Plasmids are widely distributed in rhizobia, a group of bacteria able to establish symbiotic relationships with the roots of legume plants. Two types of conjugative transfer (CT) regulation of these elements have been described in more detail. The most prevalent is through Quorum-Sensing (QS), mediated by the interaction of the TraR regulator protein and its cognate acyl-homoserine lactone (AHL) synthesized by TraI. In this study, we analyzed rhizobial plasmids classified according to their TraR regulators into four different groups. Each group has a particular genomic architecture. In one of the groups (I-C), represented by pLPU83a from Rhizobium favelukesii LPU83, CT induction requires TraR. With manual annotation, a traI was located in the plasmid distant to the traR gene. These features make pLPU83a an interesting plasmid for studying novel mechanisms of CT regulation. We mutagenized the traI gene, and found that it does not participate in CT regulation. Furthermore, we studied whether pLPU83a is subject to QS regulation by determining CT at different growth stages (cell densities). Our results showed no positive correlation between increase in culture densities and CT induction, on the contrary a slight decrease in CT was found at higher culture densities, unlike other TraR-depending plasmids. Our results show that transfer of pLPU83a is not regulated in a QS-dependent manner, and suggest that molecules not yet identified may activate its CT. Also, accumulation of a putative inhibitor cannot be disregarded.

深入了解pLPU83a的结构,功能和共轭转移,pLPU83a是恶性根瘤菌LPU83的辅助质粒。

质粒广泛分布于根瘤菌中,这是一组能够与豆类植物根部建立共生关系的细菌。这些元素的两种类型的共轭转移(CT)调节已被更详细地描述。最普遍的是通过Quorum-Sensing(QS),由TraR调节蛋白与TraI合成的其关联的酰基-高丝氨酸内酯(AHL)相互作用介导。在这项研究中,我们分析了根瘤菌质粒,根据其TraR调节子​​分为四个不同的组。每个组都有特定的基因组架构。在一组(IC)中,以favelukesii LPU83的pLPU83a为代表,CT诱导需要TraR。通过手动注释,将traI定位在距traR基因较远的质粒中。这些特性使pLPU83a成为研究CT调控新机制的有趣质粒。我们诱变了traI基因,发现它不参与CT调控。此外,我们通过确定不同生长阶段(细胞密度)的CT,研究了pLPU83a是否受QS调节。我们的结果显示培养密度的增加与CT诱导之间没有正相关,相反,与其他依赖TraR的质粒不同,在较高培养密度下CT略有下降。我们的结果表明,pLPU83a的转移未以QS依赖的方式受到调控,并表明尚未鉴定的分子可能会激活其CT。同样,不能忽略推定抑制剂的积累。并发现它不参与CT调节。此外,我们通过确定不同生长阶段(细胞密度)的CT,研究了pLPU83a是否受QS调节。我们的结果显示培养密度的增加与CT诱导之间没有正相关,相反,与其他依赖TraR的质粒不同,在较高培养密度下CT略有下降。我们的结果表明,pLPU83a的转移未以QS依赖的方式受到调控,并表明尚未鉴定的分子可能会激活其CT。同样,不能忽略推定抑制剂的积累。并发现它不参与CT调节。此外,我们通过确定不同生长阶段(细胞密度)的CT,研究了pLPU83a是否受QS调节。我们的结果显示培养密度的增加与CT诱导之间没有正相关,相反,与其他依赖TraR的质粒不同,在更高的培养密度下CT略有下降。我们的结果表明,pLPU83a的转移未以QS依赖的方式受到调控,并表明尚未鉴定的分子可能会激活其CT。同样,不能忽略推定抑制剂的积累。相反,与其他依赖TraR的质粒不同,在较高培养密度下CT略有下降。我们的结果表明,pLPU83a的转移未以QS依赖的方式受到调控,并表明尚未鉴定的分子可能会激活其CT。同样,不能忽略推定抑制剂的积累。相反,与其他依赖TraR的质粒不同,在较高培养密度下CT略有下降。我们的结果表明,pLPU83a的转移未以QS依赖的方式受到调控,并表明尚未鉴定的分子可能会激活其CT。同样,不能忽略推定抑制剂的积累。
