Abstract	The effects of 'nature' on mental health and subjective well-being have yet to be consistently integrated into ecosystem service models and frameworks. To address this gap, we used data on subjective mental well-being from an 18-country survey to test a conceptual model integrating mental health with ecosystem services, initially proposed by Bratman et al. We analysed a range of individual and contextual factors in the context of 14,998 recreational visits to blue spaces, outdoor environments which prominently feature water. Consistent with the conceptual model, subjective mental well-being outcomes were dependent upon on a complex interplay of environmental type and quality, visit characteristics, and individual factors. These results have implications for public health and environmental management, as they may help identify the bluespace locations, environmental features, and key activities, that are most likely to impact well-being, but also potentially affect recreational demand on fragile aquatic ecosystems.

Abstract	TraR of Agrobacterium tumefaciens is a member of the LuxR family of transcriptional regulators, and binds to specific DNA sequences (tra boxes) at target promoters of the tumour-inducing (Ti) plasmid. Each tra box has a pronounced dyad symmetry, and each subunit of a TraR dimer binds to one half of a tra box via a helix-turn-helix (HTH) DNA binding motif. Structural analysis has suggested that TraR makes extensive sequence-specific contacts with tra box DNA. In this study, we tested these predictions using synthetic self-complementary oligonucleotides containing variant tra box sequences. Some predictions made from structural analysis were confirmed, while others were shown to be incorrect. Unexpectedly, these experiments also showed that six nucleotides at the centre of the tra box that make no direct contact with TraR are nevertheless critical for high-affinity binding and probably act by facilitating a previously described DNA bend. Variant tra boxes were also tested for transcription activity in vivo. Most transcription assays reflected in vitro binding assays. However, alterations of the outermost nucleotides had little effect on TraR binding but blocked transcription, probably by altering an overlapping -35 promoter motif.

Abstract	The plant pathogen Agrobacterium tumefaciens induces the formation of crown gall tumours at wound sites on host plants by directly transforming plant cells. This disease strategy benefits the bacteria as the infected plant tissue produces novel nutrients, called opines, that the colonizing bacteria can use as nutrients. Almost all of the genes that are required for virulence, and all of the opine uptake and utilization genes, are carried on large tumour-inducing (Ti) plasmids. The observation more than 25 years ago that specific opines are required for Ti plasmid conjugal transfer led to the discovery of a cell-cell signalling system on these plasmids that is similar to the LuxR-LuxI system first described in Vibrio fischeri. All Ti plasmids that have been described to date carry a functional LuxI-type N-acylhomoserine lactone synthase (TraI), and a LuxR-type signal receptor and transcriptional regulator called TraR. The traR genes are expressed only in the presence of specific opines called conjugal opines. The TraR-TraI system provides an important model for LuxR-LuxI-type systems, especially those found in the agriculturally important Rhizobiaceae family. In this review, we discuss current advances in the biochemistry and structural biology of the TraR-TraI system.

Abstract	The LuxR-type quorum-sensing transcription factor TraR regulates replication and conjugal transfer of the tumour-inducing (Ti) plasmid in the plant pathogen Agrobacterium tumefaciens. TraR is a two-domain protein with an N-terminal domain that binds to the quorum-sensing signal N-3-oxooctanoyl- l-homoserine lactone (OOHL) and a C-terminal domain that binds to specific DNA sequences called tra boxes. TraR-OOHL complexes form homodimers that activate transcription of at least seven promoters on the Ti plasmid. At five promoters, a tra box overlaps the binding site of core RNA polymerase (class II promoters), while in the other two promoters, this site is located farther upstream (class I promoters). In this study, we performed saturating point mutagenesis of the surface residues of the TraR C-terminal domain. Each mutant was tested for proteolytic stability and transcription activity in vivo, and for DNA binding activity in vitro. Mutants of TraR with single substitutions at positions W184, V187, K189, E193Q, V197 and D217 have wild-type levels of accumulation and DNA binding, but are defective in transcription of both types of promoters. These residues constitute a patch on the surface of the DNA-binding domain. We propose that this patch is an activating region that recruits RNA polymerase to TraR-dependent promoters through direct contact. As residues of this patch are critical for activation at both a class I and a class II promoter, we predict that these residues may contact the C-terminal domain of the RNA polymerase alpha-subunit.

