228 strains of soil and rhizosphere pseudomonads isolated in different geographic zones were screened, with the use of two tester systems, for the capacity to produce N-acyl-homoserine lactones (AHLs), which are autoinducers involved in quorum-sensing (QS) regulation. AHL production was found in 11.4% of the strains investigated. In five Pseudomonas chlororaphis strains shown to be active AHL producers and chosen for further study, PCR identified two QS systems that involved the phzI, phzR, csaI, and csaR genes; this finding suggests the conservative nature of these regulation systems in P. chloroaphis. Strain P. chlororaphis 449, chosen as a model object and studied in greater detail, produced three AHL species including N-butanoyl-homoserine lactone and N-hexanoyl-homoserine lactone. This strain produced three types of phenazine antibiotics, as well as siderophores and cyanide; it also exhibited antagonistic properties toward a wide spectrum of phytopathogenic fungi. The phzI and csaI genes, coding for synthases of AHLs of two types, were cloned and sequenced; mutants with knocked-out phzI and csaI genes were obtained. With the use of transposon mutagenesis and the gene substitution method, mutations were obtained in the global expression regulator genes gacS, coding for the GacA-GacS regulation system kinase, and rpoS, coding for the sigma S subunit of RNA polymerase. The effect of these mutations on the AHL synthesis and on the regulation of various metabolic processes in P. chlororaphis was studied. 相似文献

Microcin C is a ribosome-synthesized heptapeptide that contains a modified adenosine monophosphate covalently attached to the C-terminal aspartate. Microcin C is a potent inhibitor of bacterial cell growth. Based on the in vivo kinetics of inhibition of macromolecular synthesis, Microcin C targets translation, through a mechanism that remained undefined. Here, we show that Microcin C is a subject of specific degradation inside the sensitive cell. The product of degradation, a modified aspartyl-adenylate containing an N-acylphosphoramidate linkage, strongly inhibits translation by blocking the function of aspartyl-tRNA synthetase. 相似文献

The reproduction of phage T7 in the presence of hydroxylamine (HA) (mutagenesis in vivo) results in the phenotypic suppression of some amber mutants. The presence of O-methylhydroxylamine (OMHA) results in a similar effect, indicating a similar mechanism for the action of the two compounds. Since the rate of reaction of mutagen with nucleoside residues under these conditions in negligibly low, one of the most plausible explanations of this effect is the enzymic formation of modified precursors and their incorporation into bacterial tRNAs or phage-induced RNA. 相似文献

Quorum-sensing control mediated by N-acylhomoserine lactone (AHL) signal molecules has been established as a key feature in the regulation of various metabolic traits in many bacteria. Approximately 300 strains representing 6 genera and 18 species of soil-borne and plant-associated Gram-negative bacteria isolated in various regions of the former USSR using two reporter systems were screened for AHL production. The production was observed in 17.5% of the screened bacterial strains. Positive response was detected in all of the 14 tested strains of Erwinia herbicola, in 41 of the 239 strains of Pseudomonas species; in all 5 strains of Xanthomonas ampelina, X. campestris pv. malvacearum, pv. translucens, pv. vesicatoria and in one strain of Pantoea stewartii. AHL assay of 41 strains of X. maltophilia (syn. Stenotrophomonas maltophilia) isolated from soils with Chromobacterium violaceum reporter has revealed no strains synthesizing these signal molecules; 26 strains analyzed with Agrobacterium tumefaciens reporter showed the same result. 相似文献

Microcin C51 is a small peptide antibiotic produced by Escherichia coli cells harbouring the 38 kb low copy number plasmid pC51, which codes for microcin production and immunity. The genetic determinants for microcin synthesis and immunity were cloned into the vectors pBR325, pUC19 and pACYC184. Physical and phenotypic analysis of deletion derivatives and mutant plasmids bearing insertions of transposon Tn5 showed that a DNA fragment of about 5 kb is required for microcin C51 synthesis and expression of complete immunity to microcin. Partial immunity can be provided by a 2 kb DNA fragment. Mutant plasmids were tested for their ability to complement Mic– mutations. Results of these experiments indicate that at least three plasmid genes are required for microcin production. The host OmpR function is also necessary for microcin C51 synthesis. 相似文献

Strain Pseudomonas chlororaphis 449, an antagonist of a broad spectrum of phytopathogenic microorganisms isolated from the maize rhizosphere, was shown to produce three phenazine antibiotics: phenazine-1-carboxylic acid (PCA), 2-hydroxylphenazine-1-carboxylic acid (2-OH-PCA), and 2-hydroxylphenazine (2-OH-PHZ). Two Quorum Sensing (QS) systems of regulation were identified: Phz/R and CsaI/R. Genes phzI and csaI were cloned and sequenced. Cells of strain 449 synthesize at least three types of AHL: N-butanoyl-L-homoserine lactone (C4-AHL), N-hexanoyl-L-homoserine lactone (C6-AHL), and N-(3-oxo-hexanoyl)-L-homoserine lactone (30C6-AHL). Transposon mutagenesis was used to generate mutants of strain 449 deficient in synthesis of phenazines, which carried inactivated phzA and phzB genes of the phenazine operon and gene phzO. Mutations phzA ? and phzB ? caused a drastic reduction in the antagonistic activity of bacteria toward phytopathogenic fungi. Both mutants lost the ability to protect cucumber and leguminous plants against phytopathogenic fungi Rhizoctonia solani and Sclerotinia sclerotiorum. These results suggest a significant role of phenazines in the antagonistic activity of P. chlororaphis 449. 相似文献

The kinetics of chemical and functional changes induced in the genome of bacteriophage MS2 by hydroxylamine under the conditions of predominant modification of either cytidine (pH 5.0) or uridine (pH 8.0) have been studied.Comparison of the kinetics of chemical modifications of monomeric nucleotides with those of bacteriophage inactivation at pH 8.0 and 5.0 made it possible to estimate the effective number of exposed cytidine and uridine residues in the intra-phage RNA (Beffc and Beffu). The Beffu was close to that expected and increased from 70 to 130 as the temperature rose from 0 to 30°. The Beffc was much greater than that expected on the basis of the results with the monomer, suggesting that side reactions are involved in the inactivation of the phage at pH 5.0.A significant increase of the frequency of mutation occurs only under the conditions of predominant modification of cytidine (pH 5.0) at 0°. No such effect was observed at 30°. This was probably due to the increased contribution of inactivating side reactions. The effect of hydroxylamine on the phage under the conditions of predominant uridine modification (pH 8.0) did not lead to an increase in frequency of mutants.Incubation of the intact phage in acetate buffer resulted in considerable inactivation and mutations. Inactivation was inhibited by magnesium ions. Incubation at pH 5.5, of the phage inactivated by hydroxylamine treatment at pH 8.0, resulted in a considerable increase of the inefectivity with no effect on the frequency of mutants. The infectivity and the mutation frequency of the phage treated with hydroxylamine at pH 5.0 did not change as a result of incubation at pH 4.0 after the removal of the reagent. 相似文献
