Localization of α-galactosidase in an alkalophilic strain of Micrococcus was investigated in relation to the cell membrane as a permeability barrier. The most α-galactosidase appered to be intracellular; only about 4% of α-galactosidase was released by lysozyme or freeze-thaw treatments of the whole cells. The enzyme activity was not inhibited by treatment of the whole cells with diazo-7-amino-1,3-naphthalene disulfonic acid (NDS) which penetrated the cell wall but not the cytoplasmic membrane. The enzyme activity of the whole cells increased about four-fold by toluene-acetone treatment which caused an alteration in the membrane permeability. The enzyme in such cells became to be relatively sensitive to pH. These results showed that cell membrane played a protective role as a permeability barrier against alkaline environment. 相似文献

A total of 905 enterohemorrhagic Escherichia coli (EHEC) O157:H7 isolates that were recovered from experimentally infected cattle, in addition to the inoculated strain, were analyzed by pulsed-field gel electrophoresis (PFGE). Twelve PFGE profiles other than that of the inoculated strain were observed. We successfully identified five distinct chromosomal deletions that affected the PFGE profiles using whole-genome PCR scanning and DNA sequencing analysis. The changes in PFGE profiles of EHEC O157:H7 isolates after passage through the intestinal tract of cattle were partially generated by deletion of chromosomal regions.Enterohemorrhagic Escherichia coli (EHEC) O157:H7 causes hemorrhagic colitis and hemolytic-uremic syndrome in humans worldwide (18). Cattle are considered the primary reservoir for this pathogen and play a central role in transmission to humans (6). Healthy cattle transiently carry EHEC O157:H7 and shed the bacteria in their feces (5, 7). Human infections have been associated with the consumption of contaminated meat and milk, direct contact with cattle, and the consumption of vegetables, fruits, and water contaminated with cattle manure (6).Because of its high discriminatory power, pulsed-field gel electrophoresis (PFGE) has been widely employed as a molecular typing method in many epidemiological investigations to identify various outbreaks and routes of transmission of EHEC O157:H7 (1, 12, 15, 17). Simpson''s index of diversity (9) was reported to be >0.985 in previous studies (1, 15), supporting the identification of richness (the number of types among isolates) and evenness (the relative distribution of individual strains among the different types) of molecular typing using PFGE.Instability of the PFGE patterns of EHEC O157:H7 isolates has been reported. Changes in PFGE patterns were observed among strains after repeated subculturing and prolonged storage at room temperature (11). Loss of Shiga toxin genes and a large-scale inversion within the genome were identified as genetic events generating changes in PFGE patterns in vitro (10, 13). Shifts in the genotypes of EHEC O157:H7 clinical isolates from patients and cattle have been reported (3, 14). This phenomenon was also observed in EHEC O157:H7 experimental infections of cattle. Spontaneous curing of a 90-kb plasmid resulted in the loss of two restricted fragments from the PFGE profiles of EHEC O157:H7 isolates obtained from experimentally infected cattle (2). The purpose of the present study was to identify the genetic events affecting the PFGE patterns of EHEC O157:H7 after passage through the intestinal tract of cattle, especially for restriction fragments that are >90 kb long.Four 5-month-old Holstein steers were housed individually in climate-controlled biosafety level 2 containment barns in accordance with the guidelines for animal experimentation defined by the National Institute of Animal Health of Japan. The pens had individual floor drains and were cleaned twice daily with water and disinfectant. All animals were healthy and culture negative for EHEC O157:H7 strains, as determined by a previously described technique (2), prior to inoculation.EHEC O157:H7 strain Sakai-215 (12, 23), which was isolated from an outbreak in Sakai, Osaka Prefecture, in 1996 was used for inoculation. This strain harbors the genes encoding Stx1 and Stx2. A spontaneous resistant strain was selected with nalidixic acid in order to facilitate the recovery of this strain from fecal samples. All calves were inoculated using a stomach tube with an exponential-phase culture (109 CFU) of the nalidixic acid-resistant Sakai-215 strain. Fecal samples were collected from the four calves daily for 45 days. Fecal culturing was performed as described previously (2). Eight non-sorbitol-fermenting colonies were selected daily from each animal and identified as EHEC O157:H7 colonies by routine diagnostic methods (25).All animals were clinically normal throughout the experimental period. The EHEC O157:H7-inoculated calves (calves 1 to 4) were culture positive for the organism 24 h after inoculation. Intermittent fecal shedding by the calves was observed until 27, 32, 26, and 39 days postinoculation for calves 1, 2, 3, and 4, respectively (Fig. (Fig.1).1). The numbers of EHEC O157:H7 isolates recovered from calves 1, 2, 3, and 4 were 200, 224, 200, and 281, respectively.Open in a separate windowFIG. 