Abstract	Many of the live human and animal vaccines that are currently in use are attenuated by virtue of their temperature-sensitive (TS) replication. These vaccines are able to function because they can take advantage of sites in mammalian bodies that are cooler than the core temperature, where TS vaccines fail to replicate. In this article, we discuss the distribution of temperature in the human body, and relate how the temperature differential can be exploited for designing and using TS vaccines. We also examine how one of the coolest organs of the body, the skin, contains antigen-processing cells that can be targeted to provoke the desired immune response from a TS vaccine. We describe traditional approaches to making TS vaccines, and highlight new information and technologies that are being used to create a new generation of engineered TS vaccines. We pay particular attention to the recently described technology of substituting essential genes from Arctic bacteria for their homologues in mammalian pathogens as a way of creating TS vaccines.

Article ; Online: L-Hydroxyproline and d-Proline Catabolism in Sinorhizobium meliloti.

Abstract	Unlabelled: Sinorhizobium meliloti forms N2-fixing root nodules on alfalfa, and as a free-living bacterium, it can grow on a very broad range of substrates, including l-proline and several related compounds, such as proline betaine, trans-4-hydroxy-l-proline (trans-4-l-Hyp), and cis-4-hydroxy-d-proline (cis-4-d-Hyp). Fourteen hyp genes are induced upon growth of S. meliloti on trans-4-l-Hyp, and of those, hypMNPQ encodes an ABC-type trans-4-l-Hyp transporter and hypRE encodes an epimerase that converts trans-4-l-Hyp to cis-4-d-Hyp in the bacterial cytoplasm. Here, we present evidence that the HypO, HypD, and HypH proteins catalyze the remaining steps in which cis-4-d-Hyp is converted to α-ketoglutarate. The HypO protein functions as a d-amino acid dehydrogenase, converting cis-4-d-Hyp to Δ(1)-pyrroline-4-hydroxy-2-carboxylate, which is deaminated by HypD to α-ketoglutarate semialdehyde and then converted to α-ketoglutarate by HypH. The crystal structure of HypD revealed it to be a member of the N-acetylneuraminate lyase subfamily of the (α/β)8 protein family and is consistent with the known enzymatic mechanism for other members of the group. It was also shown that S. meliloti can catabolize d-proline as both a carbon and a nitrogen source, that d-proline can complement l-proline auxotrophy, and that the catabolism of d-proline is dependent on the hyp cluster. Transport of d-proline involves the HypMNPQ transporter, following which d-proline is converted to Δ(1)-pyrroline-2-carboxylate (P2C) largely via HypO. The P2C is converted to l-proline through the NADPH-dependent reduction of P2C by the previously uncharacterized HypS protein. Thus, overall, we have now completed detailed genetic and/or biochemical characterization of 9 of the 14 hyp genes. Importance: Hydroxyproline is abundant in proteins in animal and plant tissues and serves as a carbon and a nitrogen source for bacteria in diverse environments, including the rhizosphere, compost, and the mammalian gut. While the main biochemical features of bacterial hydroxyproline catabolism were elucidated in the 1960s, the genetic and molecular details have only recently been determined. Elucidating the genetics of hydroxyproline catabolism will aid in the annotation of these genes in other genomes and metagenomic libraries. This will facilitate an improved understanding of the importance of this pathway and may assist in determining the prevalence of hydroxyproline in a particular environment.

