Genetic characterization of a Sinorhizobium meliloti chromosomal region in lipopolysaccharide biosynthesis.

Project description:The genetic characterization of a 5.5-kb chromosomal region of Sinorhizobium meliloti 2011 that contains lpsB, a gene required for the normal development of symbiosis with Medicago spp., is presented. The nucleotide sequence of this DNA fragment revealed the presence of six genes: greA and lpsB, transcribed in the forward direction; and lpsE, lpsD, lpsC, and lrp, transcribed in the reverse direction. Except for lpsB, none of the lps genes were relevant for nodulation and nitrogen fixation. Analysis of the transcriptional organization of lpsB showed that greA and lpsB are part of separate transcriptional units, which is in agreement with the finding of a DNA stretch homologous to a "nonnitrogen" promoter consensus sequence between greA and lpsB. The opposite orientation of lpsB with respect to its first downstream coding sequence, lpsE, indicated that the altered LPS and the defective symbiosis of lpsB mutants are both consequences of a primary nonpolar defect in a single gene. Global sequence comparisons revealed that the greA-lpsB and lrp genes of S. meliloti have a genetic organization similar to that of their homologous loci in R. leguminosarum bv. viciae. In particular, high sequence similarity was found between the translation product of lpsB and a core-related biosynthetic mannosyltransferase of R. leguminosarum bv. viciae encoded by the lpcC gene. The functional relationship between these two genes was demonstrated in genetic complementation experiments in which the S. meliloti lpsB gene restored the wild-type LPS phenotype when introduced into lpcC mutants of R. leguminosarum. These results support the view that S. meliloti lpsB also encodes a mannosyltransferase that participates in the biosynthesis of the LPS core. Evidence is provided for the presence of other lpsB-homologous sequences in several members of the family Rhizobiaceae.

Biotin limitation in Sinorhizobium meliloti strain 1021 alters transcription and translation.

Project description:Most Sinorhizobium meliloti strains lack several key genes involved in microbial biotin biosynthesis, and it is assumed that this may be a special adaptation which allows the microbe to down-regulate metabolic activities in the absence of a host plant. To further explore this hypothesis, we employed two different strategies. (i) Searches of the S. meliloti genome database in combination with the construction of nine different gusA reporter fusions identified three genes involved in a biotin starvation response in this microbe. A gene coding for a protein-methyl carboxyl transferase (pcm) exhibited 13.6-fold-higher transcription under biotin-limiting conditions than cells grown in the presence of 40 nM biotin. Consistent with this observation, biotin-limiting conditions resulted in a significantly decreased survival of pcm mutant cells compared to parental cells or cells grown in the presence of 40 nM biotin. Further studies indicated that the autoinducer synthase gene, sinI, was transcribed at a 4.5-fold-higher level in early stationary phase in biotin-starved cells than in biotin-supplemented cells. Lastly, we observed that open reading frame smc02283, which codes for a putative copper resistance protein (CopC), was 21-fold down-regulated in response to biotin starvation. (ii) In a second approach, proteome analysis identified 10 proteins which were significantly down-regulated under the biotin-limiting conditions. Among the proteins identified by using matrix-assisted laser desorption ionization-time of flight mass spectrometry were the pi subunit of the RNA polymerase and the 50S ribosomal protein L7/L12 (L8) subunit, indicating that biotin-limiting conditions generally affect transcription and translation in S. meliloti.

Sinorhizobium meliloti cells: untreated 1021 wild type strain vs. RD64 strain

Project description:Nitrogen (N) and phosphorus (P) are the most limiting factors for plant growth. Some microorganisms improve the uptake and availability of N and P minimizing chemical fertilizers dependence. It has been published that the RD64 strain, a Sinorhizobium meliloti 1021 strain engineered to overproduce indole-3-acetic acid (IAA), showed improved nitrogen fixation ability as compared to the wild type 1021 strain. We present here data showing that RD64 is also highly effective in mobilizing P from insoluble sources such as phosphate rock (PR). Under P-limiting conditions, the higher P-mobilizing activity of RD64, as compared to 1021 wild type strain, is connected with the up-regulation of genes coding for the high-affinity P transport system, the induction of acid phosphatase activity and the increased secretion into the growth media of malic, succinic and fumaric acids. Medicago truncatula plants nodulated by RD64 (Mt-RD64), when grown under P deficient conditions, released higher amounts of another P-solubilizing organic acid, the 2-hydroxyglutaric acid, as compared to the plants nodulated by the wild-type strain (Mt-1021). It has already been shown that Mt-RD64 plants exhibited a higher dry weight production as compared to Mt-1021 plants. Here we report that also P-starved Mt-RD64 plants show a significant increase both in shoot and root fresh weight when compared to P-starved Mt-1021 plants. We discuss how, in a rhizobium-legume model system, a balanced interplay of different factors linked to the bacterial IAA over-production rather than IAA production per se stimulates plant growth under stressful environmental conditions, and in particular, under P-starvation.

Transcriptome analysis of Sinorhizobium meliloti strain ectopically overexpressing trpL

Project description:We show that the RNA leves of many genes in the S. meliloti overexpressing strain (OE) 2011 (pRK-RcsR1) are more similar to the levels of in wild type (WT) strain 2011 than in the empty vector control (EVC) strain 2011(pRK4352). Since the plasmid-containing strains were grown in the presence of 10 µg/ml tetracycline (Tc), while the WT was grown without Tc, the results suggest that the intrecellular Tc concentration in the OE strain are lower than in the EVC. This is explained by an increased efflux pump activity in the OE strain.
