In Gram-negative bacteria a typical quorum sensing (QS) system usually involves the production and response to acylated homoserine lactones (AHLs). An AHL QS system is most commonly mediated by a LuxI family AHL synthase and a LuxR family AHL response regulator. This study reports for the first time the presence of a LuxR family-type regulator in Xanthomonas oryzae pv. oryzae ( Xoo ), which has been designated as OryR. The primary structure of OryR contains the typical signature domains of AHL QS LuxR family response regulators: an AHL-binding and a HTH DNA binding motif. The oryR gene is conserved among 26 Xoo strains and is also present in the genomes of close relatives X. campestris pv. campestris and X. axonopodis pv. citri . Disrupting oryR in three Xoo strains resulted in a significant reduction of rice virulence. The wild-type Xoo strains do not seem to produce AHLs and analysis of the Xoo sequenced genomes did not reveal the presence of a LuxI-family AHL synthase. The OryR protein was shown to be induced by macerated rice and affected the production of two secreted proteins: a cell-wall-degrading cellobiosidase and a 20-kDa protein of unknown function. By expressing and purifying OryR it was then observed that it was solubilized when grown in the presence of rice extract indicating that there could be a molecule(s) in rice which binds OryR. The role of OryR as a possible in planta induced LuxR family regulator is discussed. 相似文献

WHEN the replication of density-inhibited cultures of fibroblasts1,2 is stimulated by a change of medium3–5, the rate of nuclear acidic protein synthesis10–13 is immediately increased. We wanted to determine whether the induction of cellular DNA synthesis by an oncogenic virus6–9 is also preceded by nuclear acidic protein synthesis. We report here the effect of SV40 virus infection of a permissive and a non-permissive cell line on their synthesis of total cellular proteins and nuclear acidic proteins in the first hours after infection. 相似文献

SINCE the original observations by Wilson1 that dissociated sponge cells could reassociate in vitro, cell aggregation (or reaggregation) has been widely used as an operational criterion for the study of intercellular adhesion2. The introduction of rotation-mediated methods to promote cell aggregation3,4 led to the possibility of obtaining reproducible quantitative data. In these methods, suspensions of dissociated single cells are shaken under defined conditions of speed and temperature and cell aggregation is measured by either the size of aggregates or the number of single cells. The aggregation of dissociated cells from sponges5, chick and mouse embryos4 and tissue culture cells6 has been investigated with this method. Cells maintained in vitro seemed particularly suitable for studying mechanisms of cell aggregation as they represent a histotypically homogeneous population. 相似文献
