    Zhang et al. BMC Microbiology (2020) 20:191 https://doi.org/10.1186/s12866-020-01880-x RESEARCH ARTICLE Open Access Pleiotropic effects of RsmA and RsmE proteins in Pseudomonas fluorescens 2P24 Yang Zhang1†, Bo Zhang1†, Haiyan Wu1, Xiaogang Wu1*, Qing Yan2* and Li-Qun Zhang3* Abstract Background: Pseudomonas fluorescens 2P24 is a rhizosphere bacterium that produces 2,4-diacetyphloroglucinol (2,4-DAPG) as the decisive secondary metabolite to suppress soilborne plant diseases. The biosynthesis of 2,4-DAPG is strictly regulated by the RsmA family proteins RsmA and RsmE. However, mutation of both of rsmA and rsmE genes results in reduced bacterial growth. Results: In this study, we showed that overproduction of 2,4-DAPG in the rsmA rsmE double mutant influenced the growth of strain 2P24. This delay of growth could be partially reversal when the phlD gene was deleted or overexpression of the phlG gene encoding the 2,4-DAPG hydrolase in the rsmA rsmE double mutant. RNA-seq analysis of the rsmA rsmE double mutant revealed that a substantial portion of the P. fluorescens genome was regulated by RsmA family proteins. These genes are involved in the regulation of 2,4-DAPG production, cell motility, carbon metabolism, and type six secretion system. Conclusions: These results suggest that RsmA and RsmE are the important regulators of genes involved in the plant- associated strain 2P24 ecologic fitness and operate a sophisticated mechanism for fine-tuning the concentration of 2,4-DAPG in the cells.

  • Evolutionary Patchwork of an Insecticidal Toxin
    Ruffner et al. BMC Genomics (2015) 16:609 DOI 10.1186/s12864-015-1763-2 RESEARCH ARTICLE Open Access Evolutionary patchwork of an insecticidal toxin shared between plant-associated pseudomonads and the insect pathogens Photorhabdus and Xenorhabdus Beat Ruffner1, Maria Péchy-Tarr2, Monica Höfte3, Guido Bloemberg4, Jürg Grunder5, Christoph Keel2* and Monika Maurhofer1* Abstract Background: Root-colonizing fluorescent pseudomonads are known for their excellent abilities to protect plants against soil-borne fungal pathogens. Some of these bacteria produce an insecticidal toxin (Fit) suggesting that they may exploit insect hosts as a secondary niche. However, the ecological relevance of insect toxicity and the mechanisms driving the evolution of toxin production remain puzzling. Results: Screening a large collection of plant-associated pseudomonads for insecticidal activity and presence of the Fit toxin revealed that Fit is highly indicative of insecticidal activity and predicts that Pseudomonas protegens and P. chlororaphis are exclusive Fit producers. A comparative evolutionary analysis of Fit toxin-producing Pseudomonas including the insect-pathogenic bacteria Photorhabdus and Xenorhadus, which produce the Fit related Mcf toxin, showed that fit genes are part of a dynamic genomic region with substantial presence/absence polymorphism and local variation in GC base composition. The patchy distribution and phylogenetic incongruence of fit genes indicate that the Fit cluster evolved via horizontal transfer, followed by functional integration of vertically transmitted genes, generating a unique Pseudomonas-specific insect toxin cluster. Conclusions: Our findings suggest that multiple independent evolutionary events led to formation of at least three versions of the Mcf/Fit toxin highlighting the dynamic nature of insect toxin evolution.

