TI  - Streptococcus suis contains multiple phase-variable methyltransferases that show  a discrete lineage distribution.
PG  - 11466-11476
AB  - Streptococcus suis is a major pathogen of swine, responsible for a number of chronic and acute
      infections, and is also emerging as a major zoonotic pathogen, particularly in South-East
      Asia. Our study of a diverse population of S. suis shows that this organism contains both Type
      I and Type III phase-variable methyltransferases. In all previous examples, phase-variation of
      methyltransferases results in genome wide methylation differences, and results in differential
      regulation of multiple genes, a system known as the phasevarion (phase-variable regulon). We
      hypothesized that each variant in the Type I and Type III systems encoded a methyltransferase
      with a unique specificity, and could therefore control a distinct phasevarion, either by
      recombination-driven shuffling between different specificities (Type I) or by biphasic on-off
      switching via simple sequence repeats (Type III). Here, we present the identification of the
      target specificities for each Type III allelic variant from S. suis using single-molecule,
      real-time methylome analysis. We demonstrate phase-variation is occurring in both Type I and
      Type III methyltransferases, and show a distinct association between methyltransferase type
      and presence, and population clades. In addition, we show that the phase-variable Type I
      methyltransferase was likely acquired at the origin of a highly virulent zoonotic
      sub-population.

TI  - Results from the Canadian Nosocomial Infection Surveillance Program for detection of carbapenemase-producing Acinetobacter spp. in Canadian hospitals, 2010-16.
PG  - 0
AB  - Objectives: Globally there is an increased prevalence of carbapenem-resistant
      Acinetobacter spp. (CRAs) and carbapenemase-producing Acinetobacter spp. (CPAs)
      in the hospital setting. This increase prompted the Canadian Nosocomial Infection
      Surveillance Program (CNISP) to conduct surveillance of CRA colonizations and
      infections identified from patients in CNISP-participating hospitals between 2010
      and 2016. Methods: Participating acute care facilities across Canada submitted
      CRAs from 1 January 2010 to 31 December 2016. Patient data were collected from
      medical records using a standardized questionnaire. WGS was conducted on all CRAs
      and data underwent single nucleotide variant analysis, resistance gene detection
      and MLST. Results: The 7 year incidence rate of CRA was 0.02 per 10 000 patient
      days and 0.015 per 1000 admissions, with no significant increase observed over
      the surveillance period (P > 0.73). Ninety-four CRA isolates were collected from
      58 hospitals, of which 93 (98.9%) were CPA. Carbapenemase OXA-235 group (48.4%)
      was the most common due to two separate clusters, followed by the OXA-23 group
      (41.9%). Patients with a travel history were associated with 38.8% of CRA cases.
      The all-cause 30 day mortality rate for infected cases was 24.4 per 100 CRA
      cases. Colistin was the most active antimicrobial agent (95.8% susceptibility).
      Conclusions: CRA remains uncommon in Canadian hospitals and the incidence did not
      increase from 2010 to 2016. Almost half of the cases were from two clusters
      harbouring OXA-235-group enzymes. Previous medical treatment during travel
      outside of Canada was common.

AB  - Mucilaginibacter pedocola TBZ30(T) (= CCTCC AB 2015301(T) = KCTC 42833(T)) is a Gram-
      negative, rod-shaped, non-motile and non-spore-forming bacterium isolated
      from a heavy metal contaminated paddy field. It shows resistance to multiple
      heavy metals and can adsorb/remove Zn(2+) and Cd(2+) during cultivation. In
      addition, strain TBZ30(T) produces exopolysaccharides (EPS). These features make
      it a great potential to bioremediate heavy metal contamination and biotechnical
      application. Here we describe the genome sequence and annotation of strain
      TBZ30(T). The genome size is 7,035,113 bp, contains 3132 protein-coding genes
      (2736 with predicted functions), 50 tRNA encoding genes and 14 rRNA encoding
      genes. Putative heavy metal resistant genes and EPS associated genes are found in
      the genome.

