Abstract. 24
The known genomic islands of Pseudomonas aeruginosa clone C strains integrated 25
into tRNALys
(pKLC102) or tRNAGly
genes (PAGI-2, PAGI-3) and differ from their core 26
genomes by distinctive tetranucleotide usage patterns. pKLC102 and the related island PAPI-27
1 from P. aeruginosa PA14 were spontaneously mobilized from their host chromosomes at 28
frequencies of 3% and 0.3% thus making pKLC102 the most mobile genomic island known to 29
date with a copy number of 10-30 episomal circular pKLC102 molecules per cell. The 30
incidence of islands of the pKLC102 / PAGI-2 type was investigated in 71 unrelated P. 31
aeruginosa strains of diverse habitats and geographic origin. pKLC102- and PAGI-2-like 32
islands were identified in 50 and 31 strains, respectively, whereby 15 and 10 subtypes were 33
differentiated by hybridization on pKLC102 and PAGI-2 macroarrays. The diversity of 34
PAGI-2 type islands was mainly caused by one large block of strain-specific genes, whereas 35
the diversity of pKLC102 type islands was primarily generated by subtype-specific 36
combination of gene cassettes. Chromosomal loss of PAGI-2 could be documented in 37
sequential P. aeruginosa isolates from individuals with cystic fibrosis. PAGI-2 was present in 38
most tested Cupriavidus metallidurans and C. campinensis isolates from polluted 39
environments thus demonstrating the spread of PAGI-2 across habitats and species barriers. 40
The pKLC102 / PAGI-2 family is prevalent in numerous beta and gamma proteobacteria and 41
characterized by high asymmetry of the complementary DNA strands. This evolutionarily 42
ancient family of genomic islands retained its oligonucleotide signature during horizontal 43
spread within and among taxa. 44

Introduction. 45
The genome of a bacterium consists of a core that is common to all strains of a taxon 46
and an accessory part that varies within and among clones of a taxon. The accessory genome 47
represents the flexible gene pool that frequently undergoes acquisition and loss of genetic 48
information and hence plays an important role for the adaptive evolution of bacteria (10). The 49
flexible gene pool is made up of elements such as bacteriophages, plasmids, IS elements, 50
transposons, conjugative transposons, integrons and genomic islands. 51
Genomic islands are chromosomal regions that are typically flanked by direct repeats 52
and inserted at the 3‘ end of a tRNA gene. They contain transposase or integrase genes that 53
are required for chromosomal integration and excision and further mobility-related genes. 54
Genomic islands are clone- or strain-specific and are never found in all clones of a taxon. 55
Most islands are easily differentiated from the core genome by their atypical GC-contents and 56
atypical oligonucleotide composition with steep gradients thereof at their boundaries (37, 38). 57
First identified in pathogenic bacteria (‘pathogenicity islands‘), genomic islands have 58
meanwhile been detected in numerous non-pathogenic species. Genomic islands may confer 59
fitness traits, increase metabolic versatility or adaptability or promote bacteria – host 60
interaction in terms of symbiosis, commensalism or virulence, respectively (10). 61
The ubiquitous and metabolically versatile Pseudomonas aeruginosa is an important 62
opportunistic pathogen for humans, plants and animals (34). Several large genomic islands 63
have been detected in strains from human infections and aquatic habitats. All known large 64
genomic islands of P. aeruginosa but one (28) integrated into tRNA genes. Two different 65
types were identified, the islands PAGI-2 / PAGI-3 (25) and pKLC102 (21) / PAPI-1 (16), 66
respectively. PAGI-2 and PAGI-3 were sequenced in strains C and SG17M of the major clone 67
C (41), an isolate from the lungs of a patient with cystic fibrosis and an isolate from a river. 68
PAGI-2 and PAGI-3 integrate into tRNAGly
genes adjacent to the PAO homolog PA2820. In 69
both islands the first open reading frame (ORF) adjacent to the tRNAGly
gene encodes a 70

