1 Lecture 5. GENETICS OF PROKARYOTES 1. Basic concepts 2. The prokaryotic genome 3. The pan-genome 4. Genetic interchange and recombination 4.1. Recombination 4.2. Transformation 4.3. Conjugation 4.4. Transduction 5. Transposable elements 6. Genetic manipulation of microorganisms ( Genetic engineering )

2 1. BASIC CONCEPTS Genome: molecule/s storing the genetic information (DNA in all cells; DNA and/or RNA in viruses) Gene: the basic unit of genetic information. A fragment of DNA or RNA, including regulatory sequences, coding for a protein or RNA. Regulatory sequences 5 3 Coding sequence (ORF: open reading frame) Expression: transcription (when the gene product is a rrna or trna) or transcription and translation (when the gene product is a protein; implies mrna) Replication Transcription DNA RNA PROTEIN Translation Reverse transcription GENETIC CODE Replication

3 2. THE PROKARYOTIC GENOME Chromosome: carries genes essential for survival Plasmid/s: non essential* genes. Selectve advantages Chromosome Plasmids

4 2. THE PROKARYOTIC GENOME 2.1. CHROMOSOME Number: normally, only one Copy number: Size: 0.5 Mb 10 Mb Structure: cccdna (with some exceptions) supercoiled Packaging: basic proteins, cations, etc. Plasmid Regulatory non-coding sequences (11%) Protein coding sequences (87%) RNA coding sequences (0.8%) Non-coding sequences (0.7%) Chromosome Escherichia coli chromosome

6 2. THE PROKARYOTIC GENOME 2.1. CHROMOSOME OPERON REGULON Only one promoter. Co-transcription of several genes. Polycistronic RNA One regulatory molecule Co-expression of several operons

7 2. THE PROKARYOTIC GENOME 2.2. PLASMIDS Circular (normally) DNA molecules Chromosome-independent replication Genes non-essential* for growths Size range from 1 Kb to 1 Mb (megaplasmids) High/low copy number Incompatibility groups Curation: plasmid loss (induced or spontaneous) Plasmid Plasmid types: Cryptic Conjugative Chromosome Resistance Metabolic Virulence Plasmids R Episome Engineered

9 3. THE PAN-GENOME Core genome vs. Accessory genome (strain and environmental sequences)

10 GENETIC VARIABILITY GENETIC VARIABILITY Eukaryotes: Prokaryotes: Individual level (mutation and recombination) Population level (sexual reproduction) Individual level (mutation and recombination) Population level (HGT: horizontal gene transfer or LGT: lateral GT)

11 These mechanisms transfer DNA to receptor cells. This DNA will stay if it recombines with the receptor genome
