number of cytosolic proteins and appears to require one or more components of the cell envelope (9, 14, 16, 17, 20–23, 26, 27, 36). The most likely site of the lethal oxidations delivered by the MPO system is the cell envelope. Many envelope components are modified at the time of, or just after, the major decline in bacterial viability (1, 2, 4, 5, 15, 29–32, 34). At the same time, a cytosolic enzyme, like aldolase, is spared within whole bacteria, whereas the cell-free enzyme is highly sensitive to HOClmediated inactivation (3). Oxidants may reach the interior of the bacterial cell only after the bacterium is already unable to replicate. These findings favor a view that oxidative events relevant to DNA replication are most likely to occur at the level of the cell envelope rather than at the level of cytosolic DNA oxidation. Of note in this context, MPO-mediated changes in the cell envelope are associated with a decline in the ability of this structure to interact normally with oriC DNA. Further, the degree of decline is proportional to the decline in bacterial DNA synthesis (33). While cell envelope interactions are a feature of oriC-mediated DNA replication, they have not been described for most other DNA replication origins. We therefore set out to compare episomal DNA synthesis, regulated by a variety of replication origins, to chromosomal DNA replication in E. coli organisms that had been modified by the MPO-mediated antimicrobial system.

Myeloperoxidase (MPO), an enzyme found in high abundance in the azurophil granules of neutrophils, catalyzes the hydrogen peroxide-mediated oxidation of the halides chloride, bromide, and iodide and of the pseudohalide thiocyanate to potent microbicidal agents that contribute to the phagocytic antimicrobial armamentarium (18). When chloride is the halide cofactor, the principal oxidant appears to be HOCl (13). The mechanism of microbicidal activity of MPO systems, although extensively studied, remains unclear. Microbicidal activity of the chloride-dependent MPO system occurs concomitantly with a major decline in bacterial DNA synthesis (33), an effect also observed with reagent HOCl (24). In contrast to the MPO microbicidal system, microbicidal effects by gentamicin, a protein synthesis inhibitor, or by an oxidative microbicidal system consisting of acetaldehyde, xanthine oxidase, and ironEDTA precede the fall in DNA synthesis (33). These findings support a causal role for the suppression of DNA synthesis in the microbicidal effects of the MPO system. The mechanism of suppression of DNA synthesis by the MPO system is unknown. Diminished DNA synthesis might result from direct DNA oxidation, diminished availability of high-energy nucleotides necessary for DNA assembly (4), or damage to enzymes and structural components responsible for initiation, extension, or termination of chromosomal replication. In Escherichia coli, the initiation of chromosomal DNA synthesis typically originates at a 245-bp region designated the minimal origin of replication (oriC). The replication initiation process, which has been studied extensively (6), involves a large

The microbicidal myeloperoxidase (MPO)-H2O2-chloride system strongly inhibits Escherichia coli DNA synthesis. Also, cell envelopes from MPO-treated E. coli cells lose their ability to interact with hemimethylated DNA sequences of oriC, the chromosomal origin of replication, raising the prospect that suppression of DNA synthesis involves impairment of oriC-related functions (H. Rosen, et al. Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA, 87:10048– 10052, 1990). To evaluate whether origin-specific DNA sequences play a role in the MPO effect on E. coli DNA synthesis, plasmid DNA replication was compared to total (chromosomal) DNA replication for six plasmids with three distinct origins of replication. Plasmid pCM700 replication, replicating from oriC, was as sensitive to MPO-mediated inhibition as was total (chromosomal) DNA replication. A regression line describing this relationship had a slope of 0.90, and the r2 was 0.89. In contrast, the replication activities of three of four non-oriC plasmids, pUC19, pACYC184, and pSC101, demonstrated significant early resistance to inhibition by MPO-derived oxidants. The exception to this resistance pattern was plasmid pSP102, which has an origin derived from P1 phage. pSP102 replication declined similarly to that of total DNA synthesis. The regression line for pSP102 replication versus total DNA synthesis had a slope of 0.95, and the r2 was 0.92. The biochemical requirements for P1-mediated replication are strikingly similar to those for oriC-mediated replication. It is proposed that one of these requirements, common to oriC and the P1 origin but not critical to the replication of the other non-oriC plasmids, is an important target for MPO-mediated oxidations that mediate the initial decline in E. coli chromosomal DNA synthesis.

