Analysis of the expression of the Rhodobacter sphaeroides lexA gene

The regulation of the Rhodobacter sphaeroides lexA gene has been analyzed using both gel-mobility experiments and lacZ gene fusions. PCR-mediated mutagenesis demonstrated that the second GAAC motif in the sequence GAACN₇GAACN₇GAAC located upstream of the R. sphaeroides lexA gene is absolutely necessary for its DNA damage-mediated induction. Moreover, mutagenesis of either the first or the third GAAC motif in this sequence reduced, but did not abolish, the inducibility of the R. sphaeroides lexA gene. A R. sphaeroides lexA-defective (Def) mutant has also been constructed by replacing the active lexA gene with an inactivated gene copy constructed in vitro. Crude extracts of the R. sphaeroides lexA(Def) strain are unable to form any protein-DNA complex when added to the wild-type lexA promoter of R. sphaeroides. Likewise, the R. sphaeroides lexA(Def) cells constitutively express the recA and lexA genes. All these data clearly indicate that the lexA gene product is the negative regulator of the R. sphaeroides SOS response. Furthermore, the morphology, growth and viability of R. sphaeroides lexA(Def) cultures do not show any significant change relative to those of the wild-type strain. Hence, R. sphaeroides is so far the only bacterial species whose viability is known not to be affected by the presence of a lexA(Def) mutation.

Non-reciprocal regulation of Rhodobacter capsulatus and Rhodobacter sphaeroides recA genes expression

Abstract The Rhodobacter capsulatus recA gene has been isolated and sequenced. Its deduced amino acid sequence showed the closest identity with the Rhodobacter sphaeroides RecA protein (91% identity). However, the promoter regions of both R. capsulatus and R. sphaeroides recA genes are only 64% similar. An Escherichia coli -like LexA binding site was not present in the upstream region of the R. capsulatus recA gene. Nevertheless, the R. capsulatus recA gene is inducible by DNA damage in both hetero- and phototrophically growing conditions. The R. capsulatus recA gene is poorly induced when inserted into the chromosome of R. sphaeroides , indicating that the recA gene of both bacteria possess different control sequences despite their phylogenetically close relationship.     

Isolation of the replication region of an indigenous plasmid of Rhodobacter sphaeroides

Abstract The isolation of the replication region of an indigenous plasmid of 42 kb of the phototrophic bacterium Rhodobacter sphaeroides is described. This plasmid was digested with the Bgl II restriction enzyme, ligated to the 2.7 Bgl II fragment of transposon Tn 10 , which contains the tet genes conferring tetracycline resistance, and the mixture was transformed into the Escherichia coli MC1061 strain. One of several chimeric plasmids harboring the replication region of the 42-kb plasmid obtained by this process was named pUA33 and further characterized. Plasmid pUA33 is approx. 8.3 kb. A partial restriction map has been constructed. Plasmid pUA33 is stable in E. coli cells growing under non-selective conditions and is non-self-transmissible. All these data suggest that the pUA33 plasmid may be a very useful tool for gene cloning in R. spheroides .     

浑球红假单胞菌及其谷氨酸合成酶突变株氢酶活性和合成

浑球红假单胞菌野生型菌株的氢酶表达被有机碳、氮底物所抑制。在光照和黑暗时,氧浓度变化对氢酶的作用不同,但高氧浓度都阻遏氢酶的表达。微量Ni~(2+)能专一性地促进氢酶活性,固氮酶的产氢也可以调节氢酶的表达水平。该野生菌株的GOGAT突变株缺乏固氮酶和氢酶活性,在加入谷氨酰胺合成酶抑制剂MSX后,固氮酶和氢酶以相关联的方式合成出来,固氮酶产生的氢看来诱导了氢酶的合成。然而在固氮酶不表达的情况下,外源氢也可诱导氢酶的合成。     

