【摘要】 根据已报道的寄生疫霉（Phytophthora parasitica）parA1基因的序列设计引物,从4株寄生疫霉中国菌株（3株来自烟草,1株来自刺槐）中克隆到此基因并进行了重组表达。序列分析表明4株寄生疫霉parA1基因序列高度保守。对表达载体pET-30a（+）双酶切,构建表达parasiticein蛋白的表达载体pET-eli,用CaCl₂法转化大肠杆菌（Escherichia coli）BL21,通过诱导在大肠杆菌中进行非融合表达,表达产物在烟草上引起过敏性反应。性质测定表明,表达产物有一定的耐热性,并对蛋白酶K敏感。更多还原

【Abstract】 Elicitins are a family of small proteins secreted by species of the genus Phytophthora. They can cause a hypersensitive response (HR) and induce systemic acquired resistance (SAR) in tobacco. Here we report cloning and characterization of parA1 homologs from 4 strains of Phytophthora parasitica isolated from tobacco and locust in China. Amplification by PCR (polymerase chain reaction) of DNA from the 4 strains, using primers specific to a parA1 reported previously, produced 4 products. Their nucleotide sequences are highly conserved and identical to the parA1 gene previously cloned. Therefore, the parA1 genes were successfully cloned from the Chinese strains of P. parasitica. They were cloned into the vector pET-30a (+) and transformed into Escherichia coli BL21. The expressed product was biologically active, as it caused HR in tobacco leaf panels after direct infiltration; the protein was thermostable and sensitive to protease K. We have established a recombinant E. coli that produces the elicitin. This is the first report of cloning of parA1 genes from locust isolate of the pathogen.更多还原
