Amplification Mechanism

ABSTRACT We observed a spontaneous amplification of the Streptomyces coelicolor chromosome, including genes encoding biosynthetic enzymes of the antibiotic actinorhodin. A new junction of two tandem segments has, inserted within it, a third copy of a transposable element existing in two places elsewhere in the chromosome, suggesting its involvement in the amplification mechanism.

Abstract Congenital neutropenia comprises a variety of genetically heterogeneous phenotypic traits. Molecular elucidation of the underlying genetic defects has yielded important insights into the physiology of neutrophil differentiation and function. Non-syndromic variants of congenital neutropenia are caused by mutations in ELA2, HAX1, GFI1, or WAS. Syndromic variants of congenital neutropenia may be due to mutations in genes controlling glucose metabolism (SLC37A4, G6PC3) or lysosomal function (LYST, RAB27A, ROBLD3/p14, AP3B1, VPS13B). Furthermore, defects in genes encoding ribosomal proteins (SBDS, RMRP) and mitochondrial proteins (AK2, TAZ) are associated with congenital neutropenia syndromes. Despite remarkable progress in the field, many patients with congenital neutropenia cannot yet definitively be classified by genetic terms. This review addresses diagnostic and therapeutic aspects of congenital neutropenia and covers recent molecular and pathophysiological insights of selected congenital neutropenia syndromes.

ABSTRACT The rare actinomycete Actinoplanes missouriensis forms sporangia, including hundreds of flagellated spores that start swimming as zoospores after their release. Under conditions suitable for vegetative growth, zoospores stop swimming and germinate. A comparative proteome analysis between zoospores and germinating cells identified 15 proteins that were produced in larger amounts in germinating cells. They include an orthologue of BldD (herein named AmBldD [BldD of A. missouriensis]), which is a transcriptional regulator involved in morphological development and secondary metabolism in Streptomyces. AmBldD was detected in mycelia during vegetative growth but was barely detected in mycelia during the sporangium-forming phase, in spite of the constant transcription of AmbldD throughout growth. An AmbldD mutant started to form sporangia much earlier than the wild-type strain, and the resulting sporangia were morphologically abnormal. Recombinant AmBldD bound a palindromic sequence, the AmBldD box, located upstream from AmbldD. 3′,5′-Cyclic di-GMP significantly enhanced the in vitro DNA-binding ability of AmBldD. A chromatin immunoprecipitation-sequencing analysis and an in silico search for AmBldD boxes revealed that AmBldD bound 346 genomic loci that contained the 19-bp inverted repeat 5′-NN(G/A)TNACN(C/G)N(G/C)NGTNA(C/T)NN-3′ as the consensus AmBldD-binding sequence. The transcriptional analysis of 27 selected AmBldD target gene candidates indicated that AmBldD should repress 12 of the 27 genes, including bldM, ssgB, whiD, ddbA, and wblA orthologues. These genes are involved in morphological development in Streptomyces coelicolor A3(2). Thus, AmBldD is a global transcriptional regulator that seems to repress the transcription of tens of genes during vegetative growth, some of which are likely to be required for sporangium formation. IMPORTANCE The rare actinomycete Actinoplanes missouriensis undergoes complex morphological differentiation, including sporangium formation. However, almost no molecular biological studies have been conducted on this bacterium. BldD is a key global regulator involved in the morphological development of streptomycetes. BldD orthologues are highly conserved among sporulating actinomycetes, but no BldD orthologues, except one in Saccharopolyspora erythraea, have been studied outside the streptomycetes. Here, it was revealed that the BldD orthologue AmBldD is essential for normal developmental processes in A. missouriensis. The AmBldD regulon seems to be different from the BldD regulon in Streptomyces coelicolor A3(2), but they share four genes that are involved in morphological differentiation in S. coelicolor A3(2).

Mitochondria are one of the most important organelles in cells. Mitochondria are semi-autonomous organelles with their own genetic system, and can independently replicate, transcribe, and translate mitochondrial DNA. Translation initiation, elongation, termination, and recycling of the ribosome are four stages in the process of mitochondrial protein translation. In this process, mitochondrial protein translation factors and translation activators, mitochondrial RNA, and other regulatory factors regulate mitochondrial protein translation. Mitochondrial protein translation abnormalities are associated with a variety of diseases, including cancer, cardiovascular diseases, and nervous system diseases. Mutation or deletion of various mitochondrial protein translation factors and translation activators leads to abnormal mitochondrial protein translation. Mitochondrial tRNAs and mitochondrial ribosomal proteins are essential players during translation and mutations in genes encoding them represent a large fraction of mitochondrial diseases. Moreover, there is crosstalk between mitochondrial protein translation and cytoplasmic translation, and the imbalance between mitochondrial protein translation and cytoplasmic translation can affect some physiological and pathological processes. This review summarizes the regulation of mitochondrial protein translation factors, mitochondrial ribosomal proteins, mitochondrial tRNAs, and mitochondrial aminoacyl-tRNA synthetases (mt-aaRSs) in the mitochondrial protein translation process and its relationship with diseases. The regulation of mitochondrial protein translation and cytoplasmic translation in multiple diseases is also summarized.

ABSTRACT Comparison of the phenotypic expression of Mycoplasma gallisepticum strain R low (passage 15) to that of strain R high (passage 164) revealed that three proteins, i.e., the cytadhesin molecule GapA, a 116-kDa protein (p116), and a 45-kDa protein (p45), are missing in strain R high. Sequence analysis confirmed that the insertion of an adenine 105 bp downstream of the gapAtranslational start codon resulted in premature termination of translation in R high. A second adenine insertion had also occurred at position 907. Restoration of expression of wild-type gapAin R high (clone designated GT5) allowed us to evaluate the extent to which the diminished cytadherence capacity could be attributed to GapA alone. The results indicated that GT5 attached to the same limited extent as the parental R high, from which it was derived. The cytadherence capability of the parental R high was not restored solely by gapA complementation alone, indicating that either p116 or p45 or both may play a role in the overall cytadherence process. The gene encoding p116 was found to be immediately downstream ofgapA in the same operon and was designatedcrmA. This gene exhibited striking homology to genes encoding molecules with cytadhesin-related functions in bothMycoplasma pneumoniae and Mycoplasma genitalium. Transcriptional analysis revealed thatcrmA is not transcribed in R high. We are currently constructing a shuttle vector containing both the wild-typegapA and crmA for transformation into R high to assess the role of CrmA in the cytadherence process.
