Evaluation of Plasmid Stability by Negative Selection in Gram-negative Bacteria

[Abstract]  Plasmid stability can be measured using antibiotic-resistance plasmid derivatives by positive selection. However, highly stable plasmids are below the sensitivity range of these assays. To solve this problem we describe a novel, highly sensitive method to measure plasmid stability based on the selection of plasmid-free cells following elimination of plasmid-containing cells. The assay proposed here is based on an aph-parE cassette. When synthesized in the cell, the ParE toxin induces cell death. ParE synthesis is controlled by a rhamnose-inducible promoter. When bacteria carrying the aph-parE module are grown in media containing rhamnose as the only carbon source, ParE is synthesized and plasmid-containing cells are eliminated. Kanamycin resistance (aph) is ... [摘要]  可以通过阳性选择使用抗生素抗性质粒衍生物来测量质粒稳定性。然而,高度稳定的质粒低于这些测定的灵敏度范围。为了解决这个问题,我们描述了一种新颖的,高度灵敏的方法来测量质粒稳定性,这是基于在含有质粒的细胞消除后,无质粒细胞的选择。这里提出的检测方法是基于aph-parE 盒式磁带。当细胞合成时,ParE毒素诱导细胞死亡。 ParE合成由鼠李糖诱导型启动子控制。当携带 aph-parE 模块的细菌生长在含有鼠李糖作为唯一碳源的培养基中时,合成ParE,消除含有质粒的细胞。进一步使用卡那霉素抗性( aph )来证实在鼠李糖生长的细菌中不存在质粒。

背景 通过使用抗生素抗性质粒衍生物的阳性选择测定质粒稳定性。携带研究质粒的​​细胞在选择性抗生素(Gerdes等人,1985; del Solar等人,1987)的存在下被阳性选择。这种技术的主要缺点是其灵敏度;高度稳定的质粒低于这些测定的敏感性。为了解决这个问题,已经描述了依靠直接选择无质粒细胞例如 - 四环素系统的替代方法(Bochner等人,1980; Maloy和Nunn,1981; Garcia-Quintanilla 等人,2006)。 - ...

In vitro Real-time Measurement of the Intra-bacterial Redox Potential

[Abstract]  All bacteria that live in oxygenated environments have to deal with oxidative stress caused by some form of exogenous or endogenous reactive oxygen species (ROS) (Imlay, 2013). Large quantities of ROS damage DNA, lipids and proteins which can eventually lead to bacterial cell death (Imlay, 2013). In contrast, smaller quantities of ROS can play more sophisticated roles in cellular signalling pathways affecting almost every process in the bacterial cell e.g. metabolism, stress responses, transcription, protein synthesis, etc. Previously, inadequate analytical methods prevented appropriate analysis of the intra-bacterial redox potential. Herein, we describe a method for the measurement of real-time changes to the intra-bacterial redox potential using redox-sensitive GFP ... [摘要]  所有存在氧合环境中的细菌都必须处理由某种形式的外源性或内源性活性氧(ROS)引起的氧化应激(Imlay,2013)。大量的ROS损伤DNA,脂质和蛋白质,其可以最终导致细菌细胞死亡(Imlay,2013)。相反,较少量的ROS可以在细胞信号传导途径中发挥更复杂的作用,影响几乎细菌细胞中的每一个过程,例如,代谢,应激反应,转录,蛋白质合成等 。以前,不充分的分析方法阻止了细菌内氧化还原电位的适当分析。在本文中,我们描述了使用氧化还原敏感性GFP(roGFP2)测量细菌内氧化还原电位的实时变化的方法(van der Heijden等人,2015)。 roGFP2蛋白被工程改造成含有特定的半胱氨酸残基,其在氧化时形成内部二硫键,导致蛋白构象的轻微改变(Hanson等人,2004)。这种移位导致两种不同的蛋白质同种型在分别在405nm和480nm下激发后具有不同的荧光激发光谱。因此,相应的405/480nm比率可以用作细菌内氧化还原电位的量度。比率量度分析排除了由于roGFP2浓度差异引起的变化,并且由于构象变化是可逆的,因此系统允许测量氧化以及还原条件。在该方案中,我们通过测量鼠伤寒沙门氏菌(鼠伤寒沙门氏菌)内的细菌内氧化还原电位来描述该系统,但该系统可以调整用于其他革兰氏阴性菌。
