A cluster of five genes specifying the aerobactin iron uptake system of plasmid ColV-K30.
The genetic determinants for the aerobactin iron uptake system of plasmid ColV-K30, cloned as recombinant plasmid pABN1, were mapped by insertional inactivation using Tn1000 (gamma delta). Sites of insertion resulting in loss of aerobactin biosynthesis spanned ca. 5.5 kilobase pairs of cloned ColV-K30 DNA contiguous with a 2-kilobase-pair region in which transposon insertion resulted in loss of...
متن کاملRNA-DNA hybridization analysis of transcription of the plasmid ColV-K30 aerobactin gene cluster.
Plasmid pABN1 contains the genetic determinants for the aerobactin iron uptake system of plasmid ColV-K30. Transposon Tn1000 mutants of pABN1 defective in synthesis of a 50,000-dalton polypeptide were found neither to secrete nor to accumulate aerobactin, but were not impaired in iron transport functions, clearly indicating a role for this polypeptide in aerobactin biosynthesis. RNA-DNA hybridi...
متن کاملHigh-affinity iron uptake systems present in Erwinia carotovora subsp. carotovora include the hydroxamate siderophore aerobactin.
The phytopathogenic bacterium Erwinia carotovora subsp. carotovora W3C105 produced the hydroxamate siderophore aerobactin under iron-limiting conditions. A survey of 22 diverse strains of E. carotovora revealed that strain W3C105 alone produced aerobactin. The ferric-aerobactin receptor of strain W3C105 was an 80-kDa protein, identified by immunoblots of Sarkosyl-soluble proteins obtained from ...
متن کاملCloning of the aerobactin-mediated iron assimilation system of plasmid ColV.
The high-affinity iron assimilation system of plasmid ColV-K30 was cloned on the vector plasmid pPlac. Plasmid pABN1 was isolated by means of sensitivity to cloacin, a bacteriocin using the same outer membrane receptor as ferric aerobactin. Restriction maps were determined for this plasmid and for a subclone, pABN5. Plasmid pABN1 codes for the complete gene complex, whereas plasmid pABN5 encode...
متن کاملDivergence of the aerobactin iron uptake systems encoded by plasmids pColV-K30 in Escherichia coli K-12 and pSMN1 in Aerobacter aerogenes 62-1.
Although the aerobactin-mediated iron uptake system has been characterized genetically in Escherichia coli, the siderophore aerobactin was chemically characterized after purification from culture supernatants of Aerobacter aerogenes 62-1, a member of the Klebsielleae. We have cloned and mapped the genes encoding the aerobactin system genes of A. aerogenes 62-1 and begun characterization of the ...
