Genes involved in the production of phaseolotoxin by Pseudomonas syringae pv. "phaseolicola" NPS3121 were identified by Tn5 mutagenesis and cosmid cloning. A total of 5,180 kanamycin-resistant colonies were screened for the loss of phaseolotoxin production by a microbiological assay. Six independent, prototrophic, Tox- mutants were isolated that had Tn5 insertions in five different EcoRI fragments. All six mutants had Tn5 inserted in the same KpnI fragment, which had a length of ca. 28 kilobases including Tn5. The mutants produced residual toxin in vitro. An EcoRI fragment containing Tn5 and flanking sequences from mutant NPS4336 was cloned and used to probe a wild-type genomic library by colony hybridization. Seven recombinant plasmids showing homology to this probe were identified. Each Tox- mutant was restored in OCTase-specific toxin production by two or more of the recombinant plasmids. The data suggest that at least some of the genes involved in phaseolotoxin production were clustered in a large KpnI fragment. No homology was detected between the Tn5 target fragment cloned from mutant NPS4336 and the total genomic DNA from closely or distantly related bacteria that do not produce phaseolotoxin. 相似文献

Two different DNA fragments encoding ornithine carbamoyltransferase (OCTase) were cloned from Pseudomonas syringae pv. phaseolicola NPS3121. These fragments did not cross-hybridize and encoded OCTases which differed with respect to their sensitivity to purified phaseolotoxin, an OCTase inhibitor produced by this phytopathogenic bacterium. Recombinant plasmids carrying these DNA fragments complemented OCTase-deficient strains of Escherichia coli and Pseudomonas aeruginosa. Extracts of the complemented E. coli strain contained OCTase enzyme activities with similar degrees of sensitivity to purified phaseolotoxin as extracts of P.s.phaseolicola grown at either 20 or 30°C. The OCTase activity detectable in extracts of P.s.phaseolicola grown at 20°C is insensitive to phaseolotoxin while that detectable in extracts of cells grown at 30°C is sensitive to the toxin. E.coli HB101 harboring recombinant plasmids carrying the gene(s) encoding the phaseolotoxin-insensitive enzyme activity exhibited resistance to purified phaseolotoxin. The results of Tn5 mutagenesis and Southern blotting and the pattern of complementation of OCTase-deficient and Tox- mutant strains suggest that the gene(s) encoding the phaseolotoxin-insensitive OCTase is part of a gene cluster involved in phaseolotoxin production. 相似文献

Characterization of two ornithine carbamoyltransferases from Pseudomonas syringae pv. phaseolicola,the producer of phaseolotoxin 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2
Two ornithine carbamoyltransferases (OCT 1 and OCT 2) were isolated from Pseudomonas syringae pv. phaseolicola and purified by precipitation with ammonium sulfate, heat denaturation, chromatography on DEAE-Sephadex A-50 and Sephadex G-200. Molecular weights of both enzymes: 110,000; optimal activity: pH 8.5 to 9.5 (OCT 1), pH 8.4 (OCT 2); apparent K
m for ornithine: 7·10-4 (both enzymes); apparent K
m for carbamoylphosphate: 7·10-4 (OCT 1), 2.8·10-3 (OCT 2). Both enzymes possess only an anabolic function. OCT 1 is highly inhibited by low concentrations of phaseolotoxin and Orn-P(O)(NH2)-NH-SO3H, OCT 2 is insensitive to both compounds. The inhibition of OCT 1 is reversible.Non-common abbreviation PNSOrn

Cell-free extracts from phaseolotoxin-producing strains of Pseudomonas syringae pv. phaseolicola grown at 18 degrees C, the optimum temperature for phaseolotoxin production, contain an ornithine carbamoyltransferase activity that is insensitive to phaseolotoxin. Extracts from the same strains grown at 30 degrees C, a temperature at which little or no detectable phaseolotoxin is produced, and from phaseolotoxin-nonproducing strains contain a phaseolotoxin-sensitive ornithine carbamoyltransferase activity. The phaseolotoxin-insensitive ornithine carbamoyltransferase activity is also less senstive to N delta-(phosphonacetyl)-L-ornithine than the phaseolotoxin-sensitive ornithine carbamoyltransferase activity of the corresponding strain. 相似文献

Pseudomonas syringae pv. phaseolicola is the causal agent of the "halo blight" disease of beans. A key component in the development of the disease is a nonhost-specific toxin, Ndelta-(N'-sulphodiaminophosphinyl)-ornithyl-alanyl-homoarginine, known as phaseolotoxin. The homoarginine residue in this molecule has been suggested to be the product of L-arginine:lysine amidinotransferase activity, previously detected in extracts of P. syringae pv. phaseolicola grown under conditions of phaseolotoxin production. We report the isolation and characterization of an amidinotransferase gene (amtA) from P. syringae pv. phaseolicola coding for a polypeptide of 362 residues (41.36 kDa) and showing approximately 40% sequence similarity to L-arginine:inosamine-phosphate amidinotransferase from three species of Streptomyces spp. and 50.4% with an L-arginine:glycine amidinotransferase from human mitochondria. The cysteine, histidine, and aspartic acid residues involved in substrate binding are conserved. Furthermore, expression of the amtA and argK genes and phaseolotoxin production occurs at 18 degrees C but not at 28 degrees C. An amidinotransferase insertion mutant was obtained that lost the capacity to synthesize homoarginine and phaseolotoxin. These results show that the amtA gene isolated is responsible for the amidinotransferase activity detected previously and that phaseolotoxin production depends upon the activity of this gene. 相似文献

