Abstract/OtherAbstract:
The Tn5 insertion into the genome of Rhizobium leguminosarum bv viciae VF39, resulting in non-mucoid growth and formation of non-N2-fixing nodule-like structures on Vicia faba plants, was mapped within a 1.4-kb EcoRV-SacI fragment. Nucleotide sequence analysis revealed an ORF (pss4) of 263 amino acids (aa). Three transcription start points (tsp) were determined. Two of them were localized upstream from the first GTG codon; the third tsp was mapped in front of the second putative start codon (GTG) corresponding to Val64 of the Pss4 aa sequence. The expression of pss4 in a T7 RNA polymerase/promoter system produced a single approx. 29-kDa protein. Pss4 reveals similarity to several proteins involved in polysaccharide biosynthesis in various Rhizobium species. A nearly complete homology was found with PssA from Rl biovar phaseoli 8002 [Borthakur et al., Mol. Gen. Genet. 213 (1988) 155-162], except that Pss4 has an additional 63 aa on its N terminus.
