The effects of virus strains on the virus transmission in Cryphonectria parasitica were observed in this study. In laboratory assays by replicating vegetative incompatibility (vic) genotypes in independent fungal isolates, we quantified the transmission of three CHV1 viruses between isolates heteroallelic at one or two vic loci, and demonstrated that different CHV1 virus isolates determined their transmission abilities. The results suggested that using the hypoviruses with higher transmission abilities could increase the efficiencies of the biological control of chestnut blight.

用酿酒酵母(Saccharyomyces cerevisae)泛素融合蛋白基因从COGEME(Consortium for the functional ge-nomics of microbial eukaryotes)植物病原菌EST(Expressed sequence tag)库中BLAST(Basic local alignment searchtool)得到栗疫病菌的泛素融合蛋白EST,设计引物从栗疫病菌cDNA中克隆到该基因并测序,得到在进化上高度保守的基因,该基因开放阅读框为387 bp,编码128个氨基酸残基组成的泛素融合蛋白前体;由cDNA序列推定的氨基酸序列分析结果表明,泛素融合蛋白前体包括氮末端的泛素结构域(76个氨基酸残基)和碳末端的核糖体蛋白L40结构域(52个氨基酸残基)。该蛋白为高碱性蛋白,碳末端含有一个"锌指"模式结构。与19个物种比较的结果表明,栗疫病菌与真菌泛素融合蛋白氨基酸序列相似度较高,具有高度的保守性。