FIG. 1. Relationships among chromosomal DNA synthesis and bacterial viability in MPO-treated E. coli organisms. Total DNA synthesis (100% tritiated thymidine incorporation, 212 6 78 [mean 6 standard deviation] nmol per 109 E. coli per 45 min [mditn 5 28]) was compared to residual bacterial viability (100%, 1.1 6 0.3 3 109 cells per ml) for all experiments described in Fig. 2 and 3. Data (n 5 280) were grouped as described in Materials and Methods. Error bars represent standard errors of the means. Eight data points ranged outside the graph axes and, while included in the groupings, are not shown individually.

necessary. Overall, this dependence was small (intraclass correlation ranged from 4 to 14%). The method of orthogonal polynomials (39) was used to test for linearity in the relationships described in Fig. 1 to 3. Inspection of data plots indicated that a polynomial of degree #2 was required to model these relationships. Therefore, a random effects regression model, which adjusts for dependence between the observations (11), was used to fit orthogonal polynomials up to a quadratic term. The hypothesis of a linear relationship was rejected if the coefficient of the quadratic term in the regression analysis was significantly different from zero (see Table 1). If the quadratic term was not significantly different from zero, then the model was refit with only a linear term to estimate the slope and intercept of the linear fit. In the data analysis for Fig. 3, one extreme outlying observation was identified in the data for plasmid pSP102. This observation (total DNA synthesis and plasmid DNA synthesis, prior to addition of any oxidants were 150 and 88%, respectively) strongly influenced the estimate of the slope and nonlinearity of the regression line. Although this observation could not be ascribed to experimental error, its extreme influence on the results, coupled with the biological expectation that both total and plasmid DNA synthesis should be exactly 100% under these conditions, caused us to remove this observation from the analysis.

RESULTS It was previously observed (33) that the decline of DNA synthesis in MPO-treated E. coli nearly matched declines in viability, measured by the ability to form colonies in nutrient agar. Figure 1 shows similar data obtained from all E. coli preparations described in this report. Immediately after a period of exposure to the MPO microbicidal system, cells were diluted in growth medium supplemented with tritiated thymi-

