Identification of a possible cytadherence regulatory locus in Mycoplasma pneumoniae

Abstract: Transposon mutagenesis was used to analyze Mycoplasma pneumoniae cytadherence. Mycoplasmas were electroporated with Tn4001, and transformants were identified by antibiotic selection using gentamicin. The resulting colonies were screened for hemadsorption (HA) as an indicator for cytadherence. Six HA ؊ colonies from independent transformations were isolated, filter cloned, and characterized in more detail. Southern hybridization analysis revealed that all six transposon insertions mapped to the same 252-kbp Apa… Show more

“…These sizes are in agreement with the physical map of the M. pneumoniae genome digested with EcoRI [26]. The 9.2-klbp EcoRl fragment from pKV8 [ 161, carrying the ~30 and hmw3 genes upstream of the hmwl gene [17], hybridized to the same 9.2-kbp EcoRI fragment in wild-type and transformant 8R genomic DNAs digested with EcoRI (data not shown).…”

“…In M. pneumoniae transformant 8R, Tn4001 was localized in 14.3-kbp BamHI and 4%kbp EcoFU fragments (Fig. 4A, lanes 3 and 4; fragment sizes reflect a subtraction of the 4.7-kbp Tn4001 sequence from the calculated molecular weights [17,23] genomes of these Mycoplasma species did not carry Tn4001 sequences ( Fig. 4A and 4B, lanes 1 and 2).…”

“…CS11301; Invitrogen) following the manufacturer's instructions. The CFU value per milliliter of each dilution was determined using a hemolytic plaque formation procedure as previously described (6). Each dilution was then tested with each assay in six replicates; values are reported in Table 1 as total CFU detected within each real-time PCR.…”