1.Changes in PFGE profiles of EHEC O157:H7 isolates recovered from calves 1 (A), 2 (B), 3 (C), and 4 (D). The absence of a bar indicates that no EHEC O157:H7 was detected. The open horizontal bars under the vertical bars indicate that the eight isolates obtained on a day were obtained from the enrichment culture.A total of 905 recovered isolates in addition to the inoculated strain were used for PFGE analysis. Genomic DNA from each EHEC O157:H7 isolate was prepared using the method of Persing (Mayo Clinic, Rochester, MN) described by Rice et al. (20). Agarose-embedded chromosomal DNA was cleaved with XbaI by following the manufacturer''s instructions. PFGE was performed in a 0.85% megabase agarose gel, using a CHEF DR III apparatus (Bio-Rad Laboratories). The pulse time was increased from 12 to 35 s for 18 h. The PFGE profiles of all of the EHEC O157:H7 isolates recovered from the four calves were compared with that of the inoculated strain. The number of band differences was determined by enumerating the loss and addition of fragments (22).Two hundred eighty-nine isolates had PFGE profiles different from that of the inoculated strain, and 12 distinct PFGE profiles were identified for these isolates (Table (Table1).1). The fact that only one to three band differences were observed for the 12 profiles suggested that these isolates were closely related (22) and were variants of the inoculated strain. In addition, the pens had individual floor drains and were cleaned twice daily with water and disinfectant, which reduced the likelihood of introduction of novel EHEC O157:H7 strains. We designated the PFGE profiles A to L. PFGE profiles A, C, and H were obtained for all four calves and accounted for 30.4% of the 905 isolates recovered. Different PFGE profiles were obtained for all animals at least 2 days postinoculation (Fig. (Fig.1).1). All eight isolates from calf 2 collected on day 15 postinoculation and from calf 3 collected on days 22 and 23 postinoculation had PFGE profiles different from that of the original isolate (Fig. (Fig.1).1). The isolates that had the same PFGE profile as the inoculated strain were detected again later.
Open in a separate windowaPFGE profile of inoculated strain Sakai-215.bTotal numbers of isolates having PFGE profiles A to L.Kudva et al. (16) demonstrated that the difference in PFGE profiles between EHEC O157:H7 strains was due to distinct insertions or deletions that contained XbaI sites rather than to single-nucleotide polymorphisms in the XbaI sites themselves. To identify the locations of insertions or deletions in the genome of the EHEC O157:H7 isolates recovered from experimentally infected cattle, whole-genome PCR scanning (WGP scanning) was performed as described previously (19). Briefly, 549 pairs of PCR primers were used to amplify 549 segments covering the whole chromosome of EHEC O157:H7 strain RIMD 0509952, with overlaps of a certain length at every segment end. The inoculated strain (strain Sakai-215) and the strain whose genome was sequenced (RIMD 0509952) were isolated from the same outbreak in Japan in 1996 (23) and had same PFGE profile after XbaI digestion. All primer sequences are available at http://genome.gen-info.osaka-u.ac.jp/bacteria/o157/pcrscan.html. PCR were performed using genomic DNA as the template and long accurate PCR (LA-PCR) kits. The cycling conditions for the LA-PCR included an initial incubation at 96°C for 100 s, followed by 30 cycles of 96°C for 20 s and 69°C for 10 min.Prior to the WGP scanning of the isolates, we scanned an approximately 1.2-Mb region covered by 116 segments (71/72 to 146/147) of the EHEC O157:H7 genome using 24 strains, including inoculated strain Sakai-215, 4 isolates with the same PFGE profile as the inoculated strain, 3 isolates with PFGE profile A, 3 isolates with PFGE profile C, 2 isolates with PFGE profile F, 2 isolates with PFGE profile H, 2 isolates with PFGE profile I, and one isolate each with PFGE profiles B, D, E, G, J, K, and L. The main purpose of this preliminary scanning was to determine the extent of variation in the data for isolates having the same PFGE profiles.As shown in Fig. Fig.2,2, we successfully amplified products that were the expected sizes for 103 of the 116 segments for the 24 strains tested. No amplification in a segment was observed for the 24 strains. Polymorphism (expected amplification was observed in some but not all strains) was observed in 12 segments. Eleven of the 12 polymorphic segments consisted of two different sequentially unamplified regions. An IS629 insertion was also observed in a polymorphic segment in one strain. In other words, variation in the data for isolates with the same PFGE profile was not observed except for the isolates having the same PFGE profile as the inoculated strain. Hence, we performed WGP scanning using one isolate with each of the selected PFGE profiles.Open in a separate windowFIG. 2.Summary of the results of PCR scanning analysis of part of the EHEC O157:H7 genome using 24 strains recovered from experimentally infected cattle.