bacteriophage P4-related multidomain integrase. PAGI-2 and PAGI-3 have a modular 71
bipartite structure. The first part adjacent to the tRNA gene consists of strain-specific ORFs 72
encoding metabolic functions and transporters, the majority of which has homologs of known 73
function in other eubacteria (cargo region). The second part is made up of a syntenic set of 74
ORFs the majority of which are either classified as conserved hypotheticals or are related to 75
DNA replication or mobility genes (conserved part). Forty-seven of these ORFs are arranged 76
in the same order in both islands with an amino acid identity of 35 – 88%. 77
The other known large genomic islands integrated into one of the two identical 78
tRNALys
genes adjacent to PAO1 homologs PA0976 and PA4541, respectively. The 79
sequenced islands that integrated adjacent to PA4541 are the pathogenicity island PAPI-1 of 80
strain PA14 (16) and the mobile genetic element pKLC102 of the clone C strain SG17M (21). 81
The 104 kb pKLC102 and the 108 kb PAPI-1 share a phage module that conferred integrase, 82
the att element and a syntenic set of conserved genes, similar to those detected in PAGI-2 and 83
PAGI-3 (21). The other tRNALys
gene adjacent to PA0976 is targeted by genomic islands of 84
variable size (4 – 81 kb in six sequenced strains) and of variable gene contents (16, 21, 24). 85
These islands encode the type III secretion effector protein ExoU, a potent cytotoxic lipase 86
(43), in exoU-positive strains (24). The sequence analysis suggests that the exoU - containing 87
genomic islands probably evolved from an ancestral plasmid similar to pKLC102. Subsequent 88
integrations of IS elements, deletions and rearrangements may then have led to the 89
contemporary diversity of the islands (24). 90
The integration sites for all these large genomic island are located in the three 91
hypervariable regions of the P. aeruginosa chromosome (17, 39). Since the PAO gene contig 92
of these regions spans genomic segments of variable size in other clones (17), we 93
hypothesized that genomic islands account for their pronounced plasticity. We were curious 94
to know whether and to what extent the sequenced pKLC102 and PAGI-2 are prototypes for 95
these suspected genomic islands. PAGI-2 and pKLC102 share a set of 36 homologous genes 96

fifteen of which have been identified in numerous genomic islands of other proteobacteria 97
(29). In this study the presence of homologs of all ORFs of pKLC102 and PAGI-2 was 98
investigated in a panel of 71 genetically unrelated strains of diverse habitats and geographic 99
origin (30) to assess the abundance and conservation of these types of genomic islands in P. 100
aeruginosa. 101
Genomic islands are typically stably integrated in the host chromosome. The 102
reversible integration and excision of genomic islands has so far been documented for only 103
few cases such as the clc element of Pseudomonas putida strain RR21 (14), pathogenicity 104
islands of Vibrio cholerae (32), Shigella flexneri (42) and Yersinia pseudotuberculosis (27, 105
33), integrative and conjugative elements (ICEs) of Escherichia coli strain ECOR31 (44) and 106
of Vibrio cholerae (7, 8), and the SaPIbov2 pathogenicity island of Staphylococcus aureus 107
(51), the latter two not being integrated into a tRNA gene. Among the P. aeruginosa islands 108
pKLC102 is known to coexist in episomal and chromosome-integrated forms in clone C 109
strains (21, 41), but no information was available about the chromosomal stability of the other 110
three sequenced large genomic islands. Hence the relative amounts of integrated and episomal 111
forms were determined for PAGI-2, PAGI-3, pKLC102 and PAPI-1 during growth in vitro. In 112
parallel, the four genomic islands were analyzed in their oligonucleotide usage patterns to 113
unravel their genomic signature and any commonalities with each other and their P. 114
aeruginosa host chromosome. In particular pKLC102 turned out to behave like a foreign 115
selfish element consistent with its exceptionally high mobility. 116

