The completc DNA scqucnccs coding for thc thiol-activated cytolysins from Listeria ivanovii, ivanolysin 0 (ILO) and for sccligerolysin 0 (LSO) from Listeria seeligeri have been dctermined. Thc deduced amino acid scquences revealed that: (i) the primary translation products comprise 528 (ILO) and 530 (LSO) amino acids. respectively. (ii) ILO contains two cysteines. LSO has a substitution in the conserved cysteine motif.
A gene (Imsod) encoding superoxide dismutase (SOD; EC 1.15.1.1) of the facultative intracellular pathogen, Listeria monocytogenes, was cloned by functional complementation of an SOD-deficient Escherichia coli mutant. The nucleotide sequence was determined and the deduced amino acid (aa) sequence (202 aa) showed close similarity to manganese-containing SOD's from other organisms. Subunits of the recombinant L. monocytogenes SOD (re-SOD) and of both E. coli SODs formed enzymatically active hybrid enzymes in vivo. DNA/DNA-hybridization experiments showed that this type of recombinant re-sod gene is conserved within the genus Listeria.
