Galls are spherical wart-like structures similar to tumors.The genus Agrobacterium has a wide host range:Overall, Agrobacterium can transfer T-DNA to a broad group of plants.Yet, individual Agrobacterium strains have a limited host range.The molecular basis for the st
26、rain-specific host range is unknown.Many monocot plants can be transformed (now), although they do not form crown gall tumors.Under lab conditions, T-DNA can be transferred to yeast, other fungi, and even animal and human cells.Why is Agrobacterium used for producing transgenic plants?The T-DNA elem
27、ent is defined by its borders but not the sequences within. So researchers can substitute the T-DNA coding region with any DNA sequence without any effect on its transfer from Agrobacterium into the plant.Steps of Agrobacterium-plant cell interactionCell-cell recognitionSignal transduction and trans

29、r phosphate derivatives called opines (ocs, octopine(章鱼碱); mas, mannopine(甘露碱甘露碱 ); and ags, agropine).Agrobacteria are usually classified based on the type of opines specified by the bacterial T-DNA.Ti PlasmidAgrobacterium-induced plant tumors contain high concentrations of :Plant hormones (auxin,
30、cytokinin)Opines (octopine, nopaline胭脂氨酸 )Agrobacterium-host cell recognition is a two-step process1.Loosely bound step: acetylated polysaccharides are synthesized.2.Strong binding step: bound bacteria synthesize cellulose filaments to stabilize the initial binding, resulting in a tight association
31、between Agrobacterium and the host cell.chvA export of beta-1,2-glucan chvB b1-2 glucan sybthesispscA the mutants that defined the locus were initially isolated as having an altered polysaccharide composition; they were nonfluorescent on media containing Leucophor or Calcofluor, indicating a defect
32、in the production of cellulose fibrils. Receptors are involved in initial bindingPlant vitronectin(玻连蛋白 )-like protein (PVN, 55kDa) was found on the surface of plant cell. This protein is probably involved in initial bacteria/plant cell binding.PVN is only immunologically related to animal vitronect
33、in.Animal vitronectin is an important component of the extracellular matrix and is also an receptor for several bacterial strains. Receptors are involved in initial bindingAside from PVN, rhicadhesin-binding protein was found in pea roots.Also, rat1(arabinogalactan protein; AGP) and rat2(potential c
34、ell-wall protein) are involved.Plant signalsWounded plants secrete sap with acidic pH (5.0 to 5.8) and a high content of various phenolic compounds (lignin, flavonoid precursors) serving as chemical attractants to agrobacteria and stimulants for virgene expression.Among these phenolic compounds, ace
35、tosyringone (AS) is the most effective. Plant signalsSugars like glucose and galactose also stimulate vir gene expression when AS is limited or absent. These sugars are probably acting through the chvE gene to activate vir genes.Low opine levels further enhance vir gene expression in the presence of
36、 AS.Plant signalsThese compounds stimulate the autophosphorylation of a transmembranereceptor kinase VirA at its His-474. It in turn transfers its phosphate group to the Asp-52 of the cytoplasmic VirG protein.Plant signalsVirG then binds to the vir box enhancer elements in the promoters of the virA,
37、 virB, virC, virD, virEand virG operons, upregulating transcription.Sugars interact with ChvE (glucose/galactose binding protein) which interacts with VirA through its periplasmic domain.Structure of the T-DNAThe existence and orientation of right border is absolutely required for Agrobacterium path
38、ogenicity but not the left border. Transfer of the T-DNA is polar from right to left.Structure of the T-DNAAlthough right border and left border are required to delimit the transferred segments, the T-DNA content itself has no effect on the efficiency of transfer.Therefore, researchers replace most
39、of the T-DNA with DNA of interest, making Agrobacterium a vector for genetic transformation of plants.Production of T-strandEvery induced Agrobacterium cell produces one T-strand.VirD1 and VirD2 are involved in the initial T-strand processing, acting as site-and strand-specific endonucleases.Product
40、ion of T-strandAfter cleavage, VirD2 covalently attaches to the 5 end of the T-strand at the right border nick and to the 5-end of the remaining bottom strand of the Ti plasmid at the left border nick by its tyrosine 29.Production of T-strandVirC1 enhances T-strand production by binding to overdrive
41、.Overdrive is a cis-active 24-base pair sequence adjacent to the right border of the T-DNA. It stimulates tumor formation by increasing the level of T-DNA processing.Formation of the T-complexThe T-complex is composed of at least three components: one T-strand DNA molecule, one VirD2 protein, and ar
42、ound 600 VirE2 proteins.Formation of the T-complexWhether VirE2 associates with T-strand before or after the intercellular transport is not clear.Formation of the T-complexIf VirE2 associates with the T-strand after intercellular transport, VirE1 is probably involved in preventing VirE2-T-strand bin
43、ding.Judging from the size of the mature T-complex (13nm in diameter) and the inner dimension of T-pilus (10nm width), the T-strand is probably associated with VirE2 after intercellular transport. Intercellular transportTransport of the T-complex into the host cell most likely occurs through a type
44、IV secretion system.In Agrobacterium, the type IV transporter (called T-pilus) comprises proteins encoded by virD4 and by the 11 open reading frames of the virB operon.Intercellular transportIntercellular transport of T-DNA is probably energy dependent, requiring ATPase activities from VirB4 and Vir
45、B11.Physical contact between Agrobacterium and the plant cell is required to initiate T-complex export. Without recipient plant cells, T-strands accumulate when vir genes are induced.Nuclear ImportBecause the large size of T-complex (50,000 kD, 13nm in diameter), the nuclear import of T-complex requ
46、ires active nuclear import.The T-complex nuclear import is presumably mediated by the T-complex proteins, VirD2 and VirE2. Both of them have nuclear-localizing activities.Nuclear ImportVirD2 is imported into the cell nucleus by a mechanism conserved between animal, yeast and plant cells (bipartite c
47、onsensus motif).VirE2 has a plant-specific nuclear localization mechanism. It does not localize to the nucleus of yeast or animal cells.Nuclear ImportIn host plant cells VirD2 and VirE2 likely cooperate with cellular factors to mediate T-complex nuclear import and integration into the host genome.Th
48、ese host factors have been identified through two-hybrid screens, however their functions are not clear.T-DNA integration is not highly sequence-specificFlanking sequence tags (FSTs) analysis showed no obvious site preference for integration throughout the genome.About 40% of the integrations are in
49、 genes and more of them are in introns.Non-homologous end-joining (NHEJ) occurs during T-DNA integrationThe mechanism of NHEJ makes deletions after T-DNA integration a common phenomenon.Events of NHEJ in AgrobacteriumT-DNA integrationIntegration is initiated by the 3(LB) of the T-DNA invading a poly
50、 T-rich site of the host DNAA duplex is formed between the upstream region of the 3-end of T-DNA and the top strand of the host DNA.The 3-end of T-DNA is ligated to the host DNA after a region downstream of the duplex is degraded.Events of NHEJ in AgrobacteriumT-DNA integrationA nick in the upper ho
51、st DNA strand is created downstream of the duplex and used to initiate the synthesis of the complementary strand of the invading T-DNA.Events of NHEJ in AgrobacteriumT-DNA integration The right end of the T-DNA is ligated to the bottom strand of the host DNA. This pairing frequently involves a G and
52、 another nucleotide upstream of it.Plant genes involved in transformationMutant screen, 2-hybrid screens and other methods have revealed a number of plant genes that are involved in transformation.Rat mutants (resistant to Agrobacterium transformation), VIP genes and other genes were isolated.Plant