Oligonucleotide usage statistics. Overlapping oligonucleotide words of a certain 118
length lw were counted in the sequence of Lseq nucleotides by shifting the window in steps of 1 119
nucleotide. The total word number (Wtotal) is Lseq − lw in a linear sequence or Wtotal = Lseq in a 120
circular sequence. Since Lseq >> lw, Wtotal ≅ Lseq in all cases. For a given word length lw, Nw = 121
4lw
different words are possible for a sequence of four letters A, T, G and C. The observed 122
counts of words (Co) were compared with the expected counts of words (Ce). Assuming the 123
same distribution frequency for all words of a common length lw irrespective of their 124
composition and sequence, Ce matches the standard count number Cn0 125

For the comparison of sequences by OU patterns of the same type, the words in each 139
sequence were ranked by ∆w values according to equation 2. Rank numbers instead of word 140

Dmax is the maximal distance that is theoretically possible between two patterns of lw long 147
words (equation 5). Dmin is the minimal distance between two patterns. The minimal distance 148
is zero for two independent sequences, but has a positive value for the two complementary 149
strands of the same DNA sequence, because the OU patterns designed for both strands of the 150
same DNA molecule cannot be identical. The pattern skew (PS) describes this distance 151
between opposite strands of the same DNA and is a measure of OU symmetry. The minimal 152
theoretical distance between two patterns of opposite strands is realized if the words and their 153
reverse complements are distributed with similar frequencies in the sequence and it is 154

is 2 lw

Strains. Seventy-one P. aeruginosa strains of diverse origin and unrelated SpeI 163
genotype (Table 1) (30) were selected from an in-house strain collection. Moreover, the 164
sequenced reference strains PAO1 and PA14 were included. Multilocus genotyping was 165
performed in informative SNPs of the loci oriC, oprL, alkB2, gltA, oprI, ampC, fliC, exoS and 166
exoU as described previously (5, 30). The 16 binary SNP genotypes of the 71 strains (Table 1) 167
were represented by a 4-digit hexadecimal code (see supplementary material, Table S1): The 168
16 SNPs were divided into 4 groups of 4 SNPs each, and the 16 possible combinations in each 169
group were differentiated by 16 characters (0-9, A-F). Sequential P. aeruginosa isolates were 170
collected from the airways of 36 individuals with cystic fibrosis in half year intervals since 171
the onset of airways colonization over a period of up to 21 years. Strains were screened for 172
the presence of PAGI-2 by PCR with specific primers for the gene C10 (25). Cupriavidus 173
strains were supplied by Max Mergeay, Mol, Belgium (Table 1). Unless otherwise stated, 174
strains were grown in liquid LB medium or on LB agar plates. 175
DNA preparation. DNA manipulations followed standard procedures (2). High-176
molecular weight chromosomal DNA of P. aeruginosa was prepared following the protocol 177
of Goldberg & Ohman (15). Small scale isolations of plasmid and cosmid DNA were 178
performed by using QIAprep spin miniprep kits (Qiagen), while larger amounts of cosmid 179
DNA were purified by using QIAtip100 columns (Qiagen) following the instructions of the 180
supplier. 181
Combinatorial PCR. PCR was performed with PA14- , PAPI-1-, SG17M-, 182
pKLC102-, C-, PAGI-2- or PAGI-3-derived target-specific primer sequences (see Table S2, 183
supplementary material) and 50 ng P. aeruginosa DNA in a 50 µl reaction mixture (5 µl 10x 184
reaction buffer (Eurogentec), 3.3 µl 25 mM MgCl2, 1 µl DMSO, 10 µl primer solution (5 µM 185
each), 3 µl dNTPs (2 mM each), 1 U GoldstarTM
-DNA-Polymerase (Eurogentec)). For PCR 186
kinetics, aliquots of 5 µl were withdrawn at the indicated cycles, separated by electrophoresis 187