In the phaseolotoxin biosynthetic gene cluster of Pseudomonas syringae pv. phaseolicola 1448A, the PSPPH_4299 gene encodes a novel L-amino acid ligase. The PSPPH_4299 protein synthesized various hetero-dipeptides containing basic amino acids in an ATP-dependent manner, and also synthesized alanyl-homoarginine, part of the phaseolotoxin scaffold. 相似文献

The analysis of 46 isolates obtained directly from different and distant common bean fields from the northwestern part of Spain revealed that they do not produce phaseolotoxin. The isolates were classified as race 5, and their analysis revealed that they do not carry the argK-tox gene cluster involved in the biosynthesis of the phaseolotoxin. 相似文献

Transposon mutagenesis was used to locate the genes for phaseolotoxin biosynthesis inPseudomonas syringae pathovar.phaseolicola. Mutants unable to produce toxin were obtained that carried Tn5 on different chromosomal restriction fragments. None of the Tn5-induced nontoxigenic mutants carried the transposon in plasmid DNA. The insertion of Tn5 intotox DNA was confirmed by site-directed mutagenesis. The results reported here suggest the involvement of at least five chromosomal genes in phaseolotoxin biosynthesis. All of the toxinminus mutants retained both full pathogenicity on beans and resistance to the toxin. 相似文献

Multiple copies of a DNA sequence from Pseudomonas syringae pathovar phaseolicola abolish thermoregulation of phaseolotoxin production 总被引:3,自引:0,他引:3

Phaseolotoxin, a phytotoxin of Pseudomonas syringae pv. phaseolicola, is produced at 18°C but not at 28°C. Here we report that a fragment (24.4 kb) cloned from the wild-type strain, which does not harbour a gene(s) involved in phaseolotoxin biosynthesis, abolishes this thermoregulation in the wild type and suppresses a Tox? mutant at both temperatures. A subclone harbouring a 465bp fragment contains motifs that are characteristic of DNA-binding sites. In mobility shift assays we have detected a protein(s) from the wild-type and the mutant strains, grown at appropriate temperatures, that specifically binds to the fragment containing the DNA-binding motifs. We propose that the binding protein is a repressor which is ‘titrated’ by this fragment when it is present in the cell on a multiple copy plasmid, thus allowing expression of phaseolotoxin genes. 相似文献

Abstract Saccharomyces cerevisiae genes encoding functions necessary for inhibition by the Pseudomonas syringae pv. syringae cyclic lipodepsipeptide, syringomycin-E, were identified by mutant analyses. Syringomycin-E-resistant mutants were isolated, shown to contain single recessive mutations, and divided into eight gene complementation groups. Representative strains from five groups were resistant to nystatin, and deficient in the plasma membrane lipid, ergosterol. All of the mutant strains were resistant to the related cyclic lipodepsipeptides, syringotoxin and syringostatin. The findings show that: 1) at least eight gene-encoded functions participate in the inhibitory response to syringomycin; 2) ergosterol is important for this response; 3) the three related lipodepsipeptides have similar modes of action. 相似文献

The syrA and syrB genes involved in syringomycin production in Pseudomonas syringae pv. syringae B301D were identified from an EcoRI-pLAFR3 cosmid library and then physically and functionally analyzed in relation to plant pathogenicity. Homologous recombination of the genes required for syringomycin production from cosmids pGX183 (syrA) and pGX56 (syrB), respectively, introduced into nontoxigenic (Tox-) Tn5 mutants W4S2545 and W4S770 resulted in the concomitant restoration of toxin production and full virulence. The disease indices of the Tox+ strains obtained by recombination of the cloned, homologous DNA into the corresponding Tn5 mutant were essentially equivalent to that of strain B301D-R and significantly higher than those of W4S2545 and W4S770. A 12-kilobase (kb) EcoRI fragment from pGX183 was subcloned (i.e., pGX15) and found to contain the sequences necessary for syringomycin production. A map of pGX15 prepared by a combination of restriction endonuclease digestions and Tn5 mutagenesis showed that the syrA sequence was 2.3 to 2.8 kb. Marker exchange of syrA::Tn5 from pGX15 into B301D-R yielded nonpathogenic phenotypes, indicating that syrA is a regulatory gene since it is necessary for both syringomycin production and pathogenicity. The 4.9-kb EcoRI fragment from pGX56 was subcloned (i.e., pGX4) and shown to carry the syrB sequence which was 2.4 to 3.3 kb. Sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoretic analysis of protein extracts from B301D-R associated five proteins, ranging from approximately 130,000 to approximately 470,000 in molecular weight, with syringomycin production. The syrA and syrB genes were required for the formation of proteins SR4 (approximately 350,000) and SR5 (approximately 130,000), which are believed to be components of the syringomycin synthetase complex. 相似文献

