Conservation of extended promoter regions of nodulation genes in Rhizobium.
A 47-base-pair (bp) conserved sequence in the 5'-flanking regions of three transcriptional units coding for nodulation functions (nodABC, nodEFG, and nodH) has been identified in Rhizobium meliloti strain 41. The conserved region contains subsequences of 7 bp, 5 bp, and 25 bp. The conserved 25-bp sequence was synthesized and used as a hybridization probe; three additional copies of the sequence...
متن کاملRhizobium meliloti Nodulation Genes: Identification of nodDABC
A set of conserved, or common, bacterial nodulation (nod) loci is required for host plant infection by Rhizobium melioti and other Rhizobium species. Four such genes, nodDABC, have beeii indicated in R. meliloti 021'by genetic analysis and DNA sequencing. An essential step toward Iunderstanding the function of these genes is to characterize their protein products. We used in vitro and maxicell ...
متن کاملExtended Region of Nodulation Genes in Rhizobium meliloti 1021. I. Phenotypes of Tn5 Insertion Mutants.
Rhizobium meliloti Nod(-) mutant WL131, a derivative of wild-type strain 102F51, was complemented by a clone bank of wild-type R. meliloti 1021 DNA, and clone pRmJT5 was recovered. Transfer of pRmJT5 conferred alfalfa nodulation on other Rhizobium species, indicating a role in host range determination for pRmJT5. Mutagenesis of pRmJT5 revealed several segments in which transposon insertion caus...
متن کاملConservation of nodulation genes between Rhizobium meliloti and a slow-growing Rhizobium strain that nodulates a nonlegume host.
Parasponia, a woody member of the elm family, is the only nonlegume genus whose members are known to form an effective nitrogen-fixing symbiosis with a Rhizobium species. The bacterial strain RP501 is a slow-growing strain of Rhizobium isolated from Parasponia nodules. Strain RP501 also nodulates the legumes siratro (Macroptilium atropurpureum) and cowpea (Vigna unguiculata). Using a cosmid clo...
متن کاملRhizobium leguminosarum genes involved in early stages of nodulation.
Nodulation genes from Rhizobium leguminosarum have been subcloned and transferred to a strain of R. phaseoli with its symbiotic plasmid deleted (and therefore its nodulation and nitrogen fixation genes). Normal infection and nodule development occurred when these strains were added to the roots of Pisum sativum (peas) and Vicia hirsuta. The pea nodules were examined by electron microscopy; bact...