sequences i and j in the reaction mixture were determined from the titration for the first 189
reaction cycle n when the PCR products became visible by ethidium bromide fluorescence 190
during late exponential phase of PCR according to the equation 191
Ni / Nj = (1 + R)n(j) – n(i)
(7), 192
whereby the efficiency R of the used thermocycler during the exponential phase of PCR was 193
determined to be R = 0.78 ± 0.02 for PCR products of 100 – 800 bp in length within the 194
interval of reaction cycles 10 < n < 35 (6, 18). 195
Southern hybridization analysis. To visualize the copy number of PAGI-2 and 196
pKLC102 type islands in P. aeruginosa strains, XhoI- or NcoI-restricted genomic DNA was 197
separated by agarose gel electrophoresis, blotted onto Hybond N+ membranes (Amersham), 198
hybridized with digoxigenin (DIG)-labelled PCR generated probes and detected by 199
chemoluminescent immunoreactive signals applying standard procedures (40). According to 200
BlastN analysis the primer sequences were specific for PAGI-2 or pKLC102 and showed no 201
homology to the PAO1 genomic sequence (49). 202
Macroarrays. 203
Design. PCR products generated with PAGI-2- or pKLC102-derived primer sequences were 204
spotted onto nylon membranes. The scheme is shown in Figure 1. For the PAGI-2 205
macroarrays, 91 PCR products were distributed onto the membrane representing 93 of the 111 206
predicted ORFs (Figure 1A). ORF C47 was represented by two different products (“C47a”, 207
“C47b”), the adjacent genes C54 and C55, C76 and C77, and C82 and C83 were each 208
represented by a single ORF- spanning PCR product. 209
Eighty-five ORFs were represented in the pKLC102 macroarray (Figure 1B), whereby ORFs 210
CP94 and CP103 were represented by three (“CP94a”, “CP94b”, “CP94c”) and two PCR 211
products (“CP103a”, “CP103b”), respectively. Three PCR products span two ORFs each 212
(CP47 and CP48, CP52 and CP53, CP73 and CP74). One spot (“ori2”) contained a part of 213
oriV (21). Control PCR products were spotted in the left lower corner. In case of the PAGI-2 214

array, the five dots contained partial sequences of (from top to bottom) the P. aeruginosa 215
genes gltA, fliC (type A), fliC (type B), (positive controls), of an intergenic sequence of 216
Pseudomonas putida KT2440 and of the human ob gene (negative controls). In addition to 217
these five control dots, the pKLC102 macroarray contained in the second lane from the left 218
the five controls „ori1“ of pKLC102, PA0977, PA0981 of P. aeruginosa PAO1 and two 219
PAGI-2 homologs of P. aeruginosa TB. 220
Production of macroarrays. Probe sequences of a length of 208 bp to 805 bp were generated 221
by four PCRs with cosmids encoding pKLC102 (21) or PAGI-2 sequences (25) as template. 222
The contig CP39 – CP41 was amplified from P. aeruginosa C genomic DNA. Primer 223
sequences are listed in Table S2, supplemental material. All PCR reactions were performed 224
with 40 – 200 ng cosmid DNA or 100 – 200 ng genomic DNA in a final volume of 100 µl (10 225
µl 10x buffer (500 mM Tris/HCl, 160 mM NaNH4SO4, 0.1 % (v/v) Tween 20, pH 8.8), 2 µl 226
50 mM MgCl2, 6 µl each of 5 µM primer A and B stock solutions, 2 µl DMSO, 6 µl 8 mM 227
dNTPs (2 mM each nucleotide), 2 U Taq-DNA polymerase (InViTek)). After denaturation for 228
300 s at 96°C, 35 cycles were run (annealing for 45 s at 60°C or 58°C, elongation for 45-90 s 229
at 72°C, denaturation for 120 s at 94°C). According to agarose gel electrophoresis and 230
subsequent ethidium bromide stain more than 80 % of all PCR products were at least 99.9 % 231
pure and all other PCR products were at least 98 % pure. Macroarray copies were produced in 232
parallel from the same stock of pooled PCR products to ensure that the corresponding ORFs 233
were represented by identical amounts of DNA on each membrane. Hence for each of the 96 234
PCR products, an aliquot of 50 µl of pooled PCR product, 85 µl TE-buffer and 15 µl 3 M 235
NaOH was dispensed in a well of a 96-well plate, denatured for 30 min at 65°C and chilled on 236
ice. After addition of 100 µl 3 M ammonium acetate, aliquots of 100 µl each were transferred 237
by a minifold-dot-vaccum-blot apparatus (Schleicher & Schüll) onto Hybond N+ nylon 238
membranes soaked in 1 M ammonium acetate. The membrane was dried and the DNA 239
immobilized by irradiation with UV light. 240

