摘要
HpaXm,encoded by the hpaXm gene of Xanthomonas citri subsp.malvacearum(Xcm),is a novel harpin protein described from cotton leaf blight bacteria.We predicted that the N-terminal leader peptide(1- MNSLNTQIGANSSFL- 15) was a putative signal peptide of hpaXm,and determined here whether this segment are related to HpaXm transport or the pathogenicity of the pathogen Xcm.First,transgenic tobacco lines expressing the full-length hpaXm and the signal peptide-like segment-deleted mutant hpaXm△LP were developed using transformation mediated by Agrobacterium tumefaciens.Then the extracted soluble-protein activity was determined.Additionally the defensive responses and resistance to tobacco mosaic virus(TMV) of transgenic tobacco were identified.Finally,differences in the association sites between the endogenously expressed hpaXm and hpaXm△LP in transgenic tobacco tissues were demonstrated.Molecular identification showed that the target genes had already integrated into the recipient genomes of transgenic tobacco respectively and were expressed normally.Soluble proteins extracted from plants transformed with hpaXm and hpaXm△LP were bio-active.Defensive responses of hpaXm and hpaXm△LP as micro-HR were observed on transgenic tobacco leaves.Disease resistance bioassays showed that tobacco plants transformed with hpaXm had slightly enhanced resistance to TMV compared to those transformed with hpaXm△LP.Immune colloidal-gold detection showed that the hpaXm expressed in transgenic tobaccos was transferred to the plasma membrane and the cell wall of tobacco,but in the deletion mutant hpaXm△LP expressed in transgenic tobacco could not cross the membrane to reach the cell wall.In summary,the N-terminal signal peptide-like fragment(1 ~45bp) in HpaXm sequence was not necessary for endogenous expression and bioactivity of HpaXm in transgenic tobacco and the pathogenicity of Xanthomonas citri subsp.malvacearum.But in the deletion mutant it prevented hpaXm△LP being transferred to the cell wall,thus slightly reducing its resistance to TMV.
