RNAi-mediated oncogene silencing confers resistance to crown gall tumorigenesis.
Crown gall disease, caused by the soil bacterium Agrobacterium tumefaciens, results in significant economic losses in perennial crops worldwide. A. tumefaciens is one of the few organisms with a well characterized horizontal gene transfer system, possessing a suite of oncogenes that, when integrated into the plant genome, orchestrate de novo auxin and cytokinin biosynthesis to generate tumors. ...
متن کاملThe bases of crown gall tumorigenesis.
The nine decades since Smith and Townsend demonstrated that Agrobacterium tumefaciens causes plant tumors (95) have been marked by a series of surprises. Among the most important of these was the report in 1958 that these tumors could be excised and propagated in vitro without exogenous plant hormones (7). Equally important were a series of reports beginning about the same time that tumors rele...
متن کاملRNAi-mediated DNA silencing
Tucker, and Edwin Chapman (University of Wisconsin, Madison, WI) find that PIP 2 is a plasma membrane dock for synaptotagmin-1 (syt), a transmembrane protein localized in secretory vesicle membranes, when calcium is absent. This dock may ensure speedy and directed fusion in response to calcium influx. The syt dock has two calcium-binding domains in its cytoplasmic region, called C 2 A and C 2 B...
متن کاملStrain-dependent temperature-sensitive phase in crown gall tumorigenesis.
The effect of high temperature treatments on the early stages of crown gall tumorigenesis in sunflowers was investigated. Treatments of 32 C initiated at various times during the first ten days after infection had a similar effect on tumors induced by Agrobacterium tumefaciens strains B(6) and C58. Tumor growth was sensitive to 32 C until 60 to 72 hours after infection and was stimulated by 32 ...
متن کاملRas Oncogene-Mediated Progressive Silencing of Extracellular Superoxide Dismutase in Tumorigenesis
Extracellular superoxide dismutase (SOD3) is a secreted enzyme that uses superoxide anion as a substrate in a dismutase reaction that results in the formation of hydrogen peroxide. Both of these reactive oxygen species affect growth signaling in cells. Although SOD3 has growth-supporting characteristics, the expression of SOD3 is downregulated in epithelial cancer cells. In the current work, we...
