A cyclic peptide synthetase gene required for pathogenicity of the fungus Cochliobolus carbonum on maize.
Specificity in many plant-pathogen interactions is determined by single genes in pathogen and host. The single locus for host-selective pathogenicity (TOX2) in the fungus Cochliobolus carbonum governs production of a cyclic tetrapeptide named HC-toxin. We have isolated a chromosomal region, 22 kilobases (kb) long, that contains a 15.7-kb open reading frame (HTS1) encoding a multifunctional cycl...
متن کاملA putative cyclic peptide efflux pump encoded by the TOXA gene of the plant-pathogenic fungus Cochliobolus carbonum.
Race 1 isolates of Cochliobolus carbonum are pathogenic on certain maize lines due to production of a host-selective cyclic tetrapeptide, HC-toxin. Flanking HTS1, which encodes the central enzyme in HC-toxin biosynthesis, a gene was identified and named TOXA. Like HTS1, TOXA occurred only in isolates of the fungus that make HC-toxin and was present as two linked copies in most toxin-producing i...
متن کاملBZcon1, a SANT/Myb-Type Gene Involved in the Conidiation of Cochliobolus carbonum
The fungal pathogen Cochliobolus carbonum (anamorph, Bipolaris zeicola) causes Northern Leaf Spot, leading to a ubiquitous and devastating foliar disease of corn in Yunnan Province, China. Asexual spores (conidia) play a major role in both epidemics and pathogenesis of Northern Leaf Spot, but the molecular mechanism of conidiation in C. carbonum has remained elusive. Here, using a map-based clo...
متن کاملHistone Hyperacetylation in Maize in Response to Treatment with HC-Toxin or Infection by the Filamentous Fungus Cochliobolus carbonum.
HC-toxin, the host-selective toxin produced by the filamentous fungus Cochliobolus carbonum, inhibits maize (Zea mays L.) histone deacetylases (HDs) in vitro. Here we show that HDs are also inhibited by HC-toxin in vivo, as demonstrated by the accumulation of hyperacetylated forms of the core (nucleosomal) histones H3.1, H3.2, H3.3, and H4 in both maize embryos and tissue cultures. Hyperacetyla...
متن کاملGene transfer system for the phytopathogenic fungus Ustilago maydis.
A selectable marker for transformation was constructed by transcriptional fusion of a Ustilago maydis heat shock gene promoter with the hygromycin B phosphotransferase gene of Escherichia coli. U. maydis was transformed to hygromycin B resistance by polyethylene glycol-induced fusion of spheroplasts following exposure to plasmid DNA that carried the marker gene. Transformation frequencies of 50...