Hybridization of macroarrays. Membranes were incubated for 2 – 16 h at 68°C with 241
hybridization buffer (0.5 M sodium phosphate, 7% SDS, 1 mM EDTA, 0.5% blocking reagent 242
(Roche), pH 7.2), hybridized for 16-24 h at 68°C in the same buffer with DIG-labelled 243
genomic DNA and then washed twice for 30-45 min each at 68°C in washing buffer (40 mM 244
sodium phosphate, 1% SDS, 1 mM EDTA, pH 7.2). Detection of DIG-labelled fragments by 245
anti-DIG conjugate antibody, enzymatic cleavage of CDP-StarTM
and exposure to X-ray films 246
were performed as described previously (40). 247
Evaluation of macroarray hybridization signals. Signals were classified as strong, weak or 248
negative according to the signal intensity of the hybridization of labelled PCR products of 249
known sequence onto restricted cosmid DNA. Strong hybridization signals were obtained for 250
homologs of 85% sequence identity or more. Control hybridizations of PAGI-2 onto the 251
pKLC102 macroarray gave negative signals for all pKLC102-derived gene fragments of the 252
array, whereas the reciprocal hybridization of pKLC102 onto the PAGI-2 array revealed weak 253
signals for four of the 34 homologs. The nucleotide sequence identity of the PCR amplified 254
fragment with its homologous gene was 72%, 76%, 74% and 63% for C49, C65, C71, and 255
C108, respectively. The E-values of the corresponding BlastN comparisons were 1E-80, 2E-256
115, 2E-127 and 2E-55. Importantly, the weak homolog of C108 in pKLC102 carried a 28 bp 257
stretch of identical sequence which may explain the occurrence of the weak cross-258
hybridization signal despite of the lower overall homology. In general, however, applying the 259
stringent hybridization conditions a minimal sequence identity of 75% between membrane-260
bound PCR product and DIG-labelled genomic sample was estimated to be the threshold for 261
generating hybridization signals. 262
Parsimony analysis was performed with the program “pars” from the software package 263
“phylip3.66” (http://evolution.genetics.washington.edu/phylip.html). Signals obtained with 264
the positive controls PAGI-2 and pKLC102 were defined as the standard normalized to ‚1‘ for 265
all island ORFs on the macroarrays. In case of PAGI-2 subtypes, signals of C1 (integrase 266

because of possible cross-hybridization of homologs or of occasionally false negative signals 268
(C68/C69). Similarly the ORFs CP84, CP85, CP86 and CP103 of pKLC102 were excluded 269
because homologs are encoded elsewhere in the genome. The purified datasets of all strains 270
were then either combined or separately evaluated by parsimony analysis with PAGI-2 and/or 271
pKLC102 as reference, respectively. 272

