英文摘要

Mesorhizobium alhagi CCNWXJ12-2(T), isolated from root nodules of the desert plant Alhagi sparsifolia, contains two type III secretion systems (T3SSs). T3SSs are specialized machinery with wide distribution in bacteria that inject effector proteins into target cells. Our previous study showed that the expression of M. alhagi T3SS1 is upregulated in high-salt conditions. Here, phylogenetic analysis of T3SS1 using the core protein RhcU suggested that T3SS1 belongs to the alpha-Rhc II subgroup of the Rhc T3SS family. To elaborate the function of M. alhagi CCNWXJ12-2T T3SS1 in stress adaption, two T3SS1 mutants (Delta rhcQ and Delta MA29250) were constructed and analyzed. beta-galactosidase transcriptional fusion assays showed that activity of the promoter of T3SS1 was induced by salts. Mutant Delta rhcQ was more sensitive to NaCl and LiCl than the wild-type, but Delta MA29250 was not. Both mutants were more sensitive to KCl than the wild-type. The intracellular Na+ concentration in Delta rhcQ in high-NaCl conditions (0.4 M) increased by 37% compared to that of the wild-type strain, while the Na+ concentration in Delta MA29250 increased by 13%. The K+ concentration in both mutants increased by 16% compared to the wild-type in high-KCl conditions (0.3 M). Strain Delta rhcQ showed decreased survival compared to the wild-type after treatment with H2O2, while the survival rate of Delta MA29250 was almost the same as that of the wild-type. Antioxidant enzyme activities in Delta rhcQ were lower than those in the wild-type strain, but this was not the case for Delta MA29250. Our data elucidate the beneficial effects of T3SS1 in the adaption of M. alhagi CCNWXJ12-2(T) to stress.
