Phaseolotoxin-insensitive ornithine carbamoyltransferase of Pseudomonas syringae pv. phaseolicola: basis for immunity to phaseolotoxin.
Cell-free extracts from phaseolotoxin-producing strains of Pseudomonas syringae pv. phaseolicola grown at 18 degrees C, the optimum temperature for phaseolotoxin production, contain an ornithine carbamoyltransferase activity that is insensitive to phaseolotoxin. Extracts from the same strains grown at 30 degrees C, a temperature at which little or no detectable phaseolotoxin is produced, and fr...
متن کاملIn Pseudomonas syringae pv. phaseolicola, expression of the argK gene, encoding the phaseolotoxin-resistant ornithine carbamoyltransferase, is regulated indirectly by temperature and directly by a precursor resembling carbamoylphosphate.
Pseudomonas syringae pv. phaseolicola synthesizes a non-host-specific toxin, phaseolotoxin, and also synthesizes a phaseolotoxin-resistant ornithine carbamoyltransferase (ROCT) to protect itself from its own toxin. ROCT is encoded by argK, which is expressed coordinately with phaseolotoxin synthesis at 18 degrees C. To investigate the regulatory mechanisms of this system, null mutants were cons...
متن کاملOrnithine Transcarbamylase ArgK Plays a Dual role for the Self-defense of Phaseolotoxin Producing Pseudomonas syringae pv. phaseolicola
Pseudomonas syringae is a phytopathogenic bacterium widely spread on terrestrial plants. Sulfodiaminophosphinyl tripeptide Phaseolotoxins (PHTs), produced by P. syringae pv. phaseolicola and P. syringae pv. actinidiae, represent a kind of antimetabolic phytotoxins. PHTs inhibit host cell Ornithine transcarbamylase (OTCase) activity and induce Arginine auxotrophic phenotype. The biosynthesis of ...
متن کاملThe global arginine regulator ArgR controls expression of argF in Pseudomonas syringae pv. phaseolicola but is not required for the synthesis of phaseolotoxin or for the regulated expression of argK.
In Pseudomonas syringae pv. phaseolicola the enzyme ornithine carbamoyltransferase (OCTase), encoded by argF, is negatively regulated by argR, similar to what has been reported for Pseudomonas aeruginosa. However, production of the phaseolotoxin-resistant OCTase encoded by argK, synthesis of phaseolotoxin, and infectivity for bean pods occur independently of the ArgR protein.
متن کاملPseudomonas syringae pv. phaseolicola: from 'has bean' to supermodel.
UNLABELLED Pseudomonas syringae pv. phaseolicola causes halo blight of the common bean, Phaseolus vulgaris, worldwide and remains difficult to control. Races of the pathogen cause either disease symptoms or a resistant hypersensitive response on a series of differentially reacting bean cultivars. The molecular genetics of the interaction between P. syringae pv. phaseolicola and bean, and the ev...
