发根农杆菌Ri质粒的分子生物学及其应用前景

发根农杆菌(Agrobacterium rhizogenes)与根癌农杆菌(Agrobacterium tumefaci-end)均是革兰氏阴性菌,同属根瘤菌科(Rhizobaceae)。根癌农杆菌侵染可以诱使大多数双子叶植物产生冠癌瘤(crown gall),发根农杆菌则可以使植物宿主细胞组织产生毛状根瘤(hairy roots tumors)。土壤杆菌的这一类致病特性早在本世纪初就已被观察

发根农杆菌及其应用

农杆菌是一类侵染性非常广泛的Ｇ-土壤杆菌,农杆菌质粒介导的基因转移系统是植物基因工程中比较完善与有效的基因转移方法。在众多的转基因植物中有80%是由农杆菌介导转化的,但其中大部分是有根癌农杆菌Ｔｉ质粒介导法获得的。根癌农杆菌含有的Ｔｉ质粒,能诱导被侵染的植物细胞形成肿瘤,即诱发冠瘿瘤。发根农杆菌含有Ｒｉ质粒,侵染植物后能诱发植物细胞产生毛发状根,即发根瘤。近年来的研究发现发根农杆菌Ｒｉ质粒介导法比Ｔｉ质粒法具有一定优越性而被广泛重视,而且由其转化获得转基因植物和生物有效成分的报道愈来愈多,本文主要讨论发根农…

lacZ gene fusions and insertion mutagenesis in the TL-region of Agrobacterium rhizogenes Ri plasmid

Agrobacterium rhizogenes induces root formation and inserts a fragment of its plasmid into the genome of infected plants. A part of the transferred region (TL-region) of the Ri plasmid of A. rhizogenes strain A4 was cloned in pBR322. Insertions of the Escherichia coli lacZ coding region into the hybrid plasmids were made in vivo using mini-Mu-duction. Two mini-Mus were used, one with the Mu A and B transposase genes (MudII1681) and the other without (MudII1734). Two inserts which result in E. coli lacZ expression where shown to be located in the T-DNA region. This indicates that portions of the T-DNA are capable of expression in bacteria. When these two hybrid plasmids were transformed into Agrobacterium only the one harboring MudII1734 insert gave transformants which correspond to homologous recombination. These results indicate that gene fusion and insertion directed mutagenesis can be simultaneously obtained with this mini-Mu and could be used to study Agrobacterium gene expression.

Organization of the agropine synthesis region of the T-DNA of the Ri plasmid from Agrobacterium rhizogenes.

The agropine/mannopine synthesis region of the TR region of the Ri plasmid of Agrobacterium rhizogenes strain A4 was localized on the basis of sequence similarity with probes from Ti plasmids of Agrobacterium tumefaciens and analysis of transposon insertions. The nucleotide sequence of the right part of the TR-DNA of pRiA4, encompassing the three genes involved in mannityl-opine synthesis, was determined and compared to the sequence of the corresponding region of the octopine-type Ti plasmid pTi15955. The organization of this region is strongly conserved between Ri and Ti plasmids, but the similarity is restricted to the coding sequences: no homology was detected in the 5' and 3' flanking sequences. The mas1' and ags proteins are the most conserved, showing more than 68% amino acid conservation, whereas the mas2' proteins are only 59% identical. Significant G/C content and codon usage differences are observed between pTi15955 and pRiA4. An open reading frame strongly similar to that of bacterial repressors is situated immediately to the right of the TR region.     

Effect of the rol genes from Agrobacterium rhizogenes on polyamine metabolism in tobacco roots

Plants of the mangrove species Pelliciera rhizophoreae and Avicennia germinans, exhibit pronounced oscillations in stomatal aperture under certain climatic conditions. During these oscillations, changes in transpirational water loss were closely followed by those in leaf water potential (ψ1) as indicated by continuous monitoring with an in situ dewpoint hygrometer. With this instrument, it was possible to measure dynamic changes in ψ1 for several days under constant conditions. Subsequently, the leaf was detached from the shoot and a pressure-volume (PV) curve was established by repeatedly weighing the leaf, still attached to the hygrometer during short interruptions of the water potential recordings. The pressure-volume relationship was then used to derive other water relations parameters from these water potential data. Thus, the procedure described herein allows a continuous analysis of the relevant components of bulk leaf water relations. Oscillations in water potential were also measured with single leaves using a pressure chamber. Water relations data obtained with these two different methods were in good agreement. In addition, osmotic potentials derived from the PV-analysis were well within the range of those determined cryoscopically using extracted cell sap.     

Incompatibility between a Rhizobium Sym plasmid and a Ri plasmid of Agrobacterium

The symbiotic plasmid of Rhizobium trifolii G1008 was mobilized to other Rhizobium strains and to Agrobacterium using Tn5-Mob, a transposon that confers on a host replicon the ability to be mobilized in trans by RP4. Incompatibility was observed between pSymG1008 and the hairy-root-inducing plasmid pRi1855. Agarose gel electrophoresis revealed that pRi1855 was eliminated as an autonomous element in the presence of pSymG1008 and its absence was correlated with loss of the ability to induce hairy root disease. This indicates a close ancestral relationship between a Rhizobium symbiotic plasmid and a plant pathogenic plasmid of Agrobacterium. pSymG1008 and pRi1855 can be assigned to the IncRh-3 incompatibility group. Furthermore, pSymG1008 was mobilized at low frequency to R. phaseoli 51E and the transconjugants isolated had lost the indigenous Sym plasmid and the ability to nodulate beans.
