Ribosomal protein S1 of Mycobacterium tuberculosis (MtRpsA) binds to ribosome and mRNA, and plays significant role in the regulation of translation initiation, conventional protein synthesis and transfer-messenger RNA (tmRNA) mediated trans-translation. It has been identified as the target of pyrazinoic acid (POA), a bactericidal moiety from hydrolysis of pyrazinamide, which is a mainstay of combination therapy for tuberculosis. POA prevented the interactions between the C-terminal S1 domain of MtRpsA (residues 280–368, MtRpsACTD_S1) and tmRNA; so that POA can inhibit the trans-translation, which is a key component of multiple quality control pathways in bacteria. However, the details of molecular mechanism and dynamic characteristics for MtRpsACTD_S1 interactions with POA, tmRNA or mRNA are still unclear. Here we present the 1H, 15N, 13C resonance assignments of MtRpsACTD_S1 as well as the secondary structure information based on backbone chemical shifts, which lay foundation for further solution structure determination, dynamic properties characterization and interactions investigation between MtRpsACTD_S1 and tmRNA, RNA or POA.  相似文献

A novel actinomycete strain designated S2T was isolated from Tunisian rhizosphere soil of Lavandula officinalis. This isolate exhibited broad spectrum antibacterial activity against several Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria and also antifungal activity against yeast and filamentous fungi. The isolate S2T presents morphological and chemotaxonomic characteristics typical of the members of the genus Streptomyces. Whole cell hydrolysates of S2T were found to contain LL-diaminopimelic acid. The major fatty acids were identified as C16:0, anteiso-C15:0 and iso-C16:0 whereas the predominant menaquinones were found to be MK-9(H6) and MK-9(H8). The polar lipids were identified as diphosphatidylglycerol, phosphatidylethanolamine, phosphatidylglycerol, phosphatidylinositol, phosphatidylinositol mannoside and three unidentified compounds. The G+C content of the genomic DNA was determined to be 71.8 mol%. Phylogenetic analysis based on 16S rRNA gene sequences indicated that strain S2T belongs to the genus Streptomyces and is closely related to Streptomyces netropsis DSM 40259T with 99.86% sequence similarity. Multi-locus sequence analysis (MLSA) based on four house-keeping gene alleles (gyrB, recA, trpB, rpoB) showed that isolate S2T is closely related to S. netropsis, with an MLSA distance greater than 0.007. The DNA–DNA relatedness between strain S2T and its near phylogenetic neighbour was 63.6 ± 2.3%, which is lower than the 70% threshold value for delineation of genomic prokaryotic species. This isolate was also distinguished from the type strain S. netropsis DSM 40259T, using a combination of morphological and physiological features. Based on its phenotypic and molecular properties, strain S2T is considered to represent a novel species of the genus Streptomyces, for which the name Streptomyces tunisialbus sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is S2T (= JCM 32165T = DSM 105760T).  相似文献

Sixteen yeast isolates identified as belonging to the genus Sugiyamaella were studied in relation to D-xylose fermentation, xylitol production, and xylanase activities. The yeasts were recovered from rotting wood and sugarcane bagasse samples in different Brazilian regions. Sequence analyses of the internal transcribed spacer (ITS) region and the D1/D2 domains of large subunit rRNA gene showed that these isolates belong to seven new species. The species are described here as Sugiyamaella ayubii f.a., sp. nov. (UFMG-CM-Y607T = CBS 14108T), Sugiyamaella bahiana f.a., sp. nov. (UFMG-CM-Y304T = CBS 13474T), Sugiyamaella bonitensis f.a., sp. nov. (UFMG-CM-Y608T = CBS 14270T), Sugiyamaella carassensis f.a., sp. nov. (UFMG-CM-Y606T = CBS 14107T), Sugiyamaella ligni f.a., sp. nov. (UFMG-CM-Y295T = CBS 13482T), Sugiyamaella valenteae f.a., sp. nov. (UFMG-CM-Y609T = CBS 14109T) and Sugiyamaella xylolytica f.a., sp. nov. (UFMG-CM-Y348T = CBS 13493T). Strains of the described species S. boreocaroliniensis, S. lignohabitans, S. novakii and S. xylanicola, isolated from rotting wood of Brazilian ecosystems, were also compared for traits relevant to xylose metabolism. S. valenteae sp. nov., S. xylolytica sp. nov., S. bahiana sp. nov., S. bonitensis sp. nov., S. boreocarolinensis, S. lignohabitans and S. xylanicola were able to ferment d-xylose to ethanol. Xylitol production was observed for all Sugiyamaella species studied, except for S. ayubii sp. nov. All species studied showed xylanolytic activity, with S. xylanicola, S. lignohabitans and S. valenteae sp. nov. having the highest values. Our results suggest these Sugiyamaella species have good potential for biotechnological applications.  相似文献

