Texto completo da fonteENGLISH ABSTRACT: Ribosome inactivating proteins (RIPs) are currently classified as rRNA N-glycosidases, but also have polynucleotide: adenosine glycosidase activity. RIPs are believed to have anti-viral and anti-fungal properties, but the exact mechanism of these proteins still need to be elucidated.The mechanism of resistance however, appears to be independent of the pathogen. For resistance the RIP terminates virus infected plant cells and stops the reproduction and spread of the virus. Transgenic plants containing RIPs should thus be resistant to a wide range of viruses. The ultimate goal of the larger project of which this forms part is the development of virus resistant plants. To monitor the expression of a RIP in a transgenic plant a detection method had to be developed. Antibody detection of the RIP was decided upon as the most cost effective method. The RIP, Dianthin 30 from Dianthus caryophyllus (carnation), was used and expressed in bacterial and insect expression systems. The bacterial expression experiments were done using the pET expression system in BL21(DE3)pLysS cells. The expression in this system yielded recombinant protein at a very low concentration. Expression experiments were also performed in insect tissue culture with the baculovirus vector BAC-TO-BAC™.With this system the expression was also too low to be used for the production of antibodies. A Dianthin 30 specific peptide was then designed and then produced by Bio-Synthesis. This peptide was then used to raise antibodies to detect Dianthin 30. These antibodies were tested on Dianthus caryophyllus proteins. To establish if this detection method was effective to monitor the expression in plants, tobacco plants were transformed with Agrobacterium tumefaciens containing Dianthin 30 in the pART27 plant expression vector. The putative transformed plants were analysed with peR and Southern blots.
AFRIKAANSE OPSOMMING: Tans word Ribosomale-inaktiverende proteïene (RIPs) geklassifiseer as rRNA N-glikosidase wat ook polinukleotied: adenosien glikosidase aktiwiteit bevat. Daar word geglo dat RIPs anti-virale en anti-fungus eienskappe bevat, maar die meganisme van beskerming word nog nie ten volle verstaan nie. Dit is wel bewys dat die meganisme van weerstand onafhanklik is van die patogeen. Virus geinfekteerde plantselle word deur die RIP gedood om die voortplanting en verspreiding te bekamp en sodoende word weerstand bewerkstellig. Transgeniese plante wat dan 'n RIP bevat sal dus weerstandbiedend wees teen 'n wye spektrum virusse. Die hoofdoel van die breër projek, waarvan die projek deel uitmaak: is die ontwikkeling van virusbestande plante. Om die uitdrukking van die RIP in die transgeniese plante te kontroleer, moes 'n deteksie metode ontwikkel word. Die mees koste effektiewe deteksie metode is met teenliggame. Die RIP, Dianthin 30 from Dianthus caryophyllus (angelier) was gebruik vir uitdrukking in bakteriele- en insekweefselkultuur. Die bakteriele uitdrukkingseksperimente was gedoen met die pET uitdrukkings sisteem III BL21(DE3)pLysS selle. Die uitdrukking in die sisteem het slegs rekombinante proteïene gelewer in uiters lae konsentrasies. Uitdrukkingseksperimente was ook gedoen in insekweefselkultuur met die baculovirus vektor BAC-To- BACTM. Met die sisteem was die uitdrukking ook veels te laag om bruikbaar te wees vir die produksie van teenliggame. Daar is toe 'n peptied ontwerp wat Dianthin 30 kan verteenwoordig vir die produksie van teenliggame. Die teenliggame is getoets teen Dianthus caryophyllus proteïene. Om vas te stel of die deteksiemetode wel die uitdrukking van Dianthin 30 sal kan monitor, is tabak ook getransformeer met Dianthin 30. Die transformasies is gedoen met die hulp van Agrobacterium tumefaciens en die pART27 plant uitdrukkings vektor. Die plante is getoets met die polimerase ketting reaksie en Southern klad tegnieke.

