DNA probe for detecting Yersinia pestis and serovariant I of Yersinia pseudotuberculosis by detecting specific DNA repeating sequences]

In order to construct a DNA probe for the plague pathogen detection, we have obtained the recombinant plasmid pRD100 carrying an EcoRI-flanked 140 bp fragment from the genetically silent region of Yersinia pestis species-specific plasmid pYP1. When used as a DNA probe for hybridization of DNA from various strains of 25 bacterial species, this DNA fragment was shown to have the complementary sequences in all investigated Yersinia pestis strains (200), including the plasmid pYP1 lacking ones, and in all the studied Yersinia pseudotuberculosis serotype I strains (80). The search for the probe target in these species has led us to conclusion that it is a specific repeated DNA sequence present in more copies in Yersinia pestis than in Yersinia pseudotuberculosis serotype I. The hybridization of these sequences with the radioactive probe and 24 hours autography makes possible the detection of 1.3 x 10(5) cells of Yersinia pestis and 3 x 10(6) cells of Yersinia pseudotuberculosis serotype I immobilized on the nitrocellulose membranes. Use of the probe for analysis of the nitrocellulose membrane fixed spleen smears from animals that died of experimental plague made possible the detection of Yersinia pestis cells within 48 h.     

The effect of Yersinia pestis EV76 6 MD plasmid on the composition of outer membrane proteins of Yersinia pseudotuberculosis YPIII]

On the basis of Yersinia pseudotuberculosis strain YPIII the isogenic variants containing the different combinations of 47 Md plasmids from Yersinia pestis or Yersinia pseudotuberculosis cells with the 6 Md pYP plasmid from Yersinia pestis EV (intact or having impaired the pla gene determining the synthesis of plasmocoagulase). The degradation of the secreted proteins encoded by the 47 Md plasmids of Yersinia pestis and Yersinia pseudotuberculosis in the cells harbouring the 6Md pYP plasmid has been registered. Yersinia pseudotuberculosis strain YPIII carrying its own 47Md and pYP plasmids also contained no YOP1 protein, in contract to the parent strain. The damage of the pla gene eliminated the destructive effect on the outer membrane proteins. Imposition of the 47Md and 6Md plasmids from Yersinia pestis in Yersinia pseudotuberculosis cells may be used for obtaining and study of the physiological role of low molecular mass proteins resulting from proteolysis of proteins encoded by the 47Md virulence plasmid of Yersinia.     

Detection and characterization of the plasmids of the plague microbe which determine the synthesis of pesticin I, fraction I antigen and "mouse" toxin exotoxin

Plasmid DNA was isolated from Yersinia pestis strains containing pesticin I or fraction I antigen and "mouse" toxin determinants. Specificity of DNA preparations was studied by using them for transformation of plague agent strains carrying no plasmids. pPstI plasmid (molecular weight 7,0-7,8 MD) encoded pesticin I, fibrinolysin and plasmacoagulase synthesis. Fraction I antigen and "mouse" toxin production determinants were borne on pFraI/Tox plasmid (molecular weight about 50 MD). The observation that some Y. pestis cultures, having lost the ability to synthesize one of pFraI/Tox products, still retained this plasmid in their cells, is regarded as an evidence for a complicated regulation of pFraI/Tox function.     

Design of a species-specific DNA probe based on the pFra plasmid of the plague pathogen]

The recombinant plasmid pBS1 carrying a 2 kb SalGI fragment of Yersinia pestis pFra plasmid was constructed by insertion of the fragment into a vector plasmid pBR327. SalGI-BspRI 400 bp subfragment was recloned into a pBR322 vector plasmid. Open reading frame was found in the fragment by DNA sequencing technique. The subfragment designated F1-probe permits one to identify specifically the Yersinia pestis strains harbouring pFra plasmid, thus, differing them from closely related Yersiniea and other representatives of Enterobacteriaceae family.     

Virulence-associated plasmids from Yersinia enterocolitica and Yersinia pestis.

