CHX pulse chase assay was performed as essentially described by Zhou (2004). Cycloheximide (CHX), a protein biosynthesis inhibitor was used to determine the half-life and stability of protein of interest. CHX blocks translation elongation step, thereby halting the synthesis of new proteins and therefore, time course degradation of protein can be studied. Briefly, parental and profilin-stable cells were seeded in 35 mm culture dishes and treated with CHX (50 μg/ml) the following day. Cells were harvested at different time points and level of protein was determined by immunoblotting

Overnight grown yeast were sub-cultured at 0.2 OD600and growntill 0.8 OD600. Cells equivalent to 1 OD600were harvested and washed twice with SC-Uramedium to remove any residual uracil from the cells. Cells were incubated in SC-Ura medium containing 3 μCi/mL [14C]uracil for 1, 5, 10 and 20 min, and RNA was extracted as described in Section 2.2.8. Equal total RNA was resolved on a formaldehyde agarosegel and transferred to an N+Hybond membrane (GE Life Sciences). Radiolabeled rRNA was detected using a phosphorimager scanner (Fujifilm FLA-9000)

Triton X-100, 0.5 mg/ml RNase A, 40 μg/ml propidium iodide). Cell nuclei were then incubated for 30 min. at 30°C and were subsequently analyzed by FACS. The hypodiploid nuclei in the histograms were considered and represented aspercentage of apoptotic cells

Apoptosis was measured by Nicoletti method (Nicoletti et al., 1991). Cells treated with appropriate apoptotic stimuli for the indicated times were harvested by centrifugation at 800g for 5 minutes at room temperature. Cells were washed once with PBS, and then resuspended in hypotonic PI lysis buffer (1% sodium citrate, 0.1%

media containing 50 μM 2’2’-dipyridyland grown for 24 h at 28°C with continuous shaking at 200 rpm. Cells were harvested by centrifugation at 7000 g for 10 min at 4 °C, washed twice with 50 mM phosphate buffer (pH-7.4), and finally resuspended in phosphate buffer. The bacterial suspension was then diluted with chelex-100 treated PS to get a final OD600of 1.0 and incubated at 28°C for 5 min. Iron transport assay was initated by adding 55FeCl3(American radiolabeled chemicals, Inc., St. Louis, USA,specific activity 10.18 mci/mg) to a final concentration of 0.4 μM into the bacterial suspension. The radiolabelled stock solution was diluted with water and 1M sodium ascorbate for 55Fe3+uptake and 55Fe2+uptake studies, respectively. For uptake of FeCl3bound vibrioferrin, both vibrioferrin (7.6 mM stock) and 55FeCl3were incubated in 1:1 ratio by diluting it appropriately with water and uptake was initiated with a final concentartion of 0.4 μM. To stop the uptake, 200 μl of bacterial cell suspension was layered and immediately centifuged (13000 g; 1 min) through 300 μl of di-butylphthalate and di-octyl phthalate (1:1) mixture. The upper aqueous layer and organic solvent was aspirated, and pellet was resuspended in 100 μl Triton-X-100. The suspension was added to 5 ml scintillation cocktail, and radioactivity count was determined in the 3H channel of scintillation counter (Perkin Elmer, Liquid Scintillation analyzer, Tri-Carb 2910 TR, USA). As control, both Fe2+and Fe3+uptake assays were performed in presence of proton motive force uncoupler carbonylcyanidep-trifluoromethoxyphenylhydrazone (FCCP; 50 μM), to distinguish between non-specific uptake of readiolabelled Fe by the bacterial cells. However, no significant increase in the incorporation of Fe2+and Fe3+ was observed in presence of FCCP, which indicated that iron uptake by these strains is energy-dependent process

In vitro transport assay was performed by using radiolabelled iron to measure the capacity of Xanthomonas oryzaepv. oryzicola strains to transport 55Fe(II) and 55Fe(III) forms of iron as described previously with slight modifications (Ardon et al., 1997; Velayudhan et al., 2000). For iron uptake asssay, Xocwild-type BXOR1 strain, ∆rpfF mutant and the complemented strain harboring full length rpfFgenewere grown overnight in PS medium. 0.2% of the overnight grown culture was inoculated in fresh P

(SCR65/ SCR66, SCR63/ SCR64 and SCR61/SCR62, respectively) designed from the neighbourhood region of the deleted gene.Replacement of ΔrpfFdeletion mutant with the point mutant allele (E141A and E161A: Glutamate to Alanine) (rpfF*) was carried out by transforming XocΔrpfFmutant with pbsks suicide vector harbouring full length rpfF* allele. The DNA fragment carrying the rpfF* allele was constructed by overlap PCR as described previously (Ionescu et al., 2013)using two 21 and 28 bp complementary primers for E141A-F/R and E161A-F/R, respectively; harbouring GAA to GCA substitution (Table 2.2). The mutated rpfF* allele was amplified by using the end primers only (SC14 and SC17) and cloned into pbsks vector with HindIII and XhoI restriction sites. The resulting suicide vector (pRR16 and pRR17) was transformed into ΔrpfFmutant and single recombinants were selected on PSA medium with kanamycin and ampicillin. Colonies were screened for integration of rpfF* (E141A or E161A) allele through homologous recombination with the flanking region of deleted rpfF allele

