Polar Effects of Transposon Insertion into a Minimal Bacterial Genome

Hutchison, Clyde A., Merryman, Chuck, Sun, Lijie, Assad-Garcia, Nacyra, Richter, R. Alexander, Smith, Hamilton O., Glass, John I.·2019·Journal of Bacteriology

Abstract

In studies of the minimal genetic requirements for life, we used global transposon mutagenesis to identify genes needed for a minimal bacterial genome. Transposon insertion can disrupt the function of a gene but can also have polar effects on the expression of adjacent genes. In the Tn 5 -Puro r construct used in our studies, read-through transcription from Tn 5 -Puro r can drive expression of downstream genes. This results in a preference for Tn 5 -Puro r insertions transcribed toward a downstream essential or quasi-essential gene within the same operon. Such polar effects can have an impact on the classification of genes as essential, quasi-essential, or nonessential, but this has been observed in only a few cases. Also, polar effects of Tn 5 -Puro r insertion can sometimes give clues to gene function.

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.