In, inoculated strain.The results of WGP scanning of the seven isolates with different PFGE profiles in addition to inoculated strain Sakai-215 are summarized in Fig. Fig.3.3. We successfully amplified products of the expected sizes for 530 of 549 segments for the eight strains tested. No amplification was observed for any of the eight strains for three segments (133.2/133.3, 164.4/164.5, and 164.5/164.6). Polymorphism was observed in 16 segments. Fourteen of the 16 polymorphic segments were located in four different regions.Open in a separate windowFIG. 3.Summary of the results of WGP scanning analysis of the EHEC O157:H7 isolates recovered from experimentally infected cattle and the inoculated strain. The positions of Sp5 and Sp13 are indicated above the data lines. Segments showing polymorphism (expected amplification was observed in some strains but not in all strains) are indicated below the data lines. In, inoculated strain.The 110/110.1-to-110.5/111 region in PFGE profile I, the 122/122.1-to-122.4/123 region in PFGE profile K, and the 199/199.1-to-199.2/200 region in PFGE profiles B, C, and G corresponded to prophages Sp5, Sp6, and Sp13, respectively. The 283/284-to-285/286 region in PFGE profile E and the 448/448.1-to-448.1/448.2 region in PFGE profile B corresponded to nonprophage regions on the chromosome. The sizes of the deletion sites of nonprophage regions 283/284 to 285/286 and 448/448.1 to 448.1/448.2 were 17 kb and 9.5 kb, respectively. We synthesized new primer pairs upstream and downstream of these five regions and performed LA-PCR (data not shown). The results of the sequencing analysis of the products indicated that the three prophage genomes were cured at their integration sites (Fig. 4A to C). It is not clear from this study whether deletion of the three prophages represented phage excisions or simple deletions. We identified short direct CCGCCA and GC repeats at both ends of the 17-kb and 9.5-kb deletion sites, respectively, compared with the sequence data for the Sakai-215 strain, although the deleted regions included one side of the direct repeats (Fig. 5D and E).Open in a separate windowFIG. 4.Schematic diagrams showing the relationships between deletions of chromosomal regions and changes in the sizes of restricted fragments. (A) The 467-kb restricted fragment of PFGE profile I was generated by deletion of prophage Sp5 located in the 530-kb fragments of the inoculated strain. (B) The 759-kb restricted fragment of PFGE profile K was generated by deletion of Sp6 located in the adjacent 530-kb and 278-kb fragments of the inoculated strain. (C) The 291-kb restricted fragment of PFGE profiles C, G, and H was generated by deletion of prophage Sp13 located in the adjacent 255-kb and 55-kb fragments of the inoculated strain. (D) The 188-kb restricted fragment of PFGE profile E was generated by deletion of the 17-kb chromosomal region in the 205-kb fragment of the inoculated strain. (E) The 334-kb restricted fragment of PFGE profile B was generated by deletion of the 9.5-kb region located in the adjacent 343-kb and 6.2-kb fragments of the inoculated strain.Open in a separate windowFIG. 5.Comparison of the PFGE profiles of the EHEC O157:H7 isolates recovered from experimentally infected cattle and the inoculated strain. Lane M, λ ladder used as a size marker; lane 1, inoculated strain; lanes 2 to 13, isolates with PFGE profiles A to L, respectively.The deleted 17-kb region contains 16 open reading frames, including formate hydrogenase-related genes (4), mutS (21), and rpoS (8), suggesting that the strain with PFGE profile E is more susceptible to environmental stresses than the inoculated strain. In fact, the isolate with PFGE profile E was more susceptible to low-pH, high-temperature, and high-osmolarity conditions or to the presence of deoxycholate in vitro than the other isolates obtained in this study (data not shown). The fact that this isolate was obtained 4 days after inoculation from calf 1 and could not be detected after that time suggested that the isolate with PFGE profile E could not survive in the intestine of the calf due to the loss of genes related to stress resistance. The deleted 9.5-kb region contains nine open reading frames whose functions are unknown. The strain with this deletion was isolated 