Mycoplasma are wall-less bacteria with small genomes, which are thought to have resulted from massive genome reductive processes, during which the ori-ter balance may be disrupted. For technical difficulties, ori and ter have been located only in a few Mycoplasma strains. Using the Z curve method, we were able to locate turning points on the Mycoplasma genomes, with the minimum and maximum points co-locating with ori or ter in the reference genomes. Assuming Z curve correctly located ori and ter, we calculated the distances from ori to ter in both directions on the circular genome and calculated the ori-ter balance status. The Mycoplasma genomes were not balanced, possibly as a result of close association of Mycoplasma with hosts, where there would be no other microbes for Mycoplasma to compete with for nutrients, so fastest possible growth related to balanced genomes might not be needed by Mycoplasma, leading to a relaxing ori-ter balance. 相似文献

Mycoplasma iowae is associated mainly with reduced hatchability in turkeys and is well known for the unusual ability of phenotypic variation in the Mycoplasma surface components as well as a relative resistance to heat, bile salts, and many antimicrobials. A subset of unique genes and a gene cluster responsible for these characteristics could be identified from the genome. Here, we report the first genome sequence of this species. 相似文献

Simple sequence repeats (SSRs) composed of extensive tandem iterations of a single nucleotide or a short oligonucleotide are rare in most bacterial genomes, but they are common among Mycoplasma. Some of these repeats act as contingency loci in association with families of surface antigens. By contraction or expansion during replication, these SSRs increase genetic variance of the population and facilitate avoidance of the immune response of the host. Occurrence and distribution of SSRs are analyzed in complete genomes of 11 Mycoplasma and 3 related Mollicutes in order to gain insights into functional and evolutionary diversity of the SSRs in Mycoplasma. The results revealed an unexpected variety of SSRs with respect to their distribution and composition and suggest that it is unlikely that all SSRs function as contingency loci or recombination hot spots. Various types of SSRs are most abundant in Mycoplasma hyopneumoniae, whereas Mycoplasma penetrans, Mycoplasma mobile, and Mycoplasma synoviae do not contain unusually long SSRs. Mycoplasma hyopneumoniae and Mycoplasma pulmonis feature abundant short adenine and thymine runs periodically spaced at 11 and 12 bp, respectively, which likely affect the supercoiling propensities of the DNA molecule. Physiological roles of long adenine and thymine runs in M. hyopneumoniae appear independent of location upstream or downstream of genes, unlike contingency loci that are typically located in protein-coding regions or upstream regulatory regions. Comparisons among 3 M. hyopneumoniae strains suggest that the adenine and thymine runs are rarely involved in genome rearrangements. The results indicate that the SSRs in the Mycoplasma genomes play diverse roles, including modulating gene expression as contingency loci, facilitating genome rearrangements via recombination, affecting protein structure and possibly protein-protein interactions, and contributing to the organization of the DNA molecule in the cell. 相似文献

A physical and genetic map of the Spiroplasma citri genome has been constructed using several restriction enzymes and pulsed field gel electrophoresis. A number of genes were subsequently localized on the map by the use of appropriate probes. The genome size of the spiroplasma estimated from restriction fragments is close to 1780 kbp, the largest of all Mollicutes studied so far. It contains multisite insertions of Spiroplasma virus 1 (SpV1) sequences. The physical and genetic map of the S. citri genome shares several features with that of other Mollicutes, especially those in the Mycoplasma mycoides cluster. This supports the finding that S. citri and these Mycoplasma spp. are phylogenetically related. 相似文献

Mycoplasma virus P1 is one of only four viruses isolated from the genus Mycoplasma. The host for P1, Mycoplasma pulmonis, possesses complex, phase-variable restriction and modification enzymes and the Vsa family of phase-variable surface proteins. The ability of P1 virus to infect host cells is influenced by these phase-variable systems, rendering P1 a valuable tool for assessing host properties. The double-stranded P1 DNA genome was sequenced (11,660 bp) and 11 ORFs were identified. The predicted P1 DNA polymerase is similar to that of phages that are known to have terminal protein (TP) attached to the 5' end of their genome, consistent with previous studies indicating that P1 DNA has covalently attached TP. Most of the other predicted P1 proteins have little sequence similarity to known proteins, and P1 virus is unrelated to the other mycoplasma virus, MAV1, for which the genome sequence is known. One of the predicted P1 proteins, the ORF 8 gene product, contains a repetitive collagen-like motif characteristic of some bacteriophage tail fiber proteins and is a candidate for interacting with the Vsa proteins. 相似文献

The genome size of a mycoplasmalike organism was determined by comparing fluorescence intensities of restriction fragments. Its genome size was similar to that of Mycoplasma gallisepticum and much smaller than that of Acholeplasma laidlawii. Although the genome size is "mycoplasmalike," other molecular data indicate a closer evolutionary relationship to A. laidlawii. 相似文献

