Characterization of the tufB-secE-nusG-rplKAJL-rpoB Gene Cluster of the Citrus Greening Organism and Detection by Loop-Mediated Isothermal Amplification

Thermal asymmetric interlaced polymerase chain reaction (TAIL-PCR) was performed to amplify the uncharacterized regions adjacent to the nusG-rplKAJL-rpoB gene cluster of citrus greening organism (GO) isolates from different locations in Japan and Indonesia. Conventional PCR was used to amplify the i...

Zusammenfassung:Thermal asymmetric interlaced polymerase chain reaction (TAIL-PCR) was performed to amplify the uncharacterized regions adjacent to the nusG-rplKAJL-rpoB gene cluster of citrus greening organism (GO) isolates from different locations in Japan and Indonesia. Conventional PCR was used to amplify the internal nusG-rplKAJL-rpoB gene cluster of these isolates, and the complete sequence of this 6.1-kb fragment was determined. Comparisons with other bacterial sequences showed that the fragment is the tufB-secE-nusG-rplKAJL-rpoB gene cluster. The organization of this gene cluster is similar to that of the homologous cluster found in Escherichia coli. Except for three nucleotide changes, the sequence was identical among Japanese and Indonesian isolates. A loop-mediated isothermal amplification (LAMP) assay based on the conserved sequence of the nusG-rplKAJL-rpoB gene cluster was developed for the detection of the GO. The LAMP product was rapidly detected on nylon membranes by staining with AzurB. LAMP could detect as low as about 300 copies of the nusG-rplKAJL-rpoB fragment of the Japanese and Indonesian isolates of GO. The LAMP-based detection method, which does not depend upon a thermal cycler and electrophoresis apparatus, will be useful for under-equipped laboratories, including those found in extension centers and quarantine offices