1 day after inoculation from calf 3 and could not be detected after that time.Sp5 is one of the prophages in EHEC O157:H7 RIMD 0509952 carrying the stx2 gene. Deletion of this prophage affected the PFGE profile of inoculated strain Sakai-215. The loss of a 530-kb fragment and the gain of a 467-kb fragment due to deletion of the 63-kb prophage Sp5 were identified in PFGE profile I (Fig. (Fig.4A4A and and55).Sp6 is one of the lambda-like phages and has a single XbaI site in its genome. The loss of 530-kb and 278-kb fragments and the gain of a 759-kb fragment due to deletion of this phage were identified in PFGE profile K (Fig. (Fig.4B4B and and55).Sp13 is one of the P2-like phages that have a single XbaI site in the genome. The loss of 255-kb and 55-kb fragments and the gain of a 291-kb fragment due to deletion of this prophage were identified in PFGE profiles C, G, and H (Fig. (Fig.4C4C and and5).5). The same changes in PFGE profile B were not observed, although we found a sequentially unamplified region in which Sp13 was located in the genomes of isolates with PFGE profile B (Fig. (Fig.3).3). We detected part of the Sp13 sequence by Southern blot analysis; however, this part of the sequence was not detected in isolates with PFGE profiles C, G, and H (data not shown). One possible explanation for this phenomenon is that deletion of part of the Sp13 sequence included deletion of primer annealing sites. However, the details of mutation in this region for the isolates with PFGE profile B are not clear.Deletion of the two nonprophage regions also affected the PFGE profiles. The loss of a 205-kb fragment and the gain of a 188-kb fragment due to deletion of a 17-kb region were identified in PFGE profile E (Fig. (Fig.4D4D and and5).5). The loss of a 343-kb fragment and the gain of a 334-kb fragment due to deletion of a 9.5-kb region were identified in PFGE profile B (Fig. (Fig.4E4E and and55).Two single unamplified segments were both observed in the strain with PFGE profile F (106.3/106.4 and 204.2/204.3). We could not amplify these regions using additional primer pairs (data not shown). Insertion of DNA or large-scale inversion might have occurred in these regions. The other unamplified segments all corresponded to deletion of chromosomal regions. Recombination successfully occurred and cured three prophages and two other chromosomal regions. These data suggest that the changes in PFGE profiles after passage through the intestinal tract of cattle are generated in part by deletion of chromosomal regions. Obviously, deletion of five chromosomal regions does not explain the other changes in the PFGE profiles, including profiles A, D, F, J, and L. The genetic events behind such changes are not clear.Prior to drawing a conclusion, we need to consider the use of nalidixic acid, a potent inducer of bacteriophage induction (24), for selection of the isolates. In addition, most of the EHEC O157:H7 isolates obtained on day 8 postinoculation and later were isolated from enrichment cultures (Fig. (Fig.1).1). The possibility that the culturing process itself affected the deletion events affecting the PFGE profiles cannot be ruled out. Taken together, the results suggest that deletions can cause a single strain to mutate into several variants while it is passing through the gastrointestinal tract of a host, provided that the culture technique used does not contribute to this process. Hence, this study may explain why EHEC O157:H7 isolates with various PFGE profiles can be isolated from a single animal. What causes the deletion mutations and why the PFGE profiles show such patterns after passage through cattle are subjects for future studies. 相似文献

In the adrenal medulla, binding of the immediate early gene (IEG) proteins, EGR-1 (ZIF-268/KROX-24/NGFI-A) and AP-1, to the
tyrosine hydroxylase (Th) proximal promoter mediate inducible Th expression. The current study investigated the potential role of EGR-1 in inducible Th expression in the olfactory bulb (OB) since IEGs bound to the AP-1 site in the Th proximal promoter are also necessary for activity-dependent OB TH expression. Immunohistochemical analysis of a naris-occluded
mouse model of odor deprivation revealed weak EGR-1 expression levels in the OB glomerular layer that were activity-dependent.
