Résumé
Conjugation of DNA relies on multicomponent protein complexes bridging two bacterial cytoplasmic compartments. Whereas plasmid conjugation systems have been well documented, those of integrative and conjugative elements (ICEs) have remained poorly studied. We characterize here the conjugation system of the ICEclc element in Pseudomonas putida UWC1 that is a model for a widely distributed family of ICEs. By in frame deletion and complementation, we show the importance on ICE transfer of 22 genes in a 20-kb conserved ICE region. Protein comparisons recognized seven homologs to plasmid type IV secretion system components, another six homologs to frequent accessory proteins, and the rest without detectable counterparts. Stationary phase imaging of P. putida ICEclc with in-frame fluorescent protein fusions to predicted type IV components showed transfer-competent cell subpopulations with multiple fluorescent foci, largely overlapping in dual-labeled subcomponents, which is suggestive for multiple conjugation complexes per cell. Cross-dependencies between subcomponents in ICE-type IV secretion system assembly were revealed by quantitative foci image analysis in a variety of ICEclc mutant backgrounds. In conclusion, the ICEclc family presents an evolutionary distinct type IV conjugative system with transfer competent cells specialized in efficient transfer.