TI  - Crystal structure of a novel domain of the motor subunit of the Type I restriction enzyme EcoR124 involved in complex assembly and DNA binding.
PG  - 15043-15054
AB  - Although EcoR124 is one of the better-studied Type I restriction-modification enzymes, it
      still presents many challenges to detailed analyses because of its
      structural and functional complexity and missing structural information. In all
      available structures of its motor subunit HsdR, responsible for DNA translocation
      and cleavage, a large part of the HsdR C terminus remains unresolved. The crystal
      structure of the C terminus of HsdR, obtained with a crystallization chaperone in
      the form of pHluorin fusion and refined to 2.45 A, revealed that this part of the
      protein forms an independent domain with its own hydrophobic core and displays a
      unique alpha-helical fold. The full-length HsdR model, based on the WT structure
      and the C-terminal domain determined here, disclosed a proposed DNA-binding
      groove lined by positively charged residues. In vivo and in vitro assays with a
      C-terminal deletion mutant of HsdR supported the idea that this domain is
      involved in complex assembly and DNA binding. Conserved residues identified
      through sequence analysis of the C-terminal domain may play a key role in
      protein-protein and protein-DNA interactions. We conclude that the motor subunit
      of EcoR124 comprises five structural and functional domains, with the fifth, the
      C-terminal domain, revealing a unique fold characterized by four conserved motifs
      in the IC subfamily of Type I restriction-modification systems. In summary, the
      structural and biochemical results reported here support a model in which the
      C-terminal domain of the motor subunit HsdR of the endonuclease EcoR124 is
      involved in complex assembly and DNA binding.

TI  - Genome Features and Biochemical Characteristics of a Robust, Fast Growing and Naturally Transformable Cyanobacterium Synechococcus elongatus PCC 11801 Isolated from India.
PG  - 16632
AB  - Cyanobacteria provide an interesting platform for biotechnological applications
      due to their efficient photoautotrophic growth, amenability to genetic
      engineering and the ability to grow on non-arable land. An ideal industrial
      strain of cyanobacteria would need to be fast growing and tolerant to high levels
      of temperature, light, carbon dioxide, salt and be naturally transformable. In
      this study, we report Synechococcus elongatus PCC 11801, a strain isolated from
      India that fulfills these requirements. The physiological and biochemical
      characteristics of PCC 11801 under carbon and light-limiting conditions were
      investigated. PCC 11801 shows a doubling time of 2.3 h, that is the fastest
      growth for any cyanobacteria reported so far under ambient CO2 conditions. Genome
      sequence of PCC 11801 shows genome identity of ~83% with its closest neighbors
      Synechococcus elongatus PCC 7942 and Synechococcus elongatus UTEX 2973. The
      unique attributes of PCC 11801 genome are discussed in light of the physiological
      characteristics that are needed in an industrial strain. The genome of PCC 11801
      shows several genes that do not have homologs in neighbor strains PCC 7942 and
      UTEX 2973, some of which may be responsible for adaptation to various abiotic
      stresses. The remarkably fast growth rate of PCC 11801 coupled with its
      robustness and ease of genetic transformation makes it an ideal candidate for the
      photosynthetic production of fuels and chemicals.

TI  - Draft genomes of Cronobacter sakazakii strains isolated from dried spices bring unique insights into the diversity of plant-associated strains.
PG  - 35
AB  - Cronobacter sakazakii is a Gram-negative opportunistic pathogen that causes life- threatening
      infantile infections, such as meningitis, septicemia, and necrotizing
      enterocolitis, as well as pneumonia, septicemia, and urinary tract and wound
      infections in adults. Here, we report 26 draft genome sequences of C. sakazakii,
      which were obtained from dried spices from the USA, the Middle East, China, and
      the Republic of Korea. The average genome size of the C. sakazakii genomes was
      4393 kb, with an average of 4055 protein coding genes, and an average genome G +
      C content of 56.9%. The genomes contained genes related to carbohydrate transport
      and metabolism, amino acid transport and metabolism, and cell wall/membrane
      biogenesis. In addition, we identified genes encoding proteins involved in
      osmotic responses such as DnaJ, Aquaproin Z, ProQ, and TreF, as well as
      virulence-related and heat shock-related proteins. Interestingly, a metabolic
      island comprised of a variably-sized xylose utilization operon was found within
      the spice-associated C. sakazakii genomes, which supports the hypothesis that
      plants may serve as transmission vectors or alternative hosts for Cronobacter
      species. The presence of the genes identified in this study can support the
      remarkable phenotypic traits of C. sakazakii such as the organism's capabilities
      of adaptation and survival in response to adverse growth environmental conditions
      (e.g. osmotic and desiccative stresses). Accordingly, the genome analyses
      provided insights into many aspects of physiology and evolutionary history of
      this important foodborne pathogen.

TI  - Crystal structure of the modification-dependent SRA-HNH endonuclease TagI.
PG  - 10489-10503
AB  - TagI belongs to the recently characterized SRA-HNH family of modification-dependent
      restriction endonucleases (REases) that also includes
      ScoA3IV (Sco5333) and TbiR51I (Tbis1). Here, we present a crystal structure of
      dimeric TagI, which exhibits a DNA binding site formed jointly by the nuclease
      domains, and separate binding sites for modified DNA bases in the two protomers.
      The nuclease domains have characteristic features of HNH/betabetaalpha-Me REases,
      and catalyze nicks or double strand breaks, with preference for /RY and RYN/RY
      sites, respectively. The SRA domains have the canonical fold. Their pockets for
      the flipped bases are spacious enough to accommodate 5-methylcytosine (5mC) or
      5-hydroxymethylcytosine (5hmC), but not glucosyl-5-hydroxymethylcytosine (g5hmC).
      Such preference is in agreement with the biochemical determination of the TagI
      modification dependence and the results of phage restriction assays. The ability
      of TagI to digest plasmids methylated by Dcm (C5mCWGG), M.Fnu4HI (G5mCNGC) or
      M.HpyCH4IV (A5mCGT) suggests that the SRA domains of the enzyme are tolerant to
      different sequence contexts of the modified base.