A 44-megadalton plasmid associated with virulence and Ca2+ dependence from Yersinia enterocolitica 8081 was compared at the molecular level with a 47-megadalton plasmid associated with Ca2+ dependence from Yersinia pestis EV76. The plasmids were found to share 55% deoxyribonucleic acid sequence homology distributed over approximately 80% of the plasmid genomes. One region in which the plasmids differed was found to contain sequences concerned with essential plasmid functions. Forty-five mutants of Y. pestis were isolated which had spontaneously acquired the ability to grow on calcium-free medium (Ca2+ independence). Of these mutants, 21 were cured of their 47-megadalton plasmid, whereas the remaining had either suffered a major deletion of the plasmid or had a 2.2-kilobase insertion located in one of two adjacent BamHI restriction fragments encompassing approximately 9 kilobases. The inserted sequence was found at numerous sites on the Y. pestis chromosome and on all three plasmids in the strain and may represent a Y. pestis insertion sequence element.     

Restriction map of pesticinogenicity plasmid pYP1 of Yersinia pestis

The restriction map of Yersinia pestis pesticinogenicity plasmid pYP1 has been constructed with the use of 18 restriction endonucleases. Plasmid dimensions (6.3 Md) have been specified, the genes for pesticin synthesis, for pesticin immunity protein, fibrinolysin and plasmocoagulase have been localized by molecular cloning of single plasmid DNA fragments in vector plasmid pBR322.     

Yersinia pestis pFra shows biovar-specific differences and recent common ancestry with a Salmonella enterica serovar Typhi plasmid

Population genetic studies suggest that Yersinia pestis, the cause of plague, is a clonal pathogen that has recently emerged from Yersinia pseudotuberculosis. Plasmid acquisition is likely to have been a key element in this evolutionary leap from an enteric to a flea-transmitted systemic pathogen. However, the origin of Y. pestis-specific plasmids remains obscure. We demonstrate specific plasmid rearrangements in different Y. pestis strains which distinguish Y. pestis bv. Orientalis strains from other biovars. We also present evidence for plasmid-associated DNA exchange between Y. pestis and the exclusively human pathogen Salmonella enterica serovar Typhi.     

Constructing a test system for the identification of plague microbe based on genetic probes]

DNA probes for detection of the plague agent Yersinia pestis were made on a basis of its three typical extrachromosomal replicons. The recombinant plasmid pBS2 including pBR327 vector and SalGI-BspRI fragment of the plasmid pFra was constructed. The above fragment is connected with synthesis of Y. pestis capsular antigen and it is a 400 bp species-specific DNA probe called F1 which is suitable for identification of Y. pestis species that bears the 60 mdal plasmid. The DNA probes called P1 was made on a basis of the plasmid pPst; it is the 460 BglII-BamHI fragment of the fibrinolysin-coagulase gene suitable for species-specific detection of Y. pestis species that bears the 60 mdal plasmid. The P1 fragment was cloned into the pAT153 vector and the constructed recombinant plasmid was called pEK7. The recombinant plasmid pCL1, including the pBR325 vector and the 6th BamHI fragment of Y. pestis EV plasmid pCad was constructed. The above fragment includes the replication origin of the pCad and it is hybridized to the pCad-bearing strains of Y. pestis and Y. tuberculosis only. Thus, it may be a basis for a bi-species-specific DNA probe making. These three recombinant plasmids are considered as a test-system for detection of both typical and atypical strains of Y. pestis.     

Interaction of Yersinia pestis bacteria with bacteriophage mu

Yersinia pestis cells are shown to be sensitive to bacteriophage Mu cts62 infection. Lysis of bacteria has been shown to be more efficient on solid nutrient medium than in LB broth. 10(-5) pfu per ml is the maximal concentration of bacteriophage particles yielded from the broth cultures of bacteria. Moi 0.1 has been used to obtain such yields of bacteriophage. Lysogenization of Yersinia pestis cells has not been achieved when the standard methods of bacteriophage infection have been used. It was accomplished by the conjugal transfer of plasmid RP4::MU cts62 to Yersinia pestis from Escherichia coli. The deficiency of Yersinia pestis in producing bacteriophage Mu cts62 mature particles during the lytic cycle of bacteriophage is discussed.
