Gene Probe Designing for Evaluation of the Diversity of Bradyrhizobium japonicum Isolates
Many researchers consider the use of different probes for hybridization assays as suitable for studying the genetic diversity of nitrogen fixing bacteria. In this study for asessing genetic diversity among Bradyrhizobium japonicum isolates, two different probes (sucA and topA) chosen from the chromosomal genome of Bradyrhizobium strain USDA 110 were designed, evaluated by DNAMAN software and im...
متن کاملThe Bradyrhizobium japonicum nolA gene encodes three functionally distinct proteins.
Examination of nolA revealed that NolA can be uniquely translated from three ATG start codons. Translation from the first ATG (ATG1) predicts a protein (NolA1) having an N-terminal, helix-turn-helix DNA-binding motif similar to the DNA-binding domains of the MerR-type regulatory proteins. Translation from ATG2 and ATG3 would give the N-terminally truncated proteins NolA2 and NolA3, respectively...
متن کاملThe Bradyrhizobium japonicum frcB gene encodes a diheme ferric reductase.
Iron utilization by bacteria in aerobic environments involves uptake as a ferric chelate from the environment, followed by reduction to the ferrous form. Ferric iron reduction is poorly understood in most bacterial species. Here, we identified Bradyrhizobium japonicum frcB (bll3557) as a gene adjacent to, and coregulated with, the pyoR gene (blr3555) encoding the outer membrane receptor for tra...
متن کاملIdentification of a functional fur gene in Bradyrhizobium japonicum.
The recent identification of the iron response regulator (Irr) in Bradyrhizobium japonicum raised the question of whether the global regulator Fur is present in that organism. A fur gene homolog was isolated by the functional complementation of an Escherichia coli fur mutant. The B. japonicum Fur bound to a Fur box DNA element in vitro, and a fur mutant grown in iron-replete medium was derepres...
متن کاملIsolation of a cytochrome aa(3) gene from Bradyrhizobium japonicum.
Bradyhizobium japonicum strain LO501 is a Tn5-induced mutant that does not express the terminal oxidase cytochrome aa(3) (cytochrome-c oxidase, EC 1.9.3.1). Two and one-half kilobase pairs of LO501 genomic DNA that flanks the transposon was isolated and used as a hybridization probe to obtain the wild-type gene from a cosmid library. Two subcloned fragments from two of the isolated cosmids were...
