Structural characterization of the virB operon on the hairy-root-inducing plasmid A4.
The hairy-root-inducing plasmid A4 (pRiA4) is capable of conferring tumorigenic symptoms on plants upon infection by its host bacterium, Agrobacterium rhizogenes. The virB operon on pRiA4 has been sequenced and found to be composed of 11 genes, virB1 to virB11, whose products mostly appear to be associated with the cell membrane. A novel structural characteristic is frequent overlappings betwee...
متن کاملSignal structure for transcriptional activation in the upstream regions of virulence genes on the hairy-root-inducing plasmid A4.
The inducibility of the vir genes (virA, -B, -C, -D, -E, and -G) on pRiA4 was examined at the transcriptional level, and the RNA-starting sites were determined by S1-nuclease mapping and primer-extension experiments. All of these genes were inducible, while virA, -E, and -G were transcribed even under noninducing conditions. Each transcription of virB, -C, -D, and -E was initiated at one partic...
متن کاملPhysical modalities inducing immunogenic tumor cell death for cancer immunotherapy
The concept of immunogenic cancer cell death (ICD), as originally observed during the treatment with several chemotherapeutics or ionizing irradiation, has revolutionized the view on the development of new anticancer therapies. ICD is defined by endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress response, reactive oxygen species (ROS) generation, emission of danger-associated molecular patterns and induction of...
متن کاملQuorum-sensing signal production by Agrobacterium vitis strains and their tumor-inducing and tartrate-catabolic plasmids.
Agrobacterium vitis strains, their tumor-inducing (pTi) and tartrate utilization (pTr) plasmid transconjugants and grapevine tumors were analyzed for the presence of N-acyl-homoserine lactones (AHLs). All wild-type A. vitis strains produced long-chain signals. PCR analysis of the A. vitis long-chain AHL synthase gene, avsI, showed the predicted amplicon. Agrobacterium tumefaciens UBAPF2 harbori...
متن کاملGenetic and physical map of plasmid NR1: comparison with other IncFII antibiotic resistance plasmids.
Plasmids are circular extrachromosomal genetic elements that are ubiquitous among the bacterial genera and are also found in some eucaryotic organisms (17, 39, 82, 95). Plasmids encode a number of specialized functions that are generally nonessential for their bacterial hosts. However, these plasmid-encoded functions provide their host cells with versatility and adaptability for growth and surv...