Immunofluorescence analysis indicated that a majority of glomerular cells expressing EGR-1 also co-expressed TH, but only
small subset of TH-expressing cells contained EGR-1. By contrast, granule cells, which lack TH, exhibited EGR-1 expression
levels that were unchanged by naris closure. Together, these finding suggest that EGR-1 mediates activity-dependent TH expression
in a subset of OB dopaminergic neurons, and that there is differential regulation of EGR-1 in periglomerular and granule cells. 相似文献

Maltohexaose-producing amylase (G6-amylase) from alkalophilic Bacillus sp.707 predominantly produces maltohexaose (G6) in the yield of >30% of the total products from short-chain amylose (DP=17). Our previous crystallographic study showed that G6-amylase has nine subsites, from -6 to +3, and pointed out the importance of the indole moiety of Trp140 in G6 production. G6-amylase has very low levels of hydrolytic activities for oligosaccharides shorter than maltoheptaose. To elucidate the mechanism underlying G6 production, we determined the crystal structures of the G6-amylase complexes with G6 and maltopentaose (G5). In the active site of the G6-amylase/G5 complex, G5 is bound to subsites -6 to -2, while G1 and G6 are found at subsites +2 and -7 to -2, respectively, in the G6-amylase/G6 complex. In both structures, the glucosyl residue located at subsite -6 is stacked to the indole moiety of Trp140 within a distance of 4A. The measurement of the activities of the mutant enzymes when Trp140 was replaced by leucine (W140L) or by tyrosine (W140Y) showed that the G6 production from short-chain amylose by W140L is lower than that by W140Y or wild-type enzyme. The face-to-face short contact between Trp140 and substrate sugars is suggested to regulate the disposition of the glucosyl residue at subsite -6 and to govern product specificity for G6 production. 相似文献

The molecular epidemiology of 545 Salmonella enterica serovar Typhimurium isolates collected between 1977 and 2009 from cattle in Hokkaido, Japan, was investigated using pulsed-field gel electrophoresis (PFGE). Nine main clusters were identified from 116 PFGE patterns. Cluster I comprised 248 isolates, 243 of which possessed a sequence specific to definitive phage type 104 (DT104) or U302. The cluster I isolates were dominant in 1993 to 2003, but their numbers declined beginning in 2004. Beginning in 2002, an increase was observed in the number of cluster VII isolates, consisting of 21 PFGE patterns comprising 165 isolates. A total of 116 isolates representative of the 116 PFGE profiles were analyzed by multilocus variable-number tandem-repeat analysis (MLVA). Other than two drug-sensitive isolates, 19 isolates within cluster VII were classified in the same cluster by MLVA. Among the cluster VII isolates, an antibiotic resistance type showing resistance to ampicillin, chloramphenicol, streptomycin, sulfonamides, tetracycline, kanamycin, cefazolin, and sulfamethoxazole-trimethoprim and a resistance type showing resistance to ampicillin, streptomycin, sulfonamides, tetracycline, and kanamycin were found in 23 and 125 isolates, respectively. In the 19 isolates representative of cluster VII, the bla(TEM-1) gene was found on a Salmonella serotype Typhimurium virulence plasmid, which was transferred to Escherichia coli by electroporation along with resistance to two to four other antimicrobials. Genomic analysis by subtractive hybridization and plasmid analysis suggested that the bla(TEM-1)-carrying virulence plasmid has a mosaic structure composed of elements of different origin. These results indicate an emerging multidrug-resistant S. Typhimurium clone carrying a virulence-resistance plasmid among cattle in Hokkaido, Japan. 相似文献

Insertion sequences (ISs) are the simplest transposable elements and are widely distributed in bacteria; however, they also play important roles in genome evolution. We recently identified a protein called IS excision enhancer (IEE) in enterohemorrhagic Escherichia coli (EHEC) O157. IEE promotes the excision of IS elements belonging to the IS3 family, such as IS629, as well as several other families. IEE-mediated IS excision generates various genomic deletions that lead to the diversification of the bacterial genome. IEE has been found in a broad range of bacterial species; however, among sequenced E. coli strains, IEE is primarily found in EHEC isolates. In this study, we investigated non-EHEC pathogenic E. coli strains isolated from domestic animals and found that IEE is distributed in specific lineages of enterotoxigenic E. coli (ETEC) strains of serotypes O139 or O149 isolated from swine. The iee gene is located within integrative elements that are similar to SpLE1 of EHEC O157. All iee-positive ETEC lineages also contained multiple copies of IS629, a preferred substrate of IEE, and their genomic locations varied significantly between strains, as observed in O157. These data suggest that IEE may have been transferred among EHEC and ETEC in swine via SpLE1 or SpLE1-like integrative elements. In addition, IS629 is actively moving in the ETEC O139 and O149 genomes and, as in EHEC O157, is promoting the diversification of these genomes in combination with IEE. 相似文献