A Gram-stain-negative, non-motile, non-spore-forming, rodshaped, aerobic bacterial strain, designated S1-2-2-5T, was isolated from the Jeollabuk-do province, Republic of Korea, and was characterized taxonomically using a polyphasic approach. Comparative 16S rRNA gene sequence analysis showed that strain S1-2-2-5T belonged to the family Cytophagaceae in phylum Bacteroidetes, and was most closely related to Hymenobacter terrae DG7AT (98.2%), Hymenobacter rubidus DG7BT (98.0%), Hymenobacter soli PB17T (97.7%), Hymenobacter daeguensis 16F3Y-2T (97.2%) and Hymenobacter saemangeumensis GSR0100T (97.0%). The G + C content of the genomic DNA of strain S1-2-2-5T was 59.4 mol%. The detection of menaquinone MK-7 as the predominant respiratory quinone, a fatty acid profile with summed feature 3 (C16:1ω7c/C16:1ω6c; 32.0%), C15:0 iso (19.0%), and C15:0 anteiso (15.0%) as the major components, and a polar lipid profile with phosphatidylethanolamine as the major component supported the affiliation of strain S1-2-2-5T to the genus Hymenobacter. The DNA-DNA relatedness between strain S1-2-2-5T and H. terrae KCTC 32554T, H. rubidus KCTC 32553T, H. soli KCTC 12607T, H. daeguensis KCTC 52537T, and H. saemangeumensis KACC 16452T were 49.5, 48.2, 34.1, 28.1, and 31.8% respectively, clearly showing that the isolate is not related to them at the species level. Strain S1-2-2-5T could be clearly differentiated from its closest neighbors on the basis of its phenotypic, genotypic and chemotaxonomic features. Therefore, strain S1-2-2-5T represents a novel species of the genus Hymenobacter, for which the name Hymenobacter terrigena sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is S1-2-2-5T (= KCTC 52737T = JCM 32195T).  相似文献

One important mechanism plants use to cope with salinity is keeping the cytosolic Na+ concentration low by sequestering Na+ in vacuoles, a process facilitated by Na+/H+ exchangers (NHX). There are eight NHX genes (NHX1 through NHX8) identified and characterized in Arabidopsis thaliana. Bioinformatics analyses of the known Arabidopsis genes enabled us to identify six Medicago truncatula NHX genes (MtNHX1, MtNHX2, MtNHX3, MtNHX4, MtNHX6, and MtNHX7). Twelve transmembrane domains and an amiloride binding site were conserved in five out of six MtNHX proteins. Phylogenetic analysis involving A. thaliana, Glycine max, Phaseolus vulgaris, and M. truncatula revealed that each individual MtNHX class (class I: MtNHX1 through 4; class II: MtNHX6; class III: MtNHX7) falls under a separate clade. In a salinity-stress experiment, M. truncatula exhibited ~?20% reduction in biomass. In the salinity treatment, sodium contents increased by 178 and 75% in leaves and roots, respectively, and Cl? contents increased by 152 and 162%, respectively. Na+ exclusion may be responsible for the relatively smaller increase in Na+ concentration in roots under salt stress as compared to Cl?. Decline in tissue K+ concentration under salinity was not surprising as some antiporters play an important role in transporting both Na+ and K + . MtNHX1, MtNHX6, and MtNHX7 display high expression in roots and leaves. MtNHX3, MtNHX6, and MtNHX7 were induced in roots under salinity stress. Expression analysis results indicate that sequestering Na+ into vacuoles may not be the principal component trait of the salt tolerance mechanism in M. truncatula and other component traits may be pivotal.  相似文献

