Unlike the parent wild-type strain, theKlebsiella pneumoniae mutant strain MAO4 has a 4-HBA+ phenotype. The capacity of this mutant to take up and metabolize 4-hydroxybenzoate (4-HBA) relies on the expression of a
permease and an NADPH-linked monooxygenase (4-HBA-3-hydroxylase). Both enzymes are normally expressed at basal levels, and
only the presence of 4-HBA in the media enhances their activities. Strikingly, when theAcinetobacter calcoaceticus pobA gene encoding 4-hydroxybenzoate-3-hydroxylase was expressed in hydroxybenzoateK. pneumoniae wild-type, the bacteria were unable to grow on 4-HBA, suggesting that the main difference between the wild-type and the mutant
strain is the capability of the latter to take up 4-HBA. 4-HBA-3-hydroxylase was purified to homogeneity by affinity, gel-filtration,
and anion-exchange chromatography. The native enzyme, which appeared to be a dimer of identical subunits, had an apparent
molecular mass of 80 kDa and a pI of 4.6. Steady-state kinetics were analyzed; the initial velocity patterns were consistent
with a concerted substitution mechanism. The purified enzyme had 362 amino acid residues, and a tyrosine seemed to be involved
in substrate activation. 相似文献

Xanthomonas campestris pv. campestris (Xcc), the causal agent of black rot in crucifers, produces a membrane-bound yellow pigment called xanthomonadin to protect against photobiological and peroxidative damage, and uses a quorum-sensing mechanism mediated by the diffusible signal factor (DSF) family signals to regulate virulence factors production. The Xcc gene XCC4003, annotated as Xcc fabG3, is located in the pig cluster, which may be responsible for xanthomonadin synthesis. We report that fabG3 expression restored the growth of the Escherichia coli fabG temperature-sensitive mutant CL104 under non-permissive conditions. In vitro assays demonstrated that FabG3 catalyses the reduction of 3-oxoacyl-acyl carrier protein (ACP) intermediates in fatty acid synthetic reactions, although FabG3 had a lower activity than FabG1. Moreover, the fabG3 deletion did not affect growth or fatty acid composition. These results indicate that Xcc fabG3 encodes a 3-oxoacyl-ACP reductase, but is not essential for growth or fatty acid synthesis. However, the Xcc fabG3 knock-out mutant abolished xanthomonadin production, which could be only restored by wild-type fabG3, but not by other 3-oxoacyl-ACP reductase-encoding genes, indicating that Xcc FabG3 is specifically involved in xanthomonadin biosynthesis. Additionally, our study also shows that the Xcc fabG3-disrupted mutant affects Xcc virulence in host plants. 相似文献

Genetic Engineering of a Highly Solvent-Tolerant Pseudomonas putida Strain for Biotransformation of Toluene to p-Hydroxybenzoate 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1 下载免费PDF全文

The solvent-tolerant strain Pseudomonas putida DOT-T1E has been engineered for biotransformation of toluene into 4-hydroxybenzoate (4-HBA). P. putida DOT-T1E transforms toluene into 3-methylcatechol in a reaction catalyzed by toluene dioxygenase. The todC1C2 genes encode the α and β subunits of the multicomponent enzyme toluene dioxygenase, which catalyzes the first step in the Tod pathway of toluene catabolism. A DOT-T1EΔtodC mutant strain was constructed by homologous recombination and was shown to be unable to use toluene as a sole carbon source. The P. putida pobA gene, whose product is responsible for the hydroxylation of 4-HBA into 3,4-hydroxybenzoate, was cloned by complementation of a Pseudomonas mendocina pobA1 pobA2 double mutant. This pobA gene was knocked out in vitro and used to generate a double mutant, DOT-T1EΔtodCpobA, that was unable to use either toluene or 4-HBA as a carbon source. The tmo and pcu genes from P. mendocina KR1, which catalyze the transformation of toluene into 4-HBA through a combination of the toluene 4-monoxygenase pathway and oxidation of p-cresol into the hydroxylated carboxylic acid, were subcloned in mini-Tn5Tc and stably recruited in the chromosome of DOT-T1EΔtodCpobA. Expression of the tmo and pcu genes took place in a DOT-T1E background due to cross-activation of the tmo promoter by the two-component signal transduction system TodST. Several independent isolates that accumulated 4-HBA in the supernatant from toluene were analyzed. Differences were observed in these clones in the time required for detection of 4-HBA and in the amount of this compound accumulated in the supernatant. The fastest and most noticeable accumulation of 4-HBA (12 mM) was found with a clone designated DOT-T1E-24. 相似文献

