Transcription of the nodulation genes nodABC in Rhizobium meliloti requires a plant flavonoid signal and nodD, a family of bacterial regulatory genes (nodD1, nodD2, and nodD3). Results from this study show that all previously identified nod gene inducers released by alfalfa seeds and roots induced nodABC-lacZ transcription in R. meliloti containing extra copies of nodD1, but only 4,4'-dihydroxy-2'-methoxychalcone gave high levels of induction with extra copies of nodD2. While mixtures of the methoxychalcone and luteolin showed a positive synergism with extra NodD1 protein, they apparently competed for binding to the NodD2 protein.
苜蓿根瘤菌中结瘤基因nodABC的转录需要一种植物类黄酮信号以及nodD(一类细菌调节基因,包括nodD1、nodD2和nodD3)。本研究结果表明,苜蓿种子和根释放的所有先前鉴定出的结瘤基因诱导物,均可在含有额外拷贝nodD1的苜蓿根瘤菌中诱导nodABC - lacZ转录,但只有4,4'-二羟基-2'-甲氧基查耳酮能在含有额外拷贝nodD2时产生高水平诱导。虽然甲氧基查耳酮和木犀草素的混合物与额外的NodD1蛋白表现出正协同作用,但它们显然会竞争与NodD2蛋白的结合。
