Agrobacterium tumefaciens ExoR represses succinoglycan biosynthesis and is required for biofilm formation and motility
The ubiquitous plant pathogen Agrobacterium tumefaciens attaches efficiently to plant tissues and abiotic surfaces and can form complex biofilms. A genetic screen for mutants unable to form biofilms on PVC identified disruptions in a homologue of the exoR gene. ExoR is a predicted periplasmic protein, originally identified in Sinorhizobium meliloti, but widely conserved among alphaproteobacteri...
متن کاملMotility and chemotaxis in Agrobacterium tumefaciens surface attachment and biofilm formation.
Bacterial motility mechanisms, including swimming, swarming, and twitching, are known to have important roles in biofilm formation, including colonization and the subsequent expansion into mature structured surface communities. Directed motility requires chemotaxis functions that are conserved among many bacterial species. The biofilm-forming plant pathogen Agrobacterium tumefaciens drives swim...
متن کاملAgrobacterium tumefaciens VirB8 structure reveals potential protein-protein interaction sites.
Bacterial type IV secretion systems (T4SS) translocate DNA and/or proteins to recipient cells, thus providing a mechanism for conjugative transfer of genetic material and bacterial pathogenesis. Here we describe the first structure of a core component from the archetypal Agrobacterium tumefaciens T4SS: the 2.2-A resolution crystal structure of the VirB8 periplasmic domain (pVirB8(AT)). VirB8 fo...
متن کاملVirB2 is a processed pilin-like protein encoded by the Agrobacterium tumefaciens Ti plasmid.
The mechanism of DNA transmission between distinct organisms has remained a subject of long-standing interest. Agrobacterium tumefaciens mediates the transfer of plant oncogenes in the form of a 25-kb T-DNA sector of a resident Ti plasmid. A growing body of evidence leading to the elucidation of the mechanism involved in T-DNA transfer comes from studies on the vir genes contained in six major ...
متن کاملPhosphorus limitation enhances biofilm formation of the plant pathogen Agrobacterium tumefaciens through the PhoR-PhoB regulatory system.
The plant pathogen Agrobacterium tumefaciens forms architecturally complex biofilms on inert surfaces. Adherence of A. tumefaciens C58 was significantly enhanced under phosphate limitation compared to phosphate-replete conditions, despite slower overall growth under low-phosphate conditions. Replacement of Pi with sn-glycerol-3-phosphate and 2-aminoethylphosphonate yielded similar results. The ...
