河南两地市小麦白粉病菌的分子鉴定和进化分析

通过对河南省周口市和商丘市小麦白粉病菌进行分子鉴定及分析,以期为小麦白粉病菌的防治和系统进化奠定基础。对小麦白粉病菌进行了扫描电镜的显微形态观察、核糖体DNA转录间隔区(ITS)序列测定及进化树分析。结果显示:周口和商丘的小麦白粉病菌均属于禾本科布氏白粉菌;系统进化发现,商丘的小麦白粉病菌与地域相距较远的英国、法国、美国的小麦白粉病菌的同源性极高,而与地域很近的周口小麦白粉病菌同源性却不高,推测小麦白粉病菌的进化可能与其自身的小种进化有关。     

家蚕GH18家族几丁质酶的系统进化和BmChi的时期表达分析

昆虫GH18家族几丁质酶主要参与昆虫蜕皮、细胞增殖和免疫等生理过程。为了系统开展家蚕GH18家族基因的研究,通过多物种几丁质酶的系统进化分析鉴定了8个家蚕GH18家族成员,并根据含有糖苷水解酶18(Glyco_18)催化结构域和几丁质结合结构域的不同将其分为6类,其中,各物种的CHT5具有典型几丁质酶结构。家蚕GH18家族成员中,BmChiR-1具有5个Glyco_18催化结构域和6个几丁质结合结构域,其它7个成员均只有1个Glyco_18催化结构域,BmCHT12还有1个ChitnaseA_N端结构域。8个家蚕GH18家族成员的基因分布在7条染色体上。通过半定量RT-PCR调查家蚕CHT5基因Bm-Chi在家蚕各发育时期的转录表达模式,该基因在蜕皮、化蛹、羽化等发育时期均有高水平表达,推测BmChi在蚕体旧表皮几丁质的降解过程中发挥重要作用。

Molecular analysis of the genus Asparagus based on matK sequences and its application to identify A. racemosus, a medicinally phytoestrogenic species

The plant Asparagus racemosus is one of the most widely used sources of phytoestrogens because of its high content of the steroidal saponins, shatavarins I-IV, in roots. The dry root of A. racemosus, known as "Rak-Sam-Sip" in Thai, is one of the most popular herbal medicines, used as an anti-inflammatory, an aphrodisiac and a galactagogue. Recently, the interest in plant-derived estrogens has increased tremendously, making A. racemosus particularly important and a possible target for fraudulent labeling. However, the identification of A. racemosus is generally difficult due to its similar morphology to other Asparagus spp. Thus, accurate authentication of A. racemosus is essential. In this study, 1557-bp nucleotide sequences of the maturase K (matK) gene of eight Asparagus taxa were analyzed. A phylogenetic relationship based on the matK gene was also constructed. Ten polymorphic sites of nucleotide substitutions were found within the matK sequences. A. racemosus showed different nucleotide substitutions to the other species. A polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism (PCR-RFLP) analysis of the matK gene was developed to discriminate A. racemosus from others. Only the 650-bp PCR product from A. racemosus could be digested with BssKI into two fragments of 397 and 253-bp while the products of other species remained undigested. Ten commercially crude drugs were analyzed and revealed that eight samples were derived from A. racemosus while two samples of that were not. Thus, the PCR-RFLP analysis of matK gene was shown to be an effective method for authentication of the medicinally phytoestrogenic species, A. racemosus.

大蕉枯萎病病原菌的分离、鉴定和致病性测定

从表现枯萎病症状的大蕉球茎病组织中获得10株分离物,采用形态学分类方法将这些分离物鉴定为尖孢镰刀菌.利用分离物DJ1的rDNA-ITS区序列和IGS序列开展的系统发育分析迸一步确定DJ1为尖孢镰刀菌.对不同香蕉品系的致病性测定结果表明,DJ1对粉蕉(Musa sp.ABB)的致病性最强,其次是特威(Musa sp.AAA)、巴西蕉(Musa sp.AAA)和泰蕉(Musa sp.AAA),对皇帝蕉(Musa sp.AA)的致病性较弱,根据DJ1的寄主范围确定DJ1为尖孢镰刀菌古巴专化型生理4号小种.对IGS序列的进一步比对分析表明DJ1不属于热带4号生理小种菌株.这些结果为大蕉枯萎病的防治提供了重要依据和指导.     

