Abstract

International audience; Transposable elements belonging to the recently identified IS200/IS605 family radically differ from classical insertion sequences in their transposition mechanism by strictly requiring single-stranded DNA substrates. This IS family includes elements encoding only the transposase (TnpA), and others, like ISDra2 from Deinococcus radiodurans, which contain a second gene, tnpB, dispensable for transposition and of unknown function to date. Here, we show that TnpB has an inhibitory effect on the excision and insertion steps of ISDra2 transposition. This inhibitory action of TnpB was maintained when ISDra2 transposition was induced by γ-irradiation of the host cells and required the integrity of its putative zinc finger motif. We also demonstrate the negative role of TnpB when ISDra2 transposition was monitored in a heterologous Escherichia coli host, indicating that TnpB-mediated inhibition does not involve Deinococcus-specific factors. TnpB therefore appears to play a regulatory role in ISDra2 transposition.

Abstract

The "two-component" FixLJ system activates nitrogen fixation genes via nifA and fixK in Sinorhizobium meliloti. Like other response regulators, the FixJ protein can be decomposed into an N-terminal phosphorylatable "receiver" domain FixJN and a C-terminal transcriptional activator domain FixJC. The FixJN receiver domain was known to regulate activity of FixJC negatively at the nifA promoter. Here we show a different situation at the fixK promoter where FixJN also contributes positively to transcriptional activation. This promoter-specific effect was mapped by alanine-scanning mutagenesis to the beta2 strand of the receiver domain. This interaction with FixJN is required for the recruitment of RNA polymerase at the fixK promoter by phosphorylated FixJ. Altogether the FixJ receiver domain appears to carry at least four functions, some of which can be separated by mutation: (1) autophosphorylation; (2) inhibition of FixJC; (3) dimerization; (4) transcriptional activation at pfixK. This example illustrates the formidable functional plasticity of receiver domains.

Abstract

Fragmentation of Streptococcus pneumoniae genomic DNA with low-frequency-cleavage restriction endonucleases and separation of the fragments by field-inversion gel electrophoresis (FIGE) provides a DNA-fingerprint of a strain. This method enables us to construct a physical and genetic map of the R6 laboratory strain what will be presented. The origin of replication containing several Dna boxes was located in the dnaA region. It was of interest to compare the profiles of subclones. Two clones of strain R36A (R6 and C13) were cultivated separately for more than 15,000 generations in two laboratories. FIGE profiles differed by only one band. Another R36A descendant, isolated in 1958 by Ravin, strain Rx was of interest since it was deficient in Dpn restriction enzymes and methylases and in the hex B function. Its origin was questionable; its profile is identical to others R6 descendants, demonstrating that Rx is derived from R36A. FIGE analysis was carried out on several penicillin-resistant strains of type 9V because penicillin-resistance in this type increased recently. The profiles of a collection of a number of these resistant isolates were very similar, showing that they result from a clone. The profiles of penicllin sensitive isolates of the same type are very similar to the resistant isolates. This suggests that the 9V type has spread recently from a clone, and the resistance genes have mutated and were selected when penicillin was extensively used.

Abstract

Isolated congenital stapes ankylosis is described in 32 operated ears from 28 patients. In 27 ears, a regular stapedectomy was performed. In the remaining 5 ears, 2 had stapes gushers, 2 had bony stapedial tendons, and 1 had an aberrant facial nerve crossing the oval window. The average individual hearing gain was 20 dB. The mean hearing gain for the 24 successful stapedectomies was 29 dB. In 24 of 32 ears (75%), an essential hearing gain of at least 15 dB Fletcher's index hearing threshold could be achieved. A Fletcher's index not exceeding 30 dB could be achieved in 19 of 32 ears (60%), in spite of several cases with a sensorineural component in the hearing loss. A review of the literature and overview of longer series with isolated congenital stapes ankylosis is presented.

Abstract

The rote played by insertion sequence IS911 proteins, OrfA and OrfAB, in the choice of a target for insertion was studied. IS911 transposition occurs in several steps: synapsis of the two transposon ends (IRR and IRL); formation of a figure-of-eight intermediate where both ends are joined by a single-strand bridge; resolution into a circular form carrying an IRR-IRL junction; and insertion into a DNA target. In vivo, with OrfAB alone, an IS911-based transposon integrated with high probability next to an IS911 end located on the target plasmid. OrfA greatly reduced the proportion of these events. This was confirmed in vitro using a transposon with a preformed IRR-IRL junction to examine the final insertion step. Addition of OrfA resulted in a large increase in insertion frequency and greatly increased the proportion of non-targeted insertions. The intermolecular reaction leading to targeted insertion may resemble the intra-molecular reaction involving figure-of-eight molecules, which leads to the formation of circles. OrfA could, therefore, be considered as a molecular switch modulating the site-specific recombination activity of OrfAB and facilitating dispersion of the insertion sequence (IS) to 'non-homologous' target sites.

Abstract

Aim of Study: To report cases from Vietnam of intestinal tuberculosis disease, which is uncommon but did not disappear in occidental countries., Materials and Methods: Seventy-six patients were included in this retrospective study. Mean age was 40 years and sex ratio M/F was 6. Diagnosis was established on pathological examination of resected specimen or on presence of Mycobacterium tuberculosis or by polymerase chain reaction., Results: Intestinal obstruction or subobstruction was the most usual symptom (68%), and thereafter peritoneal symptoms with pain and tenderness (17%). Five patients had intractable digestive haemorrhage. Thirty-six patients had no past history or active pulmonary tuberculosis (47%). Lesions of stenosis on barium enema and thickness of intestinal wall on CT-scan were not specific. Sixty-two patients were operated on (82%) and 14 were not. Surgical techniques differed according symptoms, site and type of lesions. Intestinal resections were performed in half of the patients, others undergoing stomies or enterolysis. There were eight postoperative deaths (13% of patients operated on), seven out of these deaths were attributable to cachexy. In the postoperative period, all the patients were medically treated and follow-up in the antituberculosis centre of Hanoi., Conclusion: Symptomatology and operative findings of intestinal tuberculosis are similar to those observed in Crohn's disease, and sometimes in amoeboma or lymphoma. In face of stenosis and intestinal wall thickness, probability of intestinal tuberculosis is high in endemic area, but diagnosis must be suspected in occidental countries, mainly in patients immigrated coming from these areas, patients with immuno-deficiency even if they did not have past or present pulmonary tuberculosis.
