链格孢属真菌(Alternaria Nees)是世界上分布最广泛的真菌之一,可产生9种寄主选择性毒素(host-selective toxins,HST)。根据寄主不同,将链格孢属的7个生理小种称为链格孢菌(Alternaria alternata)的7种致病型。每种致病型产生的HST都是低分子质量的次级代谢产物,只对敏感品种有毒,对抗性品种无毒。参与HST生物合成的基因都是多拷贝的,这些共同表达的基因组成基因簇。各致病型的基因簇位于一条小于2.0Mb的conditionally dispensable(CD)染色体上,CD染色体的不稳定性不影响菌丝的生长和孢子的萌发,但与菌株的致病力有关。从链格孢菌6种致病型得到毒素合成基因,日本梨致病型、草莓致病型、橘致病型有共同的EDA结构域,这3种致病型有很多EDA生物合成需要的同源基因。HST的分子遗传学研究为链格孢菌不同致病型的演化提供了新的见解。 相似文献

棉花型和瓜型棉蚜产生有性世代能力的分化 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2
为了明确寄主专化性是否会影响棉蚜的繁殖策略或生活史对策,采用低温和短光照组合(18℃,L∶D=8∶16)分别对棉花型和瓜型棉蚜进行有性世代的诱导,比较两寄主专化型棉蚜产生有翅蚜、雄性母、雌性母及无翅孤雌蚜的能力。结果表明:两寄主专化型棉蚜在产生有性世代能力上存在显著差异,表现为棉花型棉蚜在诱导后代中产生有翅蚜、雄性母和雌性母的比率显著高于瓜型棉蚜,并且雌、雄性母产生的时间明显早于瓜型棉蚜。瓜型棉蚜在诱导条件下产生无翅孤雌蚜的比率显著高于棉花型棉蚜,并且发现有不产生有性世代的营专性孤雌生殖个体,而在棉花型棉蚜中没有发现。产生性母蚜的棉花型和瓜型棉蚜均可同时产生孤雌胎生后代。寄主型与诱导时间长短对棉蚜有性世代的产生存在交互作用。采集于田间棉花和黄瓜上的棉蚜,也表现为棉花上的易产生有性世代,在诱导的第2代中产生性母蚜的比率显著高于黄瓜上的棉蚜,并且性母蚜比率在诱导的第2代与第3代间无显著差异; 但黄瓜上的棉蚜性母蚜产生比率第3代显著高于第2代。由此推测,棉蚜寄主专化性的形成与生活史特性的分化有关。 相似文献

Although different mechanisms have been proposed in the recent years, plant pathogen partial resistance is still poorly understood. Components of the chemical warfare, including the production of plant defense compounds and plant resistance to pathogen-produced toxins, are likely to play a role. Toxins are indeed recognized as important determinants of pathogenicity in necrotrophic fungi. Partial resistance based on quantitative resistance loci and linked to a pathogen-produced toxin has never been fully described. We tested this hypothesis using the Alternaria dauci – carrot pathosystem. Alternaria dauci, causing carrot leaf blight, is a necrotrophic fungus known to produce zinniol, a compound described as a non-host selective toxin. Embryogenic cellular cultures from carrot genotypes varying in resistance against A. dauci were confronted with zinniol at different concentrations or to fungal exudates (raw, organic or aqueous extracts). The plant response was analyzed through the measurement of cytoplasmic esterase activity, as a marker of cell viability, and the differentiation of somatic embryos in cellular cultures. A differential response to toxicity was demonstrated between susceptible and partially resistant genotypes, with a good correlation noted between the resistance to the fungus at the whole plant level and resistance at the cellular level to fungal exudates from raw and organic extracts. No toxic reaction of embryogenic cultures was observed after treatment with the aqueous extract or zinniol used at physiological concentration. Moreover, we did not detect zinniol in toxic fungal extracts by UHPLC analysis. These results suggest that strong phytotoxic compounds are present in the organic extract and remain to be characterized. Our results clearly show that carrot tolerance to A. dauci toxins is one component of its partial resistance. 相似文献

