- W4313488258 abstract "Xylella fastidiosa is an important bacterial plant pathogen causing high-consequence diseases in agricultural crops around the world. Although as a species X. fastidiosa can infect many host plants, there is significant variability between strains regarding virulence on specific host plant species and other traits. Natural competence and horizontal gene transfer are believed to occur frequently in X. fastidiosa and likely influence the evolution of this pathogen. However, some X. fastidiosa strains are difficult to manipulate genetically using standard transformation techniques. Several type I restriction-modification (R-M) systems are encoded in the X. fastidiosa genome, which may influence horizontal gene transfer and recombination. Type I R-M systems themselves may undergo recombination, exchanging target recognition domains (TRDs) between specificity subunits (hsdS) to generate novel alleles with new target specificities. In this study, several conserved type I R-M systems were compared across 129 X. fastidiosa genome assemblies representing all known subspecies and 32 sequence types. Forty-four unique TRDs were identified among 50 hsdS alleles, which are arrayed in 31 allele profiles that are generally conserved within a monophyletic cluster of strains. Inactivating mutations were identified in type I R-M systems of specific strains, showing heterogeneity in the complements of functional type I R-M systems across X. fastidiosa. Genomic DNA methylation patterns were characterized in 20 X. fastidiosa strains and associated with type I R-M system allele profiles. Overall, these data suggest hsdS genes recombine among Xylella strains and/or unknown donors, and the resulting TRD reassortment establishes differential epigenetic modifications across Xylella lineages. IMPORTANCE Economic impacts on agricultural production due to X. fastidiosa have been severe in the Americas, Europe, and parts of Asia. Despite a long history of research on this pathogen, certain fundamental questions regarding the biology, pathogenicity, and evolution of X. fastidiosa have still not been answered. Wide-scale whole-genome sequencing has begun to provide more insight into X. fastidiosa genetic diversity and horizontal gene transfer, but the mechanics of genomic recombination in natural settings and the extent to which this directly influences bacterial phenotypes such as plant host range are not well understood. Genome methylation is an important factor in horizontal gene transfer and bacterial recombination that has not been comprehensively studied in X. fastidiosa. This study characterizes methylation associated with type I restriction-modification systems across a wide range of X. fastidiosa strains and lays the groundwork for a better understanding of X. fastidiosa biology and evolution through epigenetics." @default.