To sequence the entire 800 kilobase pair genome of the bacterium Mycoplasma pneumoniae, a plasmid library was established with contained the majority of the EcoR1 fragments from M.pneumoniae. The EcoR1 fragments were subcloned from an ordered cosmid library comprising the complete M.pneumoniae genome. Individual plasmid clones were sequenced in an ordered fashion mainly by primer walking. We report here the initial results from the sequence analysis of -56 kb comprising the dnaA region as a potential origin of replication, the ATPase operon and a region coding for a cluster of ribosomal protein genes. The data were compared with the corresponding genes/operons from Bacillus subtilis, Escherichia coli, Mycoplasma capricolum and Mycoplasma gallisepticum. 相似文献

Some bacterial genomes are known to have low CpG dinucleotide frequencies. While their causes are not clearly understood, the frequency of CpG is suppressed significantly in the genome of Mycoplasma genitalium, but not in that of Mycoplasma pneumoniae. We compared orthologous gene pairs of the two closely related species to analyze CpG substitution patterns between these two genomes. We also divided genome sequences into three regions: protein-coding, noncoding, and RNA-coding, and obtained the CpG frequencies for each region for each organism. It was found that the observed/expected ratio of CpG dinucleotides is low in both the protein-coding and noncoding regions; while that ratio is in the normal range in the RNA-coding region. Our results indicate that CpG suppression of the Mycoplasma genome is not caused by (1) biased usage amino acid; (2) biased usage of synonymous codon; or (3) methylation effects by the CpG methyltransferase in the genomes of their hosts. Instead, we consider it likely that a certain global pressure, such as genome-wide pressure for the advantages of DNA stability or replication, has the effect of decreasing CpG over the entire genome, which, in turn, resulted in the biased codon usage. 相似文献

Complete archaeal genomes were probed for the presence of long (> or = 25 bp) oligonucleotide repeats (words). We detected the presence of many words distributed in tandem with narrow ranges of periodicity (i.e., spacer length between repeats). Similar words were not identified in genomes of non-archaeal species, namely Escherichia coli, Bacillus subtilis, Haemophilus influenzae, Mycoplasma genitalium and Mycoplasma pneumoniae. BLAST similarity searches against the GenBank nucleotide sequence database revealed that these words were archaeal species-specific, indicating that they are of a signature character. Sequence analysis and genome viewing tools showed these repeats to be restricted to non-coding regions. Thus, archaea appear to possess a non-coding genomic signature that is absent in bacterial species. The identification of a species-specific genomic signature would be of great value to archaeal genome mapping, evolutionary studies and analyses of genome complexity. 相似文献

Exhaustive identification of open reading frames in complete genome sequences is a difficult task. It is possible that important genes are missed. In our efforts to reanalyze the intergenic regions of Mycoplasma genitalium and Mycoplasma pneumoniae, we have newly identified a number of new open reading frames (ORFs) in both M. genitalium and M. pneumoniae. The most significant identification was that of a ribonuclease H enzyme in both species which until now has not been identified or assumed absent and interpreted as such. In this paper we discuss the biological importance of RNase H and its evolutionary implication. We also stress the usefulness of our method for identifying new ORFs by reanalyzing intergenic regions of existing ORFs in complete genome sequences. 相似文献

DNA from Mycoplasma, Ureaplasma, Acholeplasma, and Spiroplasma species digested by restriction endonucleases was hybridized with probes consisting of portions of the rrnB rRNA operon of Escherichia coli and the rRNA operon of Mycoplasma capricolum. The results indicate the presence of only one or two sets of rRNA genes in the genome of Mollicutes linked in the procaryotic fashion, 16S-23S-5S. 相似文献

Infection by Mycoplasma bovis (M. bovis) can induce diseases, such as pneumonia and otitis media in young calves and mastitis and arthritis in older animals. Here, we report the finished and annotated genome sequence of M. bovis strain Hubei-1, a strain isolated in 2008 that caused calf pneumonia on a Chinese farm. The genome of M. bovis strain Hubei-1 contains a single circular chromosome of 953,114 bp with a 29.37% GC content. We identified 803 open reading frames (ORFs) that occupy 89.5% of the genome. While 34 ORFs were Hubei-1 specific, 662 ORFs had orthologs in the M. bovis type strain PG45 genome. Genome analysis validated lateral gene transfer between M. bovis and the Mycoplasma mycoides subspecies mycoides, while phylogenetic analysis found that the closest M. bovis neighbor is Mycoplasma agalactiae. Glycerol may be the main carbon and energy source of M. bovis, and most of the biosynthesis pathways were incomplete. We report that 47 lipoproteins, 12 extracellular proteins and 18 transmembrane proteins are phase-variable and may help M. bovis escape the immune response. Besides lipoproteins and phase-variable proteins, genomic analysis found two possible pathogenicity islands, which consist of four genes and 11 genes each, and several other virulence factors including hemolysin, lipoate protein ligase, dihydrolipoamide dehydrogenase, extracellular cysteine protease and 5'-nucleotidase. 相似文献

A physical map of the Mycoplasma genitalium genome 总被引:17,自引:1,他引:16
We report the construction of a physical map of the genome of the human pathogen Mycoplasma genitalium through the use of pulse-field gel electrophoresis. The small size and relative simplicity of this genome permit the arrangement of restriction fragments without having to construct linking clones. The size of the genome has been calculated to be approximately 600 kb and several important genetic determinants have been assigned specific loci on the map. 相似文献