Texto completo da fonteENGLISH ABSTRACT: Plant-pathogen interactions have been intensively investigated in the last decade. This major drive towards understanding the fundamental aspects involved in plant disease resistance is propelled by the obvious agricultural and economical benefits that are intrinsically linked to disease and stress resistant plants. It is, therefore, not surprising that fundamental research in this area is not just restricted to model organisms, such as Arabidopsis and tobacco, but also extends to more traditional crop plants, such as maize, bean, soybean, apples, grapevine etc. In grapevine for instance, several genes involved in disease resistance have been isolated. One of these genes, encoding for a polygalacturonase inhibiting protein (PGIP), has been studied extensively. PGIPs are cell wall bound, contain leucine rich repeats (LRR) and are found in all dicotyledonous plants so far examined. In most cases, pgip genes occur in small multigene families and expression is often tissue specific and developmentally regulated. Up-regulation of PGIP-encoding genes typically occurs upon pathogen infection, treatment with elicitors, salicylic acid (SA), jasmonic acid (JA), cold treatment and wounding. Differential regulation and specificity have been shown to occur between members of the same multigene family. Differential regulation even extends to the utilization of separate pathways to induce pgip genes from the same family in response to a single stress stimulus. PGIPs interact with cell wall macerating polygalacturonases (PGs) that are secreted by pathogenic fungi during the infection process. The antifungal action of PGIPs is thought to depend on a dual action. The physical interaction of PGIP with PGs has an inhibitionary effect, resulting in (i) a slower fungal infection rate and (ii) the prolonged existence of long chain oligogalacturonides (OGs). These oligosaccharides are able to elicit a general plant defense response, enabling the plant to further retard or curb the spread of infection. The main objective of this study was to investigate the regulatory aspects underlying PGIP expression in grapevine. Unlike most characterized PGIP encoding genes from other dicotyledonous plant species, no evidence to support the existence of a V. vinifera PGIP multigene family could be found from either genetic or biochemical analyses. Recently, a genomic DNA fragment from Vitis vinifera cv Pinotage was pathogen interactions with regards to the fundamental processes underlying defense gene regulation.
AFRIKAANSE OPSOMMING: Die ooglopende voordele wat, vanuit 'n landboukundige én ekonomiese oogpunt, uit siekte- en stresbestande plante spruit, het gedurende die laaste dekade aanleiding gegee tot die ontwikkeling van plantpatogeen-interaksies as "n baie belangrike studieveld. Dit was dus ook te verwagte dat fundamentele navorsing in hierdie area nie net beperk gebly het tot modelorganismes soos Arabidopsis en tabak (ook natuurlik van landboukundige belang) nie, maar ook na meer tradisionele landbougewasse soos mielies, boontjies, sojaboontjies, appels, druiwe, ens. oorgevloei het. Verskeie siekteweerstands-verwante gene is byvoorbeeld al vanuit wingerd geïsoleer. Een só "n geen wat vir "n poligalakturonase-inhiberende proteïen (PGIP) kodeer, vorm deel van hierdie groep gene. Die funksie en regulering van PGIP's is baie goed bestudeer. Hierdie proteïene word normaalweg in die selwande van die meeste dikotiele plante aangetref. Leusienryke herhalings is algemeen in PGIP's en hierdie tipe van herhalings is kenmerkend van proteïene betrokke by proteïen-proteïen-interaksies. Verder word pgip-gene gewoonlik in klein multigeenfamilies aangetref, waar in die meeste gevalle die uitdrukking weefselspesifiek en die regulering spesifiek ten opsigte van die ontwikkelingsfase is. Verskeie faktore kan tot die induksie van pgip-gene lei, soos onder andere patogeen-infeksie, elisitoor-, salisiensuur-, jasmoonsuur- en kouebehandeling, asook verwonding. Differensiële regulering word in baie gevalle tussen lede van dieselfde multigeenfamilie aangetref. Hierdie differensiële regulering kan selfs bemiddel word deur onafhanklike reguleringsweë in reaksie op dieselfde induksiestimulus. PGIP's is in staat om te reageer met poligalakturonases (PGs), wat selwande afbreek en wat gedurende die infeksieproses deur swamme of fungi afgeskei word. Die effek van hierdie interaksie is tweeledig: (i) Die fisiese interaksie tussen PGIP en PG moduleer die aktiwiteit van die PG deur die ensiemaksie te inhibeer, en (ii) PGinhibisie lei tot die verhoogde stabiliteit van langketting-oligogalakturonades, molekules wat daartoe in staat is om die weerstandsrespons van plante te ontlok. Die inhibisie van die patogeen-PG's, tesame met die geïnduseerde weerstandrespons, stel die plant dan in staat om verdere infeksie te vertraag of te verhoed. Die