Host-specific toxins: effectors of necrotrophic pathogenicity 总被引:3,自引:0,他引:3
Host-specific toxins (HSTs) are defined as pathogen effectors that induce toxicity and promote disease only in the host species and only in genotypes of that host expressing a specific and often dominant susceptibility gene. They are a feature of a small but well-studied group of fungal plant pathogens. Classical HST pathogens include species of Cochliobolus , Alternaria and Pyrenophora . Recent studies have shown that Stagonospora nodorum produces at least four separate HSTs that interact with four of the many quantitative resistance loci found in the host, wheat. Rationalization of fungal phylogenetics has placed these pathogens in the Pleosporales order of the class Dothideomycetes. It is possible that all HST pathogens lie in this order. Strong evidence of the recent lateral gene transfer of the ToxA gene from S. nodorum to Pyrenophora tritici-repentis has been obtained. Hallmarks of lateral gene transfer are present for all the studied HST genes although definitive proof is lacking. We therefore suggest that the Pleosporales pathogens may have a conserved propensity to acquire HST genes by lateral transfer. 相似文献

Infectious diseases are among the common leading causes of morbidity and mortality worldwide. Associated with the emergence of new infectious diseases, the increasing number of antimicrobial‐resistant isolates presents a serious threat to public health and hospitalized patients. A microbial pathogen may elicit several host responses and use a variety of mechanisms to evade host defences. These methods and mechanisms include capsule, lipopolysaccharides or cell wall components, adhesions and toxins. Toxins inhibit phagocytosis, cause septic shock and host cell damages by binding to host surface receptors and invasion. Bacterial and fungal pathogens are able to apply many different toxin‐dependent mechanisms to disturb signalling pathways and the structural integrity of host cells for establishing and maintaining infections Initial techniques for analysis of bacterial toxins were based on in vivo or in vitro assessments. There is a permanent demand for appropriate detection methods which are affordable, practical, careful, rapid, sensitive, efficient and economical. Aptamers are DNA or RNA oligonucleotides that are selected by systematic evolution of ligands using exponential enrichment (SELEX) methods and can be applied in diagnostic applications. This review provides an overview of aptamer‐based methods as a novel approach for detecting toxins in bacterial and fungal pathogens. 相似文献

Nonpathogenic, environmental fungi induce activation and degranulation of human eosinophils 总被引:4,自引:0,他引:4

Eosinophils and their products are probably important in the pathophysiology of allergic diseases, such as bronchial asthma, and in host immunity to certain organisms. An association between environmental fungal exposure and asthma has been long recognized clinically. Although products of microorganisms (e.g., lipopolysaccharides) directly activate certain inflammatory cells (e.g., macrophages), the mechanism(s) that triggers eosinophil degranulation is unknown. In this study we investigated whether human eosinophils have an innate immune response to certain fungal organisms. We incubated human eosinophils with extracts from seven environmental airborne fungi (Alternaria alternata, Aspergillus versicolor, Bipolaris sorokiniana, Candida albicans, Cladosporium herbarum, Curvularia spicifera, and Penicillium notatum). Alternaria and Penicillium induced calcium-dependent exocytosis (e.g., eosinophil-derived neurotoxin release) in eosinophils from normal individuals. Alternaria also strongly induced other activation events in eosinophils, including increases in intracellular calcium concentration, cell surface expression of CD63 and CD11b, and production of IL-8. Other fungi did not induce eosinophil degranulation, and Alternaria did not induce neutrophil activation, suggesting specificity for fungal species and cell type. The Alternaria-induced eosinophil degranulation was pertussis toxin sensitive and desensitized by preincubating cells with G protein-coupled receptor agonists, platelet-activating factor, or FMLP. The eosinophil-stimulating activity in Alternaria extract was highly heat labile and had an M(r) of approximately 60 kDa. Thus, eosinophils, but not neutrophils, possess G protein-dependent cellular activation machinery that directly responds to an Alternaria protein product(s). This innate response by eosinophils to certain environmental fungi may be important in host defense and in the exacerbation of inflammation in asthma and allergic diseases. 相似文献

Endopolygalacturonase is essential for citrus black rot caused by Alternaria citri but not brown spot caused by Alternaria alternata 总被引:5,自引:0,他引:5

