禾谷镰刀菌cAMP受体类GPCR生物信息学分析

禾谷镰刀菌(Fusarium graminearum)是引起小麦赤霉病的主要致病菌。G蛋白偶联受体(G protein coupled receptors,GPCRs)是一类重要的细胞表面受体,其介导的cAMP信号通路可能参与了禾谷镰刀菌的致病和毒素合成,因此分析cAMP受体类型的GPCRs蛋白的结构及其理化性质对了解GPCRs的功能及其与赤霉病致病的关系具有重要意义。本研究运用生物信息学方法,对禾谷镰刀菌全基因组序列中cAMP类GPCR基因进行了生物信息学分析。发现禾谷镰刀菌中存在5个典型的cAMP受体类型GPCRs:FgcAR1、FgcAR2、FgcAR3、FgcAR4和FgcAR5,均含有7个跨膜结构域,并定位于细胞膜上。除FgcAR1外,其余为疏水性蛋白。蛋白质二级结构分析表明,均含有大量α螺旋,比例在60%左右,FgcAR4和FgcAR5没有β转角,FgcAR1、FgcAR2和FgcAR3也只有较少比例的β转角。这些GPCRs中含有较多的Ser和Thr磷酸化位点。遗传分析表明,禾谷镰刀菌cAMP受体类型的GPCR蛋白与假禾谷镰刀菌及F.langsethiae同源性最高,亲缘关系最近。本研究明确了禾谷镰刀菌中cAMP类GPCR蛋白的理化性质、定位、二级结构、磷酸化位点及进化关系,为了解小麦赤霉病发病机制及以GPCRs为靶标的新型杀菌剂研发奠定了基础。     

γ射线紫外线镰刀菌产生玉米赤霉烯酮毒素的影响

锭刀菌(Fusarium)经γ射线、紫外线辐射诱变后,接种于大米培养基中.经10℃低温产毒培养.采用薄层层析方法定性定量分析培养物中的镀刀菌毒素—玉米赤霉烯酮(zearalenone简称ZEA).结果表明:不同菌株对诱变剂的反应不同.产毒菌株NF5232、NF5946在较大剂量γ射线处理后,ZEA产量显著增加,但其产生的色素量下降.或者用紫外线处理,仍然产生ZEA.不产毒菌株NF6127、NF6123、NP6138和HD—002,经γ射线或紫外线处理后仍不产生ZEA.由此可知镰刀菌产生ZEA毒素的能力是相对稳定的,其产毒机制是由菌株本身的遗传特性决定的,一定剂量的γ射线可使低产毒菌株变为高产毒菌株.

探讨脱氧雪腐镰刀菌烯醇（DON）对体外培养的两株胃癌细胞（SGC-7901和BGC-823）增殖及细胞周期的影响。采用细胞培养、噻唑蓝（MTF）比色法、流式细胞定量检测（FCM）、蛋白质免疫印迹（Western印迹）以及免疫细胞化学染色（ICH）等方法,研究不同浓度DON处理72h对体外培养胃癌细胞的增殖、细胞周期及细胞周期相关蛋白—细胞周期蛋白依赖性激酶抑制蛋白（CKIs）P21WAF/CIP1和细胞周期蛋白E（cyclin E）表达的影响。MTT法检测结果显示DON可明显抑制两株胃癌细胞的增殖,SGC．7901和BGC．823细胞100、500、1000ug／L DON处理组的增殖抑制率分别为4．28％、36．20％、45．35％和14．89％、32．30％、51．61％。FCM检测结果显示,给予1000ug／LDON处理72h可使两株细胞周期阻滞在GffM期。在100～1000u扎浓度范围内,两株细胞P21WAF／CIP1表达量均高于对照组,P21WAF／CIP1的表达与DON浓度呈显著正相关关系（SGC-7901细胞：r=0．886,P〈0．01;BGC-823细胞：r=0．943,P〈0．01）;两株细胞的细胞周期蛋白E表达量均低于对照组,与DON浓度有明显剂量依赖关系（SGC．7901细胞：r=-0．923,P〈0．01;BGC-823细胞：r=-0．854,P〈0．01）。Western印迹及免疫细胞化学检测进一步证实了DON处理对蛋白质表达的影响。综合结果表明,DON可抑制体外培养胃癌细胞的增殖活性,G2／M期阻滞、P21WAF/CIP1表达增高及细胞周期蛋白E表达下降可能是DON抑制胃癌细胞增殖的可能机制,DON对分化程度不同的胃癌细胞的影响没有明显差别。     