doel van hierdie studie was om die onderliggende aspekte van PGIPregulering in wingerd te bestudeer. In teenstelling met die meeste plantspesies waar pgip-gene in klein multigeenfamilies aangetref word, is daar nie 'n pgip-multigeenfamilie in wingerd nie. Veelvuldige kopieë van In enkele pgip-geen word egter in die wingerdgenoom aangetref. Daar is onlangs in ons laboratorium In genoom-DNAfragment vanaf Vitis vinifera cv Pinotage geïsoleer wat die oopleesraam en 5'-stroomopsekwense van In PGIP-enkoderende geen (Vvpgip1) bevat. In hierdie studie is die uitdrukkingspatroon van Vvpgip1 ten opsigte van weefselspesifisiteit, korrelontwikkelingsfase, asook die effek van verskeie omgewings en patogeenverwante stres-stimuli ontleed. Die regulatoriese meganismes van Vvpgip1 bevat spesifieke in planta-ontwikkelingsfaseseine wat verder deur spesifieke faktore, insluitende omgewings- en patogeenstres, gereguleer word. In lyn hiermee is mRNS-transkripte van Vvpgip1 tot wortel- en korrelweefsels beperk, terwyl die mRNS-vlakke ook tussen verskillende korrelontwikkelingsfases wissel. Kumulatiewe uitdrukking kon waargeneem word in veráison-korrels in reaksie op verwonding en osmotiese stres. Die weefselspesifieke uitdrukkingspatroon tipies van wingerd-PGIP is in blare opgehef in reaksie op Botrytis cinerea-infeksie, verwonding, osmotiese stres, ouksien (indoolasynsuur) en salisiensuur. PGIP-uitdrukking word ook onderdruk deur In staurosporien-sensitiewe proteïenkinase, wat In goeie aanduiding is van die betrokkenheid van proteïenfosforilasie in die seintransduksiekaskade wat tot PGIPuitdrukking aanleiding gee. Die geïnduseerde PGIP-uitdrukkingsprofiel in wingerdblare kan ook nageboots word in tabak wat met die Vvpgip1-geen en -promotor getransformeer is. PG-inhibisie-eksperimente met membraan-geassosieerde proteïenekstrakte van geïnduseerde wingerdblare het ook dieselfde profiel getoon as dié van PGIP wat deur die Vvpgip1-geen geënkodeer is. Die uitdrukkingsprofiel van PGIP in die transgeniese tabakplante het ook bewys dat die promotor van die Vvpgip1-geen vir die geïnduseerde PGIP-uitdrukkingsprofiel in wingerdblare verantwoordelik is. In silica-analise van die promotorarea dui op die teenwoordigheid van verskeie cis-werkende elemente. Die kern promotor en transkripsie-aanvangsgedeelte is gevolglik eksperimenteel bepaal. Verder het uitdrukkingseksperimente met promotorfragmente verskeie dele van die promotor geïdentifiseer wat by stimulis-geassosieerde uitdrukking betrokke is. Posisioneel is hierdie fragmente in goeie konteks met die voorspelde cis-werkende elemente en kan dus die basis vorm vir verdere studies oor Vvpgip-regulering. Met hierdie studie word die eerste data verskaf waar die regulering van PGIP deur omgewingsverwante faktore verbind kan word met onwikkelingspesifieke toestande in die plant. Verder verskaf die resultate verdere bewyse vir die rol van PGIP in plant-patogeen-interaksies en lewer spesifieke bydraes tot die onderliggende prosesse wat by die regulering van siekteweerstandverwante gene betrokke is.

Texto completo da fontePHELAN, THOMAS JOSEPH, Genetic and Molecular Analysis of Plant Nuclear Matrix Proteins. (Under the direction of Steven L. Spiker.)The eukaryotic nucleus is composed of DNA, RNA and protein, encapsulated by a nuclear envelope. DNA is compacted up to ten thousand times in order to be packaged into the nucleus. The nucleus must maintain order in the presence of a very high density and variety of protein and RNA. The nuclear matrix is a proteinaceous network thought to provide structure and organization to the nucleus. We believe that relatively stable interactions of nuclear molecules with the nuclear matrix are key to organization of the nucleus. Numerous "Matrix Attachment Region" DNA elements (MARs), have been isolated from plants, animals, and fungi. Evidence suggests that these MARs attach to the nuclear matrix, delimiting loops of chromosomal DNA. In studies of transgenic plants and animals, MARs have been shown to give important advantages to organisms transformed with genes flanked by these elements. Unlike most DNA elements, no specific sequence elements have been identified in MAR DNAs. Partly due to the insolubility of the matrix, and to the heterogeneity of MAR DNA, very few of the protein components of the nuclear matrix have been identified. This work presents analysis the proteins of the plant nuclear matrix. We have characterized a set of related proteins from the model plant Arabidopsis that associate with MAR DNA in vitro. These proteins appear to be similar to the NOP56/NOP58 family of proteins previously identified in several eukaryotic organisms. The NOP56/NOP58 proteins are thought to be involved in modifications of ribosomal RNA. Binding studies presented in this work suggest that these plant proteins may participate in RNA/DNA/protein complexes in the nucleus.

