The nodFEL and nodMNT operons in Rhizobium leguminosarum biovar viciae are transcribed in the same orientation and induced by NodD in response to flavonoids secreted by legumes. In the narrow intergenic region between nodFEL and nodMNT, we identified a small gene divergently transcribed from nodM to the 3' end of nodL. Unlike the promoters upstream of nodF and nodM, the promoter of this gene is constitutively expressed. It appeared that its promoter might partially overlap with that of nodM and its expression was repressed by nodD. A deletion mutation was made and proteins produced by the mutant were compared with those by wild-type using 2D gel electrophoresis. Several protein differences were identified suggesting that this small gene influences the expression or stability of these proteins. However, the mutant nodulated its host plant (pea) normally.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D007887 Fabaceae The large family of plants characterized by pods. Some are edible and some cause LATHYRISM or FAVISM and other forms of poisoning. Other species yield useful materials like gums from ACACIA and various LECTINS like PHYTOHEMAGGLUTININS from PHASEOLUS. Many of them harbor NITROGEN FIXATION bacteria on their roots. Many but not all species of "beans" belong to this family.
