生防放线菌Ahn75的荧光标记及其在水稻中的定殖

【背景】目前gfp标记基因已成为研究靶标微生物与宿主之间互作的一种重要工具。利用gfp基因标记生防菌株,可以对生防菌株的生存及定殖能力进行有效追踪。【目的】对生防放线菌Ahn75进行荧光标记,探讨其在水稻中的定殖规律,为研究Ahn75的稻瘟病防治机制奠定基础。【方法】首先通过电激转化将含绿色荧光标记基因(gfp)的质粒pIJ8655导入大肠杆菌ET12567中,然后采用接合转移的方法将gfp整合到Ahn75基因组上;通过平板对峙试验检验Ahn75-GFP在标记绿色荧光后对稻瘟病病原菌的抑菌活性;采用喷施孢子液的方式将带荧光标记的Ahn75-GFP定殖水稻,并利用荧光显微镜观察生防菌在水稻中的定殖情况;对定殖水稻中的内生菌进行重分离,探究菌株在水稻组织中的分布规律。【结果】PCR扩增和荧光观察表明,绿色荧光标记基因成功整合到生防放线菌Ahn75中。通过平板对峙试验,发现Ahn75-GFP对稻瘟病病原菌抑菌活性与原始菌株没有显著差别。在荧光显微镜下,可以观察到Ahn75-GFP能稳定定殖于水稻的根、茎、叶等组织中,而水稻内生菌重分离试验表明该菌株在茎中的定殖力最强。【结论】获得一株绿色荧光标记生防菌株Ahn75-GFP,结果显示该菌株定殖水稻效果良好,这对于研究Ahn75的稻瘟病防治具有重要意义。     

多胺对离体培养条件下丛枝菌根真菌生长发育的影响*

研究离体培养条件下多胺 (PUT,SPD,SPM) 及多胺生物合成抑制剂 (MGBG) 对丛枝菌根真菌 (Glomus mosseae, Gigaspora margarita) 孢子萌发特性及菌丝生长发育的影响。试验结果表明,3种多胺类物质在50 ~200g/ml浓度范围内,对丛枝菌根真菌生长发育具显著促进作用,而500礸/ml浓度处理对丛枝菌根真菌生长发育表现强烈的抑制效应。MGBG (50 ~500g/ml) 对丛枝菌根真菌生长发育有较强的抑制作用,且可被外源多胺部分解除,但随浓度升高外源多胺的恢复作用降低,500礸/ml时无效。多胺对丛枝菌根真菌生长发育的促进作用因多胺类型及真菌菌种的变化而有不同的最适浓度范围。作者认为丛枝菌根真菌体内内源多胺的含量也许是其生长发育的限制因子。

为了明确枯草芽孢杆菌JL4在葡萄叶表面和内部的定殖情况,研究定殖与防治效果的关系,采用电击转化的方法将含有GFP基因的质粒pGFP78导入枯草芽孢杆菌JL4中,并得到成功表达GFP 的生防菌JL4-gfp,测试了标记菌株的稳定性及其对葡萄霜霉病菌的抑制作用.采用叶片喷雾法接种,用抗生素平板稀释分离回收,检测生防菌JL4-gfp在葡萄叶片的定殖情况,并将采回的叶片在室内接种葡萄霜霉菌孢子囊悬浮液进行生防测定.结果表明: 标记菌株在经过10次传代培养后,仍具有良好的发光表型,能稳定表达GFP蛋白,并且标记菌株JL4-gfp对葡萄霜霉菌保持了原有的抑菌作用;用抗生素平板稀释分离回收,检测到JL4-gfp菌株在葡萄叶片表面的定殖量在接种后的0、3和7 d分别为3.6×10⁵、2.7×10⁵和3.1×10³ CFU·g^-1;叶片内部的定殖在接种3 d后达到最大(9.6×10⁴ CFU·g^-1),然后下降,14 d后已经检测不到接种菌株;室内生防测定结果显示,喷雾后3 d对葡萄霜霉病的防治效果达88.0%以上,但7 d后则无明显防效.JL4-gfp的定殖量与其防治葡萄霜霉病的效果呈正相关,其有效定殖量临界值为10⁵ CFU·g^-1.     

Metal-enhanced fluorescence of single green fluorescent protein (GFP)

The green fluorescent protein (GFP) has emerged as a powerful reporter molecule for monitoring gene expression, protein localization, and protein-protein interaction. However, the detection of low concentrations of GFPs is limited by the weakness of the fluorescent signal and the low photostability. In this report, we observed the proximity of single GFPs to metallic silver nanoparticles increases its fluorescence intensity approximately 6-fold and decreases the decay time. Single protein molecules on the silvered surfaces emitted 10-fold more photons as compared to glass prior to photobleaching. The photostability of single GFP has increased to some extent. Accordingly, we observed longer duration time and suppressed blinking. The single-molecule lifetime histograms indicate the relatively heterogeneous distributions of protein mutants inside the structure.     

