Cells were electroporated with unmethylated plasmid prepared as described above, or with methylated plasmid extracted from E. coli DH5α as a control. Because plasmid pIGSAF has a broad host-range origin of replication and expresses egfp under the control of a constitutive promoter, the plasmid is likely to be usable in other strains as well.

(+)N media included 5 mM ammonium chloride as a nitrogen source whereas (–)N media had no added nitrogen source. Figure 4. The ligation product was then re-amplified by PCR using the nif promoter forward primer and the egfp reverse primer. Sambrook, J., Fritsch, E. F., and Maniatis, T. (1989). It has been suggested that the nodA gene involved in Nod factor biosynthesis evolved in the actinobacteria, including some Frankia, and was then horizontally transferred to the rhizobia (Persson et al., 2015).

Biological nitrogen fixation has potential applications in the development of minimal input strategies for more sustainable agriculture globally, and in nutrient-deficient soils (Gutierrez, 2012; Mus et al., 2016). Rev. To study the differential expression of egfp in response to nitrogen limitation, a second plasmid, pIGSAFnif, was synthesized that permitted the egfp coding-region to be expressed under the control of the nif cluster promoter of F. alni ACN14a (Supplementary Figure S1A). Protoplasma 136, 104–117. (2012). 135, 1849–1862. These two PCR products were digested with EcoRI (catalog #R0101S, New England Biolabs) and ligated together as above to produce a fragment 1134 bp in length. The corresponding endosymbionts, Frankia and the rhizobia, however, are distantly related groups of bacteria, leading to questions about their symbiotic mechanisms and evolutionary history. Primers designed for this study. Microbiol. (2002). Rev. Environ. For selection of transformants, chloramphenicol was used at a final concentration of 25 μg/ml. (B) Transformed F. alni ACN14a with plasmid pIGSAF. (2016). 57, 293–319. At this point F. alni hyphae were homogenized and sub-cultured into fresh media as above. U.S.A. 113, 13875–13880. The development of genetic tools for the manipulation of Frankia will allow further exploration into these and other distinctive molecular aspects of actinorhizal symbioses, which will, in turn, further inform analyses of the evolution and diversity of root nodule symbiosis. The majority of Frankia strains are unique to specific plant species. This suggests that there can be condition-dependent expression of nif genes in the hyphae as well as the vesicles induced by nitrogen limitation. In liquid culture, there may be zones of low pO2 that develop in portions of a Frankia hyphal colony where nitrogen fixation could be induced. A., Watson, K. G., Liu, M., Boyle, C., and Holden, D. W. (2010). Differences in methylation patterns between actinobacteria and other bacterial phyla (Novella et al., 1996) potentially constitute a barrier to horizontal gene transfer between these groups, including phage-mediated gene transfer. Cells were spread on LB plates with chloramphenicol and incubated overnight, then cultured in liquid LB media with chloramphenicol and re-extracted as above. (1982) originally demonstrated the role of the nod genes in symbiosis by complementing nodulation-deficient mutants of Sinorhizobium meliloti with nod genes encoded on a replicating, broad host-range plasmid. (2006). to circumvent the type IV restriction barrier identified in this study. Rose, R. E. (1988). The bacterial symbionts are only distantly related to each, however, Frankia belongs to the phylum Actinobacteria, comprised of gram-positive bacteria with high-GC genomes. Colonies were viewed at 20X magnification. Am. 24, 231–240. (2000). Phylogenetically, Frankia strains can be grouped in four clusters. Science 336, 1673–1675. found that these genomes were not methylated in the canonical Dam pattern (Novella et al., 1996). doi: 10.1073/pnas.1000041107, Horodniceanu, T., Bouanchaud, D. H., Bieth, G., and Chabbert, Y. 32, 1792–1797. The pIP501 origin of replication has been shown to replicate in bacteria of diverse phyla including Firmicutes, from which it was originally isolated (Horodniceanu et al., 1976), as well as Actinobacteria and Proteobacteria (Kurenbach et al., 2003). Other mechanisms have been found to trigger nodulation in some legumes by rhizobia, including an effector protein injected into the host by a type III secretion system (Okazaki et al., 2013), however genes responsible for these pathways lack homologs in Frankia genomes as well. Die Mitarbeiterzufriedenheit zeigt, wie zufrieden die Mitarbeiter mit ihrem Arbeitsplatz, ihrer Arbeitserfahrung und dem Unternehmen sind, für das sie arbeiten. BMC Microbiol. Cloning of Rhizobium meliloti nodulation genes by direct complementation of Nod- mutants. For absolute quantification standards were created by serial 10-fold dilution, repeated five times, of the plasmid pDiGc extracted from E. coli DH5α and F. alni genomic DNA from an untransformed culture. 11:192. doi: 10.1186/1471-2180-11-192. Landau: Verlag Empirische Pädagogik. Genomes of the majority of actinobacteria are missing homologs of the dam methyltransferase gene (Sanchez-Romero et al., 2015) whose product is used to mark parent DNA strands during replication, and mutS and mutL that form a complex for the removal and repair of mismatched bases on the daughter strand determined by the methylation of adenine residues (Sachadyn, 2010). Each week the culture was sub-cultured into fresh media and genomic DNA was extracted to measure relative plasmid concentrations via qPCR. (2016). 75, 5434–5436. U.S.A. 110, 17131–17136. Berry, A.

