Project description:Iron is limiting in the environment, bacteria respond to this deprivation by activating genes required for bacterial iron homeostasis. Transcriptional regulation in response to iron in Gram-negative bacteria is largely mediated by the ferric uptake regulator protein Fur, which in the presence of iron binds to a specific sequence in the promoter regions of genes under its control and acts as a repressor. Here we describe comparative global gene expression analysis using DNA microarray based on the whole genome sequence of the magnetotactic bacterium Magnetospirillum magneticum AMB-1 was conducted between wild type strain and a non-magnetic NMA61 mutant strain, generated by mini-Tn5 transposon mutagenesis which is incapable of assimilating iron to cytoplasm. No induction of the fur genes in NMA61 mutant strain was considered to be due to low intracellular iron concentration. In the iron-replete condition, among 4492 genes, 434 genes were down-regulated and 527 genes were up-regulated in the wild type strain. Among 434 genes down-regulated, 299 genes were not down-regulated in NMA61 mutant strain, indicating these genes are candidates of Fur-regulated. Keywords: Iron, magnetotactic bacteria

Project description:To navigate along the earth's magnetic field, magnetotactic bacteria (MTB) biomineralize iron in unique organelles, the magnetosomes, which are highly ordered, membrane-enclosed, nano-sized crystals of magnetite or greigite1. Magnetosome biogenesis was recently found to be controlled by a large set of genes clustered within a genomic magnetosome island. The unprecedented structural and magnetic properties of magnetosomes and the difficulties to cultivate and manipulate the fastidious bacteria have stimulated ideas to express the underlying biosynthesis pathway in more amenable hosts. However, this has remained an unsolved challenge, owing to the structural complexity of the magnetosome organelle, the insufficient knowledge of involved gene functions, and the challenge to balance expression of numerous proteins. Here we show that the entire gene set required for magnetosome biogenesis can be functionally expressed in the model organism Rhodospirillum rubrum, thereby converting it into a synthetic magnetotactic and phototrophic bacterium. Modular transfer of various cassettes comprising the 30 mam and mms genes that were stitched together by recombinogenic cloning was required and sufficient for biogenesis of magnetosome chains in R. rubrum. However, further auxiliary functions encoded outside these clusters were necessary for biosynthesis of fully developed magnetosomes. Our results for the first time demonstrate that the synthesis of one of the most complex prokaryotic structures can be fully reconstituted within a foreign, hitherto nonmagnetic host. We provide first experimental evidence that the magnetotactic trait can be transmitted horizontally to different species by single or few events of transfer. Conceivably, our findings may enable future synthetic biology approaches for the endogenous production of tailored magnetic nanoparticles within both prokaryotic and eukaryotic organisms, which will be useful for various biotechnological and biomedical applications.
