Prokaryote-eukaryote relationship and the amino acid sequence of plastocyanin from Anabaena variabilis.

ABSTRACT: The amino acid sequence of plastocyanin from the prokaryotic blue-green alga Anabaena variabilis was determined. The protein consists of a single polypeptide chain of 105 residues. The amino acid sequence of the plastocyanin was compared with that of the eukaryotic green alga Chlorella fusca and with those of higher-plant plastocyanins. The considerable similarity between the prokaryotic and eukaryotic plastocyanins is discussed. Detailed evidence for the sequence of the protein has been deposited as Supplementary Publication SUP 50051 (13 pages) at the British Library (Lending Division), Boston Spa, Wetherby, W. Yorkshire LS23 7BQ, U.K., from whom copies may be obtained on the terms given in Biochem J. (1975) 145, 5.

The amino acid sequence of plastocyanin from Chlorella fusca.

Project description:The amino acid sequence of the plastocyanin from the green alga Chlorella fusca was determined. The protein consists of a single polypeptide chain of 98 residues, and was determined by characterization of chymotryptic and thermolysin peptides. The amino acid sequence shows considerable similarity to that of higher plant plastocyanins. The protein contains a single cysteine, and the sequence in the vicinity of this residue is similar to that around the cysteine residue of bacterial azurins. The plastocyanin contains some uncharacterized carbohydrate. Detailed evidence for the sequence of the protein has been deposited as Supplementary Publication SUP 50 036 (17pp., 1 microfiche) at the British Library (Lending Division) (formerly the National Lending Library for Science and Technology), Boston Spa, Yorks. LS23 7BQ, U.K., from whom copies may be obtained on the terms given in Biochem. J. (1973) 131, 5.

The amino acid sequence of plastocyanin from spinach. (Spinacia oleracea L.).

Project description:The amino acid sequence of spinach (Spinacia oleracea L.) plastocyanin was determined. It consists of a single polypeptide chain of 99 residues and has a sequence molecular weight of 10415. The sequence was determined by using a Beckman 890C automatic sequencer and by the dansyl--phenyl isothiocyanate analysis of peptides obtained by the enzymic digestion of purified CNBr fragments. Overlap through the two methionine residues was not shown. Sedimentation equilibrium in the ultracentrifuge gave a molecular weight for spinach plastocyanin of about 9000, in contrast with the value of 21000 reported previously by Katoh et al. (1962).

The amino acid sequence of plastocyanin from French bean (Phaseolus vulgaris).

Project description:The amino acid sequence of the plastocyanin from French bean (Phaseolus vulgaris) was determined. The protein consists of a single polypeptide chain of 99 residues, and the sequence was determined by characterization of CNBr, tryptic, chymotryptic and thermolysin peptides. When the sequence is compared with that from the plastocyanin of the unicellular green alga Chlorella fusca, the French-bean protein shows the deletion of the N-terminal residue, a two residue insertion and 53 identical residues. Detailed evidence for the sequence of the protein has been deposited as Supplementary Publication SUP 50037 (16pp., 1 microfiche) at the British Library (Lending Division) (formerly the National Lending Library for Science and Technology), Boston Spa, Yorks.

Isolation and characterization of two sequence-specific endonucleases from Anabaena variabilis.

Project description:Two endonucleases, AvaI and AvaII, were isolated from Anabaena variabilis on the basis of their ability to make a limited number of breaks at specific points in bacteriophage lambda DNA. Neither enzyme has cofactor requirements beyond Mg2+. Endonuclease AvaI makes eight breaks in the phage lambda chromosome at which the 5'-terminal sequence is pPy-C-G-N. AvaII endonuclease cuts phage lambda DNA more extensively, yielding fragments with the 5'-terminal sequence G-T-C-N or G-A-C-N. Neither enzyme generates cohesive ends.

Prokaryote-eukaryote interactions identified by using Caenorhabditis elegans.

