These studies in two different populations indicate that the Bsm I polymorphism at the VDR gene locus confers susceptibility to type 1 diabetes.
The precise biological role of SLS in streptococcal infections remains controversial [ 7 ] . The original analysis of the sagA gene demonstrated that inactivation of the gene encoding the polypeptide component of SLS rendered the organism less virulent in a dermonecrotic mouse model [ 3 ] . In a related series of studies, Li et al also isolated a mutant that not only lacked SLS activity but also affected other phenotypes [ 4 ] . The additional phenotypes included surface M and M-related protein as well as the secreted cysteine protease, streptococcal pyrogenic exotoxin B, SpeB [ 4 ] . The disrupted gene was termed pel (pleotrophic effect locus).
Here, combining a master locus (C73) with a non-allelic singlet locus possessing 100% sequence identity (L91) resulted in immediate trans-silencing, as seen by a reduction of GFP-COP1 expression and block of cosuppression, which was stably maintained in the presence or absence of the master locus.
Although plasmid-borne traits are frequently unstable, pT2TFXK contains the RK2 plasmid-partitioning locus that confers a high degree of stability both in vitro and under field conditions [ 15 ] . Stable TFX expression would be beneficial under field conditions when the biological control agent is inoculated on seeds or on roots dipped in a bacterial suspension prior to planting.
The data reported here provide some additional perspective on the initial reports that PARP might be the relevant gene in this locus.
