Dual roles of Bradyrhizobium japonicum nickelin protein in nickel storage and GTP-dependent Ni mobilization.
The hydrogenase accessory protein HypB, or nickelin, has two functions in the N(2)-fixing, H(2)-oxidizing bacterium Bradyrhizobium japonicum. One function of HypB involves the mobilization of nickel into hydrogenase. HypB also carries out a nickel storage/sequestering function in B. japonicum, binding nine nickel ions per monomer. Here we report that the two roles (nickel mobilization and stora...
متن کاملNickel Uptake in Bradyrhizobium japonicumt
Free-living Bradyrhizobiumjaponicum grown heterotrophically with 1 ,uM 63Ni2' accumulated label. Strain SR470, a Hupc mutant, accumulated almost 10-fold more 63Ni2+ on a per-cell basis than did strain SR, the wild type. Nongrowing cells were also able to accumulate nickel over a 2-h period, with the Hupc mutant strain SR470 again accumulating significantly more 63Ni2+ than strain SR. These resu...
متن کاملThiosulfate-dependent chemolithoautotrophic growth of Bradyrhizobium japonicum.
Thiosulfate-oxidizing sox gene homologues were found at four loci (I, II, III, and IV) on the genome of Bradyrhizobium japonicum USDA110, a symbiotic nitrogen-fixing bacterium in soil. In fact, B. japonicum USDA110 can oxidize thiosulfate and grow under a chemolithotrophic condition. The deletion mutation of the soxY(1) gene at the sox locus I, homologous to the sulfur-oxidizing (Sox) system in...
متن کاملChemotaxis of Bradyrhizobium japonicum to soybean exudates.
The chemotactic response of Bradyrhizobium japonicum toward soybean seed and root exudates was examined. Assays using various isoflavones and fractionated exudate indicated that isoflavones are not the principal attractants in exudates. Likewise, induction of nod genes with isoflavones or seed exudate before assay did not enhance chemotaxis. Screening of numerous compounds revealed that only di...
متن کاملBradyrhizobium japonicum Survival in and Soybean Inoculation with Fluid Gels.
The utilization of gels, which are used for fluid drilling of seeds, as carriers of Bradyrhizobium japonicum for soybean (Glycine max (L.) Merr.) inoculation was studied. Gels of various chemical composition (magnesium silicate, potassium acrylate-acrylamide, grafted starch, and hydroxyethyl cellulose) were used, although the hydroxyethyl cellulose gels were more extensively investigated. Gel i...
