The lethal effect of 35S and 32P decays on cells of yeast radiation-sensitive mutant xrs2 was studied. The mutant is 7 times more sensitive than the wild type to transmutation of both isotopes. The survival curve for xrs2 was exponential. In spite of the lethal effect, mutant cells are not more mutable than the wild type under decays of both isotopes (the number of mutations in ade1 and ade2 genes was counted), xrs2 and wild type strains differ in kinds of mutations induced by the decay of incorporated 35S in ade2 locus. Namely, there are 82% of base substitutions and 18% of other types mutations induced in xrs2 strain despite 97% and 3% respectively for the wild type strain. Also it was shown that complete and mosaic mutants, induced by the the 35S decay in xrs2 strain, differ in a pattern of interallelic complementation.  相似文献

Salmonella typhimurium cob mutants are not hyper-virulent   总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1  
Abstract It was previously reported that Salmonella typhimurium LT2 cob mutants defective in the biosynthesis of vitamin B12 (cobalamin) are more virulent than the wild type in mice. Here we show that the strains used previously are non-isogenic and that the proposed increase in virulence of the cob mutant strain results from an uncharacterized mutation in the 'wild type' which attenuates virulence, most likely by decreasing expression of the spv genes on the virulence plasmid. As a result the cob mutant will appear as hyper-virulent. Examination of the virulence of reconstructed wild-type and cob mutant strains showed that their growth rates were similar in mice, and we conclude that vitamin B12 does not affect the virulence of S. typhimurium LT2.  相似文献

Group A streptococcus (GAS) causes diseases ranging from benign to severe infections such as necrotizing fasciitis (NF). The reasons for the differences in severity of streptococcal infections are unexplained. We developed the polymorphic-tag-lengths-transposon-mutagenesis (PTTM) method to identify virulence genes in vivo. We applied PTTM on an emm14 strain isolated from a patient with NF and screened for mutants of decreased virulence, using a mouse model of human soft-tissue infection. A mutant that survived in the skin but was attenuated in its ability to reach the spleen and to cause a lethal infection was identified. The transposon was inserted into a small open reading frame (ORF) in a locus termed sil, streptococcal invasion locus. sil contains at least five genes (silA-E) and is highly homologous to the quorum-sensing competence regulons of Streptococcus pneumoniae. silA and silB encode a putative two-component system whereas silD and silE encode two putative ABC transporters. silC is a small ORF of unknown function preceded by a combox promoter. Insertion and deletion mutants of sil had a diminished lethality in the animal model. Virulence of a deletion mutant of silC was restored when injected together with the avirulent emm14-deletion mutant, but not when these mutants were injected into opposite flanks of a mouse. DNA transfer between these mutants occurred in vivo but could not account for the complementation of virulence. DNA exchange between the emm14-deletion mutant and mutants of sil occurred also in vitro, at a frequency of approximately 10-8 for a single antibiotic marker. Whereas silC and silD mutants exchanged markers with the emm14 mutant, silB mutant did not. Thus, we identified a novel locus, which controls GAS spreading into deeper tissues and could be involved in DNA transfer.  相似文献

Virulent strains of the facultative intracellular bacterium Rhodococcus equi isolated from young horses (foals) with R. equi pneumonia, carry an 80-90 kb virulence plasmid and express a highly immunogenic 15-17 kDa protein of unknown function called VapA (Virulence Associated Protein A). Recent sequencing of the virulence plasmid identified a putative pathogenicity island encoding a novel family of seven Vap proteins including VapA. These proteins exhibit a significant sequence similarity to each other but have no homologues in other organisms. In this study, we describe the construction of an R. equi mutant lacking a 7.9 kb DNA region spanning five vap genes (vapA, -C, -D, -E and -F ). This vap locus mutant was attenuated for virulence in mice as it was unable to replicate in vivo and was rapidly cleared in comparison to the virulent wild-type strain. Complementation analysis of the vap locus mutant showed that expression of vapA alone could restore full virulence, whereas expression of vapC, -D and -E could not. We subsequently constructed an R. equi strain lacking only the vapA gene and found that it was attenuated for growth in vivo to the same degree as the vap locus mutant. Unlike wild-type R. equi which replicates intracellularly, both of the mutant strains exhibited a growth defect in macrophages although their attachment to the macrophages was unaffected. These studies provide the first proof of a role for vapA in the virulence of R. equi, and demonstrate that its presence is essential for intracellular growth in macrophages.  相似文献
