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

Efficient transformation of leaf disc-derived callus of Codonopsis lanceolata was obtained using Agrobacterium tumefaciens strain LBA4404 harboring a binary vector, pYBI121, that carries the neomycin phosphotransferase (npt II) gene as a selectable marker. The green shoots recovered from agroinfected explants on selection medium (containing 0.1 mg/l
α-naphthaleneacetic acid (NAA), 1 mg/l 6-benzylaminopurine (BAP), 100 mg/l kanamycin, and 250 mg/l cefotaxime) were rooted
on Murashige and Skoog (MS) medium supplemented with 2 mg/l IBA and 10 mg/l kanamycin. To optimize the transformation conditions,
several factors were assessed, including the co-cultivation period, the duration of pre- and post-culture in darkness and
light, the kanamycin concentration, and the Agrobacterium densities. We produced transgenic Codonopsis lanceolata overexpressing γ-tocopherol methyltransferase (γ-TMT) by this protocol. Moreover, the α-tocopherol content of the plants was enhanced by the overexpression of this gene.

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 undertook a field study to determine whether comb cell size affects the reproductive behavior of Varroa destructor under natural conditions. We examined the effect of brood cell width on the reproductive behavior of V. destructor in honey bee colonies, under natural conditions. Drone and worker brood combs were sampled from 11 colonies of Apis mellifera. A Pearson correlation test and a Tukey test were used to determine whether mite reproduction rate varied with brood cell
width. Generalized additive model analysis showed that infestation rate increased positively and linearly with the width of
worker and drone cells. The reproduction rate for viable mother mites was 0.96 viable female descendants per original invading
female. No significant correlation was observed between brood cell width and number of offspring of V. destructor. Infertile mother mites were more frequent in narrower brood cells. 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

Previous locations of flowering time (FT) QTL in several Brassica species, coupled with Arabidopsis synteny, suggest that orthologues of the genes FLC, FY or CONSTANS might be the candidates. We focused on FLC, and cloned paralogous copies in Brassica oleracea, obtained their genomic DNA sequences, and confirmed their locations relative to those of known FT-QTL by genetical mapping.
They varied in total length mainly due to the variable size of the first and last introns. A high level of identity was observed
among Brassica
FLC genes at the amino acid level but non-synonymous differences were present. Comparative analysis of the promoter and intragenic
regions of BoFLC paralogues with Arabidopsis
FLC revealed extensive differences in overall structure and organisation but showed high conservation within those segments known
to be essential in regulating FLC expression. Four B. oleracea
FLC copies (BoFLC1, BoFLC3, BoFLC4 and BoFLC5) were located to their respective linkage groups based on allelic sequence variation in lines from a doubled haploid population.
All except BoFLC4 were within the confidence intervals of known FT-QTL. Sequence data indicated that relevant non-synonymous polymorphisms
were present between parents A12DHd and GDDH33 for BoFLC genes. However, BoFLC alleles segregated independently of FT in backcrosses while the study provided evidence that BoFLC4 and BoFLC5 contain premature stop codons and so could not contribute to flowering time variation. Therefore, there is strong evidence
against any of the 4 BoFLC being FT-QTL candidates in this population. 相似文献

Cytoplasmic male sterility (CMS) plays an important role in crop heterosis exploitation. Determining one or more nuclear genes
that can restore male fertility to CMS is essential for developing hybrid cultivars. Genetic and physical mapping is the standard
technique required for isolating these restoration genes. By screening 2,250 simple sequence repeat (SSR) primer pairs in
cotton (Gossypium hirsutum L.), we identified five new SSR markers that are closely linked to the Rf
1
gene, a fertility restorer gene of cotton for CMS-D2. Based on our previous fine mapping of the Rf
1
gene and assemblage of three published STS markers, we constructed a high-resolution genetic map of Rf
1
containing 13 markers in a genetic distance of 0.9 cM. The 13 molecular markers were used to screen a bacterial artificial
chromosome (BAC) library from a restorer line 0-613-2R containing Rf
1
gene, which yielded 50 single positive clones. There was an average of 3.8 clones ranging from 1 to 12 BAC clones per PCR
marker. These 50 clones produced an average insert size of 120 kb (ranging between 80 and 225 kb). Thirty-five primer pairs
were designed based on 38 sequences of BAC ends, and two new STS markers tightly linked to Rf
1
gene have been tagged and integrated into this map. The physical map for the Rf
1
gene was constructed by fingerprinting the positive clones digested with the HindIII enzyme. We were able to delimit the possible location of the Rf
1
gene to a minimum of two BAC clones spanning an interval of approximately 100 kb between two clones designated 081-05K and
052-01N. Further work using these two BAC clones will lead to isolation of the Rf
1
gene in cotton. 相似文献

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

The blattisociid mite Lasioseius floridensis Berlese was found associated with the broad mite, Polyphagotarsonemus latus (Banks), on gerbera leaves in Mogi das Cruzes, State of Sao Paulo, Brazil. Blattisociid mites are not common on aerial plant
parts, except under high air humidity levels. Some Lasioseius species have been mentioned as effective control agents of rice pest mites, but nothing is known about the biology of L. floridensis. The objective of this study was to evaluate whether the observed co-occurrence of L. floridensis and P. latus was just occasional or whether the latter could be important as food source for the former, assumed by laboratory evaluation
of the ability of the predator to maintain itself, reproduce and develop on that prey. Biological parameters of L. floridensis were compared when exposed to P. latus and to other items as food. The study showed that mating is a pre-requisite for L. floridensis to oviposit and that oviposition rate was much higher on the soil nematode Rhabditella axei (Cobbold) (Rhabditidae) than on P. latus. Ovipositon on the acarid mite Tyrophagus
putrescentiae (Schrank) was about the same as on P. latus, but it was nearly zero when the predator was fed the fungi Aspergillus
flavus Link or Penicillium sp., or cattail (Typha sp.) pollen. Survivorship was higher in the presence of pollen and lower in the presence of A.
flavus or Penicillium sp. than in the absence of those types of food. Life table parameters indicated that the predator performed much better on
R. axei than on P. latus. To evaluate the potential effect of L. floridensis as predator of P. latus, complementary studies are warranted to determine the frequency of migration of L. floridensis to aerial plant parts, when predation on P. latus could occur. 相似文献

Key message
We have successfully produced single-cell colonies of C. merolae mutants, lacking the PsbQ’ subunit in its PSII complex by application of DTA-aided mutant selection. We have investigated the physiological changes in PSII function and structure and proposed a tentative explanation of the function of PsbQ’ subunit in the PSII complex.Abstract
We have improved the selectivity of the Cyanidioschyzon merolae nuclear transformation method by the introduction of diphtheria toxin genes into the transformation vector as an auxiliary selectable marker. The revised method allowed us to obtained single-cell colonies of C. merolae, lacking the gene of the PsbQ’ extrinsic protein. The efficiency of gene replacement was extraordinarily high, allowing for a complete deletion of the gene of interest, without undesirable illegitimate integration events. We have confirmed the absence of PsbQ’ protein at genetic and protein level. We have characterized the physiology of mutant cells and isolated PSII protein complex and concluded that PsbQ’ is involved in nuclear regulation of PSII activity, by influencing several parameters of PSII function. Among these: oxygen evolving activity, partial dissociation of PsbV, regulation of dimerization, downsizing of phycobilisomes rods and regulation of zeaxanthin abundance. The adaptation of cellular physiology appeared to favorite upregulation of PSII and concurrent downregulation of PSI, resulting in an imbalance of energy distribution, decrease of photosynthesis and inhibition of cell proliferation.18.