A Gram-staining-negative, non-motile, curved rod-shaped, aerobic bacterium, designated S1-2-4T, was isolated from soil in Jeollabuk-do province, Republic of Korea, and was characterized taxonomically using a polyphasic approach. Comparative 16S rRNA gene sequence analysis showed that strain S1-2-4T was a member of the family Cytophagaceae and most closely related to ‘Spirosoma radiotolerans’ DG5A (97.2%), Spirosoma fluviale MSd3T (96.4%), and Spirosoma linguale DSM 74T (96.3%). The genomic DNA G + C content of strain S1-2-4T was 49.7 mol%. The major fatty acids were summed feature 3 (C16:1ω7c/C16:1ω6c), C16:1ω5c, and C16:0, and the major polar lipid was phosphatidylethanolamine. MK-7 was the predominant respiratory quinone. Phenotypic and chemotaxonomic data supported the affiliation of strain S1-2-4T with the genus Spirosoma. DNA-DNA hybridization between strain S1-2-4T and ‘Spirosoma radiotolerans’ showed relatively low DNA-DNA relatedness (31%). Strain S1-2-4T could be distinguished from its closest phylogenetic neighbors based on its phenotypic, genotypic, and chemotaxonomic features. Therefore, strain S1-2-4T represents a novel member of the genus Spirosoma, for which the name Spirosoma lituiforme sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is S1-2-4T (= KCTC 52724T = JCM 32128T).  相似文献

The objective was to understand the roles of multiple catechol dioxygenases in the type strain Sphingobium scionense WP01T (Liang and Lloyd-Jones in Int J Syst Evol Microbiol 60:413–416, 2010a) that was isolated from severely contaminated sawmill soil. The dioxygenases were identified by sequencing, examined by determining the substrate specificities of the recombinant enzymes, and by quantifying gene expression following exposure to model priority pollutants. Catechol dioxygenase genes encoding an extradiol xylE and two intradiol dioxygenases catA and clcA that are highly similar to sequences described in other sphingomonads are described in S. scionense WP01T. The distinct substrate specificities determined for the recombinant enzymes confirm the annotated gene functions and suggest different catabolic roles for each enzyme. The role of the three enzymes was evaluated by analysis of enzyme activity in crude cell extracts from cells grown on meta-toluate, benzoate, biphenyl, naphthalene and phenanthrene which revealed the co-induction of each enzyme by different substrates. This was corroborated by quantifying gene expression when cells were induced by biphenyl, naphthalene and pentachlorophenol. It is concluded that the ClcA and XylE enzymes are recruited in pathways that are involved in the degradation of chlorinated aromatic compounds such as pentachlorophenol, the XylE and ClcA enzymes will also play a role in degradation pathways that produce alkylcatechols, while the three enzymes ClcA, XylE and CatA will be simultaneously involved in pathways that generate catechol as a degradation pathway intermediate.  相似文献

