The frequency of the induction by nitrosoguanidine of glyphosate resistant mutants was compared for
recipient and donor, as well as for lysogenic and non-lysogenic E. coli cells. 11 was found that integration
of viral genomes and also larger replicons such as F-factor into host chromosome increased the level of
glyphosate resistance by the factor ranging from J.6 to 6. Mutants tolerating 0.2 rnM of the inhibitor were
obtained one order of magnitude more frequently than mutants tolerating 1 mM of this inhibitor. One half
of the mutants of every group were resistant not only to the analogue of glycine,but also to the analogue
of lysine. An attempt to clone an insertion from a gene library of one of the mutants was attempted but
failed. Study on the nature of this gene is in progress.
Introduction. Antimetabolites are extensively used as
drugs and pesticides and are widely studied as «lead»
compounds in «drug dcsign» programs [1 ] (for rev.
see [2, 3]). However in practice cellular drug re
sistance developing in different taxonomic groups
makes the use of such inhibitors less efficient. What
is genetic and molecular basis of such a resistance?
To investigate this the well-studied mechanisms of
glyphosate inhibition may be used as a good ex
perimental model.
The broad-spectrum non-selective herbicide gly
phosate N- [phosphonomethyl 3-glycine specifically in
hibits the 5-enolpyruvylshikimate-3-phosphate syn
thase (EPSPS), which catalyses the sixth step in the
shikimate biosynthetic pathway the occurence of
which is restricted to bacteria, fungi and plants [4].
Mutational changes rendering this enzyme insensitive
to the inhibitor, as well as target site overproduction
due to gene amplification (or specific promoter chan
ges) have been shown to lead to the glyphosate
resistance (for rev. see [5]). However these events as
well as reduced inhibitor uptake, increase in its

degradation are rare events [6—8 ], whereas the
probability of glyphosate-resistant (glyr) colonies ap
pearance is 2 orders of magnitude higher in E. coli
[6]. We have recently shown that most of the glyr
clones are single gene mutants which are mapped at
4 different loci of the E. coli chromosome map [9].
We wondered if integration of different replicons into
the host chromosome have an effect on the probability
of the appropriate gene mutability. To answer this
question the induction probability of gly r mutants in
recipient and donor as well as lysogenic and non-
lysogenic E. coli cells was measured.Also the nature
of the mutants obtained was studied.
Materials and Methods- Chemicals. N-methyl-N-
nitro-nitrosoguanidine (NG) and S-2-amino-ethyl-L-
cysteine were supplied by «Sigma» (Germany). As a
source of glyphosate the commercial herbicide Roun
d u p 0 0 with the isopropylamine salt of glyphosate as
an active ingredient was used.
Bacterial Strains and Growth Media. The E. coli
strains employed and their genotypes are listed in
Table 1. As basal salt media, M9 and LB medium
were used [10].
Mutagenesis and Genetic Methods. For muta
genesis, nitrosoguanidine treatment was employed as

described by Miller [10]. Gly r mutants obtained in
primary selection experiments were studied by a
passage on increasing concentration of glyphosate
alone or a mixture of glyphosate and AEC
(200//g/ml).
Construction of glyr mutant genomic DNA library
and complementation. DNA isolated from this mutant
was partially digested with Sau3A and fractionated on
a 0.8 % agarose gel. Fragments smaller than 3 kb (A
DNA HindiII markers) were recovered from the gel
using the glassmilk procedure (BiolOl, Inc). Ana
logously molecules of BamHl digested, dephospho-
rylated Bluescript SK+ vector (from «Stratagene»,
USA) were recovered from the gel. The fragments
from the two sources were ligated in a ratio of 1:1
(total 40 ng of DNA used) at 4 °С overnight [11 ] and
were used to transform cells of competent E. coli
strain DH5a (from Bethesda Res. Lab). Diluted
aliquots of the transformed ceils were plated on LB
agar containing ampicillin at 50 jug/ml and X-gal and
IPTG thus allowing to determine the percent of
plasmids having DNA inserts [11].
The remainder of the transformants were ino
culated into 3 ml of LB supplemented with ampicillin
and incubated overnight at 37 °С. A plasmid library
was generated by harvesting the plasmids by alkaline
lysis [11]. The library obtained was used to trans
form both DH5a and HB-101 cells made competent
following the method of Hanahan 1121. The trans
formants were plated on M9 medium containing
different concentrations of glyphosate and all auxo
t roph ic additions required.
Results and Discussion. The frequency of the
induction of gly r mutants by NG for different E. coli
cells represented by recipient — donor and lysogenic-
nonlysogenic cells are shown in Table 2.

Table 3
Number of mutants tolerating increasing doses of glyphosate and AEC
From the results shown in Table 2 it can be
concluded that integration of different replicons into
the host chromosome slightly increased the proba
bility of a gly r mutation. The increase was more
pronounced in the strain with both F-factor and A
replicons integrated not far from each other (about 10
min on the E. coli chromosome map). As was shown
earlier, the mutations obtained in this strain map at
4 different loci [9].
On the basis of their tolerance to increasing doses
of the inhibitor, mutations obtained could be divided
into 2 groups, i. e. those tolerating low doses and
those tolerating higher doses. The frequency of the
first group is one order of magnitude higher than the
other. The frequency of mutants resistant to both
glyphosate and AEC is evident from Table 3.
The results in Table 3 demonstrate that almost
half of the mutants tolerating both low and higher
doses of glyphosate also tolerated a toxic analogue
lysine and thus were multiple-resistant.
Thus, gly r mutants appearing after NG treatment
constitute 4 different groups tolerating different doses

of glyphosate and cross-resistant to AEC. How many
genes are involved in this phenotype and what is their
nature?
Because mdr genes in eukaryotes are responsible
for multidrugresistance based on drug efflux out of
the cell (for rev. see [13]), and as such a gene should
be dominant over its wild type allele the cloning of
multiresistant gly r mutant DNA was tried. This mu
tant DNA was partially digested with Sau3A (Fig.
1), fragments of ~ 2 kb recovered from the gel (Fig.
2) and ligated to the vector (Fig. 3) (see Materials
and Methods). Thus, approximately 80 % of the
transformants produced due to the ligation product
were of white color on the indicator plates and the
number of inserts obtained was about 10 000. Using
this l ibrary, DH5a a n d HB-101 cells were
transformed and after washing with M9 medium
plated on selective medium containing 1 dose of
glyphosate. A couple of white colonies were obtained
in both cases but none of them were highly efficient
in retransformation experiments and consequently the
gene was not cloned. It this gene codes for a recessive
trait another approach should be used [9] and this
work is now in progress.
