Transcriptional organization and regulation of magnetosome operons in Magnetospirillum gryphiswaldense.
Genes involved in magnetite biomineralization are clustered within the genomic magnetosome island of Magnetospirillum gryphiswaldense. Their transcriptional organization and regulation were studied by several approaches. Cotranscription of genes within the mamAB, mamDC, and mms clusters was demonstrated by reverse transcription-PCR (RT-PCR) of intergenic regions, indicating the presence of long...
متن کاملA novel role for Crp in controlling magnetosome biosynthesis in Magnetospirillum gryphiswaldense MSR-1
Magnetotactic bacteria (MTB) are specialized microorganisms that synthesize intracellular magnetite particles called magnetosomes. Although many studies have focused on the mechanism of magnetosome synthesis, it remains unclear how these structures are formed. Recent reports have suggested that magnetosome formation is energy dependent. To investigate the relationship between magnetosome format...
متن کاملEffects of Environmental Conditions on High-Yield Magnetosome Production by Magnetospirillum gryphiswaldense MSR-1
Background: Magnetotactic bacteria are a heterogeneous group of Gram-negative prokaryote cells that produce linear chains of magnetic particles called magnetosomes, intracellular organelles composed of magnetic iron particles. Many important applications have been defined for magnetic nanoparticles in biotechnology, such as cell separation applications and acting as carriers of enzymes, antib...
متن کاملIdentification of promoters for efficient gene expression in Magnetospirillum gryphiswaldense.
To develop an expression system for the magnetotactic bacterium Magnetospirillum gryphiswaldense, we compared gene expression from the widely used Escherichia coli P(lac) promoter with that from known and predicted genuine M. gryphiswaldense promoters. With the use of green fluorescent protein as a reporter, the highest expression level was observed with the magnetosomal P(mamDC) promoter. We d...
متن کاملBiochemical and proteomic analysis of the magnetosome membrane in Magnetospirillum gryphiswaldense.
We analyzed the biochemical composition of the magnetosome membrane (MM) in Magnetospirillum gryphiswaldense. Isolated magnetosomes were associated with phospholipids and fatty acids which were similar to phospholipids and fatty acids from other subcellular compartments (i.e., outer and cytoplasmic membranes) but were present in different proportions. The binding characteristics of MM-associate...