7种昆虫质型多角体病毒基因组密码对的使用模式分析

质型多角体病毒(cypoviruses,CPV)是昆虫常见病原微生物。采用生物信息学方法对7种昆虫CPV基因组编码序列进行密码对使用模式分析,探究昆虫CPV基因组特征。分析结果表明:昆虫CPV基因组中密码对的使用是非随机的,密码对组合NNA→ANN、NNG→GNN、NNU→CNN、NNU→UNN中的多数密码对是CPV负偏好性密码对,密码对组合NNA→CNN、NNA→UNN、NNG→CNN、NNU→GNN中的多数密码对是CPV正偏好性密码对;残值最高的10个密码对与残值最低的10个密码对中有4个共用密码子(AAA、AAG、GAU、UAU),进一步说明密码对使用的偏好性;不同CPV间的基因组密码对使用偏好性程度相近,但极端偏好性密码对种类不同。同一电泳型CPV在聚类分析中的距离较近,说明同一电泳型CPV的基因组密码对使用模式相似,并且系统发育分析结果与基于密码对使用模式的聚类分析结果一致,说明CPV基因组密码对使用模式分析可用于研究其基因组进化。昆虫CPV基因组密码对使用具有偏好性,这种偏好性是其基因组特征的一种表现。     

Phylogenetic and structural studies of a novel equine papillomavirus identified from aural plaques

Papillomaviruses (PVs) infect a wide range of animal species and show great genetic diversity. To date, excluding equine sarcoids, only three species of PVs were identified associated with lesions in horses: Equus caballus papillomavirus 1 (EcPV1-cutaneous), EcPV2 (genital) and EcPV3 (aural plaques). In this study, we identified a novel equine PV from aural plaques, which we designated EcPV4. Cutaneous samples from horses with lesions that were microscopically diagnosed as aural plaques were subjected to DNA extraction, amplification and sequencing. Rolling circle amplification and inverse PCR with specific primers confirmed the presence of an approximately 8 kb circular genome. The full-length EcPV4 L1 major capsid protein sequence has 1488 nucleotides (495 amino acids). EcPV4 had a sequence identity of only 53.3%, 60.2% and 51.7% when compared with the published sequences for EcPV1, EcPV2 and EcPV3, respectively. A Bayesian phylogenetic analysis indicated that EcPV4 clusters with EcPV2, but not with EcPV1 and EcPV3. Using the current PV classification system that is based on the nucleotide sequence of L1, we could not define the genus of the newly identified virus. Therefore, a structural analysis of the L1 protein was carried out to aid in this classification because EcPV4 cause lesion similar to the lesion caused by EcPV3. A comparison of the superficial loops demonstrated a distinct amino acid conservation pattern between EcPV4/EcPV2 and EcPV4/EcPV3. These results demonstrate the presence of a new equine PV species and that structural studies could be useful in the classification of PVs.     

The first detection of influenza in the Finnish pig population: a retrospective study

Background

Swine influenza is an infectious acute respiratory disease of pigs caused by influenza A virus. We investigated the time of entry of swine influenza into the Finnish pig population. We also describe the molecular detection of two types of influenza A (H1N1) viruses in porcine samples submitted in 2009 and 2010.This retrospective study was based on three categories of samples: blood samples collected for disease monitoring from pigs at major slaughterhouses from 2007 to 2009; blood samples from pigs in farms with a special health status taken in 2008 and 2009; and diagnostic blood samples from pigs in farms with clinical signs of respiratory disease in 2008 and 2009. The blood samples were tested for influenza A antibodies with an antibody ELISA. Positive samples were further analyzed for H1N1, H3N2, and H1N2 antibodies with a hemagglutination inhibition test. Diagnostic samples for virus detection were subjected to influenza A M-gene-specific real-time RT-PCR and to pandemic influenza A H1N1-specific real-time RT-PCR. Positive samples were further analyzed with RT-PCRs designed for this purpose, and the PCR products were sequenced and sequences analyzed phylogenetically.

Results

In the blood samples from pigs in special health class farms producing replacement animals and in diagnostic blood samples, the first serologically positive samples originated from the period July–August 2008. In samples collected for disease monitoring, < 0.1%, 0% and 16% were positive for antibodies against influenza A H1N1 in the HI test in 2007, 2008, and 2009, respectively. Swine influenza A virus of avian-like H1N1 was first detected in diagnostic samples in February 2009. In 2009 and 2010, the avian-like H1N1 virus was detected on 12 and two farms, respectively. The pandemic H1N1 virus (A(H1N1)pdm09) was detected on one pig farm in 2009 and on two farms in 2010.

Conclusions

Based on our study, swine influenza of avian-like H1N1 virus was introduced into the Finnish pig population in 2008 and A(H1N1)pdm09 virus in 2009. The source of avian-like H1N1 infection could not be determined. Cases of pandemic H1N1 in pigs coincided with the period when the A(H1N1)pdm09 virus was spread in humans in Finland.
