| 英文摘要 | Magnetotactic bacteria (MTB) synthesize unique organelles termed "magnetosomes," which are membrane-enclosed structures containing crystals of magnetite or greigite. Magnetosomes form a chain around MamK cytoskeletal filaments and provide the basis for the ability of MTB to navigate along geomagnetic field lines in order to find optimal microaerobic habitats. Genomes of species of the MTB genus Magnetospirillum, in addition to a gene encoding the tubulin-like FtsZ protein (involved in cell division), contain a second gene termed "ftsZ-like," whose function is unknown. In the present study, we found that the ftsZ-like gene of Magnetospirillum gryphiswaldense strain MSR-1 belongs to a 4.9-kb mamXY polycistronic transcription unit. We then purified the recombinant FtsZ-like protein to homogeneity. The FtsZ-like protein efficiently hydrolyzed ATP and GTP, with ATPase and GTPase activity levels of 2.17 and 5.56 mu mol phosphorus per mol protein per min, respectively. The FtsZ-like protein underwent GTP-dependent polymerization into long filamentous bundles in vitro. To determine the role of the ftsZ-like gene, we constructed a ftsZ-like mutant (Delta ftsZ-like mutant) and its complementation strain (Delta ftsZ-like_C strain). Growth of Delta ftsZ-like cells was similar to that of the wild type, indicating that the Delta ftsZ-like gene is not involved in cell division. Transmission electron microscopic observations indicated that the Delta ftsZ-like cells, in comparison to wild-type cells, produced smaller magnetosomes, with poorly defined morphology and irregular alignment, including large gaps. Magnetic analyses showed that Delta ftsZ-like produced mainly superparamagnetic (SP) magnetite particles, whereas wildtype and Delta ftsZ-like_C cells produced mainly single-domain (SD) particles. Our findings suggest that the FtsZ-like protein is required for synthesis of SD particles and magnetosomes in M. gryphiswaldense. |
