转座子Tn917诱变的炭疽杆菌芽孢形成缺陷株的筛选 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
目的:诱导转座子Tn917随机插入炭疽杆菌染色体,产生在不同位点突变的突变体库,从中筛选芽孢形成缺陷型突变株。方法:用含转座子Tn917的质粒pLTV3转化炭疽杆菌,以低浓度红霉素诱导转座因发生转座,产生大量的突变株。进而用氯化三苯基四氮唑染色法和复红美蓝染色法从突变体库中筛选芽孢形成缺陷株;用Southern杂交法对芽孢形成缺陷株进行验证。结果:对2000个突变体进行了筛选,共得到6株芽孢形成缺陷株,在LB培养基中培养5d后,镜下仍未见有芽孢形成,呈现明显的芽孢形成缺陷特征。Southern杂交表明野生株无杂交带,突变株均有且只有1条杂交带,且杂交带的位置不尽相同。结论:转座子Tn917可以单拷贝随机诱变炭疽杆菌野生株,产生在不同位点突变的突变株。 相似文献

蜡样芽孢杆菌ATCC14579毒力基因plcR缺失株的构建及其一般特性 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
蜡样芽孢杆菌是土壤中的优势菌,具有作为益生菌的潜在能力,同时它也是条件致病菌,能引起食物中毒等。蜡样芽孢杆菌的多种毒力因子受到多效性调控子(pleiotropic regulator,plcR)的调控,在其条件致病性作用中起着重要作用。真养产碱杆菌JMP34(Alcaligenes eutrophus)质粒上的2,4-二氯苯氧乙酸(2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid,2,4-D)单加氧酶(tfdA)基因可以降解2,4-D。本研究利用同源重组技术使tfdA基因置换掉蜡样芽孢杆菌的plcR基因,构建了蜡样芽孢杆菌ATCC14579突变株B.cereus△plcRΩtf-dA,并对其毒性、一般生理生化特性进行分析。研究结果表明,突变株B.cereus△plcRΩtfdA的毒性显著减弱;生理生化实验结果显示突变株与野生株并没有明显区别,且突变株并没有表现出tfdA酶活性。所有的结果表明plcR控制着蜡样芽孢杆菌ATCC14579的致病性,同时剔除plcR并不破坏其酶系统。本研究为今后构建蜡样芽孢杆菌工程菌提供了新的思路和依据。 相似文献

胸膜肺炎放线杆菌(APP)是重要的猪呼吸道病原菌,给世界养猪业造成严重的经济损失.信号标签突变(STM)技术是在宿主动物体内鉴定病原菌毒力因子的高通量方法.通过体外传代选育出APP血清1型和3型萘啶酸抗性菌株,再以萘啶酸抗性菌株为受体菌,以携带mini-Tn10的标签质粒(pLOF/TAG1-48)的E.coli CC118 λ pir或S17-1λpir为供体菌,在或不在E.coli DH5α(pRK2073)的辅助下,进行三亲本或两亲本接合,通过抗性筛选、PCR和Southern杂交鉴定转座突变株.结果表明:体外萘啶酸加压传代很容易选育出萘啶酸抗性APP菌株,该抗性的产生与DNA促旋酶A亚基基因gyrA的突变有关.在APP与E. coli接合实验中,两亲本接合比三亲本接合操作更简单,效率也较高;APP不同菌株在接合和转座效率上存在很大差异,血清1型菌株高于血清3型菌株,3型标准菌株高于地方分离株JL03-R.本研究为APP STM突变体库的构建与毒力基因的鉴定奠定了基础. 相似文献

A transposon site hybridization (TraSH) assay was developed for functional analysis of the Bacillus anthracis genome using a mini-Tn10 transposon which permitted analysis of 82% of this pathogen's genes. The system, used to identify genes required for generation of infectious anthrax spores, spore germination, and optimal growth on rich medium, was predictive of the contributions of two conserved hypothetical genes for the phenotypes examined. 相似文献

