摘要: ABSTRACT A broad-spectrum anti-fungal protein of ≈10 kDa, designated victoriocin, was purified from culture filtrates a virus-infected isolate the plant-pathogenic fungus Helminthosporium victoriae (teleomorph: Cochliobolus victoriae) by multistep procedure involving ultrafiltration and reverse-phase high-performance liquid chromatography (RP-HPLC). Amino acid sequences, obtained automated Edman degradation sequencing RP-HPLC-purified victoriocin-derived peptides, were used to design primers for degenerate oligonucleotide-primed polymerase chain reaction (DOP-PCR) amplification H. DNA cDNA templates. An open reading frame coding victoriocin precursor 183 amino acids with calculated molecular mass ≈20 kDa amplified PCR genomic but not control Penicillium chrysogenum. Southern hybridization analysis confirmed presence gene in all strains tested. Sequence indicated that victo...
