Acetyl Coenzyme A Acetyltransferase of Rhizobium sp. (Cicer) Strain CC 1192.
To investigate why Rhizobium sp. (Cicer) strain CC 1192 cells accumulate poly-R-3-hydroxybutyrate in the free-living state but not as bacteroids in nodules on chickpea (Cicer arietinum L.) plants, we have examined the kinetic properties of acetyl coenzyme A (acetyl-CoA) acetyltransferase (also known as acetoacetyl-CoA thiolase and 3-ketothiolase [EC 2.3.1.9]) from both types of cells. The enzym...
متن کاملRoles of multiple acetoacetyl coenzyme A reductases in polyhydroxybutyrate biosynthesis in Ralstonia eutropha H16.
The bacterium Ralstonia eutropha H16 synthesizes polyhydroxybutyrate (PHB) from acetyl coenzyme A (acetyl-CoA) through reactions catalyzed by a β-ketothiolase (PhaA), an acetoacetyl-CoA reductase (PhaB), and a polyhydroxyalkanoate synthase (PhaC). An operon of three genes encoding these enzymatic steps was discovered in R. eutropha and has been well studied. Sequencing and analysis of the R. eu...
متن کاملIdentification and analysis of the polyhydroxyalkanoate-specific beta-ketothiolase and acetoacetyl coenzyme A reductase genes in the cyanobacterium Synechocystis sp. strain PCC6803.
Synechocystis sp. strain PCC6803 possesses a polyhydroxyalkanoate (PHA)-specific beta-ketothiolase encoded by phaA(Syn) and an acetoacetyl-coenzyme A (CoA) reductase encoded by phaB(Syn). A similarity search of the entire Synechocystis genome sequence identified a cluster of two putative open reading frames (ORFs) for these genes, slr1993 and slr1994. Sequence analysis showed that the ORFs enco...
متن کاملFunctional and evolutionary relatedness of genes for exopolysaccharide synthesis in Rhizobium meliloti and Rhizobium sp. strain NGR234.
Rhizobium meliloti SU47 and Rhizobium sp. strain NGR234 produce distinct exopolysaccharides that have some similarities in structure. R. meliloti has a narrow host range, whereas Rhizobium strain NGR234 has a very broad host range. In cross-species complementation and hybridization experiments, we found that several of the genes required for the production of the two polysaccharides were functi...
متن کاملRole of BacA in lipopolysaccharide synthesis, peptide transport, and nodulation by Rhizobium sp. strain NGR234.
BacA of Sinorhizobium meliloti plays an essential role in the establishment of nitrogen-fixing symbioses with Medicago plants, where it is involved in peptide import and in the addition of very-long-chain fatty acids (VLCFA) to lipid A of lipopolysaccharide (LPS). We investigated the role of BacA in Rhizobium species strain NGR234 by mutating the bacA gene. In the NGR234 bacA mutant, peptide im...