tained from commercial sources. Plasmid pSP102 (28) was a gift from D. Chattoraj. Plasmid pCM700, obtained from R. Allen, Department of Biochemistry, Stanford University, was derived from the minichromosome pCM959 (8, 25) by excision of an 837-bp PvuII fragment followed by ligation insertion of a chloramphenicol acetyltransferase gene conferring chloramphenicol resistance. Where indicated, plasmids were isolated from host strains and transformed into E. coli ATCC 11775. Transformed strains were stored at 280°C in glycerolized Luria Bertani broth as previously described (35). Microbicidal assay. E. coli organisms containing the plasmids of interest were grown overnight at 37°C with vigorous agitation in 100 ml of Trypticase soy broth supplemented with the appropriate antibiotic (ampicillin, 100 mg/ml; chloramphenicol, 50 mg/ml; or tetracycline, 10 mg/ml). Organisms were centrifuged for 15 min at 3,000 3 g and 4°C and were washed once with 10 ml of 0.1 M Na2SO4 supplemented with 0.1% gelatin. The suspension was adjusted to a turbidity characteristic of organisms at 10 times the final desired concentration and was maintained on ice. To begin the reaction, bacteria were diluted 10-fold with 40 mM sodium acetate (pH 5.0)–100 mM NaCl–10 mM glucose in a final volume of 30 ml, and samples were obtained for determination of DNA synthesis and microbial viability as described below. MPO (0.4 to 0.7 IU/ml) and glucose oxidase (0.2 to 0.4 U/ml) were added, and the sampling procedure was repeated immediately thereafter. Further samples were obtained at 2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12, 14, and 15 min. Between samplings, the flask was agitated vigorously in an oscillating water bath at 37°C. Viability of organisms was determined by performing serial 10-fold dilutions in M63 medium without a carbon source (35) and the plating 0.1-ml portions into molten Trypticase soy agar. For the initial dilution, the M63 medium was supplemented with 1 mM sodium azide or 1 mM sodium thiosulfate to inhibit MPO. DNA synthesis. DNA synthesis was estimated as assimilation of tritiated thymidine. A 2.5-ml portion of the microbicidal reaction mixture was mixed with an equal volume of double-strength trypticase soy broth that had been prewarmed to 37°C and supplemented with 2 mCi of [3H]thymidine/ml. The suspension was tumbled for 45 min in an incubator at 37°C, after which further thymidine incorporation was inhibited by the addition of ciprofloxacin (50 mg/ml). Tubes containing the reaction mixture were mixed and stored on ice. Whole-organism incorporation of thymidine into an alcohol-insoluble form was taken to reflect chromosomal DNA synthesis. A total of 0.5 ml of the E. coli suspension supplemented with [3H]thymidine was transferred to a microcentrifuge tube containing 420 ml of isopropanol and 100 ml of 3 M sodium acetate (pH 5.2). The mixture was placed on ice for 5 min and then centrifuged for 15 min at 4°C at 27,000 3 g (Hermle rotor 220.87 VO1). The supernatant was discarded, and the pellet was washed with 1 ml of 70% ethanol at 220°C and centrifuged for 5 min at 4°C. The supernatant was discarded, the pellet was solubilized overnight at 37°C in 0.1 ml of tissue solublizer (Soluene 350; Packard), and the amount of radioactivity was determined by liquid scintillation. The remaining 4.5 ml of the E. coli-[3H]thymidine mixture was centrifuged and subjected to a commercial mini-prep plasmid isolation procedure (Qiagen Plasmid MiniKit) with the final, plasmid-containing eluate in a volume of 1 ml. A total of 750 ml was counted for 3H. A total of 200 ml was supplemented with 20 mg of tRNA from yeast (Gibco BRL), and nucleic acids were precipitated with 140 ml of isopropanol. After a 30-min microcentrifugation at maximal speed, the insoluble material was washed once with 200 ml of 70% ethanol at 220°C and microcentrifuged again, and the supernatant was discarded. The partially dried pellet was dissolved in 17 ml of Tris-EDTA buffer and allowed to stand overnight at 4°C. Plasmids were linearized by 10-fold overdigestion with restriction nucleases (PstI for pUC19 and pCM700, EcoRI for pACYC184 and pSC101, and HindIII for pSP102) in buffers supplied by the manufacturer (New England BioLabs). The digested material was separated by agarose electrophoresis and stained with ethidium bromide to estimate purity and recovery amounts of the plasmids. In some instances, plasmid preparations were substantially contaminated with chromosomal DNA as indicated by a smear of ethidium bromidestained material in the gel. This effect was graded on a semiquantitative scale of 0 to 41, and contaminated samples with a score of .2 were omitted from further analysis. Plasmids prepared from strain DH5a for direct examination in ethidium bromide-agarose, without restriction enzyme digestion, were also isolated by the alkaline lysis method but were thereafter concentrated by membrane binding and elution (QiaPrep spin column; Qiagen) without an alcohol precipitation step. Data analysis. Data were expressed as percentages of a baseline value specific to each experiment. The baseline values were the averages of the respective viability, plasmid radioactivity, and total radioactivity values obtained from organisms harvested 1 min prior to, immediately after, and 2 min after addition of MPO. This approach was adopted to minimize the effects that a single aberrant value might have on the percentages determined for an entire experiment. Data reduction for graphic purposes is illustrated in Fig. 1 and 2. Data points were grouped for abscissa variables, e.g., bacterial viability, in the following categories: $80%, 60 to 79%, 40 to 59%, 20 to 39%, and ,20%. The means and standard errors of the ordinate values, e.g., total DNA synthesis, in each category were plotted against the means of the abscissa values. The data reduction described was employed only for the purpose of generating a clear graphic representation in Fig. 3. Statistical comparisons invariably used the individual data points exemplified in Fig. 1 and 2. Adjustments in the analyses were made for statistical dependence between observations from the same experiment where

