Abstract：
:The dnaN gene in eubacteria is an essential gene that encodes the beta subunit of replicative DNA polymerase. Nearly all eubacterial genomes sequenced to date predict a single copy of the dnaN gene in a well-conserved neighboring gene context. However, 19 genomes out of 348 scanned, including Bacillus anthracis, Bacillus cereus, Bacillus thuringiensis, and Bacillus weihenstephanensis, predict more than one dnaN gene. In most cases, these genomes appear to maintain a copy of the dnaN homolog in its usual neighboring gene context (designated as dnaN1) in addition to a second copy (designated as dnaN2) in an entirely different gene context. We used B. anthracis as our model system to investigate the role of these DnaNs. We constructed a single knockout mutant of dnaN1 and of dnaN2; however, we could not make a viable double knockout mutant of dnaN1 and dnaN2. The dnaN1 knockout mutant displays a markedly reduced colony size. It also displays a significantly increased mutation rate, which is similar to that of a mismatch repair deficient strain and to a strain deficient both in dnaN1 and mismatch repair. The dnaN2 knockout mutant, however, has a similar growth rate and a comparable mutation rate to that of the wild type. This is the first study demonstrating the existence of two functional DnaN homologs in the B. anthracis genome, with DnaN1 appearing to be more crucial than DnaN2. Our results also suggest the direct involvement of DnaN1 in the DNA mismatch repair process, which is consistent with previous findings.
