Generation of a Ustilago maydis ade2 Mutant
نویسندگان
چکیده
The need exists to create the auxotrophic mutants for basidiomycete Ustilago maydis to allow selection of gene transformants in minimal growth media. The ADE2 gene was identified by homology with Saccharomyces cerevisiae. Adenine-requiring auxotrophic mutants were effectively created by homologous recombination in protoplasts using a standard plasmid containing the ADE2 locus interrupted by a phleomycin resistance gene, selected on standard complex media. The knockout ade2 mutant produced grows on minimal, defined medium only if supplemented with adenine.

QSARS OF ANTI-FUNGAL ACTIVITY OF FURAN CARBOXANILIDE DERIVATIVES AGAINST WILD AND MUTANT STRAINS OF USTILAGO MAYDIS
The structural requirements for the inhibitor activity of various furan carboxanilide derivatives against succinate dehydrogenase complex (SDC) activity in mitochondria of either wild or mutant strains of Ustilago maydis were investigated with the aid of Hansch QSAR analysis. It has been found that the inhibitor activity against both types of enzymes is best related to the ??? or ??M of th...
متن کاملComplementation of Ustilago maydis MAPK mutants by a wheat leaf rust, Puccinia triticina homolog: potential for functional analyses of rust genes.
From a large expressed sequence tag (EST) database representing several developmental stages of Puccinia triticina, we discovered a mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) with homology to kinases with known pathogenic functions in other fungi. This PtMAPK1 is similar to the Ustilago maydis MAPK, Ubc3/Kpp2, but has a longer N-terminal extension of 43 amino acids (aa) with identities to U. maydi...

متن کاملCloning and disruption of the ornithine decarboxylase gene of Ustilago maydis: evidence for a role of polyamines in its dimorphic transition.
The gene encoding ornithine decarboxylase (ODC) from Ustilago maydis was cloned. A conserved PCR product amplified from U. maydis DNA was synthesized and used to screen a genomic library of the fungus. Alignment of its deduced protein sequence with those of other cloned ODCs showed a high degree of homology. Gene replacement was obtained by removal of a central part of the gene and insertion of...
متن کاملCharacterization of the Largest Effector Gene Cluster of Ustilago maydis
In the genome of the biotrophic plant pathogen Ustilago maydis, many of the genes coding for secreted protein effectors modulating virulence are arranged in gene clusters. The vast majority of these genes encode novel proteins whose expression is coupled to plant colonization. The largest of these gene clusters, cluster 19A, encodes 24 secreted effectors. Deletion of the entire cluster results ...