Project description:Prokaryote-eukaryote interactions are ubiquitous and have important medical and environmental significance. Despite this, a paucity of data exists on the mechanisms and pathogenic consequences of bacterial-fungal encounters within a living host. We used the nematode Caenorhabditis elegans as a substitute host to study the interactions between two ecologically related and clinically troublesome pathogens, the prokaryote, Acinetobacter baumannii, and the eukaryote, Candida albicans. After co-infecting C. elegans with these organisms, we observed that A. baumannii inhibits filamentation, a key virulence determinant of C. albicans. This antagonistic, cross-kingdom interaction led to attenuated virulence of C. albicans, as determined by improved nematode survival when infected with both pathogens. In vitro coinfection assays in planktonic and biofilm environments supported the inhibitory effects of A. baumannii toward C. albicans, further showing a predilection of A. baumannii for C. albicans filaments. Interestingly, we demonstrate a likely evolutionary defense by C. albicans against A. baumannii, whereby C. albicans inhibits A. baumannii growth once a quorum develops. This counteroffensive is at least partly mediated by the C. albicans quorum-sensing molecule farnesol. We used the C. elegans-A. baumannii-C. albicans coinfection model to screen an A. baumannii mutant library, leading to the identification of several mutants attenuated in their inhibitory activity toward C. albicans. These findings present an extension to the current paradigm of studying monomicrobial pathogenesis in C. elegans and by use of genetic manipulation, provides a whole-animal model system to investigate the complex dynamics of a polymicrobial infection.

The amino acid sequence of plastocyanin from Vicia faba L. (broad bean).

Project description:The amino acid sequence of plastocyanin from broad bean was determined. It consists of a single polypeptide chain of 99 residues. The sequence was determined by using a Beckman 890C sequencer and by dansyl-phenyl isothiocyanate analysis of peptides obtained by the enzymic cleavage of purified cyanogen bromide fragments. Some parts of the sequence depend on the results of Edman degradation of peptides for which amino acid analyses were not obtained. The evidence for one overlap is not strong.

The amino acid sequence of plastocyanin from Cucurbita pepo L. (vegetable marrow).

Project description:The amino acid sequence of plastocyanin from marrow was determined. It consists of a single polypeptide chain of mol.wt. 10284 containing 99 amino acid residues. The sequence was determined by using a Beckman 890C automatic sequencer and by dansyl-phenyl isothiocyanate analysis of peptides obtained by the enzymic digestion of purified CNBr fragments. The sequence is in good agreement with the amino acid composition, except that fewer residues of glutamic acid were found in the sequence than were suggested by the composition. Evidence for histidine-37 was weaker than for the rest of the sequence. A ;tree' of phylogenetic affinities was constructed by using several higher-plant plastocyanin sequences.

Isolation of an archaeon at the prokaryote-eukaryote interface.

Project description:The origin of eukaryotes remains unclear1-4. Current data suggest that eukaryotes may have emerged from an archaeal lineage known as 'Asgard' archaea5,6. Despite the eukaryote-like genomic features that are found in these archaea, the evolutionary transition from archaea to eukaryotes remains unclear, owing to the lack of cultured representatives and corresponding physiological insights. Here we report the decade-long isolation of an Asgard archaeon related to Lokiarchaeota from deep marine sediment. The archaeon-'Candidatus Prometheoarchaeum syntrophicum' strain MK-D1-is an anaerobic, extremely slow-growing, small coccus (around 550 nm in diameter) that degrades amino acids through syntrophy. Although eukaryote-like intracellular complexes have been proposed for Asgard archaea6, the isolate has no visible organelle-like structure. Instead, Ca. P. syntrophicum is morphologically complex and has unique protrusions that are long and often branching. On the basis of the available data obtained from cultivation and genomics, and reasoned interpretations of the existing literature, we propose a hypothetical model for eukaryogenesis, termed the entangle-engulf-endogenize (also known as E3) model.

Membranes, energetics, and evolution across the prokaryote-eukaryote divide.

Project description:The evolution of the eukaryotic cell marked a profound moment in Earth's history, with most of the visible biota coming to rely on intracellular membrane-bound organelles. It has been suggested that this evolutionary transition was critically dependent on the movement of ATP synthesis from the cell surface to mitochondrial membranes and the resultant boost to the energetic capacity of eukaryotic cells. However, contrary to this hypothesis, numerous lines of evidence suggest that eukaryotes are no more bioenergetically efficient than prokaryotes. Thus, although the origin of the mitochondrion was a key event in evolutionary history, there is no reason to think membrane bioenergetics played a direct, causal role in the transition from prokaryotes to eukaryotes and the subsequent explosive diversification of cellular and organismal complexity.
