Plant Defence Mechanisms

Tomato (Solanum lycopersicum) are consid­ered one of the most important vegetable crops and infected by numbers of different diseases. Studying the use of biological alternatives, instead of chemical substances against plant diseases became necessary for the treatment by beneficial microorganisms endophytes, which can excrete natural products benefits to plant in reducing disease severity, promoting growth and inducing plant defence mechanisms. In this work, three endophytes strains were isolated from tomato stems and their 16srDNA have been found to belong to Bacillus species. The first strain was named BMG100, the second BMG101 and the third BMG102. Two Bacillus strains BMG100 and BMG101 have been found to harbour synthetases genes from three lipopeptides families; surfactin, plipastatin, and iturin (mycosubtilin) which can be detected by degenerated primers designed to detect the presence of synthetases genes encoding lipopeptides. The lipopeptides production was proved by their quantification using High Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC), whereas BMG100 produced 105, 178 and 293 mg/L of plipastatin, mycosubtilin and surfactin, respectively, BMG101 produced 385 mg/L of surfactin and 236 mg/L of mycosubtilin, while BMG102 showed no lipopeptides production.

Enzymatic Depolymerization

Two methods for the preparation of high molecular weight [3H]hyaluronic acid were investigated. In the first one, hydrogen atoms in the molecule were replaced by tritium. This isotopic substitution was performed in aqueous solution using Pd/CaCO3 as the catalyst. In the second method, the high molecular weight hyaluronic acid was alkylated with [3H]methyl bromide in liquid ammonia at a temperature of -33.5 °C. High-performance gel permeation chromatographic separation method was used for the isolation and characterization of the high molecular weight [3H]hyaluronic acid. Molecular weight parameters for the labelled biopolymers were Mw = 128 kDa, Mw/Mn = 1.88 (first method) and Mw = 268 kDa, Mw/Mn = 1.55 (second method). The high molecular weight [3H]hyaluronic acid having Mw = 268 kDa was degraded further by specific hyaluronidase. Products of the enzymatic depolymerization were observed to be identical for both, labelled and cold biopolymer. This finding indicates that the described labelling procedure using [3H]methyl bromide does not induce any major structural rearrangements in the molecule.

Three known impurities in oseltamivir phosphate bulk drug at level 0.1% (ranging from 0.05-0.1%) were detected by gradient reverse phase high performance liquid chromatography. These impurities were preliminarily identified by the mass number of the impurities. Different experiments were conducted and finally the known impurities were synthesized and characterized.

Plant Defence Mechanisms

To counteract plant defence mechanisms, plant viruses have evolved to encode RNA silencing suppressor (RSS) proteins. These proteins can be identified by a range of silencing suppressor assays. Here, we describe a simple method using beet necrotic yellow vein virus (BNYVV) that allows a rapid screening of RSS activity. The viral inoculum consisted of BNYVV RNA1, which encodes proteins involved in viral replication, and two BNYVV-derived replicons: rep3–P30, which expresses the movement protein P30 of tobacco mosaic virus, and rep5–X, which allows the expression of a putative RSS (X). This approach has been validated through the use of several known RSSs. Two potential candidates have been tested and we show that, in our system, the P13 protein of burdock mottle virus displays RSS activity while the P0 protein of cereal yellow dwarf virus-RPV does not.

Genes Encoding

We previously identified two genes, mfm1 and mfm2, with the potential to encode the M-factor mating pheromone of the fission yeast Schizosaccharomyces pombe (J. Davey, EMBO J. 11:951-960, 1992), but further analysis revealed that a mutant strain lacking both genes still produced active M-factor. Here we describe the isolation and characterization of a third M-factor gene, mfm3. A mutant lacking all three genes fails to produce M-factor, indicating that all functional M-factor genes now have been identified. The triple mutant exhibits an absolute mating defect in M cells, a defect that is not rescued by addition of exogenous M-factor. A mutational analysis reveals that all three mfm genes contribute to the production of M-factor. Their transcription is limited to M cells and requires the mat1-Mc and ste11 gene products. Each gene is induced when the cells are starved of nitrogen and further induced by a pheromone signal. Additionally, the signal transduction machinery associated with the pheromone response is required for transcription of the mfm genes in both stimulated and unstimulated cells.