An endophytic actinobacterial strain was isolated from a yellowwood tree growing on the slope of Devil’s Peak, Cape Town, South Africa. Analysis of the 16S rRNA gene showed that the strain belongs to the genus Kribbella. Phylogenetic analyses using the 16S rRNA gene and multilocus sequence analysis using the concatenated gene sequences of the gyrB, rpoB, relA, recA and atpD genes showed that strain YPL1T is closely related to the type strains of Kribbella karoonensis and Kribbella shirazensis. DDH experiments showed that strain YPL1T is a distinct genomic species from its close phylogenetic relative, K. karoonensis Q41T. Physiological comparisons further showed that strain YPL1T is phenotypically distinct from the type strains of Kribbella jejuensis, Kribbella aluminosa, K. karoonensis, K. shirazensis and Kribbella swartbergensis. Strain YPL1T is thus presented as the type strain of a novel species, for which the name Kribbella podocarpi sp. nov. (= DSM 29424T = NRRL B-65063T), is proposed.  相似文献

Twenty four rhizobial strains were isolated from root nodules of Melilotus, Medicago and Trigonella plants growing wild in soils throughout Egypt. The nearly complete 16S rRNA gene sequence from each strain showed that 12 strains (50 %) were closely related to the Ensifer meliloti LMG6133T type strain with identity values higher than 99.0 %, that 9 (37.5 %) strains were more than 99 % identical to the E. medicae WSM419T type strain, and that 3 (12.5 %) strains showed 100 % identity with the type strain of N. huautlense S02T. Accordingly, the diversity of rhizobial strains nodulating wild Melilotus, Medicago and Trigonella species in Egypt is marked by predominance of two genetic types, E. meliloti and E. medicae, although the frequency of isolation was slightly higher in E. meliloti. Sequencing of the symbiotic nodC gene from selected Medicago and Melilotus strains revealed that they were all similar to those of the E. meliloti LMG6133T and E. medicae WSM419T type strains, respectively. Similarly, nodC sequences of strains identified as members of the genus Neorhizobium were more than 99 % identical to that of N. galegae symbiovar officinalis HAMBI 114.  相似文献

The dopamine (DA) content and the level of juvenile hormone (JH) degradation were studied in females of the wild-type Canton S strain and the ecdysoneless 1 (ecd 1) mutant, which does not produce ecdysone at a restrictive temperature (29°C). Exposure at the restrictive temperature considerably increased the JH-hydrolyzing activity and the DA content in five-day ecd 1 females compared with flies of both strains growing at 19°C and Canton S females exposed at 29°C. In one-day ecd 1 females, the level of JH degradation also increased at the restrictive temperature, but the DA content was low. The effect of ecdysone deficiency on the stress reaction in Drosophila melanogaster females was studied using changes in DA content and JH degradation as the reaction indicators. The ecd 1 mutation did not prevent the initiation of the stress reaction in females exposed at the restrictive temperature, but changed its intensity (stress reactivity). The interaction of 20-hydroxyecdysone with JH and DA in regulating Drosophila reproduction under normal conditions and in stress is discussed.  相似文献

A yellow pigmented bacterium designated strain MBLN094T within the family Flavobacteriaceae was isolated from a halophyte Salicornia europaea on the coast of the Yellow Sea. This strain was a Gram-stain negative, aerobic, non-spore forming, rod-shaped bacterium. Phylogenetic analysis of the 16S rRNA gene sequence of strain MBLN094T was found to be related to the genus Zunongwangia, exhibiting 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity values of 97.0, 96.8, 96.4, and 96.3% to Zunongwangia mangrovi P2E16T, Z. profunda SM-A87T, Z. atlantica 22II14-10F7T, and Z. endophytica CPA58T, respectively. Strain MBLN094T grew at 20?37°C (optimum, 25?30°C), at pH 6.0?10.0 (optimum, 7.0?8.0), and with 0.5?15.0% (w/v) NaCl (optimum, 2.0?5.0%). Menaquinone MK-6 was the sole respiratory quinone. The polar lipids were phosphatidylethanolamine, two unidentified aminolipids, and four unidentified lipids. Major fatty acids were iso-C17:0 3-OH, summed feature 3 (C16:1ω6c and/or C16:1 ω7c), and iso-C15:0. The genomic DNA G + C content was 37.4 mol%. Based on these polyphasic taxonomic data, strain MBLN094T is considered to represent a novel species of the genus Zunongwangia, for which the name Zunongwangia flava sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is MBLN094T (= KCTC 62279T = JCM 32262T).  相似文献

