Ss-Bi1 encodes a putative BAX inhibitor-1 protein that is required for full virulence of Sclerotinia sclerotiorum

Sclerotinia sclerotiorum is a destructive necrotrophic plant pathogen with global distribution. Although S. sclerotiorum has been studied extensively, substantial research on aspects of the pathogen's ability to cause disease is still needed. Bax inhibitor-1 protein functions as a suppressor of programmed cell death and is involved in the response to biotic and abiotic stress in animals, plants and yeast. In this study, we functionally characterized a putative Bax inhibitor-1 protein, Ss-Bi1, from S. sclerotiorum. Ss-Bi1 is predicted to contain a BAX inhibitor-1-like super family domain and shows significant homology with many BAX inhibitor-1 proteins. High expression levels of Ss-Bi1 were observed in hyphae under various stresses. Targeted silencing of Ss-Bi1 resulted in reduced virulence in host plants. Ss-Bi1 gene-silenced strains were more sensitive to heat stress and ER stress than the wild-type strain. The results suggest that Ss-Bi1 encodes a putative BAX inhibitor-1 protein that is required for full virulence of S. sclerotiorum.

crp缺失对猪霍乱沙门氏菌强弱毒株毒力的影响

猪霍乱沙门氏菌C500株是用化学方法将强毒株C78-1致弱,用于预防仔猪副伤寒的弱毒疫苗株,虽具有较好的免疫原性,但仍有一定的残余毒力。SC-1是临床分离的猪霍乱沙门氏菌强毒株。为了研制更加安全的弱毒株,利用重组自杀性质粒通过接合转移的方法构建了猪霍乱沙门氏菌C500株、C78-1及SC-1的crp缺失株。C78-1、crp-C78-1、SC-1、crp-SC-1、C500、crp-C500 6个毒株经小鼠毒力试验检测。LD50结果显示,crp缺失对猪霍乱沙门氏菌的毒力影响不大,毒力只是略为降低,其中以crp-C500株毒力最弱。综上所述,可以选用crp-C500株毒株作为猪霍乱沙门氏菌弱毒疫苗株的选择。     

一株鸡传染性法氏囊病病毒基因组测序及其分子特征

[目的]测定一株鸡传染性法氏囊病病毒基因组序列及其分子特征。[方法]分离出一株具有特殊分子特征的鸡传染性法氏囊病病毒（IBDV）超强毒株（vvIBDV）HLJ-0504,并对其基因组进行了克隆和测序。[结果]序列分析显示,HLJ-0504的基因组A节段属于超强毒株,而其B节段则来源于另外一个独特的祖先。动物实验表明,HLJ-0504对SPF雏鸡的致病率和致死率分别为100%和86.7%。[结论]具有独特基因组B节段的vvIBDV仍在我国流行,我国IBDV的进化特征存在多样性。IBDV的毒力不是由基因组的A或B单独决定的。     

小麦条锈菌毒性变异与DNA多态性的相关性

为了解小麦条锈茵毒性和DNA多态性之间的相关性,为SSR标记技术在条锈茵群体遗传分析中的应用提供理论依据,对90个小麦条锈茵茵系进行了毒性和DNA多态性分析.毒性分析发现17种致病类型或生理小种,SSR分子标记分析发现75个基因型,DNA指纹的多态性远比毒性的多态性丰富.不同小种有相同或相近的DNA指纹,同一小种可能有不同的DNA指纹.毒性特征和DNA多态性之间并不存在相关性,SSR标记技术可用于小麦条锈茵群体遗传分析.

Evolutionary characteristics of morbilliviruses during serial passages in vitro: Gradual attenuation of virus virulence

The genus Morbillivirus is classified into the family Paramyxoviridae, and is composed of 6 members, namely measles virus (MV), rinderpest virus (RPV), peste-des-petits-ruminants virus (PPRV), canine distemper virus (CDV), phocine distemper virus (PDV) and cetacean morbillivirus (CeMV). The MV, RPV, PPRV and CDV have been successfully attenuated through their serial passages in vitro for the production of live vaccines. It has been demonstrated that the morbilliviral virulence in animals was progressively attenuated with their consecutive passages in vitro. However, only a few reports were involved in explanation of an attenuation-related mechanism on them until many years after the establishment of a quasispecies theory. RNA virus quasispecies arise from rapid evolution of viruses with high mutation rate during genomic replication, and play an important role in gradual loss of viral virulence by serial passages. Here, we overviewed the development of live-attenuated vaccine strains against morbilliviruses by consecutive passages in vitro, and further discussed a related mechanism concerning the relationship between virulence attenuation and viral evolution.     

小麦白粉病菌越夏,越冬和春季菌源毒性结构比较

 分析了1992年和1993年不同时期采集的小麦白粉病菌越夏、越冬和春季菌源共238个菌株的生理小种、毒性基因结构和对9个推广品种的毒力频率。结果表明三种菌源在生理小种和毒性基因组成及出现频率是相似的,对9个推广品种的毒力频率均较高。这样在白粉病菌毒性和品种抗病性研究中,可以采集应用越夏和越冬菌株标样,避免了夏季高温季节保存菌株的工作;而且从毒性结构方面进一步证实白粉病菌主要以分生孢子在夏季侵染高海拔地区的自生麦苗而越夏,再逐渐扩展至秋播麦苗越冬后导致春季大田发病,病菌的子囊孢子在平原地区侵染循环上作用不大。