Bacillus thuringiensis strain BUPM4 is known for its ability to produce a bacteriocin, called Bacthuricin F4 (BF4), which inhibits the growth of several Gram-positive bacteria and particularly Bacillaceae . This study aimed to use the insertional transposon mutagenesis approach for disrupting and thus identifying genes associated with BF4 synthesis. Here, the mini-Tn 10 transposon was used to generate a library of B. thuringiensis mutants. Twenty thousand clones were screened for the search of mutants with affected bacteriocin synthesis. By molecular hybridization, it was demonstrated that the mini-Tn 10 transposition occurred in different sites. Clone MB1, containing a mini-Tn 10 single-copy insertion, lost the BF4 synthesis, but maintained its immunity to BF4. The flanking sequences surrounding the mini-Tn 10 insertion were cloned and sequenced. Homology searches of the surrounding ORFs revealed a strong similarity to a phage tail component, which allowed us to postulate that BUPM4 bacteriocin could be a phage tail-like one. 相似文献

In vivo genetic footprinting was developed in the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae to simultaneously assess the importance of thousands of genes for the fitness of the cell under any growth condition. We have developed in vivo genetic footprinting for Escherichia coli, a model bacterium and pathogen. We further demonstrate the utility of this technology for rapidly discovering genes that affect the fitness of E. coli under a variety of growth conditions. The definitive features of this system include a conditionally regulated Tn10 transposase with relaxed sequence specificity and a conditionally regulated replicon for the vector containing the transposase and mini-Tn10 transposon with an outwardly oriented promoter. This system results in a high frequency of randomly distributed transposon insertions, eliminating the need for the selection of a population containing transposon insertions, stringent suppression of transposon mutagenesis, and few polar effects. Successful footprints have been achieved for most genes longer than 400 bp, including genes located in operons. In addition, the ability of recombinant proteins to complement mutagenized hosts has been evaluated by genetic footprinting using a bacteriophage lambda transposon delivery system. 相似文献

Two new transposon delivery vector systems utilizing Mariner and mini-Tn10 transposons have been developed for in vivo insertional mutagenesis in Bacillus anthracis and other compatible Gram-positive species. The utility of both systems was directly demonstrated through the mutagenesis of a widely used B. anthracis strain. 相似文献

A Tn7 donor plasmid, pTn7SX, was constructed for use with the model gram-positive bacterium Bacillus subtilis. This new mini-Tn7, mTn7SX, contains a spectinomycin resistance cassette and an outward-facing, xylose-inducible promoter, thereby allowing for the regulated expression of genes downstream of the transposon. We demonstrate that mTn7SX inserts are obtained at a high frequency and occur randomly throughout the B. subtilis genome. The utility of this system was demonstrated by the selection of mutants with increased resistance to the antibiotic fosfomycin or duramycin. 相似文献

Molecular genetic studies of Acinetobacter spp. have been greatly limited by the lack of a method for transposon mutagenesis. In this study, a genetically engineered derivative of Tn10, mini-Tn10PttKm, was conjugally transferred in plate matings from Escherichia coli SM10[(lambda pir)(pLOFPttKm)] to Acinetobacter calcoaceticus RAG-1. Transfer frequencies were dependent on mating ratios and varied from 7.9 x 10(-8) to 3.4 x 10(-7) per recipient cell. The 27 lipase-deficient transconjugants which were isolated exhibited several different phenotypes, including gelatinase mutants, esterase mutants, and putative auxotrophs. Southern blot analysis confirmed the insertion of the mini-Tn10PttKm transposon in single, unique sites in five transconjugants. Four of five lipase mutants contained single insertions of mini-Tn10PttKm in the same chromosomal restriction fragments. To our knowledge, this is the first report of the use of a transposon for direct, generalized mutagenesis in Acinetobacter spp. 相似文献

A mini-Tn5 transposon derivative, mini-Tn5gfp-km, has been constructed which contained a promoter-less artificial operon consisting of two open reading frames, green fluorescent protein (GFP) and neomycin phosphotransferase II (NptII). When this transposon was used to mutagenize Agrobacterium tumefaciens, all the mutants selected in the presence of kanamycin exhibited GFP expression, which could be conveniently monitored by a fluorometer. The transposon appeared to be bifunctional and could provide both selection and reporter functions. Even the mutants showing minimal levels of GFP expression were still resistant to kanamycin. This suggests that this transposon can be used to select for insertions downstream of both weak and strong promoters, as long as the insertions themselves are non-lethal. This system was used to identify A. tumefaciens genes that were upregulated in response to acidic pH. Screening only 20 colonies led to identification of two promoters that were specifically induced by low pH and one promoter that was specifically induced by acetosyringone in a minimal medium of pH 5.5. 相似文献
