Susceptibility of zebra fish Danio rerio to infection by Flavobacterium columnare and F. johnsoniae

Flavobacterium columnare is a serious pathogen in a wide range of fish species. F. johnsoniae is an opportunistic pathogen of certain fish. Both are gliding bacteria. These species were tested for their ability to infect the zebra fish Danio rerio. Both injection and bath infection methods were tested. The results indicate that F. johnsoniae is not an effective pathogen in D. rerio, but that F. columnare is an effective pathogen. F. johnsoniae did not cause increased death rates following bath infection, but did cause increased death rates following injection, with an LD50 (mean lethal dose) of approximately 3 x 10(10) cfu (colony-forming units). Non-motile mutants of F. johnsoniae produced a similar LD50. F. columnare caused increased death rates following both injection and bath infections. There was considerable strain variation in LD50, with the most lethal strain tested producing an LD50 of 3.2 x 10(6) cfu injected and 1.1 x 10(6) cfu ml(-1) in bath experiments, including skin damage. The LD50 of F. columnare in zebra fish without skin damage was > 1 x 10(8), indicating an important effect of skin damage.     

Purification of Phosphomannanase and Its Action on the Yeast Cell Wall

An improved assay for phosphomannanase (an enzyme required for the preparation of yeast protoplasts) has been developed based on the release of mannan from yeast cell walls. A procedure for the growth of Bacillus circulans on a large scale for maximal production of the enzyme is described. The culture medium containing the secreted enzyme was concentrated, and the enzyme was purified by protamine sulfate treatment, ammonium sulfate fractionation, gel filtration on P-100, and isoelectric density gradient electrophoresis. Although the enzyme was purified to apparent homogeneity, it still contained laminarinase activity which could not be separated by size or charge. The two enzymatic activities also exhibited two isoelectric points (pH 5.9 and 6.8) on ampholine electrophoresis. The laminarinase was not active on yeast glucan. The enzyme preparation was shown to remove mannan from yeast without removing glucan. Electron microscopic observation supports the idea that this mannan is the outer layer of the yeast wall. Phosphomannanase will produce protoplasts from yeast when supplemented with relatively low amounts of snail enzyme. This activity is present in snail enzyme but appeares to be rate-limiting when snail enzyme alone is used. Phosphomannanase has proven useful for studying the macromolecular organization of polymers in the yeast cell wall.     

Cloning and characterization of the Flavobacterium johnsoniae gliding-motility genes gldB and gldC

The mechanism of bacterial gliding motility (active movement over surfaces without the aid of flagella) is not known. A large number of mutants of the gliding bacterium Flavobacterium johnsoniae (Cytophaga johnsonae) with defects in gliding motility have been previously isolated, and genetic techniques to analyze these mutants have recently been developed. We complemented a nongliding mutant of F. johnsoniae (UW102-99) with a library of wild-type DNA by using the shuttle cosmid pCP26. The complementing plasmid (pCP200) contained an insert of 26 kb and restored gliding motility to 4 of 50 independently isolated nongliding mutants. A 1.9-kb fragment which encompassed two genes, gldB and gldC, complemented all four mutants. An insertion mutation in gldB was polar on gldC, suggesting that the two genes form an operon. Disruption of the chromosomal copy of gldB in wild-type F. johnsoniae UW101 eliminated gliding motility. Introduction of the gldBC operon, or gldB alone, restored motility. gldB appears to be essential for F. johnsoniae gliding motility. It codes for a membrane protein that does not exhibit strong sequence similarity to other proteins in the databases. gldC is not absolutely required for gliding motility, but cells that do not produce GldC form colonies that spread less well than those of the wild type. GldC is a soluble protein and has weak sequence similarity to the fungal lectin AOL.     

