Partial sequence of Pseudomonas glumae-specific DNA fragment possibly encoding amino acid sequence homologous to RhsD core product
Phytopathology 86 (11 suppl.), S77-S77
Abstract: A previously described 5,7 kilobase EcoRI fragment, PG21, specific to the strains of Pseudomonas glumae causing bacterial grain rot of rice, was partially sequenced. The DNA fragment sequenced was 2,256-bp long. Sequence analysis revealed that one of the reading frames might be a part of large open reading frame (ORF). DNA homology search did not find the sequence homologous to the 2,256-bp fragment. However, the deduced amino acid sequence of the reading frame had significant homology with that of RhsD core which was considered to be involved in the rearrangement of chromosome of E. coli. The deduced sequence had also a repeated motif GxxxRYxYDxxGRL as found in RhsD core. The results suggest the presence of DNA element in P. glumae similar to RhsD gene of E. coli associated with rearrangement of chromosome.