Photochemically induced dynamic nuclear polarization (photo-CIDNP) has been observed in the homodimeric, type-1 photochemical reaction centers (RCs) of the acidobacterium, Chloracidobacterium (Cab.) thermophilum, by 15N magic-angle spinning (MAS) solid-state NMR under continuous white-light illumination. Three light-induced emissive (negative) signals are detected. In the RCs of Cab. thermophilum, three types of (bacterio)chlorophylls have previously been identified: bacteriochlorophyll a (BChl a), chlorophyll a (Chl a), and Zn-bacteriochlorophyll a′ (Zn-BChl a′) (Tsukatani et al. in J Biol Chem 287:5720–5732, 2012). Based upon experimental and quantum chemical 15N NMR data, we assign the observed signals to a Chl a cofactor. We exclude Zn-BChl because of its measured spectroscopic properties. We conclude that Chl a is the primary electron acceptor, which implies that the primary donor is most likely Zn-BChl a′. Chl a and 81-OH Chl a have been shown to be the primary electron acceptors in green sulfur bacteria and heliobacteria, respectively, and thus a Chl a molecule serves this role in all known homodimeric type-1 RCs.  相似文献

A Gram-stain negative, aerobic, motile by flagella, rod-shaped strain (THG-T16T) was isolated from rhizosphere of Hibiscus syriacus. Growth occurred at 10–40 °C (optimum 28–30 °C), at pH 6.0–8.0 (optimum 7.0) and at 0–1.0% NaCl (optimum 0%). Based on 16S rRNA gene sequence analysis, the near phylogenetic neighbours of strain THG-T16T were identified as Nibribacter koreensis KACC 16450T (98.6%), Rufibacter roseus KCTC 42217T (94.7%), Rufibacter immobilis CCTCC AB 2013351T (94.5%) and Rufibacter tibetensis CCTCC AB 208084T (94.4%). The DNA G+C content of strain THG-T16T was determined to be 46.7 mol%. DNA–DNA hybridization values between strain THG-T16T and N. koreensis KACC 16450T, R. roseus KCTC 42217T, R. immobilis CCTCC AB 2013351T, R.tibetensis CCTCC AB 208084T were 33.5?±?0.5% (31.7?±?0.7% reciprocal analysis), 28.1?±?0.2% (25.2?±?0.2%), 17.1?±?0.9% (10.2?±?0.6%) and 8.1?±?0.3% (5.2?±?0.1%). The polar lipids were identified as phosphatidylethanolamine, two unidentified aminophospholipids, an unidentified aminolipid and three unidentified lipids. The quinone was identified as MK-7 and the polyamine as sym-homospermidine. The major fatty acids were identified as C16:1 ω5c, C17:1 ω6c, iso-C15:0, summed feature 3 (C16:1 ω7c and/or C16:1 ω6c) and summed feature 4 (iso-C17:1 I and/or anteiso-C17:1 B). On the basis of the phylogenetic analysis, chemotaxonomic data, physiological characteristics, and DNA–DNA hybridization data, strain THG-T16T represents a novel species of the genus Nibribacter, for which the name Nibribacter flagellatus sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is THG-T16T(=?KACC 19188T?=?CCTCC AB 2016246T).  相似文献

