Cloning and nucleotide sequence of the mono- and diacylglycerol lipase gene (mdlB) of Aspergillus oryzae

Abstract Aspergillus oryzae IFO4202 produces at least two extracellular lipolytic enzymes L1 and L2 (cutinase, and mono- and diacylglycerol lipase, respectively). Southern hybridization of restriction enzyme-digested genomic DNA fragments with 23mer oligonucleotides synthesized according to the amino acid sequence of the L2 as probe suggested the presence of the L2 gene (tentatively designated as mdlB ) and an additional weakly hybridizing region. A fragment containing the genomic mdlB gene was cloned in Escherichia coli . Nucleotide sequencing of the fragment revealed an open reading frame, comprising 1021 nucleotides, which contains two introns (51 and 52 nucleotides). Putative polyadenylation signals were found 182 and 287 bp downstream of the stop codon. The deduced amino acid sequence of the mdlB gene corresponds to 306 amino acid residues including a leader sequence of 28 amino acids and is highly similar to that of the mdlA gene of Penicillium camembertii . Three residues presumed to form the catalytic triad (serine, aspartic acid and histidine) of lipases were also conserved.     

炭样小单孢菌产抗生素对水稻细菌性条斑病菌的抗菌作用及其机理

【背景】水稻细菌性条斑病菌为水稻细菌性条斑病的病原菌,土壤中分离到的一株具有广谱抗菌活性的炭样小单孢菌JXNU-1,其发酵产物(即抗生素JX)对植物病原菌具有较强的抑菌活性。【目的】研究抗生素JX对水稻细菌性条斑病菌的抗菌作用及其机理。【方法】采用杯碟法测定抑菌圈大小,二倍稀释法测定最低抑菌浓度、最低杀菌浓度,并且从菌体形态观察、电导率变化、培养液大分子漏出、蛋白质合成、核酸合成和膜电位变化6个方面探究其作用机理。【结果】抗生素JX对水稻细菌性条斑病菌的抑菌圈直径达18.84±0.28mm,最低抑菌浓度和最低杀菌浓度分别为1.39μg/m L和2.78μg/mL,且杀菌速度很快,作用12 h的杀菌率达100%。在抗生素JX作用下,水稻细菌性条斑病菌的细胞形态发生改变,培养液电导率、膜电位和大分子漏出量均随抗生素浓度增加而增大,但菌体蛋白质含量随着抗生素浓度增加而降低,同时,通过实时荧光定量PCR方法检测发现ef-p表达量下调。【结论】抗生素JX对水稻细菌性条斑病菌具有较强的抗菌作用,推测其抑菌机理是通过抑制菌体蛋白质的生物合成和影响细胞膜完整性而起作用。     

米根霉脂肪酶基因pro-ROL和m-ROL在毕赤酵母中的密码子优化、表达和酶学性质的比较分析

米根霉Rhizopus oryzae脂肪酶不仅在众多工业领域中具有良好的应用价值,其典型的分子内伴侣结构(Intramolecular chaperon)也是研究蛋白质翻译后加工和成熟的理想材料.以尼oryzae HU3005为材料,克隆了其脂肪酶前体基因(pro-ROL)和成熟脂肪酶基因(m-ROL),并实现了其在巴斯德毕赤酵母Pichia pastoris GS 115中的分泌表达.酶学性质比较分析表明:m-ROL对中等链长底物(Cl0和C12)具有更高的水解活性,而pro-ROL更倾向于短链底物(C4),且在pH 8.0时活性最高.再者,pro-ROL具有比m-ROL更好的温度稳定性.推测m-ROL和pro-ROL脂肪酶酶学性质的差异可能是由前序列对脂肪酶的折叠和修饰的影响而导致.为提高m-ROL的表达水平,采用重叠延伸PCR技术将基因中8个低频密码子替换为高频密码子.在摇瓶条件下,发酵72 h后,经密码子优化后的m-ROL酶活和蛋白质含量分别达到132.7 U/mL和50.4 U/mL,而初始m-ROL和pro-ROL酶活和蛋白质含量分别仅为28.7 U/mL和14.4 mg/L、29.6 U/mL和14.1 mg/L.     

