Mutational analysis of the virulence region of an Agrobacterium tumefaciens Ti plasmid.
Forty-nine Tn3 and Tn5 transposition insertion mutations were introduced into the virulence region of the pTiA6NC plasmid of Agrobacterium tumefaciens. Five Tn5 transposition mutations from an earlier study (D. Garfinkel and E. Nester, J. Bacteriol. 144:732-743, 1980) were also mapped more accurately. These mutations defined five separate loci within the virulence region. Two Tn3 insertions int...
متن کاملComplementation analysis of Agrobacterium tumefaciens Ti plasmid mutations affecting oncogenicity.
A wide host range cosmid vector has been constructed by insertion of the lambda cos site into the plasmid pRK2501. This cosmid, which is maintained in Agrobacterium tumefaciens and is compatible with the Ti plasmid, has been used to make a clone bank of the A. tumefaciens pTiA6 plasmid. Several pTiA6 cosmids have been used to complement Tn5-induced Ti plasmid mutations. Five avirulent mutations...
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 کاملTi plasmid-controlled chromosome transfer in Agrobacterium tumefaciens.
In octopine-type A. tumefaciens R10, transfer of chromosomal arginine degradation genes (arc genes) was observed under conditions in which Ti plasmid transfer took place. However, transconjugants that had acquired the arc genes but not the Ti plasmid were recovered. During this process, several other chromosomal genes, such as genes encoding phage resistances or genes complementing a galactose ...
متن کاملThe Agrobacterium tumefaciens Ti Plasmid Virulence Gene virE2 Reduces Sri Lankan Cassava Mosaic Virus Infection in Transgenic Nicotiana benthamiana Plants
Cassava mosaic disease is a major constraint to cassava cultivation worldwide. In India, the disease is caused by Indian cassava mosaic virus (ICMV) and Sri Lankan cassava mosaic virus (SLCMV). The Agrobacterium Ti plasmid virulence gene virE2, encoding a nuclear-localized, single-stranded DNA binding protein, was introduced into Nicotiana benthamiana to develop tolerance against SLCMV. Leaf di...