Results and Discussion. 273
Local tetranucleotide signature. The local tetranucleotide usage was calculated for 274
the four genomic islands pKLC102, PAPI-1, PAGI-2 and PAGI-3 (Figure 2). Values for a 5 275
kb sliding window were compared with the global tetranucleotide usage of the whole P. 276
aeruginosa PAO1 chromosome. The variance of tetranucleotide frequencies OUV is the 277
difference between the empiric frequency and the null hypothesis of an equal frequency of all 278
256 tetranucleotides (52). OUV is primarily shaped by the local G+C content in P. aeruginosa 279
(52), and hence we calculated OUV:n1_4mer normalized for mononucleotide frequencies 280
(37). These OUV:n1_4mer values reflect the species-specific selection of tetranucleotides 281
normalized for the high G+C content of P. aeruginosa and are an appropriate measure of the 282
oligonucleotide signature of the genome. The local OUV:n1_4mer values of all four islands 283
were consistently below the median OUV value of 0.37 of the P. aeruginosa PAO1 284
chromosome. In other words, the selection of tetranucleotides is less biased in the islands than 285
in the P. aeruginosa core genome and hence may facilitate the horizontal spread of the islands 286
to bacterial species with another oligonucleotide signature. 287
The parameter ‘distance’ D compares the rank order of tetranucleotide frequencies in 288
two patterns (37), i.e. in this case the rank order in a 5 kb window compared to that of the 289
whole genome (see Material and Methods). Local D values were similar to that of the P. 290
aeruginosa core genome throughout the whole genomic island PAGI-2 (Figure 2). The other 291
three islands, however, showed high peak values in several regions. In case of PAGI-3, almost 292
all genes in the strain-specific cargo regions (see supplementary material, Table S3) (25), but 293
none of the genes that are conserved among members of this family of genomic islands (39) 294
were harbouring an atypical oligonucleotide composition. Peaks of D values are flanked by 295
various small transposable elements highlighting the complex architecture of PAGI-3 (see 296
Table S3, supplementary material) (25). In pKLC102 the loci with atypical local 297
oligonucleotide composition were predominantly associated with genes that are necessary for 298

conjugation and integration such as sex pili, relaxase and integrase (Table 2) (21). In PAPI-1 299
these loci were either flanked on one side by a direct or inverted repeat or were part of a type 300
IV pilus biogenesis machinery (16). In summary, regions with an atypical oligonucleotide 301
composition encode repeats and/or elements of genetic mobility. 302
The parameter ‘pattern skew’ PS describes this distance D between opposite strands of 303
the same DNA and is a measure of oligonucleotide symmetry (37, 38). Comparatively low 304
local PS values such as 21% calculated for 5 kb sliding windows in the P. aeruginosa PAO1 305
chromosome are typical for bacterial chromosomes that are characterized by strand symmetry 306
and intrastrand parity of complementary oligonucleotides (37). The profiles of local PS values 307
roughly followed that of local D values in all four genomic islands, but - more importantly - 308
the absolute values were within or above the upper outer quartile of local PS in the host 309
chromosome. With the exception of one small peak, local PS was scattering between 20% and 310
30% throughout PAGI-2. Of the four islands, PAGI-2 has PS values most similar to those of 311
its host chromosome. In contrast, higher basal values of about 30% and numerous peaks with 312
anomalously high local PS are typical for the other three islands. The maximal values were 313
close to or above the value of 60% of a random sequence implicating that in these peak 314
regions no strand symmetry exists. In other words, oligonucleotide frequency on the two 315
strands is only weakly correlated in all four islands and is completely lost in the peak regions 316
of pKLC102 (three segments), PAPI-1 (two segments) and PAGI-3 (three segments). 317
In summary, the local tetranucleotide signature of all four islands is distinct from that 318
of the P. aeruginosa chromosome. PAGI-2 is homogeneous in its tetranucleotide composition 319
throughout the island, but pKLC102, PAPI-1 and PAGI-3 each contain regions of highly 320
atypical tetranucleotide composition. 321
322
Chromosomal stability of island integration. The atypical oligonucleotide signature, 323
particularly the pronounced strand asymmetry, prompted us to investigate whether the islands 324