electroporation. Single Kmr recombinants were selected on PSA plate containing kanamycin. Insertion of the pK18mob vector in xssAgene was confirmed with PCR and sequencing. To further confirm the mutation in the siderophore biosynthetic gene, we did siderophore production assay on Peptone-sucrose agar (PSA)-chrome azurol sulfonate (CAS) (Schwyn and Neilands, 1987). PSA-CAS plate assay indicated that the xssA mutnat of Xocwas deficient in production of secreted siderophore.Deletion of the chromosomal rpfG, rpfC andclpgene of the X. oryzaepv. oryzicolawas accomplished by allelic exchange, following homologous recombination, utilizing the suicide vector pK18mobsacB harboring 5’ region and 3’ regions of the gene of interest (Katzen et al., 1999). 5’ and 3’ regions of rpfG and rpfC andclp gene were first amplified from the BXOR1by PCR using primers indicated in Table no. 2.2 and products were ligated together. After restriction digestion of ligated PCR products and the pK18mobsacB vector with appropriate restriction enzymes, they were ligated to get the plasmids pRR9, pRR10 and pRR11, respectively. These plasmids were then transformed into E. coliDH5α cells. The transformed E. colicells were selected on the LB agar plates containing nalidixic acid and kanamycin. The positive colonies carrying vector with correct inserts were further selected by colony PCR. These donor cells carrying pRR9, pRR10 and pRR11 containing 5’ and 3’ regions of the gene of interest were then transformed into electrocompetent BXOR1 wild-typecells. First crossover (single crossover) was achieved by culturing the cell mixture on Nutrient agar(NA) containing rifampicin and kanamycin,after transformation. The second crossover was allowed by passaging the cells with single crossover in nutrient brothmedium and then selecting on PSAplates containing rifampicin and 5% sucrose. BXOR1with deletion of the rpfG,rpfCand clp genes by double crossover was identified by PCR using pri

Two fragments, each approximately 300 bp in length corresponding to 5’and 3’ end of the rpfFgene were amplified using genomic DNA of Xocwild-type strain BXOR1, and cloned in pBSKS vector to obtain pRR7 (Table S1 and S5). pRR8 was obtained after ligation of Kmrcassette (EZ::Tn5TM<Kan-2>; Madison, WI) in the HindIII site of pRR7. The resulting plasmid (pRR8) was introduced into XocBXOR1 strain by electroporation. Doublerecombinants (Kmrand Aps) were screened on PSA plates containing appropriate antibiotics. Deletion of rpfF(76 amino acids) in the ∆rpfF mutant strain was confirmed by PCR and sequencing. For complementation analysis, full lengthrpfF gene was amplifiedfrom genomic DNA of Xoc Wild-typeBXOR1 strain with HindIII and EcoRI restriction sites and cloned into stable broad host range vector pHM1 (Hopkins et al., 1992)downstream to lacZpromoter to obtain pSC9. The pSC9 plasmid harboring the wild-typerpfFallele was introduced into ∆rpfF mutant strain by electroporation.To obtain the insertional nonpolar mutant in the xssA(xanthomonas siderophore synthesis A), a 321 bp internal fragment of the xssAgene containing the XbaI and HindIII sites was cloned inpK18mob suicide vector, in which the lacZpromoter drives the expression of downstream gene (Schäfer et al., 1994; Windgassen et al., 2000)to obtain pRR12. The resulting plasmid (pRR12) was introduced into Xoc BXOR1 strain by

ARTÍCULO 2

The 29th section of the scheme submitted to us says : ” The Federal Parliament shall have the power of making laws for the peace, the well-being, and the good government of the Confederate provinces, and in particular in respect of the following matters.” The powers of the Federal Government will be in reality unlimited. The fact of the enumeration of these thirty-seven heads does not in the least restrain the power of the Federal Government from legislating on everything. The exceptions are few. I would ask the Honorable Premier, for instance, whether the Federal Government has not the power to enact that marriage is a civil contract ? He cannot deny it, and I do not believe that that clause will in any way suit Lower Canada. In a matter of divorce, I consider that the power of legislating upon it ought to be vested in the Federal Government ; but as to the passing of a marriage act, we have the authority of the past to convince us that Lower Canada will never be satisfied with what is proposed in the plan of Confederation. On a former occasion, when a member of the Parliament of Canada moved to enact that marriage should be made a civil contract, all the members for Lower Canada voted against the motion, and the whole country was opposed to it. I shall also inquire whether the Federal Government will not have the right to enact that religious corporations shall no longer exist in the country, or that they shall not be allowed to hold real property, except what is absolutely necessary for their lodging accommodation. According to the resolutions which have been submitted to us, the Federal Government would certainly have this right. It has been said that article 15 of the 43rd resolution replies to this objection, but I can see nothing in that article which restricts the right of the Federal Government to legislate on this matter. The 43rd resolution defines the powers of the local governments, and article 15 of that resolution declares that they may make laws respecting ” property and civil rights, excepting those portions thereof assigned to the General Parliament.” That article reserves to the local legislatures nothing relative to religious corporations, and the Federal Government would have full power to decree that those corporations shall not hold immovable property. The supreme power is that which has the right to legislate upon, and regulate the existence of, the corporations in question, and they can only possess civil rights so long as the Government permits them to exist. The same might be said of most of the institutions to which Lower Canada is attached. I am therefore right in saying that, so far as those things which Lower Canada most holds to are concerned, Confederation is in fact a Legislative union, because upon the Federal Government is conferred the right of legislating upon those subjects which Lower Canada holds most dear.

but all would agree that most of the other hospitals and asylums of various kinds should more properly be supported by local than by general resources.

The management of all the Penitentiaries and Prisons naturally fell under the scope of the local authorities ; also that of Hospitals, Asylums, Charities, and Eleemosynary institutions. With regard to these, he would merely say that there might be some which could hardly be considered local in their nature ; such, for example, was the Marine Hospital at Quebec, a seaport where there was an enormous trade
