摘要: Exopolysaccharide and several extracellular enzymes of Xanthomonas campestris pv. (Xcc), the causative agent black rot in crucifers, are virulence factors. In this study, sequence mutational analysis has demonstrated that Xcc pehA encodes major polygalacturonase, a member family 28 glycosyl hydrolases. Using 5' RACE (rapid amplification cDNA ends) method, transcription initiation site was mapped at 102 nt downstream Clp (cAMP receptor protein-like protein)-binding site. Transcriptional fusion assays showed is greatly induced by polygalacturonic acid, positively regulated RpfF (an enoyl-CoA hydratase homologue which required for synthesis cis-11-methyl-2-dodecenoic low-molecular-mass diffusible signal factor), subjected to catabolite repression, independent or RpfF, repressed under conditions oxygen limitation nitrogen starvation. Our findings extend previous work on regulation show they both influence expression Xcc.
