Poly $ = hydroxybutyrate ( PHB ) biosynthetic genes in Rhizobium meliloti 41
2 Dipartimento di Biotecnologie Agrarie, Universita di Padova, Via Gradenigo 6, 35131 Padova, Italy Genes encoding fiketothiolase (phaA), acetoacetyl-CoA reductase (phaB) and PHB-synthase (phaC) from R. meliloti 41, together with a fourth gene, referred to as ORF1, presumed to be involved in PHB biosynthesis, have been cloned and sequenced. phaA, phaB and ORFl were identified by heterologous hy...
متن کاملRoles of poly-3-hydroxybutyrate (PHB) and glycogen in symbiosis of Sinorhizobium meliloti with Medicago sp.
Poly-3-hydroxybutyrate (PHB) and glycogen are major carbon storage compounds in Sinorhizobium meliloti. The roles of PHB and glycogen in rhizobia-legume symbiosis are not fully understood. Glycogen synthase mutations were constructed by in-frame deletion (glgA1) or insertion (glgA2). These mutations were combined with a phbC mutation to make all combinations of double and triple mutants. PHB wa...
متن کاملPoly-3-hydroxybutyrate degradation in Rhizobium (Sinorhizobium) meliloti: isolation and characterization of a gene encoding 3-hydroxybutyrate dehydrogenase.
We have cloned and sequenced the 3-hydroxybutyrate dehydrogenase-encoding gene (bdhA) from Rhizobium (Sinorhizobium) meliloti. The gene has an open reading frame of 777 bp that encodes a polypeptide of 258 amino acid residues (molecular weight 27,177, pI 6.07). The R. meliloti Bdh protein exhibits features common to members of the short-chain alcohol dehydrogenase superfamily. bdhA is the first...
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 کاملInfluence of the poly-3-hydroxybutyrate (PHB) granule-associated proteins (PhaP1 and PhaP2) on PHB accumulation and symbiotic nitrogen fixation in Sinorhizobium meliloti Rm1021.
Sinorhizobium meliloti cells store excess carbon as intracellular poly-3-hydroxybutyrate (PHB) granules that assist survival under fluctuating nutritional conditions. PHB granule-associated proteins (phasins) are proposed to regulate PHB synthesis and granule formation. Although the enzymology and genetics of PHB metabolism in S. meliloti have been well characterized, phasins have not yet been ...
