The cDNA of a 14-kDa trypsin inhibitor (TI) from corn was subcloned into an Escherichia coli overexpression vector. The overexpressed TI was purified based on its insolubility in urea and then refolded into the active form in vitro. This recombinant TI inhibited both conidium germination and hyphal growth of all nine plant pathogenic fungi studied, including Aspergillus flavus, Aspergillus parasiticus, and Fusarium moniliforme. The calculated 50% inhibitory concentration of TI for conidium germination ranged from 70 to more than 300 microgram/ml, and that for fungal growth ranged from 33 to 124 microgram/ml depending on the fungal species. It also inhibited A. flavus and F. moniliforme simultaneously when they were tested together. The results suggest that the corn 14-kDa TI may function in host resistance against a variety of fungal pathogens of crops.
将来自玉米的一种14千道尔顿胰蛋白酶抑制剂(TI)的cDNA亚克隆到大肠杆菌过表达载体中。基于其在尿素中的不溶性对过表达的TI进行纯化,然后在体外将其重折叠成活性形式。这种重组TI抑制了所研究的全部9种植物病原真菌的分生孢子萌发和菌丝生长,包括黄曲霉、寄生曲霉和串珠镰刀菌。计算得出TI对分生孢子萌发的50%抑制浓度范围为70至300多微克/毫升,对真菌生长的抑制浓度范围为33至124微克/毫升,具体取决于真菌种类。当同时对黄曲霉和串珠镰刀菌进行测试时,它也能同时抑制它们。结果表明,玉米14千道尔顿TI可能在宿主对多种作物真菌病原体的抗性中发挥作用。
