Regulation of syrM and nodD3 in Rhizobium meliloti.
The early steps of symbiotic nodule formation by Rhizobium on plants require coordinate expression of several nod gene operons, which is accomplished by the activating protein NodD. Three different NodD proteins are encoded by Sym plasmid genes in Rhizobium meliloti, the alfalfa symbiont. NodD1 and NodD2 activate nod operons when Rhizobium is exposed to host plant inducers. The third, NodD3, is...
متن کاملRhizobium meliloti nodulation genes: identification of nodDABC gene products, purification of nodA protein, and expression of nodA in Rhizobium meliloti.
A set of conserved, or common, bacterial nodulation (nod) loci is required for host plant infection by Rhizobium meliloti and other Rhizobium species. Four such genes, nodDABC, have been indicated in R. meliloti 1021 by genetic analysis and DNA sequencing. An essential step toward understanding the function of these genes is to characterize their protein products. We used in vitro and maxicell ...
متن کاملIsolation and characterization of the recA gene of Rhizobium meliloti.
Interspecific complementation of an Escherichia coli recA mutant with plasmids containing a gene bank of Rhizobium meliloti DNA was used to identify a clone which contains the recA gene of R. meliloti. The R. meliloti recA protein can function in recombination and in response to DNA damage when expressed in an E. coli recA host, and hybridization studies have shown that DNA sequence homology ex...
متن کاملThe Sinorhizobium meliloti SyrM regulon: effects on global gene expression are mediated by syrA and nodD3.
UNLABELLED In Sinorhizobium meliloti, three NodD transcriptional regulators activate bacterial nodulation (nod) gene expression. NodD1 and NodD2 require plant compounds to activate nod genes. The NodD3 protein does not require exogenous compounds to activate nod gene expression; instead, another transcriptional regulator, SyrM, activates nodD3 expression. In addition, NodD3 can activate syrM ex...
