This study provided evidence that the P1 protein of SVBV(SVBV-P1) possesses the following features. Bioinformatic and subcellular localization analyses showed that SVBV-P1 is localized in the cytoplasm and cell walls of epidermal cells in Nicotiana benthamiana, and it forms inclusion bodies associated with microtubules and the endoplasmic reticulum. Dilution experiments demonstrated that SVBV-P1 could move from the original agro-infiltrated cells to adjacent cells in N. benthamiana leaves. Further trans-complementation experiments demonstrated that SVBV-P1 could facilitate the intercellular movement of a movement-deficient potato virus X mutant in N. benthamiana leaves. Finally, yeast twohybrid and bimolecular fluorescence complementation assays revealed that SVBV-P1 could interact with the SVBV coat protein, which is a major component of Caulimovirus virions. Results of the electrophoretic mobility shift assay indicated that SVBV-P1 lacks DNA-binding capability. In summary, the results suggest that SVBV-P1 is probably a movement protein of SVBV, providing new insights into the function of movement proteins of the Caulimovirus genus.展开更多

The transformed plants were analyzed with polymerase chain reaction (PCR), PCR_Southern, Southern and Western blots. R 0 generation of the transgenic plants were inoculated with CMV. Five out of 10 lines of tobacco plants (BMPK) transformed with CMV MP deletion mutant gene showed high resistance to CMV infection and remained symptomless for up to 50 days post_inoculation. In contrast, tobacco plants (BMPR) transformed with full_length CMV MP gene did not show resistance to CMV infection. However, most of the infected full_length CMV MP gene transgenic plants recovered by showing none or very mild mosaic symptoms in 40 days post_inoculation. The results of R 1 generation of the BMPK transgenic plants tested under field conditions showed that all 5 lines of transgenic plants could delay the virus disease development.展开更多

The modified PVX coat protein gene (cpm) and wild-type cp gene (cpw) were inserted into binary vector under the control of CaMV35S promoter, and these two plant expression constructs were transferred into tobacco (Nicotiana tabacum cv. Xanthi) genomes via Agrobacterium mediated method and transgenic plants were generated. Northern blot analysis of RNA isolated from these plants showed that the silencing ratio of cpm gene in transgenic tobaccos was higher than that of cpw (35% and 6.25% respectively). Run on results indicate that the silencing of cp gene happened at post-transcriptional level. The resistance of transgenic tobaccos carrying cpm genes to PVX is increased compared with that of transformants carrying cpw genes. These results suggest that the resistance of transgenic tobacco to PVX can be enhanced by codon replacement.展开更多

Their temperature sensitive behaviour, pH response and surface properties as protein-resistance coatings are characterized. 220 nm core-shell nanoparticles as P(PEGMA)-b-P(PEG) shell grafted on SiO2 core are formed in water solution, which gained LCST at 60<sup>。</sup>C - 77<sup>。</sup>C and good dispersion in water when pH > 5.0. The water-casted films by SiO<sub>2</sub>-g-P(PEGMA)-b-P(PEG) obtain a little rough surface (Ra = 26.8 - 29.7 nm). While, the introduction of P(PEG) segments could slight increase the protein-repelling adsorption of SiO<sub>2</sub>-g-P(PEGMA)-b-P(PEG) films (△f = ?6.96 Hz ~ ?7.25 Hz) compared with SiO2-g-P(PEGMA) films (△f = ?9.5 Hz). Therefore, SiO2-g-P(PEGMA)-b-P(PEG) could be used as protein-resistance coatings.展开更多

Powell et al. constructed the cDNA gene encoding the coat protein(CP)of tobacco mosaic virus(TMV)under the control of a plant constitutive promoter and transferred it into tobacco cells. Transgenic tobacco plants expressing TMV coat protein gene showed the resistance or delaying of disease symptom development. Subsequently, the same method was successfully used for some other viruses such as cucumber mosaic virus(CMV), alfalfa mosaic virus(ALMV), potato virus X(PVX)and potato virus Y(PVY).展开更多

And then, the chemical composition, hydrophilicity, and protein-resistant properties of the PDA-g-PMOXA coating were studied using X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy （XPS）, contact angel （CA） test, surface plasmon resonance （SPR）, and quartz crystal microbalance with dissipation （QCM-D） measurement. Finally, the coating was applied to the capillary inner surface for protein separation by capillary electrophoresis （CE）.展开更多

The mRNAs and the CP were respectively found in 80% of transgenic plants by Northern blot and DAS-ELISA. 24 of the transgenic plants expressing CP gene of BS strain showed three kinds of resistant level (severe symptom, delay of symptomatic development, no symptom) to infection of CMV-BS and of CMV-P. However, there was distinctly higher resistance to inoculation of CMV-BS than that with CMV-P in these transgenic plants.展开更多
