Relation between Insertion Sequences and Genome Rearrangements in Pseudomonas aeruginosa
During evolution of microorganisms genomes underwork have different changes in their lengths, gene orders, and gene contents. Investigating these structural rearrangements helps to understand how genomes have been modified over time. Some elements that play an important role in genome rearrangements are called insertion sequences (ISs), they are the simplest types of transposable elements (TEs)...
متن کاملPossible insertion sequences in a mosaic genome organization upstream of the exotoxin A gene in Pseudomonas aeruginosa.
Nucleotide sequence and Southern hybridization data revealed a mosaic genome organization in a region that extends several thousand base pairs upstream of the exotoxin A (toxA) gene in Pseudomonas aeruginosa. An interstrain comparison of DNA in this region showed a pattern of alternating segments of homologous and nonhomologous sequences. Two nonhomologous elements, approximately 1 kilobase pai...
متن کاملPseudomonas aeruginosa displays an epidemic population structure.
Bacteria can have population structures ranging from the fully sexual to the highly clonal. Despite numerous studies, the population structure of Pseudomonas aeruginosa is still somewhat contentious. We used a polyphasic approach in order to shed new light on this issue. A data set consisting of three outer membrane (lipo)protein gene sequences (oprI, oprL and oprD), a DNA-based fingerprint (am...
متن کاملRole of orFD Pseudomonas aeruginosa H103 Gene in Glucose Uptake
Background:Pseudomonas aeruginosa is a gram negative non facultative bacterium and one of the members of normal flora in different sites of body in healthy humans.this bacterium can resist in fluids and hospital environments for a long time.Pseudomonas aeruginosa has two systems for glucose uptake:a low affinity oxidative pathway and a high affinity phosohorylative pathway.Although the role of ...
متن کاملBinding and spreading of ParB on DNA determine its biological function in Pseudomonas aeruginosa.
ParB protein of Pseudomonas aeruginosa belongs to a widely represented ParB family of chromosomally and plasmid-encoded partitioning type IA proteins. Ten putative parS sites are dispersed in the P. aeruginosa chromosome, with eight of them localizing in the oriC domain. After binding to parS, ParB spreads on the DNA, causing transcriptional silencing of nearby genes (A. A. Bartosik et al., J. ...