In the compatible combination of the halo blight disease of bean Pseudomonas phaseolicola was able to colonize large areas of the intercellular space of leaves, such that these confluent water congested areas became visible as water-soaked spots. Most of the plant cell walls in the infected region maintained their normal shape, even when the cytoplasm had collapsed. Some inward bending of plant cell walls preceded their rather slow degradation and final replacement by bacterial masses. Neighbouring plant cells appeared to be metabolically active. In resistant leaves no indications of active bacterial attachment or encapsulation could be observed. However, bacteria appeared to be more densely packed in resistant leaves, and relatively more plant cells completely collapsed as compared with susceptible leaves. From 8—14 days after inoculation, the bacterial concentration did not change much in susceptible or resistant leaves, indicating the absence of bactericidal components. Even Pseudomonas pisi snowed some multiplication in bean leaves (immune reaction), but its growth stopped earlier than that of P. phaseolicola. in the resistant cultivars, probably due to a different mechanism of resistance. Although less bacteria were determined in the intercellular washing fluid (IF) compared with leaf homogenates, the high bacterial concentrations in the IF supported our observation that an effective encapsulation of bacteria in resistant leaves did not occur. 相似文献

Harpin HrpZ of plant-pathogenic bacterium Pseudomonas syringae elicits a hypersensitive response (HR) in some nonhost plants, but its function in the pathogenesis process is still obscure. HrpZ-interacting proteins were identified by screening a phage-display library of random peptides. HrpZ of the bean pathogen P. syringae pv. phaseolicola (HrpZPph) shows affinity to peptides with a consensus amino acid motif W(L)ARWLL(G/L). To localize the peptide-binding site, the hrpZPph gene was mutagenized with randomly placed 15-bp insertions, and the mutant proteins were screened for the peptide-binding ability. Mutations that inhibited peptide-binding localized to the central region of hrpZPph, which is separate from the previously determined HR-inducing region. Antiserum raised against one of the hrpZPph-binding peptides recognized small proteins in bean, tomato, parsley, and Arabidopsis thaliana but none in tobacco. On native protein blots, hrpZPph bound to a bean protein with similar pI as the protein recognized by the peptide antiserum. The result suggests a protein-protein interaction between the harpin and a host plant protein, possibly involved in the bacterial pathogenesis. 相似文献

Multiplication of Pseudomonas phaseolicola was determined in 17 different bean cultivars ( Phaseolus vulgaris ) and 9 other plant species, and the effect of different inoculation methods and conditions was also studied.
In susceptible leaves, a generation time of 2.1 h was determined in the early phase (2 days after inoculation). Different multiplication rates in susceptible and resistant leaves were clearly observed 4 days after inoculation. At this time the first small water-soaked spots were visible in the susceptible cultivars. Bacteria multiplied up to the 7th day after inoculation with a maximum of 109 cells per cm2 leaf (equal to ca. 4 × 1010 bacterial cells/cm3 ). At the same time, the water-soaked spots had reached their maximum size in most cases. Thus, bacterial multiplication and development of water-soaked spots paralleled each other.
In resistant leaves, no water-soaked spots appeared, and the final bacterial concentration was 1/1000–1/100 of that in susceptible leaves. Gomparison of races 1 and 2 in several bean cultivars indicated the non-existence of a gene-for-gene relationship with this disease. Old leaves were less susceptible to infection. Some bacterial multiplication was also observed in non-host plants. There was a general correlation between bacterial multiplication in the non-host plants and their botanical relation to Phaseolus vulgaris . 相似文献

Summary
Pseudomonas syringae pv. phaseolicola strain LR719 contains a 150 kilobase pair (kb) plasmid pMC7105, stably integrated into its chromosome. Occasionally, single colony isolates of this strain contain an excision plasmid. Eight unique excision plasmids were selected and characterized by BamHI restriction endonuclease and blot hybridization analyses. These plasmids ranged in size from 35 to 270 kb; the largest contained approximately 130 kb of chromosomal DNA sequences. Restriction maps of pMC7105 were developed to deduce the site of integration and to identify the fragments in which recombination occurred to produce each excision plasmid. The eight excision plasmids were arranged into five classes based on the sites where excision occurs. A 20 kb region of pMC7105, which includes BamHI fragment 9 and portions of adjacent fragments, is present in all excision plasmids and thought to contain the origin of replication. The site of integration on pMC7105 maps within BamHI fragment 8. This fragment shows homology with seven other BamHI fragments of pMC7105 and with five chromosomal fragments identified among the excision plasmids. The data strongly suggest that the integration of pMC7105 may have occurred at a repetitive sequence present on the chromosome and on the plasmid. 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
