        Genome-wide analysis of long, exact DNA repeats in rhizobia

        Julie E. Herna´ndez-Salmero´n,Eduardo Valencia-Cantero,Gustavo Santoyo 한국유전학회 2013 Genes & Genomics Vol.35 No.4

        The rhizobia are a group of bacteria widely studied for their capacity to form intimate symbiotic relationships with leguminous plants. However, they are also interesting for containing a remarkable abundance of repetitive genetic elements, such as long DNA repeats. In this study we deeply analyzed long, exact DNA repeats in five representative rhizobial genomes; Rhizobium etli,Rhizobium leguminosarum, Bradyrhizobium japonicum,Sinorhizobium meliloti and Mesorhizobium loti. The results suggest that a huge proportion of repeats can be located in either plasmid or chromosome replicons, except in B. japonicum, which lacks plasmids, but contains the largest number, and longest repeat elements of the genomes analyzed here. Interestingly, we detected a slight correlation between the density of repeats (either number or length) and genome size. As expected, the highest percentage of DNA repeats code for mobile genetic elements,including insertion sequences, recombinases, and transposases. Some repeats corresponded to non-coding or intergenic regions, while in genomes like that of R. etli, a significant percentage of large repeats, mainly located in plasmids, were strongly associated with symbiotic and nitrogen fixation activities. In conclusion, our analysis shows that rhizobial genomes contain a high density of long DNA repeats, which might facilitate recombination events and genome rearrangements, functioning in adaption and persistence during saprophytic or symbiotic life.