dine and cultured at 37°C for 45 min. DNA synthesis was assessed as incorporation of radioactivity into alcohol-insoluble material. Analysis of the relationship between MPO effects on microbial viability and those on total DNA synthesis indicated a statistically significant deviation from linearity (P 5 0.01 for the quadratic term of the regression analysis). However, the magnitude of this term was small. Of the total variation, 81% could be ascribed to the linear component, 18% to random error, and ,1% to the quadratic component. In addition to evaluating total thymidine incorporation (total DNA synthesis), plasmid DNA was isolated to assess plasmid specific uptake. For moderate-copy-number plasmids in this study (,20 copies per cell), i.e., all but pUC19, plasmid thymidine incorporation accounted for 1.4% 6 0.7% (mean 6 standard deviation, n 5 23) of total uptake. For pUC19 (200 to 500 copies per cell), plasmid thymidine incorporation was 7.9% 6 3.0% (n 5 5) of the total. Since the bulk of total thymidine incorporation was not plasmid associated, total thymidine uptake was used to estimate chromosomal DNA synthesis. Figure 2 describes the relationships among plasmid DNA synthesis and chromosomal DNA synthesis for two episomes,

pCM700 and pUC19, after various periods of incubation with the MPO system. Plasmid pCM700 is derived from a minichromosome that replicates from the chromosomal origin, oriC. The decline in pCM700 DNA synthesis, described in Fig. 2a, closely matched the decline in total cell DNA synthesis. The slope of the regression line for 50 individual data points was 0.90 6 0.05 (standard error), with an intercept of 0.08 6 0.04 and on r2 of 0.89 6 0.13. Figure 2b describes similarly obtained data for plasmid pUC19, which replicates from the ColE1-like pMB origin of replication. Replication of this plasmid was relatively resistant to inactivation by the MPO system and appeared to be normal in E. coli cells that had lost as much as 50% of their initial capacity to synthesize DNA. Regression analysis indicated that the deviation from a linear relationship between plasmid and chromosomal DNA synthesis was highly significant (P , 0.0001) (Table 1). Three other plasmids were evaluated for their ability to maintain DNA synthesis within E. coli after exposure to MPOderived oxidants (Fig. 3). These were pSP102, with an origin derived from the P1 phage; pSC101, with an origin absolutely dependent on several properties of the dnaA protein; and pACYC184, with the p15a origin of replication, similar to

ColE1, but with a lower copy number than pUC19. pSP102 exhibited a pattern of inactivation that most nearly resembled that of pCM700 and thus matched the inactivation rate of chromosomal DNA synthesis. The slope of the regression line for 33 data points (dropping an extreme outlier) was 0.95 6 0.04, with an intercept of 0.11 6 0.05, and an r2 of 0.92 6 0.17 (inclusion of the outlier resulted in an r2 of 0.87). The remaining plasmids exhibited a pattern of inactivation that was most like that of pUC19 (P # 0.0001 for deviation from linearity) (Table 1), indicating relative resistance to oxidative inactivation by the MPO system. In preliminary studies to assess the direct attack of plasmid DNA by MPO-derived oxidants, plasmid preparations from MPO-treated E. coli cells were analyzed by agarose gel electrophoresis without prior restriction enzyme digestion. The host E. coli strain was endonuclease negative (DH5a). Reasoning that oxidative nicking might produce a conversion from supercoiled DNA to relaxed circles, or even linearized plasmids, which have distinct migration characteristics in agarose, the relative abundance of each form was examined by direct inspection of ethidium bromide-stained gels. While there were readily detectable background levels of relaxed circles and faint indications of linearized plasmid, exposure to lethal amounts of MPO-derived oxidants failed to alter the distribution of plasmid forms for either pCM700- or pUC19-containing E. coli (data not shown). DISCUSSION As previously observed (33), the MPO-dependent antimicrobial system rapidly and extensively impairs the capacity of E. coli to synthesize new DNA. The current data exhibited, in contrast to earlier observations, a statistically significant (P 5 0.01) nonlinear component to the relationship between loss of viability and loss of DNA synthesis. However, the magnitude of

