Identification of an insertion sequence in the chromosome of Pseudomonas aeruginosa PAO.
نویسندگان
چکیده
An insertion sequence, IS22, in Pseudomonas aeruginosa PAO was identified by its genetic properties. It occurred as a single copy in the chromosome, as shown by Southern hybridization. A restriction map of it was constructed.

Mapping of the ben, ant and cat genes of Pseudomonas aeruginosa and evolutionary relationship of the ben region of P. aeruginosa and P. putida.
Genes responsible for the utilization of benzoate, anthranilate or catechol (ben, ant, cat) of Pseudomonas aeruginosa PAO were mapped precisely using a cosmid clone carrying all these genes. Genes were localized either by subcloning and complementation or by Tn5 mutagenesis and mapping of the Tn5 insertions. To achieve this, a novel Tn5 mutagenesis procedure was developed by constructing a Tn5 ...
متن کاملSequence analysis of the mobile genome island pKLC102 of Pseudomonas aeruginosa C.
The Pseudomonas aeruginosa plasmid pKLC102 coexists as a plasmid and a genome island in clone C strains. Whereas the related plasmid pKLK106 reversibly recombines with P. aeruginosa clone K chromosomes at one of the two tRNA(Lys) genes, pKLC102 is incorporated into the tRNA(Lys) gene only close to the pilA locus. Targeting of the other tRNA(Lys) copy in the chromosome is blocked by a 23,395-bp ...
متن کاملSecreted LasA of Pseudomonas aeruginosa is a staphylolytic protease.
Full expression of the elastolytic phenotype of Pseudomonas aeruginosa depends on LasA, an extracellular protease with restricted specificity whose mode of action on elastin and biological role is not understood. LasA exhibits amino acid sequence homology to some bacteriolytic proteases and shares several physicochemical properties with the staphylolytic protease of P. aeruginosa. This led us t...
متن کاملCloning and characterization of the Pseudomonas aeruginosa lasR gene, a transcriptional activator of elastase expression.
We report the discovery of the lasR gene, which positively regulates elastase expression in Pseudomonas aeruginosa PAO1. The lasR gene was cloned by its ability to restore a positive elastase phenotype in strain PA103, a strain which possesses the elastase structural gene (lasB) but fails to synthesize the enzyme. Nucleotide sequence analysis revealed an open reading frame of 716 nucleotides en...
متن کاملDetection of Neuraminidase Activity in Pseudomonas aeruginosa PAO1
Objective(s) Some properties of neuraminidase produced by Pseudomonas aeruginosa PAO1 growth in a defined medium (BHI) were examined and evaluated for its features. Materials and Methods The obtained supernatant enzyme of P. aeruginosa PAO1 cultures was used in a sensitive fluorometric assay by using 2'-(4-methylumbelliferyl) a-D-N acetylneuraminic acid as substrate. As hydrolyzing MUN with ...
