ABSTRACT Aiming to develop a DNA marker specific for Bacillus anthracis and able to discriminate this species fromBacillus cereus, Bacillus thuringiensis, andBacillus mycoides, we applied the randomly amplified polymorphic DNA (RAPD) fingerprinting technique to a collection of 101 strains of the genus Bacillus, including 61 strains of theB. cereus group. An 838-bp RAPD marker (SG-850) specific for B. cereus, B. thuringiensis, B. anthracis, and B. mycoides was identified. This fragment included a putative (366-nucleotide) open reading frame highly homologous to the ypuA gene of Bacillus subtilis. The restriction analysis of the SG-850 fragment withAluI distinguished B. anthracis from the other species of the B. cereus group.

The mouse surfeit locus is unusual in that it contains a number of closely clustered genes (Surf-1, -2, and -4) that alternate in their direction of transcription (T. Williams, J. Yon, C. Huxley, and M. Fried, Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA 85:3527-3530, 1988). The heterogeneous 5' ends of Surf-1 and Surf-2 are separated by 15 to 73 base pairs (bp), and the 3' ends of Surf-2 and Surf-4 overlap by 133 bp (T. Williams and M. Fried, Mol. Cell. Biol. 6:4558-4569, 1986; T. Williams and M. Fried, Nature (London) 322:275-279, 1986). A fourth gene in this locus, Surf-3, which is a member of a multigene family, has been identified. The poly(A) addition site of Surf-3 lies only 70 bp from the poly(A) addition site of Surf-1. Transcription of Surf-3 has been studied in the absence of the other members of its multigene family after transfection of a cloned genomic mouse DNA fragment, containing the Surf-3 gene, into heterologous monkey cells. Surf-3 specifies a highly expressed 1.0-kilobase mRNA that contains a long open reading frame of 266 amino acids, which would encode a highly basic polypeptide (23% Arg plus Lys). The other members of the Surf-3 multigene family are predominantly, if not entirely, intronless pseudogenes with the hallmarks of being generated by reverse transcription. The role of the very tight clustering on regulation of expression of the genes in the surfeit locus is discussed.

ABSTRACT Strains of species in the Bacillus cereus group are potentially enterotoxic. Thus, the detection of all B. cereus group strains is important. As 16S ribosomal DNA sequence analysis cannot adequately differentiate species of the B. cereus group, we explored the potential of the groEL gene as a phylogenetic marker. A phylogenetic analysis of the groEL sequences of 78 B. cereus group strains revealed that the B. cereus group strains were split into two major clusters, one including six B. mycoides and one B. pseudomycoides (cluster II) and the other including two B. mycoides and the rest of the B. cereus group strains (cluster I). Cluster I was further differentiated into two subclusters, Ia and Ib. The sodA gene sequences of representative strains from different clusters were also compared. The phylogenetic tree constructed from the sodA sequences showed substantial similarity to the tree constructed from the groEL sequences. Based on the groEL sequences, a PCR assay for detection and identification of B. cereus group strains was developed. Subsequent restriction fragment length polymorphism (RFLP) analysis verified the PCR amplicons and the differentiation of the B. cereus group strains. RFLP with MboI was identical for all the B. cereus group strains analyzed, while RFLP with MfeI or PstI classified all B. cereus and B. thuringiensis strains into two groups. All cluster II B. mycoides and B. pseudomycoides strains could be discriminated from other B. cereus group bacteria by restriction analysis with TspRI.

Processed Pseudogenes

A mouse cDNA clone corresponding to an abundantly transcribed poly(A)+ mRNA was found to be represented by 200 copies in mammalian genomes. To understand the origin and nature of this sequence family, we studied two genomic members and two cDNA clones from mouse liver. The DNA sequence of the coding strand of a full-length cDNA clone was shown to have an open reading frame capable of encoding a 25-kilodalton polypeptide that has not been previously described. In vitro transcription-translation experiments verified the presence of an open reading frame encoding a protein of the predicted size. Restriction analysis of genomic DNA and DNA sequence analysis of genomic clones indicated that many of the 200 members of this family represent processed pseudogenes, with one or a small number of active structural genes. The vast majority of the genomic copies are heterogeneous in length, truncated at their 5' ends with respect to the mRNA, and do not appear to have intervening sequences. Two distinct genomic members of this family were sequenced and found to represent incomplete copies of the mRNA. Both are 5' truncated at slightly different points with respect to the mRNA. Both pseudogenes have multiple base changes, insertions, and deletions relative to the mRNA, and one of them encodes the poly(A) tail of the mRNA. The expression of this gene family is highest in rapidly dividing cells such as early mouse embryos and testis, but was seen in all tissues tested. This gene shows extremely high sequence conservation, extending to chicken, amphibian, and nematode genomes. Surprisingly, the gene appears to exist in only one copy in these organisms.

ABSTRACT In this paper, we report the cloning and characterization of three Paenibacillus azotofixans DNA regions containing genes involved in nitrogen fixation. Sequencing analysis revealed the presence of nifB1H1D1K1 gene organization in the 4,607-bp SacI DNA fragment. This is the first report of linkage of a nifB open reading frame upstream of the structural nif genes. The second (nifB2H2) and third (nifH3) nif homologues are confined within the 6,350-bp HindIII and 2,840-bp EcoRI DNA fragments, respectively. Phylogenetic analysis demonstrated that NifH1 and NifH2 form a monophyletic group among cyanobacterial NifH proteins. NifH3, on the other hand, clusters among NifH proteins of the highly divergent methanogenic archaea.

ABSTRACT More than 100,000 interstitial segments of DNA (internal eliminated sequences [IESs]) are excised from the genome during the formation of a new macronucleus in Euplotes crassus. IESs include unique sequence DNA as well as two related families of transposable elements, Tec1 and Tec2. Here we describe a new class of E. crassus transposons, Tec3, which is present in 20 to 30 copies in the micronuclear genome. Tec3 elements have long inverted terminal repeats and contain a degenerate open reading frame encoding a tyrosine-type recombinase. One characterized copy of Tec3 (Tec3-1) is 4.48 kbp long, has 1.23-kbp inverted terminal repeats, and resides within the micronuclear copy of the ribosomal protein L29 gene (RPL29). The 23 bp at the extreme ends of this element are very similar to those in other E. crassus IESs and, like these other IESs, Tec3-1 is excised during the polytene chromosome stage of macronuclear development to generate a free circular form with an unusual junction structure. In contrast, a second cloned element, Tec3-2, is quite similar to Tec3-1 but lacks the terminal 258 bp of the inverted repeats, so that its ends do not resemble the other E. crassus IES termini. The Tec3-2 element appears to reside in a large segment of the micronuclear genome that is subject to developmental elimination. Models for the origins of these two types of Tec3 elements are presented, along with a discussion of how some members of this new transposon family may have come to be excised by the same machinery that removes other E. crassus IESs.