the nonlinear coefficient was small and is, in our view, of dubious biological significance. We continue to believe that there is an essentially linear relationship between these two MPO-mediated effects. This study used incorporation of thymidine into macromolecules (total DNA synthesis) an estimate of chromosomal DNA synthesis. How accurate is this estimate? Prior work (10) indicated that for E. coli containing the ColE1 plasmid, more than 98% of total DNA synthesis can be attributed to the chromosome. These observations were affirmed in this study for plasmids with copy numbers below 20 per cell. Even for pUC19, with a copy number of 500 to 700 plasmids per cell (35), 93% of total DNA synthesis could be attributed to chromosomal replication. Thus, equating total DNA synthesis to chromosomal DNA synthesis introduces only modest errors, even for high-copy-number plasmids. The general comparison of plasmid to chromosomal DNA replication following MPO exposure indicated two patterns of response. Plasmids pCM700 (oriC replicon) and pSP102 (P1oriR replicon) (group I) lost the ability to synthesize new DNA at rates that were similar to those for total DNA. In contrast, plasmids pUC19, pACYC184, and pSC101 (group II) were protected from the early effects of MPO-derived oxidants. Loss of DNA synthetic ability for group II plasmids declined rapidly only after 50 to 70% of chromosome-replicating activity had been lost, and the deviation from a linear relationship was highly significant (Table 1, P # 0.0001). Several features of the DNA replication requirements for the plasmids employed in this study are summarized in Table 1. The relative resistance of pUC19 and pACYC184 to MPO inactivation suggests that RNA polymerase, DNA polymerase I, and the dnaB, dnaC, dnaG, dnaE, and dnaT proteins are not inactivated early. Further, the resistance of pSC101, which is sensitive to a broad array of mutations in the dnaA gene (19) suggests that the dnaA protein is also not a critical target for MPO-mediated oxidations at the early stages of killing. While depletion of high-energy nucleotides (4) might account for a decline in DNA synthesis, it is difficult to reconcile the divergent effects on the two plasmid groups based on such a global impairment to DNA synthesis. Although similar concerns might apply to considerations about direct oxidation of DNA polymers by MPO-derived oxidants, it is noteworthy that the topologies of group I and group II plasmids appear to differ. Both oriC and P1 plasmids are sequestered at the membrane for a significant period of time during each cell cycle (12, 26, 37) through the intermediacy of the SeqA protein. It is conceivable that apposition to the outer envelope of the cell renders these membrane-associated regions of DNA more susceptible to externally generated oxidants. Studies of plasmids recovered from MPO-oxidized E. coli containing either the cell envelope-interactive plasmid pCM700 or the noninteractive plasmid pUC19 failed to identify major conversions of supercoiled plasmid DNA to relaxed or linear forms. However, more sophisticated studies are in order before this issue can be addressed adequately. In summary, an analysis of the effects of MPO-derived oxidants on synthesis of plasmid DNA has indicated that oriCand P1-based plasmids are more susceptible than ColE1-type (pMB1 and p15a) and pSC101 plasmids to MPO inactivation. We envision the following scenario for the differential MPO effects on chromosome, minichromosome, and P1 origin episomes on the one hand and those on more resistant episomes on the other. MPO-derived oxidants attack all susceptible targets in their path, beginning at the outside of the bacterial cell where they are generated and working inwards. Soon, cell envelope structures essential for efficient replication of chro-

mosome, minichromosome, and P1 DNA are disrupted. It is proposed that these components are not essential for replication of the resistant episomes. For these episomes DNA synthesis persists until MPO-mediated oxidation becomes so extensive as to produce global impairment of DNA synthesis, perhaps by depletion of high-energy nucleotide substrates (4), resulting in a delayed but precipitous decline in DNA synthesis for the resistant episomes as well. Support for these conjectures would depend on identification of high levels of MPO susceptibility in situ among replication factors specific to the oriC and P1 replicons, a focus of continuing investigation.
