Comparative study of the events associated with colicin induction.

Abstract:

:Colicinogenic factors ColI and ColV, which have been shown to behave as sex factors, could not be induced with mitomycin C. In contrast, the ColE(1), ColE(2), and ColE(3) factors, which do not exhibit any fertility factor characteristics, are inducible by this agent. The induced production of colicins E(1), E(2), and E(3) was accompanied by a loss in viability at a concentration of mitomycin C which was bacteriostatic to noncolicinogenic cells or to cells carrying the ColV or ColI factors. The loss in viability accompanying the mitomycin C induction of the ColE(1), ColE(2), or ColE(3) factors also occurred when colicin synthesis was blocked by chloramphenicol or amino acid starvation. However, chloramphenicol was able to block the loss of viability of a recipient cell after mitomycin C induction of a newly acquired Col factor if the antibiotic was present throughout the mating period. No detectable internal colicin or colicin precursor could be demonstrated during the lag period prior to the appearance of colicin outside the cell 20 to 30 min after the addition of mitomycin C. If chloramphenicol was present during the lag period following the addition of mitomycin C, colicin synthesis began immediately after the removal of these antibiotics. The synthesis of tryptophan synthetase and induced beta-galactosidase proceeded normally throughout the lag period and well into the period of colicin production. Regulation of beta-galactosidase synthesis did not seem to be profoundly affected during the lag period subsequent to mitomycin C addition. Induced colicin synthesis, like bacterial or induced prophage protein synthesis, was subject to inhibition by virulent phage infection.

  • Two nifA-like genes required for expression of alternative nitrogenases by Azotobacter vinelandii.

    abstract::Two nifA-like genes, designated anfA and vnfA, have been identified in Azotobacter vinelandii. The anfA gene is located upstream from the nitrogenase-3 structural gene cluster (anfHDGK) and is preceded by a sequence that is potentially part of a ntrA-dependent promoter. The product of anfA appears to be required for e...
