    Mycelial glycoproteins of the three phytopathogenic fungi causing Ascochyta blight on pea (Ascochyta pisi, Mycosphaerella pinodes (anamorph Ascochyta pinodes) and Phoma medicaginis var. pinodella) were investigated using affinity chromatography. Three types of functional structures were present in the three pathogens, N-glycosylated mannose structures, α-D-glucosyl residues and terminal α-D-galactosamine residues. The antigenic properties of the different glycoprotein fractions extracted from the three species were tested by ACP-ELISA using an antiserum produced against Mycosphaerella pinodes soluble mycelial extract. For all three fungi, the fraction containing a high mannose structure was preferentially recognised, whereas the fraction with glycosyl residues showed a weak reaction. The fraction containing α-D-galactosamine residues was not recognised. The most antigenic (mannose-rich) glycoprotein fraction of Mycosphaerella pinodes was used as immunogen to produce a polyclonal antiserum, in order to evaluate its specificity. The response (by ACP-ELISA) to this serum is similar for the three fungi.

Les glycoprotĂ©ines du mycĂ©lium de trois champignons phytopathogĂšnes apparentĂ©s responsables de l'anthracnose du pois (Ascochyta pisi, Mycosphaerella pinodes (anamorphe Ascochyta pinodes) et Phoma medicaginis var. pinodella) ont Ă©tĂ© Ă©tudiĂ©es. La nature de ces glycoprotĂ©ines fonctionnelles a Ă©tĂ© dĂ©terminĂ©e en se basant sur leur affinitĂ© pour diffĂ©rentes lectines. Trois types de structures ont pu ĂȘtre mises en Ă©vidence chez les trois agents pathogĂšnes, des structures N-glycosylĂ©es riches en mannose, des rĂ©sidus α-D-glucosyle, et des rĂ©sidus α-D-galactosamine terminaux. Les propriĂ©tĂ©s antigĂ©niques des diffĂ©rentes fractions glycoprotĂ©iques des trois parasites ont Ă©tĂ© comparĂ©es par une mĂ©thode immunoenzymatique (ACP-Elisa) Ă  l'aide d'un sĂ©rum dirigĂ© contre les extraits mycĂ©liens solubles de Mycosphaerella pinodes. Pour chacune des trois espĂšces Ă©tudiĂ©es, une forte rĂ©action est observĂ©e pour la fraction glycoprotĂ©ique riche en mannose, tandis que celle de la fraction prĂ©sentant des rĂ©sidus glucosyle est plus faible. La rĂ©ponse de la fraction caractĂ©risĂ©e par des rĂ©sidus α-D-galactosamine terminaux n'est pas significativement diffĂ©rente de celle du tĂ©moin. La fraction glycoprotĂ©ique de Mycosphaerella pinodes la plus antigĂ©nique (riche en mannose) a Ă©tĂ© utilisĂ©e pour produire un sĂ©rum polyclonal, dans le but d'Ă©valuer sa spĂ©cificitĂ©. La rĂ©ponse (en Elisa indirect) vis-Ă -vis de ce sĂ©rum est similaire pour les trois champignons. (© Inra/Elsevier, Paris.