TI  - Bacillus wiedmannii biovar thuringiensis: A Specialized Mosquitocidal Pathogen with Plasmids from Diverse Origins.
PG  - 2823-2833
AB  - Bacillus cereus sensu lato also known as B. cereus group is composed of an
      ecologically diverse bacterial group with an increasing number of related
      species, some of which are medically or agriculturally important. Numerous e ff
      orts have been undertaken to allow presumptive di ff erentiation of B. cereus
      group species from one another. FCC41 is a Bacillus sp. strain toxic against
      mosquito species like Aedes aegypti, Aedes (Ochlerotatus) albifasciatus, Culex
      pipiens, Culex quinquefasciatus, and Culex apicinus, some of them responsible for
      the transmission of vector-borne diseases. Here, we report the complete genome
      sequence of FCC41 strain, which consists of one circular chromosome and eight
      circular plasmids ranging in size from 8 to 490 kb. This strain harbors six
      crystal protein genes, including cry24Ca, two cry4-like and two cry52-like, a
      cry41-like parasporin gene and multiple virulence factors. The phylogenetic
      analysis of the whole-genome sequence of this strain with molecular approaches
      places this strain into the Bacillus wiedmannii cluster. However, according with
      phenotypical characteristics such as the mosquitocidal activity due to the
      presence of Cry proteins found in the parasporal body and cry genes encoded in
      plasmids of different sizes, indicate that this strain could be renamed as B.
      wiedmannii biovar thuringiensis strain FCC41.

AB  - Arcticibacterium luteifluviistationis SM1504(T) was isolated from Arctic surface  seawater and
      classified as a novel genus of the phylum Bacteroides. To date, no
      Arcticibacterium genomes have been reported, their genomic compositions and
      metabolic features are still unknown. Here, we reported the complete genome
      sequence of A. luteifluviistationis SM1504(T), which comprises 5,379,839 bp with
      an average GC content of 37.20%. Genes related to various stress (such as
      radiation, osmosis and antibiotics) resistance and gene clusters coding for
      carotenoid and flexirubin biosynthesis were detected in the genome. Moreover, the
      genome contained a 245-kb genomic island and a 15-kb incomplete prophage region.
      A great percentage of proteins belonging to carbohydrate metabolism especially in
      regard to polysaccharides utilization were found. These related genes and
      metabolic characteristics revealed genetic basis for adapting to the diverse
      extreme Arctic environments. The genome sequence of A. luteifluviistationis
      SM1504(T) also implied that the genus Arcticibacterium may act as a vital organic
      carbon matter decomposer in the Arctic seawater ecosystem.

PG  - 36
AB  - Rhizobia bacteria engage in nitrogen-fixing root nodule symbiosis, a mutualistic  interaction
      with legume plants in which a bidirectional nutrient exchange takes
      place. Occasionally, this interaction is suboptimal resulting in the formation of
      ineffective nodules in which little or no atmospheric nitrogen fixation occurs.
      Rhizobium leguminosarum Norway induces ineffective nodules in a wide range of
      Lotus hosts. To investigate the basis of this phenotype, we sequenced the
      complete genome of Rl Norway and compared it to the genome of the closely related
      strain R. leguminosarum bv. viciae 3841. The genome comprises 7,788,085 bp,
      distributed on a circular chromosome containing 63% of the genomic information
      and five large circular plasmids. The functionally classified bacterial gene set
      is distributed evenly among all replicons. All symbiotic genes (nod, fix, nif)
      are located on the pRLN3 plasmid. Whole genome comparisons revealed differences
      in the metabolic repertoire and in protein secretion systems, but not in
      classical symbiotic genes.

