The helical MreB cytoskeleton in Escherichia coli MC1000/pLE7 is an artifact of the N-Terminal yellow fluorescent protein tag.

Journal of bacteriology 20120817 23

Based on fluorescence microscopy, the actin homolog MreB has been thought to form extended helices surrounding the cytoplasm of rod-shaped bacterial cells. The presence of these and other putative helices has come to dominate models of bacterial cell shape regulation, chromosome segregation, polarity, and motility. Here we use electron cryotomography to show that MreB does in fact form extended helices and filaments in Escherichia coli when yellow fluorescent protein (YFP) is fused to its N term ...[more]

Complete nucleotide sequence of cfr-carrying IncX4 plasmid pSD11 from Escherichia coli.

Project description:We report the complete nucleotide sequence of a plasmid carrying the multiresistance gene cfr. This plasmid was isolated from an Escherichia coli strain of swine origin in 2011. This 37,672-bp plasmid, pSD11, had an IncX4 backbone similar to those of the IncX4 plasmids obtained from the United States and Australia, in which the cfr gene was flanked by two copies of IS26 and a truncated Tn1331 was inserted.

Rapid tilt-series acquisition for electron cryotomography.

Project description:Using a new Titan Krios stage equipped with a single-axis holder, we developed two methods to accelerate the collection of tilt-series. We demonstrate a continuous-tilting method that can record a tilt-series in seconds, but with loss of details finer than ?4?nm. We also demonstrate a fast-incremental method that can record a tilt-series several-fold faster than current methods and with similar resolution. We characterize the utility of both methods in real biological electron cryotomography workflows. We identify opportunities for further improvements in hardware and software and speculate on the impact such advances could have on structural biology.

Accumulation of single-stranded DNA in Escherichia coli carrying the colicin plasmid pColE3-CA38.

Project description:We sequenced the complete 7118?bp circular plasmid pColE3-CA38 (pColE3) from Escherichia coli, located the previously identified colicin components together with two new ORFs that have homology to mobilization and transfer proteins, and found that pColE3 is highly similar to a plasmid present in enterohemorrhagic E. coli O111. We also found that unusual aspects of the plasmid include the inability to be completely digested with restriction endonucleases and asymmetric Phred DNA sequencing quality scores, with significantly lower scores in the forward direction relative to the colicin and immunity proteins consistent with plus (+) strand DNA. Comparing the A260 with picogreen double-stranded DNA (dsDNA) fluorescence and oligreen single-stranded DNA (ssDNA) fluorescence as well as metachromatic staining by acridine orange, we found that the undigested pColE3 DNA stains preferentially as ssDNA and that it coexists with dsDNA. We also identified ssDNA in pColE5 and pColE9 but not in pColE1. Colicin plasmids producing ssDNA may represent a new subclass of rolling-circle replication plasmids and add to the known similarities between colicins and filamentous phage.

Characterization of a cfr-Carrying Plasmid from Porcine Escherichia coli That Closely Resembles Plasmid pEA3 from the Plant Pathogen Erwinia amylovora.

Project description:The multiresistance gene cfr was found in two porcine Escherichia coli isolates, one harboring it on the conjugative 33,885-bp plasmid pFSEC-01, the other harboring it in the chromosomal DNA. Sequence analysis of pFSEC-01 revealed that a 6,769-bp fragment containing the cfr gene bracketed by two IS26 elements was inserted into a plasmid closely related to pEA3 from the plant pathogen Erwinia amylovora, suggesting that pFSEC-01 may be transferred between different bacterial genera of both animal and plant origin.
