Sulfate and thiosulfate transport in Escherichia coli K-12: nucleotide sequence and expression of the cysTWAM gene cluster.

ABSTRACT: The nucleotide sequence of the sulfate and thiosulfate transport gene cluster has been determined and located 3' to the gene (cysP) encoding the thiosulfate-binding protein. Four open reading frames, designated cysT, cysW, cysA, and cysM, have been identified. Similarities in primary structure were observed between (i) the deduced amino acid sequences of CysT and CysW with membrane-bound components of other binding protein-dependent transport systems, (ii) that of the CysA sequence with the "conserved" component of such systems, and (iii) that of the CysM sequence with O-acetylserine sulfhydrylase A (cysK gene product) and the beta-subunit of tryptophan synthase (coded by trpB). Expression of the four genes was analyzed in the T7 promoter-polymerase system.

Revised nucleotide sequence of the gltP gene, which encodes the proton-glutamate-aspartate transport protein of Escherichia coli K-12.

Project description:The gene encoding the proton-glutamate carrier (GltP) of Escherichia coli K-12 was sequenced, and the primary structure of the protein was analyzed. The nucleotide sequence was found to differ in several aspects from the previously published sequence (B. Wallace, Y. Yang, J. Hong, and D. Lum, J. Bacteriol. 172:3214-3220, 1990). The corrected open reading frame encodes a protein of 437 (instead of 395) amino acids. Hydropathy analysis predicts 12 membrane-spanning alpha-helical regions. The complementary strand does contain an open reading frame possibly encoding a highly hydrophilic polypeptide of 272 amino acids.

Isolation, nucleotide sequence, and preliminary characterization of the Escherichia coli K-12 hemA gene.

Project description:The Escherichia coli hemA gene, essential for the synthesis of 5-aminolevulinic acid (ALA), was isolated and sequenced. The following criteria identified the cloned gene as hemA. (i) The gene complemented a hemA mutation of E. coli. (ii) The gene was localized to approximately 26.7 min on the E. coli chromosomal linkage map, consistent with the location of the mapped hemA locus. Furthermore, DNA sequence analysis established that the cloned gene lay directly upstream of prfA, which encodes polypeptide chain release factor 1. (iii) Deletion of the gene resulted in a concomitant requirement for ALA. The hemA gene directed the synthesis of a 46-kilodalton polypeptide in maxicell experiments, as predicted by the coding sequence. The DNA and deduced amino acid sequences of the E. coli hemA gene displayed no detectable similarity to the ALA synthase sequences which have been characterized from a variety of organisms, but are very similar to the cloned Salmonella typhimurium hemA sequences (T. Elliott, personal communication). Results of S1 nuclease protection experiments showed that the hemA mRNA appeared to have two different 5' ends and that a nonoverlapping divergent transcript was present upstream of the putative distal hemA transcriptional start site.

Chromosome position effects on gene expression in Escherichia coli K-12.

Project description:In eukaryotes, the location of a gene on the chromosome is known to affect its expression, but such position effects are poorly understood in bacteria. Here, using Escherichia coli K-12, we demonstrate that expression of a reporter gene cassette, comprised of the model E. coli lac promoter driving expression of gfp, varies by ∼300-fold depending on its precise position on the chromosome. At some positions, expression was more than 3-fold higher than at the natural lac promoter locus, whereas at several other locations, the reporter cassette was completely silenced: effectively overriding local lac promoter control. These effects were not due to differences in gene copy number, caused by partially replicated genomes. Rather, the differences in gene expression occur predominantly at the level of transcription and are mediated by several different features that are involved in chromosome organization. Taken together, our findings identify a tier of gene regulation above local promoter control and highlight the importance of chromosome position effects on gene expression profiles in bacteria.

Coding-sequence determinants of gene expression in Escherichia coli.

Project description:Synonymous mutations do not alter the encoded protein, but they can influence gene expression. To investigate how, we engineered a synthetic library of 154 genes that varied randomly at synonymous sites, but all encoded the same green fluorescent protein (GFP). When expressed in Escherichia coli, GFP protein levels varied 250-fold across the library. GFP messenger RNA (mRNA) levels, mRNA degradation patterns, and bacterial growth rates also varied, but codon bias did not correlate with gene expression. Rather, the stability of mRNA folding near the ribosomal binding site explained more than half the variation in protein levels. In our analysis, mRNA folding and associated rates of translation initiation play a predominant role in shaping expression levels of individual genes, whereas codon bias influences global translation efficiency and cellular fitness.

Cloning, nucleotide sequence, and expression of the Escherichia coli gene encoding carnitine dehydratase.