Cytophaga-flavobacterium gliding motility

Flavobacterium johnsoniae, like many other members of the Cytophaga-Flavobacterium-Bacteroides group, displays rapid gliding motility. Cells of F. johnsoniae glide over surfaces at rates of up to 10 microm/s. Latex spheres added to F. johnsoniae bind to and are rapidly propelled along cells, suggesting that adhesive molecules move laterally along the cell surface during gliding. Genetic analyses have identified a number of gld genes that are required for gliding. Three Gld proteins are thought to be components of an ATP-binding-cassette transporter. Five other Gld proteins are lipoproteins that localize to the cytoplasmic membrane or outer membrane. Disruption of gld genes results not only in loss of motility, but also in resistance to bacteriophages that infect wild-type cells, and loss of the ability to digest the insoluble polysaccharide chitin. Two models that attempt to incorporate the available data to explain the mechanism of F. johnsoniae gliding are presented.     

Lytic enzyme complex of an antagonistic Bacillus sp. X-b: isolation and purification of components

Bacillus sp. X-b, a biocontrol agent against certain plant pathogenic fungi, secretes a complex of hydrolytic enzymes, composed of chitinase, chitosanase, laminarinase, lipase and protease. Homogenized mycelium of basidiomycete Macrolepiota procera induced activities of these enzymes more effectively than colloidal chitin or partially purified cell walls of another basidiomycete Polyporus squamosus. Subjected to a multi-step purification, the specific activity of chitinase increased 36-fold, chitosanase 69-fold, lipase 44-fold and laminarinase 15-fold. Partially purified chitinase showed two major bands with molecular masses of 46 000 and 35 000 on sodium dodecyl sulfate–polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis while chitosanase and lipase appeared as single bands with molecular masses of 27 000 and 62 000, respectively.     

Purification and determination of the action pattern of Haliotis tuberculata laminarinase

The major laminarinase activity (EC 3.2.1.39) from the gastropodean marine mollusc Haliotis tuberculata was purified to homogeneity by cation exchange chromatography and its action pattern was investigated by HPAEC-PAD analysis of the degradation of various laminarin samples. It consists of a 60 kDa protein capable of depolymerizing the unbranched portions of the β-(1→3), β-(1→6)-glucan, down to laminaritriose. The enzyme operates via a molecular mechanism retaining the anomeric configuration. As the purified protein does not cleave the β-(1→6) linkages, it can be used for the structural analysis of laminarins.     

Laminarinase from Penicillium funiculosum and its role in release of beta-glucosidase

An extracellular laminarinase (1----3)-beta-glucan glucohydrolase (EC 3.2.1.6) was purified from culture filtrates of Penicillium funiculosum. It was homogeneous on polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis in the presence and absence of sodium dodecyl sulfate. It had a Mr of 14,000 and isoelectric point of pH 4.2. The apparent Km value for lamimarinase was 8.3 mg/ml and Vmax was 8 mumol/min/mg. The distribution of beta-glucosidase activity in two different species of Penicillium showed that P. funiculosum had a higher ratio of extracellular to cell wall bound activity than Penicillium janthinellum. Treatment of mycelia of both species with NaCl, EDTA, Triton X-100, or proteolytic enzymes did not release the cell wall bound beta-glucosidase. Incubation of the mycelia with the laminarinase released 2-4 times more beta-glucosidase than the estimated cell bound activity in P. janthinellum and P. funiculosum.     

Mutations in Flavobacterium johnsoniae gldF and gldG disrupt gliding motility and interfere with membrane localization of GldA

