Magnaporthe oryzae MTP1 gene encodes a type III transmembrane protein involved in conidiation and conidial germination

In this study the MTP1 gene, encoding a type III integral transmembrane protein, was isolated from the rice blast fungus Magnaporthe oryzae. The Mtp 1 protein is 520 amino acids long and is comparable to the Ytp 1 protein of Saccharomyces cerevisiae with 46% sequence similarity. Prediction programs and MTP1-GFP （green fluorescent protein） fusion expression results indicate that Mtp 1 is a protein located at several membranes in the cytoplasm. The functions of the MTP1 gene in the growth and development of the fungus were studied using an MTP1 gene knockout mutant. The MTP1 gene was primarily expressed at the hyphal and conidial stages and is necessary for conidiation and conidial germination, but is not required for pathogenicity. The Amtpl mutant grew more efficiently than the wild type strain on non-fermentable carbon sources, implying that the MTP1 gene has a unique role in respiratory growth and carbon source use.     

用复制酶基因cDNA探针检测表达病毒外壳蛋白基因马铃薯中的PLRV

利用马铃薯卷叶病毒（ＰＬＲＶ）复制酶基因３′端长约６００ｂｐ的ｃＤＮＡ，用缺口平移方法进行３２Ｐ同位素标记，制备成ｃＤＮＡ探针，通过核酸斑点杂交，对提纯的马铃薯卷叶病毒（ＰＬＲＶ）、病毒ＲＮＡ、ＰＬＲＶ感染的马铃薯汁液，表达ＰＬＲＶＣＰ基因的马铃薯叶片及块茎芽进行了检测．结果表明，３２Ｐ标记的复制酶基因ｃＤＮＡ探针特异性强、灵敏度高．可测得提纯病毒的最低含量为４０８ｎｇ／ｍｌ，病毒ＲＮＡ最低量为２７．８ｐｇ／ｍｌ，未转ＣＰ基因接种ＰＬＲＶ的马铃薯叶片提取液的最高稀释度为１３７５．接种ＰＬＲＶ的转ＣＰ基因的抗性马铃薯块茎芽和叶片提取液的最高稀释度为０～１／１５．此探针和只转入病毒外壳蛋白基因，不接种ＰＬＲＶ的转基因马铃薯汁液不发生反应．表明，探针只与ＰＬＲＶ基因组ＲＮＡ特异反应，而不与外壳蛋白基因及其ｍＲＮＡ反应，从而为表达ＣＰ基因的转基因马铃薯中ＰＬＲＶ的检测和抗病性鉴定建立了一种可靠的灵敏的分子生物学技术．此项技术已用于转ＣＰ基因马铃薯Ｄｅｓｉｒｅ，Ｆａｖｏｒｉｔａ，乌盟６０１和虎头的抗病性鉴定     

Cloning and characterization of vernalization-related gene (ver203F) cDNA 3′ end

Based on the cDNA fragment sequence of vernalization-related geneverc203 cloned by differential screening in our lab, the 5′ primer has been designed. The cDNA 3′ end ofver203 gene (1 197 bp) has been cloned by the RACE method. And it is identified by Northern blotting that its expression is special in vernalization treatment. After comparing the sequence in the nucleotide sequence databases of Genbank, EMBL and DDBJ, the gene has homology withHordeum vulgare jesmonate-induced protein gene. It is suggested that this gene might be related to the signal transduction mediated by jamonate.     

Monitoring gene expression by cDNA array

A new method designated cDNA array was developed by hybridization of quantitatively arrayed DNA samples isolated randomly from a cDNA library with probes reverse-transcribed from mRNAs of different sources or treatments. The gene expression patterns of 1 000 randomly chosen clones from an Arabidopsis library were analyzed with green seedlings versus suspension cells and seedlings irradiated under UV light. Northern blot and sequence analysis of some differentially expressed clones confirmed the results revealed by cDNA array, indicating that this method is efficient and reliable to monitor gene expression.
