• W3201492031 abstract "Magnetosomes are complex membrane organelles synthesized by magnetotactic bacteria (MTB) for navigation in the Earth's magnetic field. In the alphaproteobacterium Magnetospirillum gryphiswaldense, all steps of magnetosome formation are tightly controlled by >30 specific genes arranged in several gene clusters. However, the transcriptional organization of the magnetosome gene clusters has remained poorly understood. Here, by applying Cappable-seq and whole-transcriptome shotgun RNA sequencing, we show that mamGFDCop and feoAB1op are transcribed as single transcriptional units, whereas multiple transcription start sites (TSS) are present in mms6op, mamXYop, and the long (>16 kb) mamABop. Using a bioluminescence reporter assay and promoter knockouts, we demonstrate that most of the identified TSS originate from biologically meaningful promoters which mediate production of multiple transcripts and are functionally relevant for proper magnetosome biosynthesis. In addition, we identified a strong promoter in a large intergenic region within mamXYop, which likely drives transcription of a noncoding RNA important for gene expression in this operon. In summary, our data suggest a more complex transcriptional architecture of the magnetosome operons than previously recognized, which is largely conserved in other magnetotactic Magnetospirillum species and, thus, is likely fundamental for magnetosome biosynthesis in these organisms. IMPORTANCE Magnetosomes have emerged as a model system to study prokaryotic organelles and a source of biocompatible magnetic nanoparticles for various biomedical applications. However, the lack of knowledge about the transcriptional organization of magnetosome gene clusters has severely impeded the engineering, manipulation, and transfer of this highly complex biosynthetic pathway into other organisms. Here, we provide a high-resolution image of the previously unappreciated transcriptional landscape of the magnetosome operons. Our findings are important for further unraveling the complex genetic framework of magnetosome biosynthesis. In addition, they will facilitate the rational reengineering of magnetic bacteria for improved bioproduction of tunable magnetic nanoparticles, as well as transplantation of magnetosome biosynthesis into foreign hosts by synthetic biology approaches. Overall, our study exemplifies how a genetically complex pathway is orchestrated at the transcriptional level to ensure the balanced expression of the numerous constituents required for the proper assembly of one of the most intricate prokaryotic organelles." @default.
