The chlorosis-inducing phytotoxin coronatine is produced by several Pseudomonas syringae pathovars, including glycinea, morsprunorum, atropurpurea, and the closely related tomato and maculicola. To date, all coronatine-producing pv. glycinea, morsprunorum, and atropurpurea strains that have been examined carry the gene cluster that controls toxin production on a large plasmid. In the present study the genomic location of the coronatine gene cluster was determined for coronatine-producing strains of the pv. tomato-maculicola group by subjecting their genomic DNA to pulsed-field electrophoresis and Southern blot analysis with a hybridization probe from the coronatine gene cluster. The cluster was chromosomally borne in 10 of the 22 strains screened. These 10 strains infected both crucifers and tomatoes but could not use sorbitol as a sole source of carbon. The remaining 12 coronatine-producing strains had plasmid-borne toxin gene clusters and used sorbitol as a carbon source. Only one of these strains was pathogenic on both crucifers and tomatoes; the remainder infected just tomatoes. Restriction fragment length polymorphism analysis of the pv. tomato-maculicola coronatine gene clusters was performed with probes from P. syringae pv. tomato DC3000, a tomato and crucifer pathogen. Although the coronatine cluster appeared, in general, to be highly conserved across the pv. tomato-maculicola group, there were significant differences between plasmid-borne and chromosomally borne genes. The extensively studied coronatine cluster of pv. glycinea 4180 closely resembled the plasmid-borne clusters of the pv. tomato-maculicola group. 相似文献

The relationships among strains of Pseudomonas syringae pv. tomato, Ps. syr. antirrhini, Ps. syr. maculicola, Ps. syr. apii and a strain isolated from squash were examined by restriction fragment length polymorphism (RFLP) patterns, nutritional characteristics, host of origin and host ranges. All strains tested except for Ps. syr. maculicola 4326 isolated from radish ( Raphanus sativus L.) constitute a closely related group. No polymorphism was seen among strains probed with the 5.7 and 2.3 kb Eco RI fragments which lie adjacent to the hrp cluster of Ps. syr. tomato and the 8.6 kb Eco RI insert of pBG2, a plasmid carrying the β-glucosidase gene(s). All strains tested had overlapping host ranges. In contrast to this, comparison of strains by RFLP patterns of sequences homologous to the 4.5 kb Hind III fragment of pRut2 and nutritional properties distinguished four groups. Group 1, consisting of strains of pathovars maculicola, tomato and apii , had similar RFLP patterns and used homoserine but not sorbitol as carbon sources. Group 2, consisting of strains of pathovars maculicola and tomato , differed from Group 1 in RFLP patterns and did not use either homoserine or sorbitol. Group 3 was similar to Group 2 in RFLP patterns but utilized homoserine and sorbitol. This group included strains of the pathovars tomato and antirrhini , and a strain isolated from squash. Group 4, a single strain of Ps. syr. maculicola isolated from radish, had unique RFLP patterns and resembled Group 3 nutritionally. The evolutionary relationships of these strains are discussed. 相似文献

Abstract Syringomycin and syringopeptin are lipodepsipeptide phytotoxins produced by Pseudomonas syringae pv. syringae . Four syr genes were identified previously and hypothesized to be involved in the regulation ( syrA ), biosynthesis ( syrB and syrC ), or export ( syrD ) of syringomycin. This study determines the influence of syr mutations on the composition of phytotoxic metabolites produced by P. syringae pv. syringae strain B301D-R. Levels of syringomycin and syringopeptin produced in liquid cultures were estimated by reverse phase HPLC analyses and differential antimicrobial assays. Significant quantities of syringopeptin were produced by both syrB and syrC mutants despite their inability to produce syringomycin. Only trace quantities of both lipodepsipeptides were produced by syrA and syrD mutants of P. syringae pv. syringae . These results indicate that syringomycin and syringopeptin are synthesized by separate pathways, but may share common mechanisms for secretion and regulation. 相似文献

Optimal laboratory conditions for studying chemotaxis by Pseudomonas syringae pv. tomato were determined by using the Adler capillary tube assay. Although they are not an absolute requirement for chemotaxis, the presence of 0.1 mM EDTA and 1 mM MgCl2 in the chemotaxis buffer (10 mM potassium phosphate [pH 7.2]) significantly enhanced the response to attractant. The addition of mannitol as an energy source had little effect. The optimal temperature for chemotaxis was 23°C, which is 5°C below the optimal growth temperature for this pathogen. The best response occurred when the bacteria were exposed to attractant for 60 min at a concentration of approximately 5 × 106 CFU/ml. P. syringae pv. tomato was strongly attracted to citric and malic acids, which are the predominant organic acids in tomato fruit. With the exception of asparagine, the major amino acids of tomatoes were weak to moderate attractants. Glucose and fructose, which account for approximately 47% of tomato dry matter, also elicited poor responses. In assays with tomato intercellular fluid and leaf surface water, the bacterial speck pathogen could not chemotactically distinguish between a resistant and a susceptible cultivar of tomato. 相似文献

