Integration of Agrobacterium tumefaciens transfer DNA (T-DNA) involves rearrangements of target plant DNA sequences.
The transfer DNA (T-DNA) mobilized into plant cells by Agrobacterium tumefaciens seems to integrate rather randomly into the plant genome. We analyzed a target site in the genome of Nicotiana tabacum before and after integration of a T-DNA. Clones presenting right and left T-DNA/plant DNA junctions were used as probes to identify and isolate a unique 1.8-kilobase EcoRI fragment corresponding to...
متن کاملDNA modifying enzymes of Agrobacterium tumefaciens: effect of DNA topoisomerase, restriction endonuclease, and unique DNA endonuclease on plasmid and plant DNA.
Extracts from Agrobacterium tumefaciens strain ID135 contain three enzymes that have been characterized and partially purified. The first enzyme, a DNA topoisomerase, appeared to relax only negatively twisted DNA. The second enzyme, Atu I, a type II restriction endonuclease, generated the identical DNA digestion pattern as EcoRII when several DNAs were used. The third enzyme, endonuclease A, sh...
متن کاملThe virD operon of Agrobacterium tumefaciens Ti plasmid encodes a DNA-relaxing enzyme.
The virD locus of Agrobacterium tumefaciens Ti plasmid encodes functions necessary for endonucleolytic cleavage of transferred DNA (T-DNA) prior to its transfer to plant cells. For the overproduction of the VIRD proteins in Escherichia coli a tac-virD operon fusion was constructed. A significant increase in the accumulation of VIRD proteins was observed in a lon protease-deficient E. coli host....
متن کاملRecombination between higher plant DNA and the Ti plasmid of Agrobacterium tumefaciens.
The Ti plasmid sequences (T-DNA) from the octopine-producing crown gall tumor A6S/2 were isolated by molecular cloning, using the bacteriophage lambda vector Charon 4A. Analysis of the cloned DNA segments indicates that the Ti plasmid sequences are covalently joined to plant nuclear DNA. These data demonstrate that genetic recombination between a eukaryote and a prokaryote can occur as a natura...
متن کاملCharacterization of Agrobacterium tumefaciens DNA ligases C and D
Agrobacterium tumefaciens encodes a single NAD+-dependent DNA ligase and six putative ATP-dependent ligases. Two of the ligases are homologs of LigD, a bacterial enzyme that catalyzes end-healing and end-sealing steps during nonhomologous end joining (NHEJ). Agrobacterium LigD1 and AtuLigD2 are composed of a central ligase domain fused to a C-terminal polymerase-like (POL) domain and an N-termi...
