Erwinia carotovora subsp. carotovora extracellular protease: characterization and nucleotide sequence of the gene.
The prt1 gene encoding extracellular protease from Erwinia carotovora subsp. carotovora EC14 in cosmid pCA7 was subcloned to create plasmid pSK1. The partial nucleotide sequence of the insert in pSK1 (1,878 bp) revealed a 1,041-bp open reading frame (ORF1) that correlated with protease activity in deletion mutants. ORF1 encodes a polypeptide of 347 amino acids with a calculated molecular mass o...
متن کاملEfficient transformation of Erwinia carotovora subsp. carotovora and E. carotovora subsp. atroseptica.
We used a modified version of the method of Hanahan (D. Hanahan, J. Mol. Biol. 166:557-580, 1983) to transform Erwinia carotovora subsp. carotovora and E. carotovora subsp. atroseptica with the plasmids pBR322, pBR325, and pAT153. The transformation frequency ranged from 1 X 10(2) to 4 X 10(4) colonies per micrograms of plasmid DNA. The nature of these transformants was confirmed by plasmid ana...
متن کاملIsolation of an extracellular protease gene of Erwinia carotovora subsp. carotovora strain SCC3193 by transposon mutagenesis and the role of protease in phytopathogenicity.
Using mini-Tn5CmR::gusA, a transposon that allows transcriptional fusions to a promoterless beta-glucuronidase gene, a mutant of Erwinia carotovora subsp. carotovora SCC3193 deficient in extracellular protease production and soft-rot pathogenicity in plants was isolated. The mutant, designated SCC6004, produced normal levels of pectate lyase, polygalacturonase and cellulase. The region of the t...
متن کاملNucleotide sequence and molecular characterization of pnlA, the structural gene for damage-inducible pectin lyase of Erwinia carotovora subsp. carotovora 71.
In a previous study, pnlA (the DNA damage-inducible structural gene for pectin lyase) of Erwinia carotovora subsp. carotovora 71 was localized to a 1.4-kb DNA segment within a 3.4-kb EcoRI fragment (J. L. McEvoy, H. Murata, and A. K. Chatterjee, J. Bacteriol. 172:3284-3289, 1990). We present here DNA sequence data for a 2.2-kb region revealing an open reading frame of 870 bases, corresponding t...
متن کاملIdentification and cloning of an Erwinia carotovora subsp. carotovora bacteriocin regulator gene by insertional mutagenesis.
Avirulent Erwinia carotovora subsp. carotovora CGE234-M403 produces two types of bacteriocin. For the purpose of cloning the bacteriocin genes of strain CGE234M403, a spontaneous rifampin-resistant mutant of this strain, M-rif-11-2, was isolated. By Tn5 insertional mutagenesis using M-rif-11-2, a mutant, TM01A01, which produces the high-molecular-weight bacteriocin but not the low-molecular-wei...
