Project description:With a view to re-annotate the genome sequence of the nitrogen fixing bacterium Sinorhizobium meliloti, we generated oriented sequences of transcripts. To cover a large number of expressed genes we prepared RNA from bacteria grown in three very different physiological conditions including bacteria grown in liquid cultures (in both exponential and stationary growth phases) and from 10-day-old nodules in which bacteria were differentiated in nitrogen fixing bacteroids. The transcripts sequences were then integrated into EuGene-P, a new prokaryotic genome annotation tool able to integrate high throughput data including oriented RNA-Seq data directly into the prediction process, which led to the production of an accurate and complete annotation of the genome of S. meliloti strain 2011.

Project description:Genome Variation in the Symbiotic Nitrogen-Fixing Bacterium Sinorhizobium meliloti
| PRJNA117055 | ENA
Project description:The bacterium, Sinorhizobium meliloti, interacts symbiotically with leguminous plants such as Medicago truncatula to form nitrogen-fixing root nodules. During symbiosis, plant and bacterial cells differentiate in a coordinated manner, resulting in specialized plant cells that contain nitrogen-fixing bacteroids. Medicago nodules are organized in structurally distinct tissue zones, representing different stages of bacterial and plant differentiation. We used laser-capture microdissection (LCM) to analyze bacterial and plant gene expression in four root nodule regions. In parallel, we analyzed gene expression in nodules formed by wild type bacteria on six plant mutants with nitrogen fixation deficiencies (dnf). We found that bacteroid metabolism is drastically remodeled during bacteroid differentiation. Many processes required for bacterial growth are down-regulated in the nitrogen fixation zone. The overall transcriptional changes are similar to those occurring during nutrient limitation by the stringent response. We also observed differential expression of bacterial genes involved in nitrogen fixation, cell envelope homeostasis, cell division, stress response and polyamine biosynthesis at distinct stages of nodule development. In M. truncatula we observed the differential regulation of several host processes that may trigger bacteroid differentiation and control bacterial infection. We analyzed plant and bacterial gene expression simultaneously, which allowed us to correlate processes in both organisms.

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 fertilizer 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 the 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.

Project description:Investigation of whole genome gene expression level changes in a Sinorhizobium meliloti 1021 rpoH1 rpoH2 double mutant, compared to the wild-type strain. The mutations engineered into this strain render it deficient in symbiotic nitrogen fixation. The mutants analyzed in this study are further described in Mitsui, H, T. Sato, Y. Sato, and K. Minamisawa. 2004. Sinorhizobium meliloti RpoH1 is required for effective nitrogen-fixing symbiosis with alfalfa. Mol Gen Genomics 271:416-425.

Project description:The Alphaproteobacterium Sinorhizobium meliloti lives in soil and is capable of fixing molecular nitrogen in symbiosis with legume plants. In this work, the small proteome of S. meliloti strain 2011 was studied to uncover translation of both annotated and novel small open reading frame (sORF)-encoded proteins (SEPs).

Project description:The number of solute-binding protein-dependent transporters in rhizobia is dramatically increased compared with the majority of other bacteria so far sequenced. This increase may be due to the high affinity of solute-binding proteins for solutes, permitting the acquisition of a broad range of growth-limiting nutrients from soil and the rhizosphere. The transcriptional induction of these transporters was studied by creating a suite of plasmid and integrated fusions to nearly all ATP-binding cassette (ABC) and tripartite ATP-independent periplasmic (TRAP) transporters of Sinorhizobium meliloti. In total, specific inducers were identified for 76 transport systems, amounting to approximately 47% of the ABC uptake systems and 53% of the TRAP transporters in S. meliloti. Of these transport systems, 64 are previously uncharacterized in Rhizobia and 24 were induced by solutes not known to be transported by ABC- or TRAP-uptake systems in any organism. This study provides a global expression map of one of the largest transporter families (transportome) and an invaluable tool to both understand their solute specificity and the relationships between members of large paralogous families.
