Multiple small heat shock proteins in rhizobia.


ABSTRACT: Seven genes coding for small heat shock proteins (sHsps) in Bradyrhizobium japonicum have been identified. They are organized in five operons that are coordinately regulated by ROSE, a negatively cis-acting DNA element. The deduced sHsps can be divided into two separate classes: class A, consisting of proteins that show similarity to Escherichia coli IbpA and IbpB, and class B, whose members display significant similarity to other sHsps from prokaryotes and eukaryotes. Two-dimensional gel electrophoresis and Edman sequencing revealed the presence of at least 12 sHsps in B. japonicum, indicating a remarkable abundance of sHsps in this organism. Three additional members of class A and two potentially novel heat shock proteins were identified on the basis of their amino termini. The presence of multiple sHsps was also demonstrated for a variety of Rhizobium and Bradyrhizobium species by immunoblot analysis and two-dimensional gel electrophoresis. An extensive database survey revealed that, in contrast to the rhizobia, other bacteria contain maximally two sHsps whereas many plants have been reported to possess a sHsp superfamily.
