    Notes: Abstract By a genomic comparison of two sibling yeasts, Saccharomyces bayanus and S. cerevisiae, we previously demonstrated that chromosomes II and IV of S. cerevisiae were rearranged into chromosomes 12 and 14 of S. bayanus or vice versa. In the present study we have delimited the translocation break sites in chromosomes II and IV by Southern hybridization using DNA fragments of S. cerevisiae cosmid clones as probes. The results suggest that the reciprocal translocation of chromosomes II and IV had occurred at duplicated RPL2 loci. Furthermore, the translocation sites in S. bayanus were confirmed by the cloning and sequence analysis of the regions flanking RPL2 loci. Several genes in the regions flanking the RPL2 loci were present in the order expected for a translocation at these loci between the two species. These results indicated that the reciprocal translocation between chromosomes II and IV was generated by homologous recombination at duplicated RPL2 loci on the two chromosomes. Therefore, we propose that duplicated genes or duplicated regions play an important role in altering genomic organization during the speciation of S. bayanus and S. cerevisiae.

    Notes: The Arthrobacter simplex gene coding for 3-ketosteroid-Δ1-dehydrogenase, a key enzyme in the degradation of the steroid nucleus, was cloned in Streptomyces lividans, Nucleotide sequence analysis revealed that the gene for 3-ketosteroid-Δ1-dehydrogenase (ksdD) is clustered with at least two more genes possibly involved in steroid metabolism. Upstream of ksdD, we found a gene, ksdR, encoding a hypothetical regulatory protein that shows homologies to KdgR, the negative regulator of pectin biodegradation in Erwinia, and GylR, the activator for glycerol metabolism in Steptomyces. A helix-turn-helix DNA-binding domain can be predicted at similar positions near the N-terminal of KsdR, KdgR and GylR. ksdl adjoining downstream to ksdD codes for a protein that has strong similarities to 3-ketosteroid-Δ5-isomerases. The highly conserved Tyr and Asp residues are present in the active-centre motif of the enzyme. The translated ksdD gene product was found to be similar to the 3-ketosteroid-Δ1-dehydrogenase of Pseudomonas testosteroni and to the fumarate reductase of Shewanella putrefaciens. A region highly conserved between the two steroid dehydrogenases can be aligned to the active-centre motif of the fumarate reductase. S. lividans strains carrying the ksdD gene overexpressed 3-ketosteroid-Δ1-dehydrogenase. The expression of 3-ketosteroid-Δ5-isomerase, however, was barely detectable in recombinant S. lividans strains carrying the ksdl gene, or in the parental Arthrobacter strain.

    Notes: [Auszug] The roots of most higher plants form arbuscular mycorrhiza, an ancient, phosphate-acquiring symbiosis with fungi, whereas only four related plant orders are able to engage in the evolutionary younger nitrogen-fixing root-nodule symbiosis with bacteria. Plant symbioses with bacteria and fungi ...

    Notes: Summary We have constructed promoter probe vectors with the Escherichia coli galactokinase monitoring system that can be used in Bacillus subtilis. In vivo studies with these vectors demonstrated that the E. coli trp and tac(trp::lac) promoter regions could be utilized in B. subtilis. These promoter regions and the promoter region for the erythromycin resistance gene originating from Staphylococcus aureus were preferentially utilized during the stationary growth phase of B. subtilis, whereas the B. subtilis P21K and P29K promoters were utilized during the exponential growth phase and decreased rapidly during the stationary phase. The apparent strength of these promoters of E. coli in B. subtilis, in terms of galactokinase units, was comparable with those of the B. subtilis promoters.

    Notes: Summary We cloned the structural gene for monoamine oxidase (maoA) from Klebsiella aerogenes into a pKI212 vector in an maoA mutant strain of K. aerogenes. Deletion analysis and complementation tests of the recombinant plasmid showed that the maoA gene was located entirely within a 4.1-kb segment. In an maoA mutant strain harbouring the cloned maoA gene, synthesis of monoamine oxidase was induced by addition of tyramine and related compounds. Transfer of a plasmid containing the maoA gene into a monoamine oxidase-producing strain of K. aerogenes W70 resulted in about a 30- to 40-fold increase in total production of the enzyme. When cells of K. aerogenes carrying the plasmid containing the maoA gene were grown with tyramine, more than 85% of the monoamine oxidase was produced in soluble form, whereas the parent strain W70 produced most monoamine oxidase as the membrane-bound form.

    Notes: Summary Two multiple-copy plasmid vectors, pBEH3-5 and pBEH8-2 were constructed from a Erwinia plasmid, pEC3 or pEC8, and the Escherichia coli plasmid pBR328. Part of sequence homology between pEC3 and pEC8 was found by Southern hybridization. The two vectors were efficiently transferred into members of the species E. amylovora, E. carotovora, E. carotovora subsp. carotovora, and E. herbicola using a binary plasmid system with RP4. The transformation system examined in strains of these Erwinia species yields about 2 to 4x102 transformants per μg of pBEH3-5 DNA. These host-vector systems make potentially useful tools for the study of genes involved in the plant pathogenesis of Erwinia species.

    Notes: Summary In vivo studies with galactokinase monitoring system demonstrated that the coliphage lambda PRPL promoter regions could be utilized in B. subtilis. These promoter regions were preferentially utilized during the stationary growth phase of B. subtilis. However, these promoter regions were not controlled by the λcI857 gene at permissive or non-permissive temperature in B. subtilis, although the λP RM promoter was utilized in B. subtilis. S1-nuclease mapping suggests that B. subtilis RNA polymerase recognizes specific sequences in λP R promoter region that is not utilized in E. coli.

    Notes: Genomic comparison of two sibling yeast species, Saccharomyces bayanus and Saccharomyces cerevisiae, was performed by Southern blot analysis with various S. cerevisiae gene probes following electrophoretic karyotyping. Fifteen genes on chromosome IV of S. cerevisiae were examined and classified into two groups. Gene probes of CEN4 and TRP1, as well as six other genes located on the left arm of the chromosome hybridized to a 1100-kb chromosome of S. bayanus that is smaller than chromosome IV of S. cerevisiae. On the other hand, probes of seven genes located on the right arm of chromosome IV hybridized to a 1350-kb chromosome that is homeologous to chromosome IV, judging from its size. Two genes located on the left arm of chromosome II hybridized to the 1350-kb chromosome, while four genes on the right arm hybridized to the 1100-kb chromosome. These pieces of evidence indicate that chromosomes II and IV of S. cerevisiae are rearranged into 1350-kb and 1100-kb chromosomes in S. bayanus. Furthermore, it is suggested that chromosome XV is rearranged into two chromosomes (800 and 850 kb in size) in S. bayanus. The translocation points of chromosomes II and IV were delimited using S. cerevisiae prime clone membranes. The results indicated that the translocation points are located close to the FUR4 locus on chromosome II and close to the RAD57 locus on chromosome IV.