We report the initial characterization of glucans present in the periplasmic space of Pseudomonas syringae pv. syringae (strain R32). These compounds were found to be neutral, unsubstituted, and composed solely of glucose. Their size ranges from 6 to 13 glucose units/mol. Linkage studies and nuclear magnetic resonance analyses demonstrated that the glucans are linked by beta-1,2 and beta-1,6 glycosidic bonds. In contrast to the periplasmic glucans found in other plant pathogenic bacteria, the glucans of P. syringae pv. syringae are not cyclic but are highly branched structures. Acetolysis studies demonstrated that the backbone consists of beta-1,2-linked glucose units to which the branches are attached by beta-1,6 linkages. These periplasmic glucans were more abundant when the osmolarity of the growth medium was lower. Thus, P. syringae pv. syringae appears to synthesize periplasmic glucans in response to the osmolarity of the medium. The structural characteristics of these glucans are very similar to the membrane-derived oligosaccharides of Escherichia coli, apart from the neutral character, which contrasts with the highly anionic E. coli membrane-derived oligosaccharides. 相似文献

Two types of necrosis-inducing lipodepsipeptide toxins, called syringomycin and syringopeptin, are major virulence factors of Pseudomonas syringae pv. syringae strain B301D. A previous study showed that a locus, called syrA, was required for both syringomycin production and plant pathogenicity, and the syrA locus was speculated to encode a regulator of toxin production. In this study, sequence analysis of the 8-kb genomic DNA fragment that complements the syrA phenotype revealed high conservation among a broad spectrum of fluorescent pseudomonads. The putative protein encoded by open reading frame 4 (ORF4) (1,299 bp) in the syrA locus region exhibited 85% identity to ArgA, which is involved in arginine biosynthesis in Pseudomonas aeruginosa. Growth of strain W4S2545, the syrA mutant, required supplementation of N minimal medium with arginine. Similarly, syringomycin production of syrA mutant W4S2545 was restored by the addition of arginine to culture media. Furthermore, the insertion of Tn5 in the genome of the syrA mutant W4S2545 was localized between nucleotides 146 and 147 in ORF4, and syringomycin production was complemented in trans with the wild-type DNA fragment containing intact ORF4. These results demonstrate that the syrA locus is the argA gene of P. syringae pv. syringae and that argA is directly involved in arginine biosynthesis and therefore indirectly affects syringomycin production because of arginine deficiency. 相似文献

The production of monoclonal antibodies (MAbs) to ethylenediamine tetraacetic acid (sodium salt) soluble antigens of Pseudomonas syringae pv. phaseolicola and Xanthomonas campestris pv. phaseoli (fuscans strain) is described. MAbs A6-1 and A6-2 produced to Ps. syringae pv. phaseolicola are pathovar specific. Although MAb XP2 produced to X. campestris pv. phaseoli recognized surface antigens of all strains of this pathovar (including fuscans strains) it cross-reacted specifically with X. campestris pv. malvacearum; it did not react with any other known bacteria or unidentified epiphytes from navy bean seed or leaves. The isotype of both MAbs XP2 and A6-1 is IgG3 whereas that of MAb A6-2 is IgG2a. The reactive antigens are thermostable, but their chemical nature has not been determined. 相似文献

Ethylene Production by Cell-Free Extract of the Kudzu Strain of Pseudomonas syringae pv.phaseolicola
A cell-free ethylene-forming system of Pseudomonas syringaepv.phaseolicola (Kudzu strain) was characterized by its psychrophilictrait. Ethylene was most effectively produced from -ketoglutaricacid (-KG) at 0.5 mM followed by glutamate and then istidineat 5 to 10 mM. The presence of FeSO4 was essential to the cell-freesystem. DTT and histidine greatly stimulated ethylene production;the latter could be substituted to some extent by its analogues.The optimum pH value and temperature for the ethylene-formingreactions were pH 7.0 and 25?C, respectively. Ethylene formationfrom -KG was inhibited in the presence of carbonates or organicacids of the TCA cycle, whereas that from glutamate was inhibitedin the presence of ammonium salts. Ethylene production from-keto--methylthiobutyric acid in the cell-free system was largelydependent on non-enzymical processes in the presence of DTTand FeSO4. The ethylene-forming reactions were inhibited completelyby 1 mM n-propyl gallate and 1 mM p-chloromercuribenzoic acidand partly by coenzymes such as pyridoxal-1-phosphate, folicacid, and flavin mononucleotide at 5mM. The complete systemfor the highest ethylene production consisted of: 0.5 mM -KG,50 mM HEPES (pH 7.0), 5 mM DTT, 0.5 mM FeSO4, and 10 mM histidine.The amount of ethylene produced in this system was equivalentto 40 to 50% of that produced by the living cells.

