Abstract

Sulfur is essential for life on Earth, but its availability is limited in many environments. Here the sulfur-starvation response of the model soil bacterium Pseudomonas putida KT2440 is shown to be associated with an approximately fivefold reduction in the total soluble thiol content of the cell. A bioinformatic survey of the P. putida KT2440 genome identified 646 genes encoding proteins with a significantly lower than average sulfur content (low sulfur-content proteins, LSPs), the expression of which may have a role in the global reduction of cellular thiol content during sulfur starvation. Analysis of the genetic organization of the LSP-encoding genes showed that 31% were potentially transcriptionally associated with at least one other gene encoding a protein defined as an LSP. In particular, 55 LSP genes were located in three large clusters, termed low-sulfur islands (LSIs) here. The predicted identities of the proteins encoded by the LSIs strongly suggest that the LSIs have a role in acquiring sulfur from organic sulfur sources during sulfur starvation. This hypothesis was supported by transcription fusion studies on a limited number of LSP promoters under low-sulfur conditions. In a wider survey of bacterial species, LSIs were found to be more prevalent in free-living, Gram-negative bacteria than in Gram-positive or obligately intracellular bacteria.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
