Areas of Interest and Current Research Projects:

All of the projects outlined below involve genetic analysis of the bacterium, Salmonella typhimurium. While the projects have distinct goals, they are related in the methods and general approaches used.

1) Recombination and chromosome rearrangements - This project was initiated in an attempt to better understand the structure of the folded bacterial chromosome and the selective forces that have conserved the genetic map over the past 108 years (since the divergence of Salmonella and E. coli). We have found that duplications are frequent, well-tolerated and can be selectively valuable while inversions are rare and sometimes deleterious. This has suggested that the recombination system of bacteria may be structured to minimize exchanges between inverse-order repeats.

In the course of this work, we have realized that rearrangements provide a very useful system for studying the process of recombination. Repeated chromosomal sequences provide substrates that lack the double stranded ends provided by sexual assays and thus may more accurately reflect the normal role of recombination. Using duplication segregation as an assay, we have found that the RecBC and RecF pathways seem to operate on distinct types of initiating damage. We have also found evidence that reactive oxygen species generated by oxitative metabolism are the major source of DNA damage for initiating sister strand recombination. Recombination between separated direct-order repeats allows one to observe reciprocality of recombination; a reciprocal exchange generates two cells, one with a deletion and the other with a duplication of the intervening region. Thus far we estimate that about 25% of sister strand exchanges are reciprocal. Reciprocal recombination between inverse-order sequences seems to be prohibited when the intervening region includes a replication terminatioin (TER) site. This suggests that intrachromosomal recombination may initiate extensive chromosomal replication.

We have also been using P22-mediated transduction to develop new recombination assays. It is our general belief that there is still a role for genetic analysis in the study of recombination, and in assessing the biological role of known recombination proteins.

2) Synthesis and significance of cobalamin (B12) - This cofactor is unevenly distributed among living things, suggesting that it might be associated with particular lifestyles or growth conditions. We discovered that Salmonella dedicates about 1% of its genome to B12 production and import, suggesting frequent use of the cofactor under natural conditions. Under standard laboratory conditions, there is no growth phenotype associated with B12 deficiency. Recently we have found that during anaerobic growth using tetrationate as electron acceptor, Salmonella uses endogenous B12 to support respiration of propanediol and ethanolamine. We are using genetics to approach the synthetic pathway of B12 and it's regulation. We are also studying the structure and control of the two operon that encode degradative enzymes for ethanolamine (eut) and propanediol (pdu).

3) Recycling of NAD - While NAD is well known as an electron carrier, it also energizes DNA ligation and supports the potentially dangerous Fenton reaction which generates OH radicals from H2O2. We are trying to understand the synthesis and recycling of NAD and how it relates to energy metabolism, DNA repair and oxidative stress. The large NAD pool is subject to breakdown to NMN which is recycled to NAD through two pathways. The ligase-dependent NAD breakdown is only about 20% of the NMN production under aerobic conditions. The rest of the cycle is eliminated during anaerobic growth by unknown reactions. In pursuit of this major metabolic cycle we have isolated mutants for almost every known step of NAD synthesis and metabolism. We have discovered two NAD kinases (producing NADP) and we have found that a deficit in NAD kinase leads to oxygen-sensitivity and inability to grow on glucose. We have recently discovered a recycling activity (NMN deamidase) that depends on DNA ligase and acts only in the presence of oxygen. Thus oxygen appears to be a major player in control and significance of the recycling pathway.

4) Adaptive mutation - We got involved in this controversial but very interesting area because of a model we developed in which gene amplification is an intermediate in the reversion process. In testing the model, we first found that the system used to demonstrate "adaptive mutation" requires that the gene under selection be located on an F' plasmid and subject to transfer replication. We later found that reversion of the plasmid-borne gene (both in Salmonella and E. coli) involves intermediate amplification. We found evidence for adaptive mutation of chromosomal genes and demonstrated that the delayed appearance of clones formed by pre-existing mutants could be explained by competition between revertants and parental cells. Our working hypothesis is that all the rare systems that appear to show stimulation of mutation by stress will prove to be explainable by standard bacterial physiology and genetics and will not reflect evolved mechanisms to deliberately mutagenize the genome.
