An inducible transposable element, termed INAc (inducible Activator), was constructed for development of a gene tagging system in higher plants. The advantage of such an inducible element is that, unlike the native transposon, its excision can be induced at any time during plant development and the resulting mutants are stable after removal of the inducer. A fusion of the SA inducible promoter (PR-1a) with the Ac transposase gene was inserted together with a hygromycin resistance gene between ca. 400 bp sequences from each end of the maize Ac element, yielding INAc. The INAc element was introduced into tobacco and tomato plants. A high frequency of spontaneous transposition was apparent in primary transformed tomato calli but not in tobacco calli. Treatment of tobacco plants with salicylic acid induced transposition of INAc in both somatic and germinal tissue, with germinal transposition events being revealed by characterization of the progeny of transformed plants whose flowers were exposed to SA. The INAc element thus exhibits potential for development of an inducible transposon system suitable for gene isolation in heterologous plant species. 相似文献

We have investigated the endogenous phosphorylation patterns of phosphorylated proteins of Xanthomonas campestris pv. oryzae induced by its bacteriophages. For bacteriophage Xp12-infected cells, at least three phosphoproteins with apparent molecular weights of 28, 28.5 and 45kDa were detected by in vitro labeling with [-32P]-ATP. These Xp12-specific phosphoproteins only occurred with Xp12 infection, and were not shown in uninfected or Xp10-infected cells. The protein kinase(s) responsible could use either ATP or GTP as the nucleotide substrate with nearly the same efficiency. Magnesium was proved to be an essential factor for the phosphorylation. EGTA treatment excluding the possibility that the presumed protein kinase was calcium-dependent. Under our reaction conditions, the optimal phosphorylation occurred at pH 7 to 8, for 30 to 40 min at 25 to 37°C. The Xp12-specific protein phosphorylation hint the existence of a physiological regulation mechanism involved in the life cycle of bacteriophage Xp12. Furthermore, the presumed protein kinase was shown to be encoded by the genome of Xp12 rather than indirectly induced by Xp12 infection. 相似文献

Some foreign proteins are produced in yeast in a cell cycle-dependent manner, but the cause of the cell cycle dependency is unknown. In this study, we found that Saccharomyces cerevisiae cells secreting high levels of mouse α-amylase have elongated buds and are delayed in cell cycle completion in mitosis. The delayed cell mitosis suggests that critical events during exit from mitosis might be disturbed. We found that the activities of PP2A (protein phosphatase 2A) and MPF (maturation-promoting factor) were reduced in α-amylase-oversecreting cells and that these cells showed a reduced level of assembly checkpoint protein Cdc55, compared to the accumulation in wild-type cells. MPF inactivation is due to inhibitory phosphorylation on Cdc28, as a cdc28 mutant which lacks an inhibitory phosphorylation site on Cdc28 prevents MPF inactivation and prevents the defective bud morphology induced by overproduction of α-amylase. Our data also suggest that high levels of α-amylase may downregulate PPH22, leading to cell lysis. In conclusion, overproduction of heterologous α-amylase in S. cerevisiae results in a negative regulation of PP2A, which causes mitotic delay and leads to cell lysis. 相似文献