与人体ε-珠蛋白基因5''''旁侧正调控元件(ε-PREI)专一结合的调控因子的初步研究

人体ε－珠蛋白基因５′旁侧ＤＮＡ序列对该基因时空表达与调控起着十分重要的作用。本文运用凝胶电泳阻抑法,ＤＮａｓｅＩ足印法和Ｓｏｕｔｈｗｅｓｔｅｒｎｂｌｏｔ分析法发现在胚胎型红白血病细胞株Ｋ５６２细胞中有一个特异的核蛋白因子（简称ε－ＳＳＰ,其分子量大约为８０ｋＤ）,它能专一地与人体ε－珠蛋白基因５′旁侧一个红细胞专一和发育时期特异的正调控元件（ε－ＰＲＥＩＩ,－４４６ｂｐ到－４１９ｂｐ）相结合。竞争实验表明该因子与ε－ＰＲＥＩＩ的结合能被人体ε－珠蛋白基因启动子区ＤＮＡ片段（－１７７ｂｐ到＋１ｂｐ）所竞争;同时也能被人体β－类珠蛋白基因远侧端调控元件ＬＣＲ中的ＤＮａｓｅＩ超敏感点Ｉ核心区ＤＮＡ片段（－１０９６５ｂｐ到－１０６８１ｂｐ）与超敏感点ＩＩ核心区ＤＮＡ片段（－１４９９３ｂｐ到－１４７１８ｂｐ）所竞争。我们的结果提示了ε－ＳＳＰ不仅是一个与红细胞专一性和发育时期特异性相关的反式调控因子,而且它可能介导远侧端调控元件（ＬＣＲ）与近侧端调控元件启动子之间的相互作用,共同调节ε－珠蛋白基因在胚胎期的表达。

Identification and characterization of a GroEL homologue in Rhodobacter sphaeroides

A protein closely related to the Escherichia coli GroEL protein has been isolated from Rhodobacter sphaeroides. Native and SDS-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis of this protein have shown that it is present in the cell as a multimeric complex of Mr 670,000 which is composed of a monomer of Mr 58,000. Antisera raised against the Mr 58,000 polypeptide have been shown to cross-react with GroEL and the alpha subunit of the pea plastid chaperonin. The N-terminal amino acid sequence of the Mr 58,000 polypeptide is identical to that of GroEL at 15 of 19 residues and is also closely related to the alpha subunit of the pea plastid chaperonin, though less so to the beta subunit.     

光合细菌Rhodobacter sphaeroides glnBlacZ 融合子的构建与表达

亚克隆了Ｒｈｏｄｏｂａｃｔｅｒ ｓｐｈａｅｒｏｉｄｅｓ ｇｌｎＢ启动子,以ｐＭＰ２２０ 为载体构建成ｇｌｎＢｌａｃＺ融合子。将ｇｌｎＢｌａｃＺ、ｎｉｆＨｌａｃＺ、ｎｉｆＡｌａｃＺ分别导入Ｒ． ｓｐｈａｅｒｏｉｄｅｓ 谷氨酸合酶突变株ｇｌｔＢ－ 、ｇｌｔＤ－ 和野生型菌株中,分析了突变对固氮基因转录表达的影响。试验证明,在ｇｌｔＢＤ 突变株中ｎｉｆＨ 的表达受阻遏,ｎｉｆＡ 表达水平很低。这证明ｇｌｔ 基因的突变引起固氮酶结构基因和固氮正调节基因的转录被阻遏,而ｇｌｎＢ 基因的表达几乎不受影响。试验还测定了环境中结合态氮和有机酸等信号分子对ｇｌｎＢ 和ｎｉｆＨ 表达的影响,发现加入氨或谷氨酰胺后,ｎｉｆＨ 的表达受到明显的阻遏作用,ｇｌｎＢｌａｃＺ的β半乳糖苷酶活性虽下降３０ ％ 左右但不随结合态氮浓度升高而变化,仍维持在一个较高的水平。α酮戊二酸和丙酮酸对ｎｉｆＨ 的表达有部分去阻遏作用而对ｇｌｎＢ的表达无诱导作用
