Project description:Integrative and conjugative elements (ICEs), a.k.a., conjugative transposons, are mobile genetic elements involved in many biological processes, including the spread of antibiotic resistance. Unlike conjugative plasmids that are extra-chromosomal and replicate autonomously, ICEs are integrated in the chromosome and replicate passively during chromosomal replication. It is generally thought that ICEs do not replicate autonomously. We found that when induced, Bacillus subtilis ICEBs1 replicates as a plasmid. The ICEBs1 origin of transfer (oriT) served as the origin of replication and the conjugal DNA relaxase served as the replication initiation protein. Autonomous replication of ICEBs1 conferred genetic stability to the excised element, but was not required for mating. The B. subtilis helicase PcrA that mediates unwinding and replication of Gram-positive rolling circle replicating plasmids was required for ICEBs1 replication and mating. Nicking of oriT by the relaxase and unwinding by PcrA likely directs transfer of a single-strand of ICEBs1 into recipient cells. This SuperSeries is composed of the SubSeries listed below.

Project description:Antimicrobial exposure can potentially lead to increased antimicrobial resistance plasmid transfer. RNA sequencing data was collected from conjugal pairs of Salmonella enterica and Escherichia coli exposed or not exposed to tetracycline over a time course to determine differences in transcript numbers associated with conjugation and tetracycline exposure. The samples were sequenced on the Illumina HiSeq X10 platform with the 150-bp paired-end kit. Among the most highly up-regulated genes in the tetracycline exposed samples were also tetracycline efflux pump genes across the timepoints. In addition, some conjugal transfer-associated genes (e.g. traJ and traA) were upregulated in the tetracycline exposed samples.

Project description:H. jecorina undergoes a heterothallic reproductive cycle, and the mating yields asci with 16 linearly arranged ascospores. The sixteen ascospores are generated via two rounds of postmeiotic mitosis following the two meiotic divisions. We have discovered that viable aneuploid ascosporesare are frequently (~90%) generated due to a net gain of a conserved ~500 kbp genomic segment. Here we have compared whole genome gene copy number changes in the aneuploid F1 progeny, euploid F1 progeny, parental strains and the F1 progeny of RTU strain backcross with CBS999.97 .

We determined genome-wide gene copy number in the genomes of ascospores generated from haploid wild-type strain. We also determined genome-wide gene copy number in the genomes of the F1 progeny of CBS999.97 wild type.

Project description:In sexual organisms, random meiotic recombination between homologous chromosomes is vital to maximize genetic variation among offspring. The sex-determining region (SDR), however, does not undergo recombination, as required for the maintenance of distinct alleles. The contribution of epigenetic versus genetic mechanisms to suppress recombination in SDRs and how the suppression mechanisms evolve remain poorly understood. Here we describe the mechanistic control of meiotic recombination at the mating-type locus (MT) in the green alga Chlamydomonas reinhardtii. We identify a maintenance DNA methyltransferase, DNMT1, mutation of which leads to the depletion of 95% of 5-methylcytosines (5mCs) in the nuclear genome. While the 5mC deficiency causes no discernible alteration in haploid vegetative growth or sexual differentiation, the dnmt1 homozygotes display substantially reduced spore viability and 4-progeny-tetrad frequency. Strikingly, in dnmt1 homozygotes, anomalous meiotic recombination takes place at MT, generating haploid progenies with mixed mating-type harboring both plus and minus markers. Although the repressive histone methylation H3K9me1 at MT is lost concurrently in dnmt1 strains, loss of histone methylation alone by gene deletion of the responsible histone methyltransferase SET3p does not lead to anomalous recombination at MT. Thus, DNA methylation, rather than histone modification, mediates the recombination suppression at MT in C. reinhardtii. This finding suggests that in early eukaryotes, which likely lacked histone-based chromatin modification, DNA methylation may have been co-opted to suppress meiotic recombination between alleles responsible for separate sexes.
