摘要

Transposon Tn916 was used to insertionally inactivate a coaggregation-relevant locus of Streptococcus gordonii DL1 (Challis). One mutant (F11) was isolated that lost the ability to coaggregate with the streptococcal partners of DL1 but retained the ability to coaggregate with partners belonging to other genera. A probe specific for the region flanking the Tn916 insertion was used to isolate a locus-specific fragment from a chromosomal lambda library. Southern analysis of the resulting phagemids revealed that a 0.5-kb EcoRI fragment hybridized with the F11 probe. Cloning of the 0.5-kb EcoRI fragment into the E. coli-streptococcal insertion vector p(omega) yielded pCW4, which was used to insertionally inactivate the putative coaggregation-relevant gene in DL1. Insertion mutants showed altered coaggregation with streptococci but retained wild-type coaggregation properties with other genera of bacteria. Comparison of immunoblots of cell surface proteins showed a 100-kDa protein in DL1 which was not detected in the Tn916 and pCW4 insertion mutants. These results indicate that the 0.5-kb EcoRI fragment is part of an adhesin-relevant locus that is involved in the production of a 100-kDa protein at the cell surface.