GFP在绿色荧光裸鼠不同组织中的表达及分析

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。     

A simple and visualized method to screen for effective siRNAs by using green fluorescence protein (GFP) as a reporter

To screen for effective small interference RNA (siRNA), a simple and visualized method was developed using the green fluorescence protein (GFP) as a reporter. Candidate siRNAs targeting macrophage migration inhibition factor genes (MIF) were identified. By using the pEGFP-N3 vector, the MIF-GFP expression plasmid, pEGFP-MIF, was constructed with the same Kozak consensus translation initiation site and start code ATG for the MIF-EGFP coding sequence. Based on the siRNA expression vector pSilencer-4.1, 3 candidate MIF siRNA expression plasmids were constructed and co-transfected with the pEGFP-MIF into the HEK293 cells, respectively. The GFP expression in HEK293 cells could be viewed by fluorescence microscopy and the MIF mRNA expressions were determined by real-time quantitative PCR. The 3 candidate MIF siRNA expression plasmids were also co-transfected with the MIF expression plasmid into the HEK293 cells, respectively, and the MIF mRNA expressions were determined by real-time quantitative PCR. The results show that the down-regulated expression of the MIF mRNA was consistent with the GFP expression and the same effective MIF siRNAs were screened by using the pEGFP-MIF or MIF expression plasmid with the candidate MIF siRNAs expression plasmids. Therefore, by using the GFP as a reporter, a useful method was provided to screen for effective siRNAs targeting specific genes co-expressed with the GFP. This may be a good strategy for screening for effective siRNAs targeting different genes. __________ Translated from Chinese Journal of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology, 2007, 23(3): 231–235 [译自: 中国生物化学与分子生物学报]

On-line measurement of green fluorescent protein (GFP) fluorescence for the monitoring of recombinant adenovirus production

An on-line fluorescence sensor prototype was constructed to monitor the production of the green fluorescent protein (GFP) by 293S cells infected with a recombinant adenovirus vector (rAdV) containing the GFP gene. Fluorescence was correlated to GFP concentration and therefore to viral protein expression, but not to rAdV production. The sensor signal can also be used to compute the GFP production rate, which predicts well the occurrence of maximum viral titer.     

微流控芯片监测绿色荧光蛋白在枯草芽孢杆菌中的表达

目前主要使用激光共聚焦扫描显微镜观察绿色荧光蛋白的表达,但需要昂贵的仪器并耗费大量时间。本研究开发了一种新型激光诱导的微流芯片检测系统来监测绿色荧光蛋白在枯草芽孢杆菌中的表达。该系统主要由激光装置、光路系统、微流控芯片、光电倍增管和计算机处理系统等5部分组成。对该系统的测试结果显示,随着诱导强度的增强监测信号峰也随之增强,并且与激光共聚焦显微镜观察的结果一致。利用该芯片系统能够快速准确地筛选和鉴定用绿色荧光蛋白作为标记的细胞克隆,可以替代PCR鉴定方法。但该系统仅仅能够监测表达强度,不能够满足蛋白定位等高水平研究,因此,该系统适合应用于环境的微生物监测、药物筛选和其他无需观察蛋白定位等研究。

Green fluorescent protein (GFP) as a marker during pollen development

The transient expression of three mutant forms of green fluorescent protein (GFP) genes, GFP4, GFP5ER, and GFP4S65C, under several constitutive and pollenspecific promoters throughout pollen development in Nicotianatabacum, thaliana and Antirrhinummajus is described. Immature pollen of tobacco, Arabidopsis and snapdragon, isolated at different developmental stages, were bombarded with plasmids containing the GFP and cultured in vitro for several days until maturity. The expression of GFP was monitored every day during in vitro maturation, germination and pollination, as well as after in situ pollination. The expression pattern of each construct was compared in parallel experiments to that of ßglucuronidase (GUS) constructs expressed by the same promoters. The results show that the expression level of all three GFP mutant forms was dependent on the strength of the promoter used. The strongest promoter was the DC3 promoter, and no notable differences in the intensity and brightness of all three versions of GFP were observed. GFPexpressing pollen from tobacco and snapdragon developed in vitro for several days until maturity and germinated in vitro as well as on the surface of stigmata, strongly suggesting that all three GFPs are not toxic for the development of functional pollen. Furthermore, stably transformed tobacco plants expressing GFP under the control of the strong pollenexpressed DC3 and LAT52 promoters were not impaired in reproductive function, confirming that GFP can be used as a nondestructive marker for plant reproductive biology and development.
