The Minichromosome maintenance protein [MCM (2-7)] complex is associated with helicase activity for replication fork formation during DNA replication. We identified and characterized each 12 putative MCM genes from Brassica oleracea and Brassica rapa. MCM genes were classified into nine groups according to their evolutionary relationships. A high number of syntenic regions were present on chromosomes C03 and A03 in B. oleracea and B. rapa, respectively, compared to the other chromosomes. Expression analysis showed that most of the MCM(2-7) helicase-subunit genes and their coregulating MCM genes were upregulated during hydroxyurea (HU) induced stress in B. oleracea. In B. rapa, MCM(2-7) helicase genes BrMCM2_2, BrMCM7_1, BrMCM7_2 and their co-regulating genes were upregulated during replication stress. During cold stress, BoMCM6 in B. oleracea and BrMCM5 in B. rapa were remarkably upregulated. During salt stress, BoMCM6_2, BoMCM7_1, BoMCM8, BoMCM9, and BoMCM10 were markedly upregulated in B. oleracea. Hence, our study identified the candidate MCM family genes those possess abiotic stress-responsive behavior and DNA replication stress tolerance. As the first genome-wide analysis of MCM genes in B. oleracea and B. rapa, this work provides a foundation to develop stress responsive plants. Further functional and molecular studies on MCM genes will be helpful to enhance stress tolerance in plants.  相似文献

Two repeated DNA sequences isolated from a partial genomic DNA library of Helianthus annuus, p HaS13 and p HaS211, were shown to represent portions of the int gene of a Ty3 /gypsy retroelement and of the RNase-Hgene of a Ty1 /copia retroelement, respectively. Southern blotting patterns obtained by hybridizing the two probes to BglII- or DraI-digested genomic DNA from different Helianthus species showed p HaS13 and p HaS211 were parts of dispersed repeats at least 8 and 7 kb in length, respectively, that were conserved in all species studied. Comparable hybridization patterns were obtained in all species with p HaS13. By contrast, the patterns obtained by hybridizing p HaS211 clearly differentiated annual species from perennials. The frequencies of p HaS13- and p HaS211-related sequences in different species were 4.3x10(4)-1.3x10(5) copies and 9.9x10(2)-8.1x10(3) copies per picogram of DNA, respectively. The frequency of p HaS13-related sequences varied widely within annual species, while no significant difference was observed among perennial species. Conversely, the frequency variation of p HaS211-related sequences was as large within annual species as within perennials. Sequences of both families were found to be dispersed along the length of all chromosomes in all species studied. However, Ty3 /gypsy-like sequences were localized preferentially at the centromeric regions, whereas Ty1/ copia-like sequences were less represented or absent around the centromeres and plentiful at the chromosome ends. These findings suggest that the two sequence families played a role in Helianthusgenome evolution and species divergence, evolved independently in the same genomic backgrounds and in annual or perennial species, and acquired different possible functions in the host genomes.  相似文献

Tropilaelaps mercedesae is a serious ectoparasite of Apis mellifera in China. The aim of this study was to investigate the infestation rates and intensity of T. mercedesae in A. mellifera in China, and to explore the relative importance of climate, district, management practices and beekeeper characteristics that are assumed to be associated with the intensity of T. mercedesae. Of the 410 participating apiaries, 379 apiaries were included in analyses of seasonal infestation rates and 352 apiaries were included in multivariable regression analysis. The highest infestation rate (86.3%) of T. mercedesae was encountered in autumn, followed by summer (66.5%), spring (17.2%) and winter (14.8%). In autumn, 28.9% (93) of the infested apiaries were in the north (including the northeast and northwest of China), 71.1% (229) were in the central and south (including east, southeast and southwest China), and 306 apiaries (82.9%) were co-infested by both T. mercedesae and Varroa. Multivariable regression analysis showed that geographical location, season, royal jelly collection and Varroa infestation were the factors that influence the intensity of T. mercedesae. The influence of beekeeper’s education, time of beekeeping, operation size, and hive migration on the intensity of T. mercedesa was not statistically significant. This study provided information about the establishment of the linkage of the environment and the parasite and could lead to better timing and methods of control.  相似文献

Studying Pneumocystis has proven to be a challenge from the perspective of propagating a significant amount of the pathogen in a facile manner. The study of several fungal pathogens has been aided by the use of invertebrate model hosts. Our efforts to infect the invertebrate larvae Galleria mellonella with Pneumocystis proved futile since P. murina neither caused disease nor was able to proliferate within G. mellonella. It did, however, show that the pathogen could be rapidly cleared from the host.  相似文献

Auxin receptors TIR1/AFBs play an essential role in a series of signaling network cascades. These F-box proteins have also been identified to participate in different stress responses via the auxin signaling pathway in Arabidopsis. Cucumber (Cucumis sativus L.) is one of the most important crops worldwide, which is also a model plant for research. In the study herein, two cucumber homologous auxin receptor F-box genes CsTIR and CsAFB were cloned and studied for the first time. The deduced amino acid sequences showed a 78% identity between CsTIR and AtTIR1 and 76% between CsAFB and AtAFB2. All these proteins share similar characteristics of an F-box domain near the N-terminus, and several Leucine-rich repeat regions in the middle. Arabidopsis plants ectopically overexpressing CsTIR or CsAFB were obtained and verified. Shorter primary roots and more lateral roots were found in these transgenic lines with auxin signaling amplified. Results showed that expression of CsTIR/AFB genes in Arabidopsis could lead to higher seeds germination rates and plant survival rates than wild-type under salt stress. The enhanced salt tolerance in transgenic plants is probably caused by maintaining root growth and controlling water loss in seedlings, and by stabilizing life-sustaining substances as well as accumulating endogenous osmoregulation substances. We proposed that CsTIR/AFB-involved auxin signal regulation might trigger auxin mediated stress adaptation response and enhance the plant salt stress resistance by osmoregulation.  相似文献

Cellobiohydrolase genes cbhI and cbhII were isolated from Trichoderma viride AS3.3711 and T. viride CICC 13038, respectively, using RT-PCR technique. The cbhI gene from T. viride AS3.3711 contains 1,542 nucleotides and encodes a 514-amino acid protein with a molecular weight of approximately 53.96 kDa. The cbhII gene from T. viride CICC 13038 was 1,413 bp in length encoding 471 amino acid residues with a molecular weight of approximately 49.55 kDa. The CBHI protein showed high homology with enzymes belonging to glycoside hydrolase family 7 and CBHII is a member of Glycoside hydrolase family 6. CBHI and CBHII play a role in the conversion of cellulose to glucose by cutting the disaccharide cellobiose from the non-reducing end of the cellulose polymer chain. The two cellobiohydrolase (CBHI, CBHII) genes were successfully expressed in Saccharomyces cerevisiae H158. Maximal activities of transformants Sc-cbhI and Sc-cbhII were 0.03 and 0.089 units ml−1 under galactose induction, respectively. The optimal temperatures of the recombinant enzymes (CBHI, CBHII) were 60 and 70°C, respectively. The optimal pHs of recombinant enzymes CBHI and CBHII were at pH 5.8 and 5.0, respectively.  相似文献