TI  - Hexameric assembly of the AAA+ protein McrB is necessary for GTPase activity.
PG  - 
AB  - McrBC is one of the three modification-dependent restriction enzymes encoded by the
      Escherichia coli K12 chromosome. Amongst restriction enzymes, McrBC and its
      close homologues are unique in employing the AAA+ domain for GTP
      hydrolysis-dependent activation of DNA cleavage. The GTPase activity of McrB is
      stimulated by the endonuclease subunit McrC. It had been reported previously that
      McrB and McrC subunits oligomerise together into a high molecular weight species.
      Here we conclusively demonstrate using size exclusion chromatography coupled
      multi-angle light scattering (SEC-MALS) and images obtained by electron
      cryomicroscopy that McrB exists as a hexamer in solution. Furthermore, based on
      SEC-MALS and SAXS analyses of McrBC and the structure of McrB, we propose that
      McrBC is a complex of two McrB hexamers bridged by two subunits of McrC, and that
      the complete assembly of this complex is integral to its enzymatic activity. We
      show that the nucleotide-dependent oligomerisation of McrB precedes GTP
      hydrolysis. Mutational studies show that, unlike other AAA+ proteins, the
      catalytic Walker B aspartate is required for oligomerisation.

PG  - 0
AB  - Extensively drug-resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae (XDR-KP) infections cause high
      mortality and are disseminating globally. Identifying the genetic basis
      underpinning resistance allows for rapid diagnosis and treatment. XDR isolates
      sourced from Greece and Brazil, including 19 polymyxin-resistant and five
      polymyxin-susceptible strains, were subjected to whole genome sequencing.
      Seventeen of the 19 polymyxin-resistant isolates harboured variations upstream or
      within mgrB. The most common mutation identified was an insertion at nucleotide
      position 75 in mgrB via an ISKpn26-like element in the ST258 lineage and ISKpn13
      in one ST11 isolate. Three strains acquired an IS1 element upstream of mgrB and
      another strain had an ISKpn25 insertion at 133 bp. Other isolates had truncations
      (C28STOP, Q30STOP) or a missense mutation (D29E) affecting mgrB. Complementation
      assays revealed all mgrB perturbations contributed to resistance. Missense
      mutations in phoQ (T281M, G385C) were also found to facilitate resistance.
      Several variants in phoPQ co-segregating with the ISKpn26-like insertion were
      identified as potential partial suppressor mutations. Three ST258 samples were
      found to contain subpopulations with different resistance-conferring mutations,
      including the ISKpn26-like insertion colonizing with a novel mutation in pmrB
      (P158R), both confirmed via complementation assays. These findings highlight the
      broad spectrum of chromosomal modifications which can facilitate and regulate
      resistance against polymyxins in K. pneumoniae.

TI  - The draft genome sequence of 'Nitrospira lenta' strain BS10, a nitrite oxidizing  bacterium isolated from activated sludge.
PG  - 32
AB  - The genus Nitrospira is considered to be the most widespread and abundant group of
      nitrite-oxidizing bacteria in many natural and man-made ecosystems. However,
      the ecophysiological versatility within this phylogenetic group remains highly
      understudied, mainly due to the lack of pure cultures and genomic data. To
      further expand our understanding of this biotechnologically important genus, we
      analyzed the high quality draft genome of 'Nitrospira lenta' strain BS10, a
      sublineage II Nitrospira that was isolated from a municipal wastewater treatment
      plant in Hamburg, Germany. The genome of 'N. lenta' has a size of 3,756,190 bp
      and contains 3968 genomic objects, of which 3907 are predicted protein-coding
      sequences. Thorough genome annotation allowed the reconstruction of the 'N.
      lenta' core metabolism for energy conservation and carbon fixation. Comparative
      analyses indicated that most metabolic features are shared with N. moscoviensis
      and 'N. defluvii', despite their ecological niche differentiation and
      phylogenetic distance. In conclusion, the genome of 'N. lenta' provides important
      insights into the genomic diversity of the genus Nitrospira and provides a
      foundation for future comparative genomic studies that will generate a better
      understanding of the nitrification process.

TI  - Recognition of modified cytosine variants by the DNA-binding domain of methyl-directed endonuclease McrBC.
PG  - 3335-3345
AB  - Cytosine modifications expand the information content of genomic DNA in both eukaryotes and
      prokaryotes, providing means for epigenetic regulation and self
      versus nonself discrimination. For example, the methyl-directed restriction
      endonuclease, McrBC, recognizes and cuts invading bacteriophage DNA containing
      5-methylcytosine (5mC), 5-hydroxymethylcytosine (5hmC), and N4-methylcytosine
      (4mC), leaving the unmodified host DNA intact. Here, we present cocrystal
      structures of McrB-N bound to DNA oligoduplexes containing 5hmC, 5-formylcytosine
      (5fC), and 4mC, and characterize the relative affinity of McrB-N to various
      cytosine variants. We find that McrB-N flips out modified bases into a protein
      pocket and binds cytosine derivatives in the order of descending affinity: 4mC >
      5mC > 5hmC >> 5fC. We also show that pocket mutations alter the relative
      preference of McrB-N to 5mC, 5hmC, and 4mC.
