Cloning of β-Tubulin Gene and Effect of Pencycuron on Tubulin Assembly in


Seong-Hwan Roh1, Heung Tae Kim, and Isamu Yamaguchi
To illustrate the action mechanism of pencycuron on Rhizoctonia solani, two experiments were conducted including the comparison of amino acids of β-tubulin between R-C (sensitive isolate) and Rh-131 (non-sensi¬tive isolate), and the inhibitory effect of pencycuron on tubulin assembly in vitro. Both β-tubulin genes of R-C and Rh-131 proved to have 1,582 nucleotides encoding a protein of 445 amino acids, showing 98% homology in amino acid sequences between them. It was found that codons at 103, 236, and 267 for lysine (AGG), valine (GTC) and isoleucine (ATT) in R-C were replaced by codons for methionine (ATG), isoleucine (ATT) and methionine (ATG) in Rh-131, respectively. No inhibitory effect of pencycuron on the tubulin assembly was observed. It suggests that pencycuron may have no direct inhibitory effects on the assembly of tubulin at least in vitro.
