- W2402107240 abstract "Mutants of Streptococcus mutans V403 defective in the intracellular sucrose-6-phosphate hydrolase (product of the scrB gene) are sensitive to sucrose because of the intracellular accumulation of the phosphorylated sugar. Using a scrB mutant prepared by allelic exchange, we have isolated and characterized a number of sucrose-resistant revertants. One such mutant was found to lack the ability to transport sucrose into the cell via the phosphoenolpyruvate-dependent sucrose phosphotransferase system (PTS). Genetic analysis of this strain revealed this lesion to be linked to the scrB gene. This was corroborated by the physical demonstration of an insertion mutation very near scrB. Taken together with DNA sequence information (Y. Sato, F. Poy, G. R. Jacobson, and H. K. Kuramitsu, J. Bacteriol. 171:263-271, 1989), our results indicated that all of the mutations characterized were located in the adjoining scrA gene which encodes the membrane-associated, sugar-specific enzyme II (EIIsucrose) component of the sucrose PTS in S. mutans. Biochemically, such a genetic lesion disables the sucrose PTS and prevents sucrose from entering the cell by this system. In this paper, we detail the nature of two independent insertion mutations and conclude them to be the result of duplicative transposition events into the scrA gene. This region of the chromosome was amplified and purified in large quantities by using the polymerase chain reaction. Examination of the amplified DNA revealed that the two independent insertion mutations were composed of sequences that were indistinguishable by size and by restriction site endonuclease maps. Their insertion points in the scrA gene were approximately 200 bp apart. The amplified DNA fragment was also used as a probe to demonstrate the presence of five copies of this element on the S. mutans V403 chromosome. A second strain, S. mutans V310, also was found to carry similarly arranged, multiple copies of this sequence on its chromosome, suggesting a clonal origin of V403 and V310. The small size of this sequence, its presence in multiple copies on the V403 chromosome, and its ability to duplicate itself semiconservatively into remote sites argue compellingly that it is an insertion sequence element. One such insertion mutant, with a defective sucrose PTS, was tested for virulence in rats and was found to cause caries at levels similar to those of the wild-type strain." @default.
