Mutational analysis of the virulence region of an Agrobacterium tumefaciens Ti plasmid. 1983

H J Klee, and F F White, and V N Iyer, and M P Gordon, and E W Nester

Forty-nine Tn3 and Tn5 transposition insertion mutations were introduced into the virulence region of the pTiA6NC plasmid of Agrobacterium tumefaciens. Five Tn5 transposition mutations from an earlier study (D. Garfinkel and E. Nester, J. Bacteriol. 144:732-743, 1980) were also mapped more accurately. These mutations defined five separate loci within the virulence region. Two Tn3 insertions into one of these loci, virA, result in a strain which is only weakly virulent; however, a Tn5 insertion into this locus eliminates virulence. One Tn5 insertion into another locus, virC, results in a strain which is weakly virulent. Two additional Tn5 insertions into this locus eliminate virulence. Insertions into the remaining three loci eliminate virulence entirely.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D009154 Mutation Any detectable and heritable change in the genetic material that causes a change in the GENOTYPE and which is transmitted to daughter cells and to succeeding generations. Mutations
D010941 Plant Tumors A localized proliferation of plant tissue forming a swelling or outgrowth, commonly with a characteristic shape and unlike any organ of the normal plant. Plant tumors or galls usually form in response to the action of a pathogen or a pest. (Holliday, P., A Dictionary of Plant Pathology, 1989, p330) Crown Gall,Galls, Plant,Plant Galls,Crown Galls,Gall, Crown,Gall, Plant,Galls, Crown,Plant Gall,Plant Tumor,Tumor, Plant,Tumors, Plant
D010957 Plasmids Extrachromosomal, usually CIRCULAR DNA molecules that are self-replicating and transferable from one organism to another. They are found in a variety of bacterial, archaeal, fungal, algal, and plant species. They are used in GENETIC ENGINEERING as CLONING VECTORS. Episomes,Episome,Plasmid
D004251 DNA Transposable Elements Discrete segments of DNA which can excise and reintegrate to another site in the genome. Most are inactive, i.e., have not been found to exist outside the integrated state. DNA transposable elements include bacterial IS (insertion sequence) elements, Tn elements, the maize controlling elements Ac and Ds, Drosophila P, gypsy, and pogo elements, the human Tigger elements and the Tc and mariner elements which are found throughout the animal kingdom.

D012231 Rhizobium A genus of gram-negative, aerobic, rod-shaped bacteria that activate PLANT ROOT NODULATION in leguminous plants. Members of this genus are nitrogen-fixing and common soil inhabitants.