Abstract The influence of cysteine and serine in the production of syringomycin by Pseudomonas syringae pv. syringae has been studied. Both amino acids increased toxin synthesis in wild-type strains, although cysteine has a higher stimulatory effect than serine. To corroborate the role of cysteine in the production of syringomycin, a Cys− mutant of P. syringae pv. syringae was isolated by transpositional mutagenesis with Tn5; this Cys− mutant did not produce syringomycin. Nevertheless, and after the addition of high concentrations of cysteine, the cys ∷Tn5 mutant recovered its ability to produce syringomycin. On the other hand, the addition of serine did not return the production of syringomycin to the sys ∷ Tn5 strain: all these data indicated that cysteine modulates the synthesis of syringomycin in P. syringae pv. syringae positively. 相似文献

Abstract A comparative analysis of 16S ribosomal RNA sequences of all Peptostreptococcus species revealed that most members of the genus Peptostreptococcus should be divided into many different genera. The relationship between clostridia and peptostreptococci was analysed to find the phylogenetic position of peptostreptococci. 相似文献

The gene encoding alginate lyase (algL) in Pseudomonas syringae pv. syringae was cloned, sequenced, and overexpressed in Escherichia coli. Alginate lyase activity was optimal when the pH was 7.0 and when assays were conducted at 42 degrees C in the presence of 0.2 M NaCl. In substrate specificity studies, AlgL from P. syringae showed a preference for deacetylated polymannuronic acid. Sequence alignment with other alginate lyases revealed conserved regions within AlgL likely to be important for the structure and/or function of the enzyme. Site-directed mutagenesis of histidine and tryptophan residues at positions 204 and 207, respectively, indicated that these amino acids are critical for lyase activity. 相似文献

Pseudomonas syringae pv. syringae B301D produces a yellow-green, fluorescent siderophore, pyoverdinpss, in large quantities under iron-limited growth conditions. Maximum yields of pyoverdinpss of approximately 50 μg/ml occurred after 24 h of incubation in a deferrated synthetic medium. Increasing increments of Fe(III) coordinately repressed siderophore production until repression was complete at concentrations of ≥ 10 μM. Pyoverdinpss was isolated, chemically characterized, and found to resemble previously characterized pyoverdins in spectral traits (absorbance maxima of 365 and 410 nm for pyoverdinpss and its ferric chelate, respectively), size (1,175 molecular weight), and amino acid composition. Nevertheless, pyoverdinpss was structurally unique since amino acid analysis of reductive hydrolysates yielded β-hydroxyaspartic acid, serine, threonine, and lysine in a 2:2:2:1 ratio. Pyoverdinpss exhibited a relatively high affinity constant for Fe(III), with values of 1025 at pH 7.0 and 1032 at pH 10.0. Iron uptake assays with [55Fe]pyoverdinpss demonstrated rapid active uptake of 55Fe(III) by P. syringae pv. syringae B301D, while no uptake was observed for a mutant strain unable to acquire Fe(III) from ferric pyoverdinpss. The chemical and biological properties of pyoverdinpss are discussed in relation to virulence and iron uptake during plant pathogenesis. 相似文献

Two strains (B728a and Y37) of the phytopathogenic bacterium Pseudomonas syringae pv. syringae isolated from bean (Phaseolus vulgaris) plants were shown to produce in culture both syringomycin, a lipodepsinonapeptide secreted by the majority of the strains of the bacterium, and a new form of syringopeptin, SP(22)Phv. The structure of the latter metabolite was elucidated by the combined use of mass spectrometry (MS), nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy and chemical procedures. Comparative phytotoxic and antimicrobial assays showed that SP(22)Phv did not differ substantially from the previously characterized syringopeptin 22 (SP(22)) as far as toxicity to plants was concerned, but was less active in inhibiting the growth of the test fungi Rhodotorula pilimanae and Geotrichum candidum and of the Gram-positive bacterium Bacillus megaterium. 相似文献

Inhibition of DNA synthesis in Escherichia coli mutants in which the SOS-dependent division inhibitors SfiA and SfiC were unable to operate led to a partial arrest of cell division. This SOS-independent mechanism coupling DNA replication and cell division was characterized with respect to residual division, particle number, and DNA content. Whether DNA replication was blocked in the initiation or the elongation step, numerous normal-sized anucleate cells were produced (not minicells or filaments). Their production was used to evaluate the efficiency of this coupling mechanism, which seems to involve the cell division protein FtsZ (SulB), also known to be the target of the division inhibitors SfiA and SfiC. In the absence of DNA synthesis, the efficiency of coupling was modulated by the cyclic-AMP-cyclic-AMP receptor protein complex, which was required for anucleate cell production. 相似文献
