Characterization of the Δ7 Mutant of <named-content content-type="genus-species">Cupriavidus metallidurans</named-content> with Deletions of Seven Secondary Metal Uptake Systems

ABSTRACT Central to the ability of Cupriavidus metallidurans to maintain its metal homoeostasis is the metal transportome, composed of uptake and efflux systems. Seven secondary metal import systems, ZupT, PitA, CorA1, CorA2, CorA3, ZntB, and HoxN, interact and are at the core of the metal uptake tr...

Seven secondary metal import systems, ZupT, PitA, CorA1, CorA2, CorA3, ZntB, and HoxN, interact and are at the core of the metal uptake transportome. The 7-fold deletion mutant Δ7 (ΔzupT ΔpitA ΔcorA1ΔcorA2ΔcorA3ΔzntB ΔhoxN) of parent strain AE104 is still able to maintain its cellular metal content, although at the cost of reduced fitness (M.

The decreased fitness of Δ7 correlated with a zinc-dependent downregulation of the overall metabolic backbone of the cells even at nontoxic external zinc concentrations. Responsible for this decreased fitness of Δ7 was a negative interference of the activity of two P-type ATPases, MgtA and MgtB, which, on the other hand, kept Δ7 at a fitness level higher than that of the Δ9 (Δ7 ΔmgtA::kan ΔmgtB) mutant strain.