A Gram-stain-negative, strictly aerobic, non-motile and rod-shaped bacterial strain, designated T5T, was isolated from the Chishui River in Maotai town, Guizhou Province, Southwest of China. Strain T5T was found to grow optimally at pH 9.0 and 25 °C. The 16S rRNA gene sequence analysis indicated that strain T5T belongs to the family Sphingomonadaceae within the phylum Proteobacteria; the strain T5T clustered with the type strains of Sphingopyxis contaminans, Sphingorhabdus wooponensis and Sphingorhabdus rigui, with which it exhibits 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity values of 96.2–96.9%. The DNA G+C content was 58.5 mol%. The major respiratory quinone was Q-10 and the major polar lipid was phosphatidylethanolamine. The major polyamine was homospermidine and the major fatty acids were C18:1 ω7c (37.5%) and C16:1 ω7c (30.1%). On the basis of phylogenetic, phenotypic and genetic data, strain T5T represents a novel species of the genus Sphingorhabdus, for which the name Sphingorhabdus buctiana sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is T5T (= CGMCC 1.12929T = JCM 30114T). It is also proposed that Sphingopyxis contaminans should be reclassified as a member of the genus Sphingorhabdus.  相似文献

The Na+/H+ antiporters play an important role in salt tolerance in plants. However, the functions of OsNHXs in rice except OsNHX1 have not been well studied. Using the gain- and loss-of-function strategies, we studied the potential role of OsNHX2 in salt tolerance in rice. Overexpression of OsNHX2 (OsNHX2-OE) in rice showed the significant tolerance to salt stress than wild-type plants and OsNHX2 knockdown transgenic plants (OsNHX2-KD). Under salt treatments of 300-mM NaCl for 5 days, the plant fresh weights, relative water percentages, shoot heights, Na+ contents, K+ contents, and K+/Na+ ratios in leaves of OsNHX2-OE transgenic plants were higher than those in wild-type plants, while no differences were detected in roots. K+/Na+ ratios in rice leaf mesophyll cells and bundle sheath cells were higher in OsNHX2-OE transgenic plants than in wild-type plants and OsNHX2-KD transgenic plants. Our data indicate that OsNHX2 plays an important role in salt stress based on leaf mesophyll cells and bundle sheath cells and can be served in genetically engineering crop plants with enhanced salt tolerance.  相似文献

A bacterial isolate was recovered from a soil sample collected in Jeollabuk-do Province, South Korea, and subjected to polyphasic taxonomic assessment. Cells of the isolate, designated strain S1-2-1-2-1T, were observed to be rod-shaped, pink in color, and Gram-stain negative. The strain was able to grow at temperature range from 10 to 30 °C, with an optimum of 25 °C, and growth occurred at pH 6–8. Comparative 16S rRNA gene sequence analysis showed that strain S1-2-1-2-1T belongs to the genus Hymenobacter, with closely related type strains being Hymenobacter daeguensis 16F3Y-2T (95.8% similarity), Hymenobacter rubidus DG7BT (95.8%), Hymenobacter soli PBT (95.7%), Hymenobacter terrenus MIMtkLc17T (95.6%), Hymenobacter terrae DG7AT (95.3%), and Hymenobacter saemangeumensis GSR0100T (95.2%). The genomic DNA G+C content of strain S1-2-1-2-1T was 63.0 mol%. The main polar lipid of this strain was phosphatidylethanolamine, the predominant respiratory quinone was menaquinone-7, and the major fatty acids were C15:0 iso (27.3%), summed feature 3 (C16:1 ω7c/C16:1 ω6c) (16.5%), C15:0 anteiso (15.3%), and C16:0 (14.7%), supporting the affiliation of this strain with the genus Hymenobacter. The results of this polyphasic analysis allowed for the genotypic and phenotypic differentiation of strain S1-2-1-2-1T from recognized Hymenobacter species. On the basis of its phenotypic properties, genotypic distinctiveness, and chemotaxonomic features, strain S1-2-1-2-1T is considered to represent a novel species of the genus Hymenobacter, for which the name Hymenobacter agri sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is S1-2-1-2-1T (=KCTC 52739T?=?JCM 32194T).  相似文献