绿色荧光蛋白标记下镰刀菌侵染地黄的组织学观察

为分析对地黄有较强致病性的尖孢镰刀菌的侵染机制,本研究采用携带有潮霉素抗性标记的强组成型表达载体pCT74,经PEG-CaCl₂介导的原生质体转化法导入镰刀菌,获得荧光信号强烈的sGFP标记菌株,并采用喷施接种和根部灌根接种。研究发现镰刀菌首先在地黄外部聚集繁殖,并通过伤口或气孔等通道侵入地黄维管组织,后逐渐导致周围海绵组织破裂,进而致使地下根茎逐渐变黑腐烂;由于地黄叶部气孔发达,使得镰刀菌由叶部侵入速度要快于根部灌根接种;不同孢子浓度接种实验表明镰刀菌对寄主的致害程度与其在叶部与根部的接种浓度并不呈相关性。进一步在接种处理后采集地黄叶部、茎部和根部组织提取真菌DNA后进行PCR扩增发现：在根部接种60h后即能检测到镰刀菌的侵入,经84h后侵入到地黄茎部组织,经96h后侵入到地黄叶部组织。该标记菌株可为今后探索地黄连作栽培中真菌病害大规模爆发的根际生物学过程提供研究材料。

PCR-based strategy to detect contamination with mycotoxigenic Fusarium species in maize

Contamination of cereals with mycotoxigenic species of Fusarium is an important source of trichothecenes, fumonisins and other mycotoxins which cause serious diseases in human and animals. In addition, these species are phytopathogenic and produce severe losses in cereal yield. Methods for early detection of these Fusarium species are crucial to prevent toxins entering the food chain and are a useful tool in disease management practices. We have developed an integrated protocol for diagnosis of mycotoxigenic Fusarium contamination in maize which can also be used for other cereals. The protocol consisted in an easy and rapid DNA extraction from maize samples (grain and germ), and subsequent group-specific polymerase chain reaction (PCR) assays for genus Fusarium, Gibberella fujikuroi complex, and trichothecene-producing species of Fusarium, that orientate the search of the critical species. We have additionally developed a PCR assay for the identification of F. proliferatum. The primers were designed on the basis of IGS sequence (Intergenic Spacer of rDNA), a multi-copy region in the genome that permits to enhance the sensitivity of the assay in comparison with PCR assays based on single-copy sequences. The suitability of the protocol and the relative efficacy of single and multi-copy sequence-based PCR assays have been tested in a wide range of fumonisin-contaminated maize samples.     

Variation in pathogenicity of Fusarium verticillioides and resistance of maize genotypes to Fusarium ear rot

Abstract

The ineffective control measures of pathogens is due to variability among their populations. Hence, the study of pathogenic variation of Fusarium verticillioides strains on maize genotypes. Six F. verticillioides infected maize ear were randomly obtained from three agro-ecological zones in Southwest Nigeria. Pathogenicity of F. verticillioides strains at 1.0?×?10⁶ spores/mL were examined in vivo based on the rating scale of 1–7 on maize genotypes T2L COMP.1.STR SYN-W-1, PVA SYN 8F2, and T2L COMP.4. The pathogens were inoculated to the maize genotypes on 8th week for disease severity and were all moderately susceptible, however, genotype T2L COMP.4 was the most susceptible. It was observed that, 9.4% were classified as highly virulent, 12.5% as virulent, 37.5% as moderately virulent, 21.8% as slightly virulent, and 18.8% as non-virulent. In all, Fusarium verticillioides strains displayed different degrees of virulence, however, maize genotype T2L COMP.4 was the most susceptible to ear rot.     

