Distinguishing features of δ-proteobacterial genomes

Abstract: We analyzed several features of five currently available ␦-proteobacterial genomes, including two aerobic bacteria exhibiting predatory behavior and three anaerobic sulfate-reducing bacteria. The ␦ genomes are distinguished from other bacteria by several properties: (i) The ␦ genomes contain two ''giant'' S1 ribosomal protein genes in contrast to all other bacterial types, which encode a single or no S1; (ii) in most ␦-proteobacterial genomes the major ribosomal protein (RP) gene cluster is near the replicatio… Show more

“…In E. coli and mitochondria, the products of these genes are thought to degrade misfolded and damaged proteins, allowing their amino acids to be recycled (68,69), but in M. xanthus they could be used for feeding. Second, an examination of the whole genome for genes with codon-usage frequencies that are similar to the genes encoding ribosomal proteins (the mark of ''highly expressed genes'') indicates that many M. xanthus ATP-dependent proteases and many chaperones were highly expressed (70). They are as highly expressed by M. xanthus as its tricarboxylic acid cycle enzymes and electron transport proteins.…”

“…The E. coli FtsH protein is an integral inner membrane protein that projects its ATPase domain into the periplasm. If the M. xanthus FtsH protein, one of its most highly expressed proteins (70), is similar, it would be in a position to draw denatured prey proteins into its protease cavity (71). ␦-Proteobacteria generally possess large, multiprotein networks in their periplasm involved in generating energy, like the hydrogen oxidase complex of De.…”

“…It follows that the strength of codon usage bias in a gene can be used to make predictions about its expression level. Karlin and colleagues have devised a codon usage statistic termed E(g), the ''expression measure'' of a gene, which they have used in attempts to identify predicted highly expressed (PHX) genes in a wide range of prokaryotic genomes Mrazek 2000, 2001;Karlin et al , 2003Karlin et al , 2004Karlin et al , 2005Karlin et al , 2006Mrazek et al 2001Mrazek et al , 2006Ma et al 2002). Here we discuss problems with the E(g) statistic and with its application to diverse species.…”