Abstract	Purpose: Anonymised, routinely-collected healthcare data is increasingly being used for epilepsy research. We validated algorithms using general practitioner (GP) primary healthcare records to identify people with epilepsy from anonymised healthcare data within the Secure Anonymised Information Linkage (SAIL) databank in Wales, UK. Method: A reference population of 150 people with definite epilepsy and 150 people without epilepsy was ascertained from hospital records and linked to records contained within SAIL (containing GP records for 2.4 million people). We used three different algorithms, using combinations of GP epilepsy diagnosis and anti-epileptic drug (AED) prescription codes, to identify the reference population. Results: Combining diagnosis and AED prescription codes had a sensitivity of 84% (95% ci 77-90) and specificity of 98% (95-100) in identifying people with epilepsy; diagnosis codes alone had a sensitivity of 86% (80-91) and a specificity of 97% (92-99); and AED prescription codes alone achieved a sensitivity of 92% (70-83) and a specificity of 73% (65-80). Using AED codes only was more accurate in children achieving a sensitivity of 88% (75-95) and specificity of 98% (88-100). Conclusion: GP epilepsy diagnosis and AED prescription codes can be confidently used to identify people with epilepsy using anonymised healthcare records in Wales, UK.

Abstract	Hydroxyproline (Hyp) in decaying organic matter is a rich source of carbon and nitrogen for microorganisms. A bacterial pathway for Hyp catabolism is known; however, genes and function relationships are not established. In the pathway, trans-4-hydroxy-L-proline (4-L-Hyp) is epimerized to cis-4-hydroxy-D-proline (4-D-Hyp), and then, in three enzymatic reactions, the D-isomer is converted via Δ-pyrroline-4-hydroxy-2-carboxylate (HPC) and α-ketoglutarate semialdehyde (KGSA) to α-ketoglutarate (KG). Here a transcriptional analysis of cells growing on 4-L-Hyp, and the regulation and functions of genes from a Hyp catabolism locus of the legume endosymbiont Sinorhizobium meliloti are reported. Fourteen hydroxyproline catabolism genes (hyp), in five transcripts hypR, hypD, hypH, hypST and hypMNPQO(RE)XYZ, were negatively regulated by hypR. hypRE was shown to encode 4-hydroxyproline 2-epimerase and a hypRE mutant grew with 4-D-Hyp but not 4-L-Hyp. hypO, hypD and hypH are predicted to encode 4-D-Hyp oxidase, HPC deaminase and α-KGSA dehydrogenase respectively. The functions for hypS, hypT, hypX, hypY and hypZ remain to be determined. The data suggest 4-Hyp is converted to the tricarboxylic acid cycle intermediate α-ketoglutarate via the pathway established biochemically for Pseudomonas. This report describes the first molecular characterization of a Hyp catabolism locus.

Abstract	Hydroxyproline-rich proteins in plants offer a source of carbon and nitrogen to soil-dwelling microorganisms in the form of root exudates and decaying organic matter. This report describes an ABC-type transport system dedicated to the uptake of hydroxyproline in the legume endosymbiont Sinorhizobium meliloti. We have designated genes involved in hydroxyproline metabolism as hyp genes and show that an S. meliloti strain lacking putative transport genes (DeltahypMNPQ) is unable to grow with or transport trans-4-hydroxy-l-proline when this compound is available as a sole source of carbon. Expression of hypM is upregulated in the presence of trans-4-hydroxy-l-proline and cis-4-hydroxy-d-proline, as modulated by a repressor (HypR) of the GntR/FadR subfamily. Although alfalfa root nodules contain hydroxyproline-rich proteins, we demonstrate that the transport system is not highly expressed in nodules, suggesting that bacteroids are not exposed to high levels of free hydroxyproline in planta. In addition to hypMNPQ, we report that S. meliloti encodes a second independent mechanism that enables transport of trans-4-hydroxy-l-proline. This secondary transport mechanism is induced in proline-grown cells and likely entails a system involved in l-proline uptake. This study represents the first genetic description of a prokaryotic hydroxyproline transport system, and the ability to metabolize hydroxyproline may contribute significantly toward the ecological success of plant-associated bacteria such as the rhizobia.