Novel expression pattern of cytosolic Gln synthetase in nitrogen-fixing root nodules of the actinorhizal host, Datisca glomerata. No fluorescence was observed in hyphae or vesicles of wild-type F. alni grown in (–)N media (Figure 5A). Expression of the F. alni rpoD housekeeping gene (FRAAL2026), used as a negative control, was not significantly different between (+)N and (–)N cultures (Table 3). Structural and functional comparison of Frankia root hair deforming factor and rhizobia Nod factor. REBASE-a database for DNA restriction and modification: enzymes, genes, and genomes. doi: 10.1073/pnas.1302360110, Oldroyd, G. E. D. (2013). Table 1. Although the fluorescence observed when egfp was expressed under the control of the F. alni nif cluster promoter was predominantly in the vesicles, some fluorescence was occasionally observed in hyphae under nitrogen-fixing conditions whereas in (+)N media there was no observable fluorescence (Figure 5). Actinorhizal and legume hosts share the Common Symbiotic Pathway, a signaling pathway at early stages of interaction that leads to the development of the nodule by the host after recognition of the symbiont (Oldroyd, 2013), in addition to several key gene orthologs involved in the process of nodule development (Battenberg et al., 2018; Griesmann et al., 2018). Cultures were imaged after on1 week of incubation from the previous transfer, 25 weeks after transformation, as described in Plasmid Maintenance on Selective Media, below. Signals that elicit responses in host roots, including root-hair curling, an early step in some rhizobial and actinorhizal symbioses (Oldroyd, 2013), have been detected experimentally in some Frankia in clusters I and III. (2019). Slides were pre-heated on a slide warmer (Fisher) at 50°C. Molecular Cloning: A Laboratory Manual, Second Edn. In future this system could be modified using recombination or site-specific integrases to anchor genes within the genome. A separate set of cultures from the same stock was maintained in selective media and subcultured at the same time points as a control.

Fluorescence of a Frankia alni hyphal colony transformed with plasmid pIGSAF grown (A) with chloramphicol selection for 10 weeks (B) and without selection for 4 weeks. Rev. F. alni cells transformed with the methylated plasmid were similarly cultured. (2018). U.S.A. 92, 2647–2651. Bacterial Genomic DNA Isolation Using CTAB. 42, 56–69. (2017). 63, 335–344. Plant Soil 254, 83–88. Restriction enzymes were categorized by enzyme types: I, II, III, or IV. CcI3. 9:e1003419. (2000): F. alni hyphae were pelleted at 9000 rpm for 15 min, resuspended in 1050 μl Buffer RLT (Qiagen), and transferred to 2 ml tubes containing Lysing Matrix B (catalog #6911-100, MP Biomedicals, Burlingame, CA, United States). The copy number of plasmid pIGSAF in F. alni cultures under antibiotic selection was determined with both the absolute and relative quantification methods of Lee et al. Plasmids pIGSAF and pIGSAFnif (Supplementary Figure S1) were stably maintained in F. alni culture and used to perform routine experiments. For DNA extract visualization, 1 μg each of DNA extract from transformed and untransformed F. alni cultures was loaded into a well on a 0.7% agarose gel. To determine significant changes in plasmid abundance, two-tailed Welch’s t-tests were performed in R on normalized ΔCt values (p < 0.05). Transformed colonies were inoculated into liquid LB media with chloramphenicol and cultured as described above. Streptococcus-Escherichia coli shuttle vector pSA3 and its use in the cloning of streptococcal genes.