Alternaria citri, the cause of Alternaria black rot, and Alternaria alternata rough lemon pathotype, the cause of Alternaria brown spot, are morphologically indistinguishable pathogens of citrus: one causes rot by macerating tissues and the other causes necrotic spots by producing a host-selective toxin. To evaluate the role of endopolygalacturonase (endoPG) in pathogenicity of these two Alternaria spp. pathogens, their genes for endoPG were mutated by gene targeting. The endoPGs produced by these fungi have similar biochemical properties, and the genes are highly similar (99.6% nucleotide identity). The phenotypes of the mutants, however, are completely different. An endoPG mutant of A. citri was significantly reduced in its ability to cause black rot symptoms on citrus as well as in the maceration of potato tissue and could not colonize citrus peel segments. In contrast, an endoPG mutant of A. alternata was unchanged in pathogenicity. The results indicate that a cell wall-degrading enzyme can play different roles in the pathogenicity of fungal pathogens. The role of a cell wall-degrading enzyme depends upon the type of disease but not the taxonomy of the fungus. 相似文献

The antifungal activity of chitosan, a biopolymer of beta-1-4 glucosamine, against Alternaria alternata f. sp. lycopersici , causal agent of black mold of tomato, was investigated. Chitosan was incorporated into potato-dextrose broth at concentrations of 100-6400 mug ml - 1, and the growth and toxin production by the fungus were assessed after 15 days of incubation. At the higher concentrations, chitosan significantly aVected both fungal growth and toxin production. However, at lower concentrations toxin production was aVected more than growth. The fungus sporulated excessively in the presence of chitosan, but the spores were less viable. Chitosan also induced aggregation, abnormal shape, excessive branching and hyphal contortion of fungal cells, and leakage of proteins. The virulence of the toxin in culture filtrates of the fungus grown on diVerent concentrations of chitosan was assessed by administering toxin on tomato disks. The phospholipid content, electrolyte leakage and activities of xylanase and pectin methylesterase were measured in the tomato tissue administered with culture filtrates containing fungal toxin. Decreased trends in the tendency to cause electrolyte leakage, phospholipid degradation and activation of xylanase and pectin methylesterase in the tomato tissue were observed with increasing concentrations of chitosan. The results showed that toxin produced in the presence of chitosan was less eVective in causing degradation of tomato tissue compared with the control. Thus, chitosan is a potential antifungal agent which can interfere with the pathogenic factors of the fungus. 相似文献

Toxins penetrate mammalian cells through various means. In this study, we report a unique strategy used by trichosanthin (TCS), a plant toxin with ribosome-inactivating activity, to penetrate host cells. We found that in both JAR and K562 cells, endocytosed TCS is incorporated into intraluminal vesicles of the multivesicular body (MVB) and is then secreted in association with these vesicles upon fusion of the MVB with the plasma membrane. The secreted TCS-loaded vesicles secreted by K562 cells move throughout the intercellular space and target syngeneic and specific allogeneic cells. Subsequent internalization permits delivery of the toxin into the cytosol, resulting in ribosomal inactivation and cell death. Thus, our findings provide a novel mechanism by which foreign proteins pass between and penetrate into mammalian cells. 相似文献

Zygocin, a protein toxin produced and secreted by a killer virus-infected strain of the osmotolerant yeast Zygosaccharomyces bailii, kills a great variety of human and phytopathogenic yeasts and filamentous fungi. Toxicity of the viral toxin is envisaged in a two-step receptor-mediated process in which the toxin interacts with cell surface receptors at the level of the cell wall and the plasma membrane. Zygocin receptors were isolated and partially purified from the yeast cell wall mannoprotein fraction and could be successfully used as biospecific ligand for efficient one-step purification of the 10-kDa protein toxin by receptor-mediated affinity chromatography. Evidence is presented that zygocin-treated yeast cells are rapidly killed by the toxin, and intensive propidium iodide staining of zygocin-treated cells indicated that the toxin is affecting cytoplasmic membrane function, most probably by lethal ion channel formation. The presented findings suggest that zygocin has potential as a novel antimycotic in combating fungal infections. 相似文献

Deoxyphomenone is a fungistatic sesquiterpene produced by the fungal hyperparasite Dicyma pulvinata. A study of the kinetics of the synthesis of this toxin was achieved by the use of [U-14C]acetate. Labelled deoxyphomenone was detectable in the culture filtrate one hour after inoculation of the medium with spores of D. pulvinata. Optimum incorporation of radioactivity in the toxin occurred in the early phase of exponential growth. Consequently, maximum availability of deoxyphomenone is found in the young parts of the hyphae in zones where contact between the hyperparasite and parasite occur. This underlines the role which the toxin can play in early phases of hyperparasitism. 相似文献
