ABSTRACT We have cloned and characterized the kex1 gene of Pneumocystis jiroveci. Unlike the case for Pneumocystis carinii, in which the homologous PRT-1 genes are multicopy, kex1 is a single-copy gene encoding a protein homologous to fungal serine endoproteases, which localize to the Golgi apparatus. Thus, substantial biological differences can be seen among Pneumocystis species.

Nine blue fluorescent mutants of the flowering plant Arabidopsis thaliana were isolated by genetic selections and fluorescence screens. Each was shown to contain a recessive allele of trp1, a previously described locus that encodes the tryptophan biosynthetic enzyme phosphoribosylanthranilate transferase (PAT, called trpD in bacteria). The trp1 mutants consist of two groups, tryptophan auxotrophs and prototrophs, that differ significantly in growth rate, morphology, and fertility. The trp1 alleles cause plants to accumulate varying amounts of blue fluorescent anthranilate compounds, and only the two least severely affected of the prototrophs have any detectable PAT enzyme activity. All four of the trp1 mutations that were sequenced are G to A or C to T transitions that cause an amino acid change, but in only three of these is the affected residue phylogenetically conserved. There is an unusually high degree of sequence divergence in the single-copy gene encoding PAT from the wild-type Columbia and Landsberg erecta ecotypes of Arabidopsis.

Giardiasis in humans is a gastrointestinal disease transmitted by the potentially zoonotic Giardia duodenalis genotypes (assemblages) A and B. Small wild rodents such as mice and voles are discussed as potential reservoirs for G. duodenalis but are predominantly populated by the two rodent species Giardia microti and Giardia muris. Currently, the detection of zoonotic and non-zoonotic Giardia species and genotypes in these animals relies on cumbersome PCR and sequencing approaches of genetic marker genes. This hampers the risk assessment of potential zoonotic Giardia transmissions by these animals. Here, we provide a workflow based on newly developed real-time PCR schemes targeting the small ribosomal RNA multi-copy gene locus to distinguish G. muris, G. microti and G. duodenalis infections. For the identification of potentially zoonotic G. duodenalis assemblage types A and B, an established protocol targeting the single-copy gene 4E1-HP was used. The assays were specific for the distinct Giardia species or genotypes and revealed an analytical sensitivity of approximately one or below genome equivalent for the multi-copy gene and of about 10 genome equivalents for the single-copy gene. Retesting a biobank of small rodent samples confirmed the specificity. It further identified the underlying Giardia species in four out of 11 samples that could not be typed before by PCR and sequencing. The newly developed workflow has the potential to facilitate the detection of potentially zoonotic and non-zoonotic Giardia species in wild rodents.
