Abstract:
ABSTRACT Many bacterial species contain multiple copies of the genes that encode the chaperone GroEL and its cochaperone, GroES, including all of the fully sequenced root-nodulating bacteria that interact symbiotically with legumes to generate fixed nitrogen. In particular, in Sinorhizobium meliloti there are four groESL operons and one groEL gene. To uncover functional redundancies of these genes during growth and symbiosis, we attempted to construct strains containing all combinations of groEL mutations. Although a double groEL1 groEL2 mutant cannot be constructed, we demonstrate that the qu

ABSTRACT Among the rhizobia that establish nitrogen-fixing nodules on the roots of host plants, many contain multiple copies of genes encoding the sigma factor RpoH and the chaperone GroEL/GroES. In Sinorhizobium meliloti there are two rpoH genes, four groESL operons, and one groEL gene. rpoH1 mutants are defective for growth at high temperature and form ineffective nodules, rpoH1 rpoH2 double mutants are unable to form nodules, and groESL1 mutants form ineffective nodules. To explore the roles of RpoH1 and RpoH2, we identified mutants that suppress both the growth and nodulation defects. Thes

Abstract:
ABSTRACT Expression of the dnaKJ andgroESL 1 heat shock operons ofBradyrhizobium japonicum depends on a ς32-like transcription factor. Three such factors (RpoH1, RpoH2, and RpoH3) have previously been identified in this organism. We report here that they direct transcription from some but not all ς32-type promoters when the respective rpoH genes are expressed inEscherichia coli. All three RpoH factors were purified as soluble C-terminally histidine-tagged proteins, although the bulk of overproduced RpoH3 was insoluble. The purified proteins were recognized by an anti-E. coli ς32 serum. While R

Myxococcus xanthus DK1622 possesses two copies of the groEL gene: groEL1, which participates in development, and groEL2, which is involved in the predatory ability of cells. In this study, we determined that the groEL2 gene is required for the biosynthesis of the secondary metabolite myxovirescin (TA), which plays essential roles in predation. The groEL2-knockout mutant strain was defective in producing a zone of inhibition and displayed decreased killing ability against Escherichia coli, while the groEL1-knockout mutant strain exhibited little difference from the wild-type strain DK1622.

ABSTRACT Two genes bearing similarity to alternative sigma factors were identified in the Deinococcus radiodurans genome sequence and designated sig1 and sig2. These genes were cloned and inactivated, and both were found to be important for survival during heat and ethanol stress, although the sig1 mutants displayed a more severe phenotype than the sig2 mutants. Reporter gene fusions to the groESL and dnaKJ operons transformed into these mutant backgrounds indicated that sig1 is required for the heat shock induction of groESL and dnaKJ, whereas sig2 mutants show a more moderate defect in dnaKJ

ABSTRACT The hrcA and hspR genes of Helicobacter pylori encode two transcriptional repressor proteins that negatively regulate expression of the groES-groEL and hrcA-grpE-dnaK operons. While HspR was previously shown to bind far upstream of the promoters transcribing these operons, the binding sites of HrcA were not identified. Here, we demonstrate by footprinting analysis that HrcA binds to operator elements similar to the so-called CIRCE sequences overlapping both promoters. Binding of HspR and HrcA to their respective operators occurs in an independent manner, but the DNA binding activity o

ABSTRACT Our working hypothesis is that the major molecular chaperones DnaK and GroE play central roles in the ability of oral bacteria to cope with the rapid and frequent stresses encountered in oral biofilms, such as acidification and nutrient limitation. Previously, our laboratory partially characterized the dnaK operon ofStreptococcus mutans(hrcA-grpE-dnaK) and demonstrated that dnaK is up-regulated in response to acid shock and sustained acidification (G.

Coupling with ATP hydrolysis and cooperating with GroES, the double ring chaperonin GroEL assists the folding of other proteins. Here we report novel GroEL-GroES complexes formed in fluoroberyllate (BeFx) that can mimic the phosphate part of the enzyme-bound nucleotides. In ATP, BeFxstops the functional turnover of GroEL by preventing GroES release and produces a symmetric 1:2 GroEL-GroES complex in which both GroEL rings contain ADP·BeFxand an encapsulated substrate protein. In ADP, the substrate protein-loaded GroEL cannot bind GroES. In ADPplusBeFx, however, it can bind GroES to form a stab

ABSTRACT The bacterial heat shock response is characterized by the elevated expression of a number of chaperone complexes, including the GroEL and GroES proteins. The groES and groEL genes are highly conserved among eubacteria and are typically arranged as an operon. Genome analysis of Bifidobacterium breve UCC 2003 revealed that the groES and groEL genes are located in different chromosomal regions. The heat inducibility of the groEL and groES genes of B. breve UCC 2003 was verified by slot blot analysis. Northern blot analyses showed that the cspA gene is cotranscribed with the groEL gene, w

Therefore, revealing this dynamic interaction is essential to understanding the allosteric communications and the operation mechanism of GroEL. Nevertheless, how this interaction proceeds in the chaperonin cycle has long been controversial.

Like its previously identified paralog, RpoHI, RpoHII is able to complement the temperature-sensitive phenotype of an Escherichia coli σ32 (rpoH) mutant. In addition, we show that recombinant RpoHI and RpoHII each transcribe two E. coli σ32-dependent promoters (rpoD PHS and dnaK P1) when reconst

Here we show that two of the HspR-regulated operons, namely, the groESL and dnaK operons, encoding the major cellular chaperone machineries are also regulated by the H. pylori homologue of the HrcA repressor. Similarly to the hspR mutation, deletion of the hrcA gene also leads to complete derepression of the P gro and P hrc promoters. The presence of both HspR and HrcA is therefore necessary for regulated transcription from these promoters. HrcA binds directly to

Xanthomonas oryzae pv. oryzae (Xoo) is a plant pathogen that causes bacterial blight of rice, with outbreaks occurring in most rice-growing countries. Thus far, there is no effective pesticide against bacterial blight. Chaperones in bacterial pathogens are important for the stabilization and delivery of effectors into host cells to cause disease. In bacteria, GroEL/GroES complex mediates protein folding and protects proteins against misfolding and aggregation caused by environmental stress.