Fully sequenced genomes of Xanthomonas campestris pv. campestris (Xcc) strains are reported. However, intra‐pathovar differences are still intriguing and far from clear. In this work, the contrasting virulence between two isolates of Xcc ‐ Xcc51 (more virulent) and XccY21 (less virulent) is evaluated by determining their pan proteome profiles. The bacteria are grown in NYG and XVM1 (optimal for induction of hrp regulon) broths and collected at the max‐exponential growth phase. Shotgun proteomics reveals a total of 329 proteins when Xcc isolates are grown in XVM1. A comparison of both profiles reveals 47 proteins with significant abundance fluctuations, out of which, 39 show an increased abundance in Xcc51 and are mainly involved in virulence/adaptation mechanisms, genetic information processing, and membrane receptor/iron transport systems, such as BfeA, BtuB, Cap, Clp, Dcp, FyuA, GroEs, HpaG, Tig, and OmpP6. Several differential proteins are further analyzed by qRT‐PCR, which reveals a similar expression pattern to the protein abundance. The data shed light on the complex Xcc pathogenicity mechanisms and point out a set of proteins related to the higher virulence of Xcc51. This information is essential for the development of more efficient strategies aiming at the control of black rot disease. 相似文献

The diffusible factor synthase XanB2, originally identified in Xanthomonas campestris pv. campestris (Xcc), is highly conserved across a wide range of bacterial species, but its substrate and catalytic mechanism have not yet been investigated. Here, we show that XanB2 is a unique bifunctional chorismatase that hydrolyses chorismate, the end‐product of the shikimate pathway, to produce 3‐hydroxybenzoic acid (3‐HBA) and 4‐HBA. 3‐HBA and 4‐HBA are respectively associated with the yellow pigment xanthomonadin biosynthesis and antioxidant activity in Xcc. We further demonstrate that XanB2 is a structurally novel enzyme with three putative domains. It catalyses 3‐HBA and 4‐HBA biosynthesis via a unique mechanism with the C‐terminal YjgF‐like domain conferring activity for 3‐HBA biosynthesis and the N‐terminal FGFG motif‐containing domain responsible for 4‐HBA biosynthesis. Furthermore, we show that Xcc produces coenzyme Q8 (CoQ8) via a new biosynthetic pathway independent of the key chorismate‐pyruvate lyase UbiC. XanB2 is the alternative source of 4‐HBA for CoQ8 biosynthesis. The similar CoQ8 biosynthetic pathway, xanthomonadin biosynthetic gene cluster and XanB2 homologues are well conserved in the bacterial species within Xanthomonas, Xylella, Xylophilus, Pseudoxanthomonas, Rhodanobacter, Frateuria, Herminiimonas and Variovorax, suggesting that XanB2 may be a conserved metabolic link between the shikimate pathway, ubiquinone and xanthomonadin biosynthetic pathways in diverse bacteria. 相似文献

Black rot, caused by Xanthomonas campestris pv. campestris (Pammel) Dowson (Xcc), is one of the most damaging diseases of cauliflower and other crucifers. In order to investigate the molecular resistance
mechanisms and to find the genes related to black rot resistance in cauliflower, a suppression subtractive hybridization (SSH)
cDNA library was constructed using resistant line C712 and its susceptible near-isogenic line C731 as tester and driver, respectively.
A total of 280 clones were obtained from the library by reverse northern blotting. Sequencing analysis and homology searching
showed that these clones represent 202 unique sequences. The library included many defense/disease-resistant related genes,
such as plant defensin gene PDF1.2, lipid transfer protein, thioredoxin h. Gene expression profiles of 12 genes corresponding
to different functional categories were monitored by real-time RT-PCR. The results showed that the expression induction of
these genes in the susceptible line C712 in response to Xcc was quicker and more intense, while in C731 the reaction was delayed and limited. Our results imply that these up-regulated
genes might be involved in cauliflower responses against Xcc infection. Information obtained from this study could be used to understand the molecular mechanisms of disease response
in cauliflower under Xcc stress. 相似文献