Texto completo da fonteMental retardation (MR) affects 1 to 1. 5% of the population. X-linked mental retardation is divided into two classes: syndromic (MRXS) and nonsyndromic or nonspecific (MRX). The Coffin-Lowry syndrome (CLS) is a form of MRXS in which the cognitive deficit is associated to growth retardation and skeletal malformations. CLS is caused by loss of function mutations in the RSK2 gene encoding the RSK2 protein. In humans, RSK2 is member of a family of four highly related serine/threonine kinases (RSK1-4) acting in the Ras/ERK-MAPK signaling pathway and involved in various cellular processes. We found a mutation in the RSK2 gene in an MRX family, extending the phenotypic variability in patients carrying RSK2 mutations. We also showed that western blotting and in vitro kinase assays are efficient tests for molecular diagnosis of CLS. These tests along with a high scale mutational screening in the promoter region of RSK2, indicated that genetic heterogeneity in CLS should not be excluded. Western blotting allowed also the identification of two unusual splicing mutations that were studied in detail. To better understand the functions of RSK proteins, we generated polyclonal antibodies recognizing specifically RSK1, 2 and 3. These antibodies were used to determine that whereas RSK3 was uniformly distributed in the cytoplasmic and nuclear compartments, RSK1 was mainly detected in nuclear speckles, suggesting a putative role of RSK1 in splicing processes. We have also used these antibodies, as well as northern blotting and in situ hybridization, to study the tissue expression of RSKs. RSK1, 2 and 3 were all widely expressed. However, only RSK2 was detected in some brain areas involved in memory processes, providing a possible explanation for the cognitive deficit observed in CLS patients. Finally, we have generated Rsk1 and Rsk3 knockout mice which will be useful, along with the Rsk2 knockout animals, for the identification of specific as well as redundant functions of RSKs

Texto completo da fonteENGLISH ABSTRACT: Stripe (yellow) rust of wheat, caused by Puccinia striiformis f.sp. tritici, was first detected as a single introduction into South Africa in 1996. Two additional pathotypes have since been identified. Control of the disease may be achieved by use of genetic adult plant resistance (APR) as is present in the local cultivar 'Kariega'. The aim of this project was to understand the genetic basis of the APR in 'Kariega' to facilitate breeding of new varieties with genetic resistance to stripe rust. A partial linkage map of a 'Kariega X Avocet S' doubled haploid population covering all 21 wheat chromosomes was generated using 208 DNA markers, viz, 62 SSR, 133 AFLP, 3 RGA and 10 SRAP markers, and 4 alternative loci. The different marker techniques detected varying polymorphism, viz, overall SSR: 46%, AFLP: 7%, SRAP: 6% and RGA: 9%, and the markers produced low levels of missing data (4%) and segregation distortion (5%). A significant feature of the linkage map was the low polymorphism found in the D genome, viz, 19% of all mapped DNA markers, 11% of all AFLP markers and 30% of the total genome map distance. A region exhibiting significant segregation distortion was mapped to chromosome 4A and a seedling resistance gene for stem rust (Puccinia graminis f.sp . tritici), Sr26, mapped to chromosome 6A close to three SSR markers. The leaf tip necrosis gene, Ltn, which was also segregating in the population, mapped to chromosome 7D. Protocols for SRAP and RGA were optimised, and SRAP marker use in wheat genetic linkage studies is reported for the first time. The linkage map was used together with growth chamber and replicated field disease scores for QTL mapping. Chromosomes showing statistically significant QTL effects were then targeted with supplementary SSR markers for higher resolution mapping. The quality of disease resistance phenotypic data was confirmed by correlation analysis between the different scorers for reaction type (0.799±0.023) and for transformed percentage leaf area infected (0.942±0.007). Major QTL were consistently identified on chromosome 7D (explaining some 25-48% of the variation) and on chromosome 2B (21-46%) using transformed percentage leaf area infected and transformed reaction type scores (early and final) with interval mapping and modified interval mapping techniques. Both chromosomal regions have previously been identified in other studies and the 7D QTL is thought likely to be the previously mapped APR gene Yr 18. Minor QTL were identified on chromosomes lA and 4A with the QTL on 4A being more prominent at the early field scoring for both score types. A QTL evidently originating from 'Avocet S' was detected under growth chamber conditions but was not detected in the field, suggesting genotype-environment interaction and highlighting the need for modifications of growth chamber conditions to better simulate conditions in the field. The genetic basis of the APR to stripe rust exhibited by 'Kariega' was established by mapping of QTL controlling this trait. The linkage map constructed will be a valuable resource for future genetic studies and provides a facility for mapping other polymorphic traits in the parents of this population with a considerable saving in costs.
