利用PCR方法克隆了香蕉束顶病毒中国漳州分离物(BBTV-ZZ)DNA 4编码区,序列分析结果表明该编码区由351个核苷酸组成,推测其编码是一个含116个氨基酸的蛋白质,利用植物双元载体pBin438构建了含有BBTV-ZZ DNA 4编码区的植物组成型表达载体pBBTV-4B,经农杆菌介导转化了三生烟(Nicotiana tabacum Xanthi nc),在防虫条件下,将运动缺陷型CMV-Fny突变株(CMV-Fny-△MP)人工接种到转基因植株下部叶片上,12d后,在转基因植株的非接种叶上显现出不同程度的系统侵染症状,间接异种动物双抗体夹心酶联免疫吸附方法(DAS-ELISA)检测结果显示在转基因植株的上部非接种叶中有CMV-Fny的积累,而非转基因对照植株组的上部非接种叶中始终没有显现系统侵染症状,DAS-ELISA检测也未见CMV-Fny的积累,这些实验结果表明转基因植株能够支持CMV-Fny-△Mp从细胞到细胞和长距离运动并形成系统侵染症状,由此推测BBTV-ZZ DNA 4编码的蛋白质可能具有运动蛋白功能。
Banana bunchy top virus Chinese Zhangzhou isolate (BBTV-ZZ) DNA 4 was amplified by PCR and cloned. Sequence analysis showed that BBTV-ZZ DNA 4 is 1 039 nucleotides (nts) in length and this virus could be one member of BBTV Asian group. Transcriptional initiation site A, which is at the 269 nucleotide, was preliminarily determined by using 5' RACE method. BBTV-ZZ DNA 4 non-coding region was sub-cloned by PCR and inserted into upstream of gfp : : gus plant expression vector pCAMBIA 1304 to construct recombinant plasmid pTA2. Agrobacterium tumefaciens harboring pTA2 was injected into leaves of the tobacco (Nicotiana tabacum L. cv. Xanthi NC) via Agrobacterium-infiltration procedure. Transient expressions of GUS and GFP were determined in injected leaves 3 - 5 d later. GUS activities of pTA2, pCAMBIA 1304 injected and non-injected tobacco leaves respectively were 1.007 0 pmol MU(.)mug(-1.)min(-1), 2.069 0 pmol MU(.)mug(-1.)min(-1) and 0.021 4 pmol MU(.)mug(-1.)min(-1). Indirect ELISA for GFP in 1 mg total protein from pTA2, pCAMBIA 1304 injected and non-injected leaves showed an A(490 nm) value of 89.577, 100.440 and 3.287, respectively. These results showed that the non-coding region of BBTV-ZZ DNA 4 has a promoter activity not only in the virus replication in monocot, but also in driving the expression of a foreign gene in dicot plants.
