A novel class of elicitin-like genes from Phytophthora infestans.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Elicitins are a family of structurally related proteins that induce hypersensitive response in specific plant species. Two Phytophthora infestans cDNAs, inf2A and inf2B, potentially encoding novel elicitin-like proteins, were isolated from a cDNA library made from infected potato tissue. Multiple sequence alignments and phylogenetic analyses of 19 elicitins and elicitin-like proteins from nine Phytophthora spp. and from Pythium vexans suggest that there are at least five distinct classes within the elicitin family.

Heterologous expression of a basic elicitin from Phytophthora cryptogea in Phytophthora infestans increases its ability to cause leaf necrosis in tobacco.
The cry-b sequence, encoding a basic elicitin (cryptogein B) from Phytophthora cryptogea, was co-transformed into Phytophthora infestans. The copy number of the cry-b sequence varied in co-transformants. Nevertheless, in all cases the alien elicitin gene was transcribed, translated and the protein secreted in vitro from such transformants. Moreover, the secreted cryptogein B from P. infestans c...
متن کاملSilencing of DS2 aminoacylase-like genes confirms basal resistance to Phytophthora infestans in Nicotiana benthamiana.
Nicotiana benthamiana is a potential host to several plant pathogens, and immature leaves of N. benthamiana are susceptible to Phytophthora infestans. In contrast, mature leaves of N. benthamiana are weakly susceptible and show basal resistance to P. infestans. We screened a gene-silenced mature plant showing high resistance to P. infestans, designated as DS2 (Disease suppression 2). The deduce...
متن کاملResistance of nicotiana benthamiana to phytophthora infestans is mediated by the recognition of the elicitor protein INF1
Phytophthora infestans, the agent of potato and tomato late blight disease, produces a 10-kD extracellular protein, INF1 elicitin. INF1 induces a hypersensitive response in a restricted number of plants, particularly those of the genus Nicotiana. In virulence assays with different P. infestans isolates, five Nicotiana species displayed resistance responses. In all of the interactions, after ino...
متن کاملDistribution and expression of elicitin genes in the interspecific hybrid oomycete Phytophthora alni.
Phytophthora alni subsp. alni, P. alni subsp. multiformis, and P. alni subsp. uniformis are responsible for alder disease in Europe. Class I and II elicitin gene patterns of P. alni subsp. alni, P. alni subsp. multiformis, P. alni subsp. uniformis, and the phylogenetically close species P. cambivora and P. fragariae were studied through mRNA sequencing and 3' untranslated region (3'UTR)-specifi...
متن کاملA Novel MAPKK Involved in Cell Death and Defense Signaling.
A high-throughput in planta overexpression screen of a Nicotiana benthamiana cDNA library identified a mitogen activated protein kinase kinase (MAPKK), NbMKK1, as a potent inducer of hypersensitive response (HR)-like cell death. NbMKK1-mediated cell death was attenuated in plants whereby expression of NbSIPK, an ortholog of tobacco SIPK and Arabidopsis AtMPK6, was knocked down by virus-induced ...
