Evidence that polygalacturonase is a virulence determinant in Erwinia carotovora.
Polygalacturonase (PG) was purified from Erwinia carotovora EC. A hybrid cosmid, pSH711, that encodes PG activity but not pectate lyase activity was identified from an E. carotovora genomic library by an immunological screening method. A cell extract of Escherichia coli cells containing pSH711 was able to produce plant tissue maceration when spotted on carrot, potato, or turnip slices. In addit...
متن کاملPolygalacturonase of Erwinia carotovora.
The polygalacturonase, clearly differentiated from polygalacturonic acid trans-eliminase, produced in the culture fluid of Erwinia carotovora was purified 56-fold by means of acetone precipitation, acetate butfer extraction, and two successive treatments by chromatography on carboxymethyl cellulose. The purified enzyme is specific for nonmethoxylated polygalacturonic acid. It shows an optimum p...
متن کاملRegulatory networks controlling virulence in the plant pathogen Erwinia carotovora ssp. carotovora
Erwinia carotovora ssp. carotovora (Ecc) is a Gram-negative enterobacterium that causes soft rot in potato and other plants. The main virulence factors, secreted extracellular enzymes, degrade the plant cell wall, leading to plant tissue maceration. Extracellular enzymes, cellulases, proteases and pectinolytic enzymes are subject to complex regulatory networks including quorum sensing, two-comp...
متن کاملGenomic diversity of Erwinia carotovora subsp. carotovora and its correlation with virulence.
We used genetic and biochemical methods to examine the genomic diversity of the enterobacterial plant pathogen Erwinia carotovora subsp. carotovora. The results obtained with each method showed that E. carotovora subsp. carotovora strains isolated from one ecological niche, potato plants, are surprisingly diverse compared to related pathogens. A comparison of 23 partial mdh sequences revealed a...
متن کاملRole of RpoS in virulence and stress tolerance of the plant pathogen Erwinia carotovora subsp. carotovora.
The plant-pathogenic bacterium Erwinia carotovora subsp. carotovora causes plant disease mainly through a number of extracellular plant-cell-wall-degrading enzymes. In this study, the ability of an rpoS mutant of the Er. carotovora subsp. carotovora strain SCC3193 to infect plants and withstand environmental stress was characterized. This mutant was found to be sensitive to osmotic and oxidativ...