  • Structural Studies of Three Enzymes: Telomerase, the Methyltransferase Cobj and Pectate Lyase
    Structural studies of three enzymes: Telomerase, the methyltransferase CobJ and Pectate lyase Teng Teng To Thesis submitted to the University of London for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy 1 Abstract This thesis investigates the structure and function of three enzymes of biotechnological and biomedical interest: telomerase from Caenorhabtidis elegans , pectate lyase from Bacillus subtilis and the methyltransferase CobJ from Rhodobacter capsulatus . Telomerase is a ribonucleoprotein found in all eukaryotes and its function is to maintain telomere length, sustain chromosome integrity and circumvent the end-replication problem. The protein requires two subunits to function, telomerase reverse transcriptase (TERT), the catalytic component, and an intrinsic RNA template (TR). The TR makes telomerase a unique reverse transcriptase using the template in the synthesis of short iterative sequences which cap the ends of telomeres. This work reports the successful cloning of a small and therefore potentially crystallisable TERT from C. elegans and expression trials of this catalytic component. Cobalamin (vitamin B 12 ) is an intricate small molecule belonging to a group of compounds called cyclic tetrapyrroles. Its biosynthesis is achieved through a complex pathway encompassing over thirty different enzyme-mediated reactions. Within this pathway there are seven methyltransferases which add eight S-adenosyl-methionine (SAM) derived methyl groups to the macrocycle. CobJ catalyses the methylation of C17 and ring contraction at C20, this reaction which exudes C20 from the tetrapyrrole ring is unprecedented in nature. In this thesis I report the crystallisation of native CobJ and refinement and validation of a high resolution structure along side co-crystallisation and soaking experiments aimed at capturing an enzyme-tetrapyrrole complex.

Demain, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Cambridge, MA, January 29, 2001 (received for review August 2, 2000) Clostridium cellulovorans uses not only cellulose but also xylan, consisting of highly conserved 22-aa repeats. Therefore the C. mannan, pectin, and several other carbon sources for its growth cellulovorans cellulosomal enzymes identified to date are capable and produces an extracellular multienzyme complex called the of degrading cellulose, xylan, lichenan, and mannan.

Here because we have recently succeeded in converting Arabidopsis we report a gene for a cellulosomal subunit, pectate lyase A (PelA), and tobacco cells to protoplasts with the C. cellulovorans cellu- lying downstream of the engY gene, which codes for cellulosomal losomes (Y.T., S.

The amino carbon source for growth (5), we believed that the C. cellulo- acid sequence derived from pelA revealed a multidomain structure, vorans cellulosome must also have pectinase activity. The present i.e., an N-terminal domain partially homologous to the C terminus paper provides data that indicate that a cellulosomal gene pelA of PelB of Erwinia chrysanthemi belonging to family 1 of pectate and the enzyme encoded by this gene can degrade pectin and lyases, a putative cellulose-binding domain, a catalytic domain that pectate lyase A (PelA) contains a DS at its C terminus.

    The following supplement accompanies the article Isolates as models to study bacterial ecophysiology and biogeochemistry Åke Hagström*, Farooq Azam, Carlo Berg, Ulla Li Zweifel *Corresponding author: [email protected] Aquatic Microbial Ecology 80: 15–27 (2017) Supplementary Materials & Methods The bacteria characterized in this study were collected from sites at three different sea areas; the Northern Baltic Sea (63°30’N, 19°48’E), Northwest Mediterranean Sea (43°41'N, 7°19'E) and Southern California Bight (32°53'N, 117°15'W). Seawater was spread onto Zobell agar plates or marine agar plates (DIFCO) and incubated at in situ temperature. Colonies were picked and plate- purified before being frozen in liquid medium with 20% glycerol. The collection represents aerobic heterotrophic bacteria from pelagic waters. Bacteria were grown in media according to their physiological needs of salinity. Isolates from the Baltic Sea were grown on Zobell media (ZoBELL, 1941) (800 ml filtered seawater from the Baltic, 200 ml Milli-Q water, 5g Bacto-peptone, 1g Bacto-yeast extract). Isolates from the Mediterranean Sea and the Southern California Bight were grown on marine agar or marine broth (DIFCO laboratories). The optimal temperature for growth was determined by growing each isolate in 4ml of appropriate media at 5, 10, 15, 20, 25, 30, 35, 40, 45 and 50o C with gentle shaking. Growth was measured by an increase in absorbance at 550nm. Statistical analyses The influence of temperature, geographical origin and taxonomic affiliation on growth rates was assessed by a two-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) in R (http://www.r-project.org/) and the “car” package.
