甜菜黄脉坏死病毒RNA3和RNA4有生物活性体外转录产物及功能研究

甜菜黄脉坏死病毒RNA3和RNA4全长cDNA的合成是分别以Oligo-d(T)_(15)为引物合成第一链cDNA,cDNA的第二链的合成则分别应用RNA3和RNA4特异引物完成。全长双链cDNA分别克隆在pGEM3Zf(+)载体中,置于噬菌体Sp6启动子控制下。在体外以质粒DNA为模板应用“run off”系统及Sp6RNA Polymerase成功地合成了大量的具有高度生物活性的转录产物RNA3和RNA4。在两种转录反应系统中,以第一种方法即转录与加帽(capping)分步进行转录效率高,第二种方法(转录与加帽同时进行)转录效率较低,但转录产物侵染性更高。虽然在RNA3和RNA4转录产物的5′末端和3′末端分别含数目不同的非病毒核酸序列,但转录产物的活性并未受到显著的影响。应用这种具有高度生物活性的体外转录产物与该病毒Rg1分离物机械接种甜菜幼苗根毛,首次阐明了RNA3是导致甜菜丛根病的主要因素。     

天花粉蛋白基因的克隆、序列测定及在大肠杆菌和烟草中的表达

本文利用DNA多聚酶链式反应(PCR)技术,从括楼基因组DNA中扩增并克隆了天花粉蛋白基因,核苷酸序列分析结果表明,我们克隆的是天花粉蛋白的成熟肽及N端23个氨基酸的信号的编码序列,与前人从基因组或cDNA中克隆的该基因的比较发现,其同源性为99.25％,并且证实与发表的蛋白质一级结构的序列有较大差异,将该基因克隆到大肠杆菌高效表达质粒pJLA_(502)的P_RP_L启动子下游,通过温度诱导,得到了表达产物,进一步将该基因克隆到植物中间载体pE_3的花椰菜花叶病毒35S启动子下游,应用根癌农杆菌Ti质粒介导的遗传转化系统,成功地将该基因导入了烟草基因组,获得了转基因植株,Western blotting分析结果证实,天花粉蛋白基因已在大肠杆菌和转基因烟草中表达。     

Cloning and Sequencing of Trichosanthin Gene and Its Expression in Escherichia coli and Tobacco Plant

A Trichosanthin gene was cloned from Trichosanthes kirilowii genomic DNA by polymerase chain reaction (PCR). Nucleotide sequence data indicated that we obtained the coding region of the mature Trichosanthin peptide as well as its signal peptide at the N-terminus. Comparisons of our sequence with the previously reported nucleotide sequences of this gene showed 99.25% homology, yet there were notable differences between the previously reported amino acid sequence and our deduced result. This gene was subcloned into a highlevel expression plasmid (pJLA502) of E. coli under the control of a P_RP_L promoter, and we observed the gene product after temperature induction. The gene was further cloned into plant intermediate vector pE3 under the control of a CaMV 35S promoter, and transferred into a tobacco genome using the agrobacterium-mediated gene transfer system. Western blotting analysis of the protein extracted from Escherichia coli and transgenic tobacco plants proved that the Trichosanthin gene has been
