Plasmid-mediated transformation tropism of chlamydial biovars.
Chlamydia trachomatis and C. muridarum are human and mouse pathogens, respectively, which show high conservation of gene order and content. Both species contain a common 7.5-kb plasmid that is an important virulence factor. Recently described transformation systems have been used to characterize C. trachomatis L2 plasmid gene functions; however, similar studies have not been reported for C. tra...
متن کاملPlasmid Negative Regulation of CPAF Expression Is Pgp4 Independent and Restricted to Invasive Chlamydia trachomatis Biovars
Chlamydia trachomatis is an obligate intracellular bacterial pathogen that causes blinding trachoma and sexually transmitted disease. C. trachomatis isolates are classified into 2 biovars-lymphogranuloma venereum (LGV) and trachoma-which are distinguished biologically by their natural host cell infection tropism. LGV biovars infect macrophages and are invasive, whereas trachoma biovars infect o...
متن کاملAgrobacterium Mediated Transformation of Maize (Zea mays L.)
Agrobacterium tumefaciens mediated transformation may offer a better alternative than the biolistic gun for genetic transformation of maize plants. This gene delivery system results in a greater proportion of stable, low-copy number transgenic events than does the biolistic gun, and is highly efficient. In the present work, we studied maize transformation using A. tumefaciens by identifying som...
متن کاملHigh-Efficiency Agrobacterium-Mediated Transformation of Tobacco (Nicotiana tabacum)
To improve Agrobacterium-mediated transformation of tobacco, factors influencing gene delivery, including genotype of the plant, bacterial strain, and Agrobacterium transformation procedure, were tested via direct somatic embryogenesis. Leaf tissue of three different tobacco genotypes (Nicotiana tabacum L. cvs. Samsun, and Xanthi, and N. benthamiana) we...
متن کاملA gene for dnaB like protein in chlamydial plasmid.
The dnaB gene of Escherichia coli codes for a protein essential in the initiation and elongation of DNA replication. Chlamydia trachomatis, an obligate intracellular parasite which causes ocular and genital infections in man, has a 7.5kb plasmid (pCTTl). Examination of the complete nucleotide sequence (1) revealed nine open reading frames. The derived amino acid sequence of one of the ORFs (0RF...