Restriction of plasmid DNA during transformation but not conjugation in Neisseria gonorrhoeae. Additionally, natural vectors for Frankia transformation are limited as no Frankia phages have been discovered (Simonet et al., 1990). Anhand dieser Informationen kannst Du dann Dein Angebot und die Kundenzufriedenheit insgesamt verbessern. Alloisio, N., Queiroux, C., Fournier, P., Normand, P., Vallenet, D., Medigue, C., et al. Circumventing the natural restriction systems of Frankia will also increase the transformation rate of non-replicating plasmids and enable higher efficiency recombination, which can be combined with CRISPR systems, for gene knock-out experiments as attempted by Kucho et al. Opin. Bacteria in the genus Frankia form nitrogen-fixing root nodule symbioses with a group of host plants, the actinorhizal plants. by electroporation, our analysis of restriction systems in Frankia spp. The following week (2 weeks after visible hyphae were observed) the hyphae were sub-cultured again into BAPP media, this time with chloramphenicol added for selection to a final concentration of 25 μg/ml. Hyphae equivalent to approximately 50 μl packed-cell volume were collected then pelleted as above and re-suspended in 500 μl of ice-cold sterile deionized (DI) water. (1981). NA: Transcriptome not available. Dominating present-day northern France, Belgium, and western Germany, the Franks established the most powerful Christian kingdom of early medieval western Europe. Actinorhizal plants form nitrogen-fixing root nodules in symbiosis with soil-dwelling actinobacteria within the genus Frankia, and specific Frankia taxonomic clusters nodulate plants in corresponding host infection groups. Other Frankia genomes contained significant homologs of this type IV enzyme as well. doi: 10.1073/pnas.92.7.2647, Spaepen, S., Das, F., Luyten, E., Michiels, J., and Vanderleyden, J. FEMS Microbiol. Figure 5. Additionally, Frankia is a multicellular, hyphal organism with a complex life cycle. The final size of plasmid pIGSAFnif was approximately 10.8 kb (Supplementary Figure S1B). Feil, W. S., Feil, H., and Copeland, A. Appl. Purified plasmid pIGSAF, extracted with a Qiaprep kit, was loaded into a separate well for comparison. In symbiosis with Alnus glutinosa the mrr homolog was down-regulated approximately 7.8-fold (p < 0.007), from the 85th percentile in culture to an expression level no higher than 12% of transcriptome genes, while the other restriction enzymes identified in the F. alni genome (type I and type II) were not down-regulated in symbiosis (Figure 1). Together, these factors suggest a preference for unmethylated over methylated DNA among most of the actinobacteria. When imaged under 488 nm wavelength of excitation in the confocal microscope, green fluorescence typical of GFP was observed in hyphae as shown in Figure 4. Antimicrob.

These were aligned with MUSCLE (Edgar, 2004) with published reference sequences for the egfp and camR genes. For relative quantification, the same DNA extracts as above were used and the F. alni nifH (FRAAL6813) gene was amplified with primer pair nifH_qpCR_F/nifH_qpCR_R (Table 1) as well. Antibiotic resistance patterns of Frankia strains. IG carried out the project and wrote the manuscript. This suggests that transformants can be used to inoculate plants to study of the role of Frankia and its interactions with hosts during nodule establishment and symbiosis. RNA was eluted in RNase-free water and then contaminating DNA was digested with an Invitrogen TURBO DNA-free Kit (catalog #AM1907, Waltham, MA, United States). doi: 10.1073/pnas.90.13.6091. Each week both sets of cultures were pelleted and re-suspended in 500 μl fresh BAPP media. Fred Franzia, the iconoclastic businessman who turned the wine industry on its head with his inexpensive Charles Shaw label, better known as Two-Buck Chuck, died on Tuesday at his . (2015). Genetic improvement has the potential to introduce nitrogen-fixing symbioses into a wider range of crop plants once a broader understanding of the mechanisms involved in these symbioses is achieved (Mus et al., 2016). Separate transformations performed on Frankia alni ACN14a and cultures maintained on selective media. M. tuberculosis expresses an adenine methyltransferase in hypoxic conditions that regulates the expression of genes likely involved with survival during macrophage infection (Shell et al., 2013). A. Smith (New York, NY: Marcel Dekker), 309–381. The extract from transformed F. alni (T, right) shows an additional band not present in untransformed, wild-type, cells (wt, middle) equivalent to linearized plasmid pIGSAF from E. coli (P, left).
