ABSTRACT

A unique type of platinum catalysis that is valuable for the synthesis of α,ß-unsaturated ketones is described. In the presence of PtCl2, (2-arylethynyl)trimethylsilanes reacted with H2O at 30 °C to give 1,4-diarylbut-3-en-2-ones in moderate to good yields. (2-Alkylethynyl)trimethylsilanes could be efficiently converted into the corresponding hydrative dimerization products by a modified Pt catalyst system. Mechanistic studies suggest the participation of acylplatinum intermediates in the catalytic cycle.

ABSTRACT

Xanthomonas species infect many important crops and cause huge yield loss. These pathogens deliver transcription activator-like (TAL) effectors into the cytoplasm of plant cells. TAL effectors move to host nuclei, directly bind to the promoters of host susceptible genes, and activate their transcription. However, the molecular mechanisms by which TAL effectors induce host transcription remain unclear. We herein demonstrated that TAL effectors interacted with the SIMILAR TO RCD ONE (SRO) family proteins OsSRO1a and OsSRO1b in nuclei. A transactivation assay using rice protoplasts indicated that OsSRO1a and OsSRO1b enhanced the activation of the OsSWEET14 promoter by the TAL effector AvrXa7. The AvrXa7-mediated expression of OsSWEET14 was significantly reduced in ossro1a mutants. However, the overexpression of OsSRO1a increased disease resistance by up-regulating the expression of defense-related genes, such as WRKY62 and PBZ1. This was attributed to OsSRO1a and OsSRO1b also enhancing the transcriptional activity of WRKY45, a direct regulator of WRKY62 expression. Therefore, OsSRO1a and OsSRO1b appear to positively contribute to transcription mediated by bacterial TAL effectors and rice transcription factors.

ABSTRACT

Six atypical Actinobacillus pleuropneumoniae serovar 15 strains were isolated from pneumonic lesions of naturally infected dead pigs from the same farm in Japan. Genetic analyses of apx genes revealed that the atypical isolates contained the toxin-associated genes apxIBD, apxIIICA, apxIIIBD, and apxIVA, but not apxIICA. Coinciding with the result of the atypical gene profile, analyses of toxin protein production revealed that these atypical isolates expressed only ApxIII but not ApxII. A mouse pathogenicity test showed that the atypical isolate tested seemed to be less virulent than the typical isolates. This is the first report describing the emergence of atypical A. pleuropneumoniae serovar 15, which does not produce ApxII due to the absence of apxIICA genes, in Japan.

ABSTRACT

An indirect enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) using lipopolysaccharide extract as antigen was evaluated for detection of antibodies to Actinobacillus pleuropneumoniae serovar 15. The serovar 15 ELISA had a higher sensitivity and specificity than latex agglutination test for 63 and 80 sera from pigs experimentally infected and not infected with A. pleuropneumoniae, respectively. When the serovar 15 ELISA was applied to 454 field sera, high rates of seropositivity were found in pigs from farms infected with A. pleuropneumoniae serovar 15, but not in those from farms free of A. pleuropneumoniae serovar 15. The results suggest that the serovar 15 ELISA may be useful for the serological surveillance of infection with A. pleuropneumoniae serovar 15.
