Aims: To develop an intergeneric conjugation system for rimocidin‐producing Streptomyces rimosus. Methods and Results: High efficiencies of conjugation [10?2–10?3 transconjugants/recipient colony forming units (CFU)] were obtained when spores of S. rimosus were heat treated at 40°C for 10 min prior to mixing with E. coli ET12567(pUZ8002/pIJ8600) as donor. Mycelium from liquid grown cultures of S. rimosus could also be used as recipient instead of spores, with 24‐h cultures giving optimal results. TSA (Oxoid) medium containing 10 m mol l?1 MgCl2 was the preferred medium for conjugation. Southern hybridization was used to confirm that transconjugants of S. rimosus contained a single copy of pIJ8600 integrated at a unique chromosomal attachment site (attB). The transconjugants exhibited a high stability of plasmid integration and showed strong expression of green fluorescent protein when using pIJ8655 as the conjugative vector. Conclusion: Intergeneric conjugation between E. coli and S. rimosus was achieved at high efficiency using both spores and mycelium. Significance and Impact of the Study: The conjugation system developed provides a convenient gene expression system for S. rimosus R7 and will enable the genetic manipulation of the rimocidin gene cluster. 相似文献

We previously reported the association between prothrombin (F2), encoding a stone inhibitor protein - urinary prothrombin fragment 1 (UPTF1), and the risk of kidney stone disease in Northeastern Thai patients. To identify specific F2 variation responsible for the kidney stone risk, we conducted sequencing analysis of this gene in a group of the patients with kidney stone disease. Five intronic SNPs (rs2070850, rs2070852, rs1799867, rs2282687, and rs3136516) and one exonic non-synonymous single nucleotide polymorphism (nsSNP; rs5896) were found. The five intronic SNPs have no functional change as predicted by computer programs while the nsSNP rs5896 (c.494 C>T) located in exon 6 results in a substitution of threonine (T) by methionine (M) at the position 165 (T165M). The nsSNP rs5896 was subsequently genotyped in 209 patients and 216 control subjects. Genotypic and allelic frequencies of this nsSNP were analyzed for their association with kidney stone disease. The frequency of CC genotype of rs5896 was significantly lower in the patient group (13.4%) than that in the control group (22.2%) (P = 0.017, OR 0.54, 95% CI 0.32–0.90), and the frequency of C allele was significantly lower in the patient group (36.1%) than that in the control group (45.6%) (P = 0.005, OR 0.68, 95% CI 0.51–0.89). The significant differences of genotype and allele frequencies were maintained only in the female group (P = 0.033 and 0.003, respectively). The effect of amino-acid change on UPTF1 structure was also examined by homologous modeling and in silico mutagenesis. T165 is conserved and T165M substitution will affect hydrogen bond formation with E180. In conclusion, our results indicate that prothrombin variant (T165M) is associated with kidney stone risk in the Northeastern Thai female patients. 相似文献
