Specificity of Ustilago maydis killer proteins.
Bacteria and fungi were tested for sensitivity to Ustilago maydis killer strains carrying virus-like particles. Various species taxonomically related to U. maydis were sensitive.
متن کاملThe virally encoded killer proteins from Ustilago maydis
Several strains of Ustilago maydis, a causal agent of corn smut disease, exhibit a ‘killer’ phenotype that is due to persistent infection by double-stranded RNA Totiviruses. These viruses produce potent killer proteins that are secreted by the host. This is a rare example of virus/host symbiosis in that these viruses are dependent upon host survival and, to that end, produce antifungal proteins...
متن کاملسیتولوژی Ustilago maydis
رفتار هسته در تلیوسپور، بازیدیوسپور و میسلیومهای Ustilago maydis مورد بررسی قرار گرفت. جهت کشت تلیوسپورها از محیط PDA + 10% دکستروز استفاده گردید. مطالعه رفتار هسته با استفاده از میکروسکوپ اپیفلورسنت و رنگآمیزی با دو رنگ اتیدیوم برماید و اکردین اورنج صورت پذیرفت. هسته در تلیوسپور کروی و بزرگ و اکثر فضای داخلی آن را اشغال نموده است. بازیدیوسپورها (اسپوریدیوم) به صورت غیرانگلی و به روش جوانهز...
متن کاملProcessing and secretion of a virally encoded antifungal toxin in transgenic tobacco plants: evidence for a Kex2p pathway in plants.
Ustilago maydis is a fungal pathogen of maize. Some strains of U. maydis encode secreted polypeptide toxins capable of killing other susceptible strains of U. maydis. We show here that one of these toxins, the KP6 killer toxin, is synthesized by transgenic tobacco plants containing the viral toxin cDNA under the control of a cauliflower mosaic virus promoter. The two components of the KP6 toxin...
متن کاملGlycolysis in Ustilago maydis.
The kinetic parameters of the 10 glycolytic enzymes and glycolytic fluxes were determined for the first time in Ustilago maydis. Enzyme activities in yeast grown in minimal medium and harvested in the stationary stage were twofold higher than those from yeast grown in rich medium. In contrast, in yeast harvested in the exponential stage, the enzyme activities were higher in cells grown in rich ...
