Genes determining pathogenicity to pea are clustered on a supernumerary chromosome in the fungal plant pathogen Nectria haematococca.
Three genes that contribute to the ability of the fungus Nectria haematococca to cause disease on pea plants have been identified. These pea pathogenicity (PEP) genes are within 25 kb of each other and are located on a supernumerary chromosome. Altogether, the PEP gene cluster contains six transcriptional units that are expressed during infection of pea tissue. The biochemical function of only ...
متن کاملKinesin carries the signal.
Conventional kinesin has long been known to be a molecular motor that transports vesicular cargo, but only recently have we begun to understand how it functions in cells. Regulation of kinesin involves self-inhibition in which a head-to-tail interaction prevents microtubule binding. Although the mechanism of motor activation remains to be clarified, recent progress with respect to cargo binding...
متن کاملCombinatorics of Balanced Carries
We study the combinatorics of addition using balanced digits, deriving an analog of Holte’s “amazing matrix” for carries in usual addition. The eigenvalues of this matrix for base b balanced addition of n numbers are found to be 1, 1/b, · · · , 1/b, and formulas are given for its left and right eigenvectors. It is shown that the left eigenvectors can be identified with hyperoctahedral Foulkes c...

Host specificity in plant pathogens is dictated by the presence of certain genes that enable the plant pathogen to circumvent host defenses leading to pathogenicity. Upon recognition of the pathogen, plants initiate defense responses that can include the production of antimicrobial compounds such as phytoalexins. Nectria haematococca mating population VI (MPVI) is a filamentous ascomycete that ...
متن کاملA new Bacteroides conjugative transposon that carries an ermB gene.
The erythromycin resistance gene ermB has been found in a variety of gram-positive bacteria. This gene has also been found in Bacteroides species but only in six recently isolated strains; thus, the gene seems to have entered this genus only recently. One of the six Bacteroides ermB-containing isolates, WH207, could transfer ermB to Bacteroides thetaiotaomicron strain BT4001 by conjugation. WH2...