Project description:Carnitine dehydratase from Escherichia coli O44 K74 is an inducible enzyme detectable in cells grown anaerobically in the presence of L-(-)-carnitine or crotonobetaine. The purified enzyme catalyzes the dehydration of L-(-)-carnitine to crotonobetaine (H. Jung, K. Jung, and H.-P. Kleber, Biochim. Biophys. Acta 1003:270-276, 1989). The caiB gene, encoding carnitine dehydratase, was isolated by oligonucleotide screening from a genomic library of E. coli O44 K74. The caiB gene is 1,215 bp long, and it encodes a protein of 405 amino acids with a predicted M(r) of 45,074. The identity of the gene product was first assessed by its comigration in sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gels with the purified enzyme after overexpression in the pT7 system and by its enzymatic activity. Moreover, the N-terminal amino acid sequence of the purified protein was found to be identical to that predicted from the gene sequence. Northern (RNA) analysis showed that caiB is likely to be cotranscribed with at least one other gene. This other gene could be the gene encoding a 47-kDa protein, which was overexpressed upstream of caiB.

Molecular cloning, nucleotide sequence, and expression in Escherichia coli of a hemolytic toxin (aerolysin) gene from Aeromonas trota.

Project description:Aeromonas trota AK2, which was derived from ATCC 49659 and produces the extracellular pore-forming hemolytic toxin aerolysin, was mutagenized with the transposon mini-Tn5Km1 to generate a hemolysin-deficient mutant, designated strain AK253. Southern blotting data indicated that an 8.7-kb NotI fragment of the genomic DNA of strain AK253 contained the kanamycin resistance gene of mini-Tn5Km1. The 8.7-kb NotI DNA fragment was cloned into the vector pGEM5Zf(-) by selecting for kanamycin resistance, and the resultant clone, pAK71, showed aerolysin activity in Escherichia coli JM109. The nucleotide sequence of the aerA gene, located on the 1.8-kb ApaI-EcoRI fragment, was determined to consist of 1,479 bp and to have an ATG initiation codon and a TAA termination codon. An in vitro coupled transcription-translation analysis of the 1.8-kb region suggested that the aerA gene codes for a 54-kDa protein, in agreement with nucleotide sequence data. The deduced amino acid sequence of the aerA gene product of A. trota exhibited 99% homology with the amino acid sequence of the aerA product of Aeromonas sobria AB3 and 57% homology with the amino acid sequences of the products of the aerA genes of Aeromonas salmonicida 17-2 and A. sobria 33.

Sulfate and thiosulfate transport in Escherichia coli K-12: identification of a gene encoding a novel protein involved in thiosulfate binding.

Project description:The sequence of 1,973 nucleotides encompassing the region at and directly adjacent to the CysB-dependent promoter controlling expression and synthesis of the sulfate-thiosulfate transport system of Escherichia coli has been determined. The transcription start site has been mapped by primer extension. One open reading frame representing the first gene of the presumed sulfate transport operon was identified and designated cysP. The deduced amino acid sequence of the CysP polypeptide indicates the presence of a signal peptide. Expression of the cysP gene in the T7 promoter-polymerase system revealed the location of the gene product in the periplasm. Construction of a cysP insertional mutant and assays of binding and uptake of sulfate and thiosulfate by this mutant allowed the identification of the cysP gene product as a thiosulfate-binding protein. The TGA termination codon of cysP was found to overlap the putative ATG initiation codon of the next open reading frame, inferred as being essential for the sulfate transport system, and it was designated cysT. Preliminary sequence data from the corresponding region of the Salmonella typhimurium chromosome showed strictly homologous counterparts of the E. coli cysP and cysT genes.

Nucleotide sequence of the glpD gene encoding aerobic sn-glycerol 3-phosphate dehydrogenase of Escherichia coli K-12.

Project description:Aerobic sn-glycerol 3-phosphate dehydrogenase, encoded by the glpD gene of Escherichia coli, is a cytoplasmic membrane-associated respiratory enzyme. The nucleotide sequence of glpD was determined. An open reading frame of 501 codons was preceded by a consensus Shine-Dalgarno sequence. The proposed translational start and reading frame of glpD were confirmed by determining the nucleotide sequence across the fusion joint of a glpD-lacZ translational fusion. The predicted molecular weight, 56,750, corresponds well with the reported value of 58,000 for purified sn-glycerol 3-phosphate dehydrogenase. The flavin-binding domain, located at the amino terminus, was identified by comparison with the amino acid sequences of other flavoproteins from E. coli. Repetitive extragenic palindromic sequences were identified downstream of the glpD coding region. The site for transcription termination was located between 87 and 216 bp downstream of the translation stop codon.

Molecular organization and nucleotide sequence of the recG locus of Escherichia coli K-12.

Project description:The nucleotide sequence of the Escherichia coli K-12 recG gene was determined. recG was identified as an open reading frame located between the spoT operon and the convergent gltS gene. It encodes a polypeptide of 693 amino acids which was identified as a 76-kDa protein by sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis after it was labeled with [35S]methionine in maxicells. The sequence determined revealed no obvious promoter. Synthesis of RecG by plasmids carrying the intact gene varied with the orientation of the insert relative to the vector promoter and with the extent of upstream spoT operon sequence included in the construction. It is concluded that recG is the fourth and last gene in the spoT operon, although a possible promoter for independent transcription of spoU and recG was identified near the end of the spoT gene. The primary sequence of RecG revealed that it is related to proteins that act as helicases and has a well-conserved motif identified with ATP binding.
