Exchange of Genetic Information

Mutations in Bacteria Mutations arise in bacterial populations Induced Spontaneous Rare mutations are expressed Bacteria are haploid Rapid growth rate Selective advantage enriches for mutants Gene transfer occurs in bacteria

General Features of Gene Transfer in Bacteria Unidirectional Donor to recipient Donor does not give an entire chromosome Merozygotes Gene transfer can occur between species

Transformation Definition: Gene transfer resulting from the uptake of DNA from a donor. Factors affecting transformation DNA size and state Sensitive to nucleases Competence of the recipient (Bacillus, Haemophilus, Neisseria, Streptococcus) Competence factor Induced competence

Transformation Steps Significance Uptake of DNA Recombination Gram + Gram - Recombination Legitimate, homologous or general recA, recB and recC genes Significance Phase variation in Neiseseria Recombinant DNA technology

Transduction Definition: Gene transfer from a donor to a recipient by way of a bacteriophage

Phage Composition and Structure Nucleic acid Genome size Modified bases Protein Protection Infection Head/Capsid Contractile Sheath Tail Structure (T4) Size Head or capsid Tail Tail Fibers Base Plate

Infection of Host Cells by Phages Adsorption LPS for T4 Irreversible attachment Sheath Contraction Nucleic acid injection DNA uptake

Types of Bacteriophage Lytic or virulent – Phage that multiply within the host cell, lyse the cell and release progeny phage (e.g. T4) Lysogenic or temperate phage: Phage that can either multiply via the lytic cycle or enter a quiescent state in the bacterial cell. (e.g., ) Expression of most phage genes repressed Prophage Lysogen

Events Leading to Lysogeny Circularization of the phage chromosome Cohesive ends Cohesive Ends Linear Double Stranded Opened Circle Lygase Closed Circle

Events Leading to Lysogeny gal bio Site-specific recombination Phage coded enzyme Repression of the phage genome Repressor protein Specific Immunity to superinfection

Termination of Lysogeny Induction Adverse conditions Role of proteases recA protein Destruction of repressor gal bio gal bio gal bio Gene expression gal bio Excision Lytic growth

Transduction Definition: Gene transfer from a donor to a recipient by way of a bacteriophage Resistant to environmental nucleases

Transduction Types of transduction Generalized - Transduction in which potentially any donor bacterial gene can be transferred

Generalized Transduction Infection of Donor Phage replication and degradation of host DNA Assembly of phages particles Release of phage Infection of recipient Legitimate recombination

Transduction Types of transduction Generalized - Transduction in which potentially any dornor bacterial gene can be transferred. Specialized - Transduction in which only certain donor genes can be transferred

Specialized Transduction Lysogenic Phage Excision of the prophage gal bio Replication and release of phage Infection of the recipient Lysogenization of the recipient Legitimate recombination also possible

Transduction Definition Types of transduction Significance Common in Gram+ bacteria Lysogenic (phage) conversion

Conjugation Donor Definition: Gene transfer from a donor to a recipient by direct physical contact between cells Mating types in bacteria Donor F factor (Fertility factor) F (sex) pilus Recipient Recipient Lacks an F factor

Physiological States of F Factor Autonomous (F+) Characteristics of F+ x F- crosses F- becomes F+ while F+ remains F+ Low transfer of donor chromosomal genes F+

Physiological States of F Factor Integrated (Hfr) Characteristics of Hfr x F- crosses F- rarely becomes Hfr while Hfr remains Hfr High transfer of certain donor chromosomal genes F+ Hfr

Physiological States of F Factor Autonomous with donor genes (F’) Characteristics of F’ x F- crosses F- becomes F’ while F’ remains F’ High transfer of donor genes on F’ and low transfer of other donor chromosomal genes Hfr F’

Mechanism of F+ x F- Crosses Pair formation Conjugation bridge F+ F- DNA transfer Origin of transfer Rolling circle replication

Mechanism of Hfr x F- Crosses Pair formation Conjugation bridge Hfr F- DNA transfer Origin of transfer Rolling circle replication Homologous recombination

Mechanism of F’ x F- Crosses Pair formation Conjugation bridge F’ F- DNA transfer Origin of transfer Rolling circle replication

Conjugation Significance Gram - bacteria Gram + bacteria Antibiotic resistance Rapid spread Gram + bacteria Production of adhesive material by donor cells

Transposable Genetic Elements Definition: Segments of DNA that are able to move from one location to another Properties “Random” movement Not capable of self replication Transposition mediated by site-specific recombination Transposase Transposition may be accompanied by duplication

Types of Transposable Genetic Elements Insertion sequences (IS) Definition: Elements that carry no other genes except those involved in transposition Nomenclature - IS1 Structure Importance Mutation Plasmid insertion Phase variation Transposase ABCDEFG GFEDCBA

Phase Variation in Salmonella H Antigens H1 gene H2 gene IS H1 flagella H2 flagella

Types of Transposable Genetic Elements Transposons (Tn) Definition: Elements that carry other genes except those involved in transposition Nomenclature - Tn10 Structure Composite Tns IS Resistance Gene(s) Importance Antibiotic resistance

Plasmids Definition: Extrachromosomal genetic elements that are capable of autonomous replication (replicon) Episome - a plasmid that can integrate into the chromosome

Classification of Plasmids Transfer properties Conjugative Nonconjugative Phenotypic effects Fertility Bacteriocinogenic plasmid Resistance plasmid (R factors)

Structure of R Factors RTF R determinant Conjugative plasmid Tn 9 Tn 21 Tn 10 Tn 8 RTF R determinant RTF Conjugative plasmid Transfer genes R determinant Resistance genes Transposons