Flavobacterium johnsoniae moves rapidly over surfaces by a process known as gliding motility. The mechanism of this form of motility is not known. Four genes that are required for F. johnsoniae gliding motility, gldA, gldB, gldD, and ftsX, have recently been described. GldA is similar to the ATP-hydrolyzing components of ATP binding cassette (ABC) transporters. Tn4351 mutagenesis was used to identify two additional genes, gldF and gldG, that are required for cell movement. gldF and gldG appear to constitute an operon, and a Tn4351 insertion in gldF was polar on gldG. pMK314, which carries the entire gldFG region, restored motility to each of the gldF and gldG mutants. pMK321, which expresses GldG but not GldF, restored motility to each of the gldG mutants but did not complement the gldF mutant. GldF has six putative membrane-spanning segments and is similar in sequence to channel-forming components of ABC transporters. GldG is similar to putative accessory proteins of ABC transporters. It has two apparent membrane-spanning helices, one near the amino terminus and one near the carboxy terminus, and a large intervening loop that is predicted to reside in the periplasm. GldF and GldG are involved in membrane localization of GldA, suggesting that GldA, GldF, and GldG may interact to form a transporter. F. johnsoniae gldA is not closely linked to gldFG, but the gldA, gldF, and gldG homologs of the distantly related gliding bacterium Cytophaga hutchinsonii are arranged in what appears to be an operon. The exact roles of F. johnsoniae GldA, GldF, and GldG in gliding are not known. Sequence similarities of GldA to components of other ABC transporters suggest that the Gld transporter may be involved in export of some material to the periplasm, outer membrane, or beyond.     

Flavobacterium johnsoniae gliding motility genes identified by mariner mutagenesis

Cells of Flavobacterium johnsoniae glide rapidly over surfaces. The mechanism of F. johnsoniae gliding motility is not known. Eight gld genes required for gliding motility have been described. Disruption of any of these genes results in complete loss of gliding motility, deficiency in chitin utilization, and resistance to bacteriophages that infect wild-type cells. Two modified mariner transposons, HimarEm1 and HimarEm2, were constructed to allow the identification of additional motility genes. HimarEm1 and HimarEm2 each transposed in F. johnsoniae, and nonmotile mutants were identified and analyzed. Four novel motility genes, gldK, gldL, gldM, and gldN, were identified. GldK is similar in sequence to the lipoprotein GldJ, which is required for gliding. GldL, GldM, and GldN are not similar in sequence to proteins of known function. Cells with mutations in gldK, gldL, gldM, and gldN were defective in motility and chitin utilization and were resistant to bacteriophages that infect wild-type cells. Introduction of gldA, gldB, gldD, gldFG, gldH, gldI, and gldJ and the region spanning gldK, gldL, gldM, and gldN individually into 50 spontaneous and chemically induced nonmotile mutants restored motility to each of them, suggesting that few additional F. johnsoniae gld genes remain to be identified.     

Crystal structures of the laminarinase catalytic domain from Thermotoga maritima MSB8 in complex with inhibitors: essential residues for β-1,3- and β-1,4-glucan selection

Laminarinases hydrolyzing the β-1,3-linkage of glucans play essential roles in microbial saccharide degradation. Here we report the crystal structures at 1.65-1.82 ? resolution of the catalytic domain of laminarinase from the thermophile Thermotoga maritima with various space groups in the ligand-free form or in the presence of inhibitors gluconolactone and cetyltrimethylammonium. Ligands were bound at the cleft of the active site near an enclosure formed by Trp-232 and a flexible GASIG loop. A closed configuration at the active site cleft was observed in some molecules. The loop flexibility in the enzyme may contribute to the regulation of endo- or exo-activity of the enzyme and a preference to release laminaritrioses in long chain carbohydrate hydrolysis. Glu-137 and Glu-132 are proposed to serve as the proton donor and nucleophile, respectively, in the retaining catalysis of hydrolyzation. Calcium ions in the crystallization media are found to accelerate crystal growth. Comparison of laminarinase and endoglucanase structures revealed the subtle difference of key residues in the active site for the selection of β-1,3-glucan and β-1,4-glucan substrates, respectively. Arg-85 may be pivotal to β-1,3-glucan substrate selection. The similarity of the structures between the laminarinase catalytic domain and its carbohydrate-binding modules may have evolutionary relevance because of the similarities in their folds.
