detected in tubers produced by secondarily infected plants of all six cultivars tested. PLRV concentration was greater in heel-end than in rose-end vascular tissue of recently harvested tubers but increased in rose-end tissue when tubers stored at 4°C for at least 5 months were placed at 15–24°C for 2 wk. PLRV occurred at greater concentration in tubers from plants of cv. Maris Piper with natural or experimentally induced primary infection than in tubers from secondarily infected plants; again PLRV concentration was greater in heel-end than in rose-end vascular tissue. Plants whose shoots were infected earliest in the growing season were invaded systemically and produced the greatest proportion of infected tubers; plants infected late in the season also produced infected tubers but PLRV was not detected in their shoot tops. PLRV concentration in tubers from the earliest-infected plants was less than in tubers from later-infected plants. PLRV was detected reliably by ELISA in tubers from progenies that were totally infected but was not detected in all infected tubers from partially infected progenies. ELISA is suitable as a routine method of indexing tubers for PLRV, although the virus will not be detected in all infected tubers produced by plants to which it is transmitted late in the growing season. 相似文献

Investigation into virulence and mycotoxin formation of the dry rot causing pathogen Fusarium sambucinum on potatos 11 strains ofFusarium sambucinum were isolated from tubers with dry rot symptoms from three different depots in the Land Brandenburg and Saxony-Anhalt. All isolates produced diacetoxyscripenol in artificially infected potato tubers. Additionally, two isolates produced T-2 and HT-2 toxins as well. The virulence and mycotoxin formation of the isolates was dependent on the potato varieties ‘Sieglinde’ and ‘Berber’ used in the experiment. The amount of diacetoxyscripenol in diseased tissue was positively correlated with the virulence of theF. sambucinum isolate and the susceptibility of the potato variety as well. 相似文献

Patatin is a family of glycoproteins with an apparent molecular weight of 40 kDa. The protein is synthesized as a pre-protein with a hydrophobic signal sequence of 23 amino acids. Using different immunocytochemical methods we determined the tissue-specific as well as subcellular localization of the patatin protein. Since antibodies raised against patatin showed crossreactivity with glycans of other glycoproteins, antibodies specific for the protein portion of the glycoprotein were purified. Using these antibodies for electron-microscopical immunocytochemistry, the protein was found to be localized mainly in the vacuoles of both tubers and leaves of potatoes (Solanum tuberosum L.) induced for patatin expression. Neither cell walls nor the intercellular space contained detectable levels of patatin protein. Concerning the tissue specificity, patatin was mainly found in parenchyma cells of potato tubers. The same distribution was observed for the esterase activity in potato tubers.Abbreviations PHA

AbstractIn this study, an antagonistic yeast isolate, Wickerhamiella versatilis was considered as a promising biocontrol agent against Pectobacterium carotovorum subsp. Carotovorum (Pcc) the causal agent of soft rot disease of potato. Antagonistic yeast inhibited the growth of Pcc in vitro, and reducing the soft rot severity of infected potato tubers (cv. Diamant) under greenhouse conditions. Consequently, cellulase and pectinase hydrolytic activities in infected potato tubers with yeast?+?Pcc were decreased compared with infected tubers with Pcc. The histological characterization of treated potato tubers with antagonistic yeast W. versatilis using scanning electron microscope showed the accumulation of extracellular substances that may induce plant resistant and protects potato tubers from hydrolysis and damages. This study may introduce the possibility of using the antagonistic yeast isolate, as a biocontrol agent against soft rot of potato tubers. 相似文献

We studied the effect of two proteins, PSPI-21 and PKSI, on the growth and development of phytopathogenic microorganisms (Phytophthora infestans oomycete and Fusarium culmorum fungus). Both proteins were isolated from potato tubers (Solanum tuberosum L., cv. Istrinskii) and served as inhibitors of serine proteinases. These proteins differed in the ability to inhibit growth of Phytophthora infestans oomycete and Fusarium culmorum fungus. PSPI-21 was the most potent in modulating the growth of oomycete mycelium. PKSI primarily affected the growth of the fungal mycelium. The proteins under study induced complete destruction of oomycete zoospores and partial destruction of fungal macroconidia. Our results suggest that these proteins are involved in the protection of potato plants from phytopathogenic microorganisms. 相似文献

The testicular and epididymal fluids of ram, boar, and stallion were analyzed by means of one-dimensional and two-dimensional gelatin gel zymography. Five main gelatinolytic bands were revealed in the ram and at least seven were observed in the boar and stallion. These proteolytic bands showed regionalized distribution throughout the organs. The two main proteolytic activities at around 54-66 kDa retrieved in all three species were inhibited by EDTA and phenanthroline, indicating that they were metallo-dependent enzymes. The activity of some of the low-molecular-weight gelatinases was also decreased by EDTA, whereas others were inhibited by serine protease inhibitors. One of the main proteases at 60-62 kDa from the caput fluid of the stallion and the ram was N-terminal sequenced; in both cases, high sequence homology was found with the N-terminal of the matrix-metalloproteinase-2 pro-form (pro-MMP-2). Antibodies against MMP-2, MMP-3, and MMP-9 gelatinases confirmed the regional distribution in the fluids of pre -, pro-, active, or degraded forms of these metalloproteases in all three species. We also observed the presence of acrosin in epididymal fluids, which was probably released by dead spermatozoa, but this enzyme did not explain all the serine protease activity. Moreover, the majority of this enzyme is bound to the protease inhibitor alpha(2)-macroglobulin, which is present in the fluids of all three species. TIMP-2, a potent inhibitor of MMPs, was present in the fluid of the caput regions in the ram and boar, and in the caput and caudal fluids of the stallion. This study demonstrated that similar types of proteases and inhibitors are regionally distributed in the epididymal fluids of three domestic species, suggesting an identical role in the sperm maturation process, the plasticity of this organ, or both. 相似文献

Oxalic acid (as oxalate) was detected in four tubers commonly used for food in Nigeria-Dioscorea rotundata (White yam), Solanum tuberosum (Irish potato), Ipomoea batatas (Sweet potato), and Manihot esculenta (cassava). Whereas healthy I. batata had the highest oxalic acid content, healthy M. esculenta contained the lowest. When all tubers were artifically inoculated with four fungi-Penicillium oxalicum CURIE and THOM, Aspergillus niger VAN TIEGH, A. flavus and A. tamarii KITA, there was an increase in oxalate content/g of tuber tissue. The greatest amount of oxalate was produced by P. oxalicum in D. rotundata tuber. Consistently higher amounts of oxalate were produced by the four fungi in infected sweet potato tuber than in any other tuber and consistently lower amounts of oxalate were produced by the four fungi in Irish potato tuber. Differences in the carbohydrate type present in the tubers and in the biosynthesis pathway are thought to be responsible for variation in the production of oxalate in the different tubers by the four fungi used. 相似文献
