Ralstonia pseudosolanacearumPs29 is attracted by nonmetabolizabled-malate, an unnatural enantiomer. Screening of a complete collection of single-mcp-gene deletion mutants of Ps29 revealed that the RSc1156 homologue is a chemosensor ford-malate. An RSc1156 homologue deletion mutant of Ps29 showed decreased but significant responses tod-malate, suggesting the existence of anotherd-malate chemosensor. McpM previously had been identified as a chemosensor forl-malate. We constructed an RSc1156 homologuemcpMdouble deletion mutant and noted that this mutant failed to respond tod-malate; thus, the RSc1156 homologue and McpM are the major chemosensors ford-malate in this organism. To further characterize the ligand specificities of the RSc1156 homologue and McpM, we constructed a Ps29 derivative (designated K18) harbouring deletions in 18 individualmcpgenes, includingmcpMand RSc1156. K18 harbouring the RSc1156 homologue responded strongly tol-tartrate andd-malate and moderately tod-tartrate, but not tol-malate or succinate. K18 harbouringmcpMresponded strongly tol-malate andd-tartrate and moderately to succinate, fumarate andd-malate. Ps29 utilizesl-malate andl-tartrate, but notd-malate. We therefore concluded thatl-tartrate andl-malate are natural ligands of the RSc1156 homologue and McpM, respectively, and that chemotaxis towardd-malate is a fortuitous response by the RSc1156 homologue and McpM in Ps29. We propose re-designation of the RSc1156 homologue as McpT. In tomato plant infection assays, themcpTdeletion mutant of highly virulentR. pseudosolanacearumMAFF106611 was as infectious as wild-type MAFF106611, suggesting that McpT-mediated chemotaxis does not play an important role in tomato plant infection.
