Reevaluation of the Complete Genome Sequence of Magnetospirillum gryphiswaldense MSR-1 with Single-Molecule Real-Time Sequencing Data.

ABSTRACT: Magnetospirillum gryphiswaldense is a key organism for understanding magnetosome formation and magnetotaxis. As earlier studies suggested a high genomic plasticity, we (re)sequenced the type strain MSR-1 and the laboratory strain R3/S1. Both sequences differ by only 11 point mutations, but organization of the magnetosome island deviates from that of previous genome sequences.

Project description:The bacterium Magnetospirillum gryphiswaldense MSR-1 forms nanosized membrane-enclosed organelles termed magnetosomes. The mamXY operon, part of the magnetosome island (MAI), includes the mamY, mamX, mamZ, and ftsZ-like genes, which initiate gene transcription via the same promoter. We used a combination of molecular biological techniques (targeting of cross-linking reagents) and high-resolution mass spectrometry to investigate the coordinated activity of the four MamXY proteins in magnetite biomineralization. The FtsZ-like protein was shown by confocal laser scanning microscopy to be dispersed in the cytoplasm in the early stage of cell growth and then gradually polymerized along the magnetosome chain. Interactions of various pairs of MamXY proteins were observed using a bacterial two-hybrid system. We constructed a recombinant FtsZ-like-overexpressing strain, examined its growth patterns, and extracted magnetosome membrane proteins using a modified SDS/boiling method with BS2G-d0/d4 reagent, which helped stabilize interactions among MamXY proteins. In liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) analysis, MamY expression was detected first and remained highest among the four proteins throughout all stages of cell growth. MamX and MamZ expression was detected subsequently. The four proteins displayed coordinated expression patterns during the magnetosome maturation process. Unique peptides discovered in the MamXY protein sequences appeared to constitute "hidden" interaction sites involved in the formation of MamXY complex that helped control magnetosome shape and size.IMPORTANCE mamXY operon genes play an essential role in magnetite biomineralization, participate in redox reactions, and control magnetosome shape and size. However, mechanisms whereby the four MamXY proteins function together in iron oxidoreduction and transport are poorly understood. We used a combination of targeted cross-linking techniques and high-resolution mass spectrometry to elucidate the coordinated activity patterns of the MamXY proteins during magnetite biomineralization. Our findings indicate that the FtsZ-like protein undergoes polymerization and then recruits MamY, MamX, and MamZ in turn, and that these interactions depend on unique peptides present in the protein sequences. A hypothetical model of the functionalities of these proteins is proposed that accounts for the findings and provides a basis for further studies of coordination among magnetosome island (MAI) gene clusters during the process of magnetosome formation.
