Research Abstract |
The plant pathogenic isolate RI-64 of anastomosis group 4 of Rhizoctonia solani possesses three linear DNA plasmids (pRS64-1, -2, and -3). Unique poly(A)^-RNA of 0.5 kb hybridizable with the pRS64 DNAs was found in mycelial cells of the isolate RI-64. The overall homology at the nucleotide level between pRS64-1, -2, and -3 and the cDNA prepared for the poly(A)^-RNA was 100%, 73%, and 84%, respectively. The open reading frames found in pRS64-1, -2, and -3 (ORF1-1, ORF2-1, and ORF3-1) were 68 amino acids long. The amino acid sequence showed no significant homology with known properties. Extracts from E.coli cells expressing ORF1-1 gave a specific protein of 7 kDa. Antisera raised to the ORF1-1 product obtained from E.Coli cells cross reacted with the specific proteins found in the mycelia. The results indicate that the DNA plasmids found in the mycella. The results indicate that the DNA plasmids found in R.solani contain a sequence for a specific protein, that may be involved in determination of pathogenicity to plants.