AFRIKAANSE OPSOMMING: Streep of geelroes van koring word veroorsaak deur Puccinia striiformis f. sp tritici, en is die eerste keer in 1996 in Suid-Afrika na introduksie van 'n enkele patotipe waargeneem. Twee verdere patotipes is sedertdien in Suid-Afrika gei"dentifiseer. Beheer van die siekte word veral moontlik gemaak deur die gebruik van genetiese volwasseplantweerstand soos gei"dentifiseer in die plaaslike kultivar 'Kariega'. Die doel van hierdie studie was om die genetiese grondslag van die streeproesweerstand te ontrafel ten einde die teling van nuwe bestande kultivars moontlik te maak. 'n Verdubbelde haplo1ede populasie uit die kruising 'Kariega X Avocet S' is aangewend om 'n gedeeltelike koppelingskaart vir die volle stel van 21 koring chromosome saam te stel. Die kaart het uit 208 DNA merkers, nl., 62 SSR, 133 AFLP, 3 RGA, 10 SRAP merkers en 4 ander lokusse bestaan. Totale polimorfisme wat deur die verskillende merkersisteme opgespoor is, was as volg: SSR: 46%, RGA: 9%, AFLP: 7% en SRAP: 6%. Die mate van ontbrekende data was gering (4%) asook die mate van segregasie distorsie (5%) van 'n enkele geval wat op chromosoom 4A gekarteer is. 'n Prominente kenmerk van die koppelingskaart is die relatiewe gebrek aan polimorfiese merkers op die D-genoom, nl., slegs 19% van alle DNA merkers en 11% van alle AFLP merkers wat slegs 30% van die totale genoom kaartafstand bestaan het. Die stamroes (Puccinia graminis f. sp. tritici) saailingweerstandsgeen, Sr26, karteer op chromosoom 6A naby drie SSR merkers. Die geen vir blaartipnekrose, Ltn, karteer op chromosoom 7D. Protokolle vir SRAP en RGA merkers is ge-optimiseer en gebruik van SRAP merkers in koppelings-analise word vir die eerste keer in koring gerapporteer. Die koppelingskaart is in kombinasie met groeikamerdata en gerepliseerde veldproefdata gebruik om die gene (QTL) vir volwasseplant streeproesweerstand te karteer. Chromosome met statisties betekenisvolle QTL is met aanvullende SSR merkers geteiken om die resolusie van kartering verder te verhoog. Die kwaliteit van fenotipiese data, soos in die proewe aangeteken, is bevestig deur korrelasies te bereken tussen lesings geneem deur onafhanklike plantpataloe (0.799 ± 0.023 vir reaksietipe en 0.942 ± 0.007 vir getransformeerde persentasie blaaroppervlakte besmet). Hoofeffek QTL vir die twee maatstawwe van weerstand is deur middel van die metodes van interval QTL kartering en gemodifiseerde interval QTL kartering konsekwent op chromosome 7D (25-48% van variasie verklaar) en 2B (21-46% van variasie verklaar) ge"identifiseer. In vorige studies is aangetoon dat beide chromosome 7D en 2B QTL vir volwasseplant streeproesweerstand dra. Die 7D QTL is waarskynlik die weerstandsgeen, Yr 18. QTL met klein effekte op weerstand is op chromosome lA en 4A ge"identifiseer. Die effek van laasgenoemde geen was meer prominent in die velddata in die vroee datum van weerstandsbeoordeling. Een QTL, afkomstig van 'Avocet S', is slegs onder groeikamertoestande identifiseerbaar. Dit dui op moontlike genotipe-omgewing wisselwerking en beklemtoon die noodsaaklikheid om aanpassings te maak in groeikamertoestande vir beter simulasie van veldproeftoestande. Die genetiese grondslag van volwasseplantweerstand teen streeproes in die kultivar 'Kariega' is deur QTL kartering bepaal. Die 'Kariega X Avocet S' koppelingskaart kan as 'n waardevolle basis dien vir toekomstige genetiese ontledings van ander polimorfiese kenmerke in die populasie.