Xanthomonas is one of the most widespread phytobacteria, causing diseases on a variety of agricultural plants. To develop novel control techniques, knowledge of bacterial behavior inside plant cells is essential. Xanthomonas campestris pv. campestris, a vascular pathogen, is the causal agent of black rot on leaves of Brassicaceae, including Arabidopsis thaliana. Among the X. campestris pv. campestris stocks in the MAFF collection, we selected XccMAFF106712 as a model compatible pathogen for the A. thaliana reference ecotype Columbia (Col-0). Using modified green fluorescent protein (AcGFP) as a reporter, we observed real time XccMAFF106712 colonization in planta with confocal microscopy. AcGFP-expressing bacteria colonized the inside of epidermal cells and the apoplast, as well as the xylem vessels of the vasculature. In the case of the type III mutant, bacteria colonization was never detected in the xylem vessel or apoplast, though they freely enter the xylem vessel through the wound. After 9 days post inoculation with XccMAFF106712, the xylem vessel became filled with bacterial aggregates. This suggests that Xcc colonization can be divided into main four steps, (1) movement in the xylem vessel, (2) movement to the next cell, (3) adhesion to the host plant cells, and (4) formation of bacterial aggregates. The type III mutant abolished at least steps (1) and (2). Better understanding of Xcc colonization is essential for development of novel control techniques for black rot. 相似文献

Black rot, caused by Xanthomonas campestris pv. campestris (Xcc), is the most devastating disease of brassica, but the mechanisms of basal or induced resistance in cabbage remain largely unknown. Here, we performed three experiments to investigate biochemical features associated with cabbage resistance to black rot. In the first experiment, biochemical changes were assessed in plants that were inoculated with a highly (UFPR 5) or a moderately (Xcc 10) aggressive Xcc isolate. In the second experiment, we examined the biochemical responses in two cultivars (Chato de Quintal [CQ] and Louco de Verão [LV], susceptible and moderately resistant to Xcc, respectively). Finally, we examined whether acibenzolar‐S‐methyl (ASM) could induce cabbage resistance to Xcc. Plants inoculated with the Xcc 10 isolate displayed higher activities of superoxide dismutase (SOD), peroxidase (POX) and ascorbate peroxidase (APX), whereas activities of chitinase (CHI), β‐1,3‐glucanase (GLU) and polyphenol oxidase (PPO) as well as the concentrations of hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) and malondialdehyde (MDA) were lower compared to plants inoculated with the UFPR 5 isolate. The resistance of the cultivar LV to Xcc was linked to increases in the activities of CHI, GLU, and PPO and decreases in the activities of SOD, POX and APX as well as in the concentrations of H2O2 and MDA relative to the cultivar CQ. In general, ASM‐sprayed plants displayed higher activities for the enzymes studied, which was associated with decreased disease symptoms and oxidative stress. Taken together, our results demonstrated that high activities of both defence and antioxidant enzymes played a major role in both basal and induced resistance of cabbage to black rot. 相似文献

Multiple-Level Regulation of Genes for Protocatechuate Degradation in Acinetobacter baylyi Includes Cross-Regulation 下载免费PDF全文
Simone Yasmin Siehler Süreyya Dal Rita Fischer Patricia Patz Ulrike Gerischer 《Applied microbiology》2007,73(1):232-242
The bacterium Acinetobacter baylyi uses the branched β-ketoadipate pathway to metabolize aromatic compounds. Here, the multiple-level regulation of expression of the pca-qui operon encoding the enzymes for protocatechuate and quinate degradation was studied. It is shown that both activities of the IclR-type regulator protein PcaU at the structural gene promoter pcaIp, namely protocatechuate-dependent activation of pca-qui operon expression as well as repression in the absence of protocatechuate, can be observed in a different cellular background (Escherichia coli) and therefore are intrinsic to PcaU. The regulation of PcaU expression is demonstrated to be carbon source dependent according to the same pattern as the pca-qui operon. The increase of the pcaU gene copy number leads to a decrease of the basal expression at pcaIp, indicating that the occupancy of the PcaU binding site is well balanced and depends on the concentration of PcaU in the cell. Luciferase is used as a reporter to demonstrate strong repression of pcaIp when benzoate, a substrate of the catechol branch of the pathway, is present in addition to substrates of the protocatechuate branch (cross-regulation). The same repression pattern was observed for promoter pcaUp. Thus, three promoters involved in gene expression of enzymes of the protocatechuate branch (pobAp upstream of pobA, pcaIp, and pcaUp) are strongly repressed in the presence of benzoate. The negative effect of protocatechuate on pobA expression is not based on a direct sensing of the metabolite by PobR, the specific regulator of pobA expression. 相似文献
