Identification of chromosomally integrated TOL DNA in cured derivatives of Pseudomonas putida PAW1.

چکیده
Some plasmid-free Tol- strains derived from Pseudomonas putida PAW1 (which carries the TOL plasmid pWW0) have a segment of TOL DNA located chromosomally. Of three independently isolated strains, PAW86 had an integrated TOL segment of 16 kilobases and PAW85 had two copies of this segment in different chromosomal locations, whereas the chromosomal DNA of PAW82 showed no homology with the TOL plasmid. In cultures of the parental strain, it appears that a 56-kilobase TOL DNA segment is located chromosomally in some cells.

Expression of degradative genes of Pseudomonas putida in Caulobacter crescentus.
The recombinant plasmid RP4-TOL was transferred into Caulobacter crescentus at a high frequency, and the plasmid was maintained for at least 50 generations. C. crescentus cells which contained RP4-TOL grew on all the aromatic compounds that the plasmid normally allowed Pseudomonas putida to grow on. Reciprocal transfers from C. crescentus donor to P. putida or Escherichia coli recipients were l...
متن کاملThe TOL plasmid pWW0 xylN gene product from Pseudomonas putida is involved in m-xylene uptake.
The upper operon of the TOL plasmid pWW0 of Pseudomonas putida encodes a set of enzymes involved in the conversion of toluene and xylenes to their carboxylic acid derivatives. The last gene of the upper operon, xylN, encodes a 465-amino-acid polypeptide which exhibits significant sequence similarity to FadL, an outer membrane protein involved in fatty acid transport in Escherichia coli. To anal...
متن کاملDual labeling of Pseudomonas putida with fluorescent proteins for in situ monitoring of conjugal transfer of the TOL plasmid.
We describe here a dual-labeling technique involving the green fluorescent protein (GFP) and the red fluorescent protein (DsRed) for in situ monitoring of horizontal gene transfer via conjugation. A GFPmut3b-tagged derivative of narrow-host-range TOL plasmid (pWWO) was delivered to Pseudomonas putida KT2442, which was chromosomally labeled with dsRed by transposon insertion via biparental matin...
متن کاملIdentification of Pseudomonas alcaligenes chromosomal DNA in the plasmid DNA of the chlorobenzene-degrading recombinant Pseudomonas putida strain CB1-9.
The recombinant Pseudomonas putida strain CB1-9, which acquired the ability to grow on chlorobenzenes, contains a 33-kilobase (kb) plasmid (pKFL3) which lacked homology to an indigenous 15-kb plasmid (pKFL1) in Pseudomonas alcaligenes C-0 parent but was homologous to a 55-kb plasmid (pKFL2) from the P. putida R5-3 parent. Chromosomal DNA of P. alcaligenes C-0 hybridized to probes prepared from ...
متن کاملThe pWW0 plasmid imposes a stochastic expression regime to the chromosomal ortho pathway for benzoate metabolism in Pseudomonas putida.
Environmental plasmids often expand the metabolic repertoire of bacteria that carry them, but they also interfere with the biochemical and genetic network of the host. The pWW0 plasmid born by Pseudomonas putida mt-2 encodes the TOL pathway for degradation of toluene/m-xylene through production of intermediate compounds benzoate/3-methylbenzoate. These can be also recognized as substrates by th...
