Cloning, sequencing and function ofsanA, a gene involved in nikkomycin biosynthesis ofStreptomyces ansochromogenes

Several genetically stable mutants blocked in nikkomycin biosynthesis were obtained after the slightly germinated spores of Streptomyces ansochromogenes, a nikkomycin producer, were treated with ultra violet radiation. One of the mutants is the same in morpholotical differentiation as the wild type strain and is designated as NBB19. A DMA library was constructed using plasmid plJ702 as cloning vector, NBB19 as cloning recipient. A 6 kb DNA fragment which can genetically complement NBB19 was cloned when screening the library for antifungal activity. Sequence analysis showed that the 3 kb Bgl II-Sal I fragment contains one complete ORF (ORF1) and one partial ORF (ORF2). ORF1 is designated as sanA. sanA is 1 365 bp, encoding a protein consisting of 454 amino acid residues. Database searching indicated that sanA is homologous to the hypothetical methyltransferase in Pyrococcus horikoshli with 25% identities and 41% positives. Disruptant of sanA lost the ability to synthesize nikkomycin. It indicated that sa     

Biochemical and genetic analyses of acetoin catabolism in Alcaligenes eutrophus

In genetic studies on the catabolism of acetoin in Alcaligenes eutrophus, we used Tn5::mob-induced mutants which were impaired in the utilization of acetoin as the sole carbon source for growth. The transposon-harboring EcoRI restriction fragments from 17 acetoin-negative and slow-growing mutants (class 2a) and from six pleiotropic mutants of A. eutorphus, which were acetoin-negative and did not grow chemolithoautotrophically (class 2b), were cloned from pHC79 gene banks. The insertions of Tn5 were mapped on four different chromosomal EcoRI restriction fragments (A, C, D, and E) in class 2a mutants. The native DNA fragments were cloned from a lambda L47 or from a cosmid gene bank. Evidence is provided that fragments A (21 kilobase pairs [kb]) and C (7.7 kb) are closely linked in the genome; the insertions of Tn5 covered a region of approximately 5 kb. Physiological experiments revealed that this region encodes for acetoin:dichlorophenol-indophenol oxidoreductase, a fast-migrating protein, and probably for one additional protein that is as yet unknown. In mutants which were not completely impaired in growth on acetoin but which grew much slower and after a prolonged lag phase, fragments D (7.2 kb) and E (8.1 kb) were inactivated by insertion of Tn5::mob. No structural gene could be assigned to the D or E fragments. In class 2b mutants, insertions of Tn5 were mapped on fragment B (11.3 kb). This fragment complemented pleiotropic hno mutants in trans; these mutants were impaired in the formation of a rpoN-like protein. The expression of the gene cluster on fragments A and C seemed to be rpoN dependent.     

Cloning of wild-type Pseudomonas solanacearum phcA, a gene that when mutated alters expression of multiple traits that contribute to virulence.

Pseudomonas solanacearum undergoes a spontaneous mutation that pleiotropically reduces extracellular polysaccharide (EPS) production, endoglucanase activity, and virulence and increases motility. We refer to the process that coordinately affects these traits as phenotype conversion (PC) and the resulting mutants as PC types. Previous research with the wild-type strain AW1 suggested that inactivation of a single locus could mimic phenotype conversion (T. P. Denny, F. W. Makini, and S. M. Brumbley, Mol. Plant-Microbe Interact. 1:215-223, 1988). Additional Tn5 mutagenesis of AW1 generated three more mutants (AW1-81, AW1-82, and AW1-84) that were indistinguishable from the PC type and one slightly leaky mutant (AW1-87); all four had single insertions in the same 4.0-kilobase (kb) EcoRI fragment that were responsible for the PC-like phenotype. Another insertion mutant, AW1-83, which lacks an insertion in this 4.0-kb fragment, resembled the PC type except that it was reversibly induced to produce wild-type levels of EPS when cultured adjacent to AW1. The wild-type region containing the gene that controls traits affected by phenotype conversion in AW1, designated phcA, was cloned on a 2.2-kb DNA fragment that restored all the phcA::Tn5 mutants and 11 independent spontaneous PC-type derivatives of AW1 to wild-type status. Homology with the phcA region was found in diverse wild-type strains of P. solanacearum, although restriction fragment length polymorphisms were seen. No major DNA alterations were observed in the phcA homologous region of PC types from strain AW1 or 82N. PC types from 7 of 11 conjugal strains of P. solanacearum were restored to EPS+ by phcA from AW1; however, only some PC types of strain K60 were restored, whereas others were not. We believe that a functional phcA gene is required to maintain the wild-type phenotype in P. solanacearum, and for most strains phenotype conversion results from a loss of phcA gene expression or the function of its gene product.     

油菜单显性核雄性不育基因的分子标记

Molecular cloning of eucaryotic genes required for excision repair of UV-irradiated DNA: isolation and partial characterization of the RAD3 gene of Saccharomyces cerevisiae.

We describe the molecular cloning of a 6-kilobase (kb) fragment of yeast chromosomal DNA containing the RAD3 gene of Saccharomyces cerevisiae. When present in the autonomously replicating yeast cloning vector YEp24, this fragment transformed two different UV-sensitive, excision repair-defective rad3 mutants of S. cerevisiae to UV resistance. The same result was obtained with a variety of other plasmids containing a 4.5-kb subclone of the 6-kb fragment. The UV sensitivity of mutants defective in the RAD1, RAD2, RAD4, and RAD14 loci was not affected by transformation with these plasmids. The 4.5-kb fragment was subcloned into the integrating yeast vector YIp5, and the resultant plasmid was used to transform the rad3-1 mutant to UV resistance. Both genetic and physical studies showed that this plasmid integrated by homologous recombination into the rad3 site uniquely. We conclude from these studies that the cloned DNA that transforms the rad3-1 mutant to UV resistance contains the yeast chromosomal RAD3 gene. The 4.5-kb fragment was mapped by restriction analysis, and studies on some of the subclones generated from this fragment indicate that the RAD3 gene is at least 1.5 kb in size.