Two Magnaporthe appressoria‐specific (MAS) proteins,MoMas3 and MoMas5, are required for suppressing host innate immunity and promoting biotrophic growth in rice cells

In the devastating rice blast fungus Magnaporthe oryzae, six Magnaporthe appressoria‐specific (MAS) proteins are encoded by MoGAS1, MoGAS2 and MoMAS3–MoMAS6. MoGAS1 and MoGAS2 were previously characterized as M. oryzae virulence factors; however, the roles of the other four genes are unknown. Here, we found that, although the loss of any MAS gene did not affect appressorial formation or vegetative growth, ∆Momas3 and ∆Momas5 mutant strains (but not the others) were reduced in virulence on susceptible CO‐39 rice seedlings. Focusing on ∆Momas3 and ∆Momas5 mutant strains, we found that they could penetrate host leaf surfaces and fill the first infected rice cell but did not spread readily to neighbouring cells, suggesting they were impaired for biotrophic growth. Live‐cell imaging of fluorescently labelled MoMas3 and MoMas5 proteins showed that during biotrophy, MoMas3 localized to the apoplastic compartment formed between fungal invasive hyphae and the plant‐derived extra‐invasive hyphal membrane while MoMas5 localized to the appressoria and the penetration peg. The loss of either MoMAS3 or MoMAS5 resulted in the accumulation of reactive oxygen species (ROS) in infected rice cells, resulting in the triggering of plant defences that inhibited mutant growth in planta. ∆Momas3 and ∆Momas5 biotrophic growth could be remediated by inhibiting host NADPH oxidases and suppressing ROS accumulation. Thus, MoMas3 and MoMas5 are novel virulence factors involved in suppressing host plant innate immunity to promote biotrophic growth.

互作对水稻白叶枯病菌JXOⅢ和JXOⅤ超氧阴离子释放的调控

水稻白叶枯病菌能够引起水稻的白叶枯病等一系列水稻病害。水稻白叶枯病菌JXOⅢ和JXOⅤ细胞中超氧阴离子的释放水平存在显著的差异,并进一步显示在两者亚细胞组分的超氧阴离子释放水平上。这种差异暗示致病性不同的病原菌中,O2^-可能具有信号传导及毒性因子的不同作用。亲和性不同的植物一病原菌互作过程对病原菌JXOⅢ和JXOⅤ的超氧阴离子释放具有不同的调控作用。对自身O2^-水平很低的JXOⅢ来说,亲和互作和非亲和互作过程都可诱导JXOⅢ中O2^-的释放;然而在自身听水平较高的JXOⅤ中,则随亲和性不同而表现出诱导或抑制的不同调控作用。无论是在JXOⅢ还是在JXOⅤ中,互作后分离得到的病原菌仍然能够显示出互作对其O2^-释放的显著影响,这种调控作用很可能具有一定的遗传稳定性。虽然机制还不清楚,但是推测这种调控可能和互作的走向相关。     

水稻病程相关PR1家族蛋白质在叶片生长及与白叶枯病菌互作反应中的表达

病程相关(PR)蛋白质经常被用作抗病反应的分子标记。利用免疫印迹(WB)技术检测了7个PR1家族蛋白质在水稻(Oryza sativa)叶片生长及与白叶枯病菌互作反应过程中的表达,发现6个PR1家族蛋白质在叶片生长中有表达。检测PR1蛋白质在Xa21介导的抗白叶枯病过程中的表达,结果显示PR1#052、PR1#072、PR1#073和PR1#121四个蛋白质在抗病反应后期呈上调或诱导表达,PR1#071则表达下调。进一步比较它们在抗病、感病和对照(Mock)反应中的表达丰度,发现在抗病和感病反应中的变化幅度均明显大于对照反应,推测这些PR蛋白质在水稻-白叶枯病菌互作反应中发挥作用。另外,对PR1基因上游启动子区的cis元件进行了分析。该研究初步揭示了水稻PR1家族蛋白质的表达谱,为进一步了解PR1蛋白质的功能提供了线索。