Handling and aflatoxin contamination of white maize in Costa Rica

Projects funded by International Development Research Centre (IDRC) of Canada and the European Commission have enabled the examination of more than 3000 samples of maize collected from all regions of Costa Rica at different stages, from the growing crop through storage to final sale, and at different water contents. Contamination with Aspergillus flavus was frequent and about 80% of samples contained more than 20 ng aflatoxins g-1 grain. Average contamination with aflatoxins in the Brunca Region was > 274 ng g -1 while that in other regions was < 70 ng g -1. Except in Brunca region, where it averaged 376 ng g -1, contamination of grain from commercial sources was slightly less than of that from farms (≤15 ng g-1). It appeared that samples kept on the cob after harvest contained almost no aflatoxin while shelled samples were frequently highly contaminated. Experiments were therefore done in Brunca and Huetar Atlantic Regions, utilising 34 experimental maize crops to study in detail the development of A. flavus and aflatoxin from before harvest, through postharvest treatment before drying and through storage for six months. A. flavus was isolated more frequently from maize shelled immediately after harvest than from that kept on the cob until it could be dried, and from more samples from the Brunca Region than from the Huetar Atlantic Region. Samples harvested with ≥18% water content often contained >70% of grains infected with A. flavus but sometimes there were few grains infected. As found in the initial survey, more aflatoxin contamination developed in shelled maize than in that handled on the cob during the period from harvesting to drying, especially if the delay was more than 5 days, and more in Brunca than in Huetar. Shelled grain contained 400–800 ng aflatoxin g -1 in Brunca but <100 ng g-1 in Huetar while grain kept on the cob contained <30 ng g-1, even with >18% water content. Incidence of Fusarium spp. exceeded 50% except where A. flavus colonized more than 80% of grains. This revised version was published online in June 2006 with corrections to the Cover Date.     

Comparison of two selective culture media for the detection of Fusarium infection in conventional and transgenic maize kernels

Aims: To assess differences between two recommended selective culture media, Nash and Snyder medium (NS) and malachite green agar 2.5 (MGA 2.5), for the detection of Fusarium infection in conventional and transgenic maize kernels. Methods and Results: In total, 10 800 kernels from commercial varieties grown in Spain were analysed using these Fusarium selective culture media. Fusarium verticillioides was predominant in both selective culture media. Mean percentages of Fusarium infected kernels were significantly lower in transgenic maize kernels than in conventional maize kernels. There were no significant differences in percentage of Fusarium infection between the two selective culture media used, although the total mean value on MGA 2.5 (18·8%) was slightly lower than on NS (19·1%). Conclusions: MGA 2.5 performed as a potent selective medium for the detection of Fusarium infection in maize kernels using the direct plating technique. Significance and Impact of the Study: NS with pentachloronitrobenzene (PCNB) as fungal inhibitor is one of the most widely employed selective culture medium for Fusarium spp. However, PCNB has been reported to be carcinogenic. MGA 2.5 can be used as an alternative to NS in the detection of Fusarium infection in grain samples using the direct plating technique.     

Generation and characterisation of functional recombinant antibody fragments against RNA replicase NIb from plum pox virus

A monoclonal antibody (mAb 2A) able to react against the RNA replicase NIb from plum pox virus (PPV) was obtained and used for generating a specific scFv fragment. The VH and VL coding sequences were cloned and expressed as a fusion scFv protein to alkaline phosphatase. This fusion protein was able to recognise viral NIb in both Western and tissue-print ELISA blots. The affinity and specificity of scFv2A for NIb was similar to that of the parental mAb and the region YLEAFY from PPV-NIb was identified by PEPSCAN assay as the putative epitope. Isolated VH domains from scFv2A were also expressed as fusion to alkaline phosphatase. However, their ability to react against NIb was greatly altered. scFv2A fragments were transiently expressed in the cytosol of Nicotiana benthamiana and although they accumulated to low levels, inhibition-ELISA results indicated that they retained antigen-binding activity.

Fusarium graminearum and deoxynivalenol contamination in the durum wheat area of Argentina

Fusarium graminearum head blight of wheat is a destructive disease of the world's wheat-growing areas. This work was performed to analyze the distribution and contamination of deoxynivalenol (DON) and its relationship with F. graminearum kernel invasion in Argentina durum wheat area during two consecutive harvests. A total of 147 samples (cultivars and lines) of durum wheat from 5 locations of the major cropping area (Southern Buenos Aires Province) were analyzed. Percentage of F. graminearum kernel infection was evaluated following the blotter test (ISTA method) and fusarotoxins were analyzed by thin layer chromatography. None of the varieties and lines were free of F. graminearum infection. In the first harvest fungal invasion was very low. From 40 samples, 55% showed DON contamination but only 4 samples (10%) were higher than 2 ppm. In the second harvest, a crop year conducive to scab development, the highest level of F. graminearum kernel invasion observed was 42% on a sample from the humid area (eastern Buenos Aires Province) DON was detected in 47 (78.2%) of 60 samples analyzed and 19 (31.6%) showed levels of DON higher than those established in the guidelines in Canada and USA for food and feedstuff. In both years all locations situated in the humid area showed levels ranging from 0 to > 8 ppm. Within the durum wheat area differences among locations were found. This analysis indicates the need for more information on the problem and distribution of Fusarium mycotoxins in durum wheat grown in Argentina.
