A cysG mutant strain of Rhizobium etli pleiotropically defective in sulfate and nitrate assimilation.
By its inability to grow on sulfate as the sole sulfur source, a mutant strain (CTNUX8) of Rhizobium etli carrying Tn5 was isolated and characterized. Sequence analysis showed that Tn5 is inserted into a cysG (siroheme synthetase)-homologous gene. By RNase protection assays, it was established that the cysG-like gene had a basal level of expression in thiosulfate- or cysteine-grown cells, which...
متن کاملNitrate Reductase from a Mutant Strain of Chlamydomonas reinhardii Incapable of Nitrate Assimilation
Nitrate reductase from mutant 305 o f Chlamydomonas reinhardii has been purified about 90-fold and biochemically characterized. The enzyme can use reduced flavins and viologens as electron donors to reduce nitrate but, unlike the nitrate reductase com plex from its parental wild strain, lacks NAD(P)H-nitrate reductase and NAD(P)H-cytochrom e c reductase activities, does not bind to Blue-Agarose...
متن کاملRhizobium etli asparaginase II
Bacterial L-asparaginase has been a universal component of therapies for childhood acute lymphoblastic leukemia since the 1970s. Two principal enzymes derived from Escherichia coli and Erwinia chrysanthemi are the only options clinically approved to date. We recently reported a study of recombinant L-asparaginase (AnsA) from Rhizobium etli and described an increasing type of AnsA family members...
متن کاملFermentative and aerobic metabolism in Rhizobium etli.
Strains of Rhizobium etli, Rhizobium meliloti, and Rhizobium tropici decreased their capacity to grow after successive subcultures in minimal medium, with a pattern characteristic for each species. During the growth of R. etli CE 3 in minimal medium (MM), a fermentation-like response was apparent: the O2 content was reduced and, simultaneously, organic acids and amino acids were excreted and po...
متن کاملMultiresistance genes of Rhizobium etli CFN42.
Multidrug efflux pumps of bacteria are involved in the resistance to various antibiotics and toxic compounds. In Rhizobium etli, a mutualistic symbiont of Phaseolus vulgaris (bean), genes resembling multidrug efflux pump genes were identified and designated rmrA and rmrB. rmrA was obtained after the screening of transposon-generated fusions that are inducible by bean-root released flavonoids. T...