could spontaneously excise from their host chromosomes. All four islands are endowed with 325
genetic elements of mobility. They harbour phage modules (Table 2) that encode 326
chromosome partitioning proteins (soj) at one terminus and integrases of the bacteriophage P4 327
subfamily (PAGI-2, PAGI-3 (25)) or a phage tyrosine integrase (pKLC102 (21); PAPI-1 (16)) 328
at the other end. PAPI-1 and pKLC102 moreover encode numerous ORFs which are related to 329
plasmid-encoded replication and recombination functions. 330
Combinatorial PCR that spans the integration sites of the islands was applied to detect 331
excised circularized islands and island-free chromosomes compared to integrated genomic 332
islands. Overnight growing cultures were diluted with fresh liquid LB medium and samples 333
were then taken from early exponential to late stationary phase of growth. The relative copy 334
number of circularized PAPI-1 was estimated to be 2% of that of PA14 chromosomes. About 335
0.3 - 1% of PA14 chromosomes did not carry an integrated PAPI-1 island. A copy number of 336
10 – 30 circular pKLC102 molecules per SG17M host chromosome was estimated from 337
semiquantitative PCR kinetics (Figure 3). During growth the percentage of pKLC102-free 338
chromosomes increased from about 0.1% in early exponential phase to approximately 3% in 339
stationary phase (Figure 3). In contrast, no circular forms of PAGI-2 or PAGI-3 were detected 340
by combinatorial PCR. Hence the spontaneous excision rates, if they occur, are below the 341
sensitivity threshold of 1 x 10-7
of the assay. Consistent with this finding, no strain C or strain 342
SG17M chromosomes were identified by PCR that had cured PAGI-2 or PAGI-3, 343
respectively. 344
If we assume that PA14 and SG17M cells will grow in rich medium at statistically 345
indistinguishable rates irrespective of the presence or absence of the genomic island in their 346
chromosome, the spontaneous excision rates can be estimated from the semiquantitative PCR 347
kinetics (Figure 3) to be at least 3x10-3
for PAPI-1 in strain PA14 and to be at least 3x10-2
for 348
pKLC102 in strain SG17M. The latter estimate relies on steady state values and hence is 349

probably too low because pKLC102 like its relative pKLK106 can reversibly integrate into 350
and excise from its tRNALys
site (20). 351
The precise excision of enterobacterial pathogenicity islands has been reported to 352
occur spontaneously at a frequency of 10-5
to 10-4
(27, 32, 42,44), although mutations, 353
deletions and genome rearrangements are likely to be responsible for the inability of a precise 354
excision and mobilization of most genomic islands. In case of pKLC102 and PAPI-1 the 355
spontaneous excision frequencies from the host chromosome are one or at least two orders of 356
magnitude higher. pKLC102 and PAPI-1 harbour the phage module with the xerC integrase, 357
some plasmid-related genes, a type IV pilus biogenesis gene cassette and a syntenic set of 358
conserved ORFs, similar to those detected in PAGI-2 and PAGI-3 (Table 2). These features 359
probably endow the islands to excise exactly from the chromosome and to form a circular 360
extrachromosomal intermediate of sufficient stability. The relatively lower copy number of 361
PAPI-1 indicates that circular forms were only present in a few percent of cells and will 362
probably modulate the phenotype of the PA14 community only to minor extent. The opposite 363
conclusion applies to pKLC102. Circular forms were in tenfold excess of chromosomal forms 364
demonstrating that circular pKLC102 replicates in its host cell. Moreover, a substantial 365
number of SG17M chromosomes became devoid of pKLC102 during growth to higher cell 366
densities. This data verifies the previous assignment of pKLC102 as being a plasmid (20, 21, 367
41). The functional plasmid module of pKLC102 is apparently responsible for the highest 368
mobility of a genomic island that according to our knowledge has ever been reported. Being a 369
hybrid of phage and plasmid origin (Table 2), pKLC102 may be considered as an 370
intermediate between mobile genetic element and genomic island. 371
Epidemiology of PAGI-2- and pKLC102-like genomic islands in P. aeruginosa. 372
PAGI-2 and pKLC102 share a syntenic set of ORFs (21) homologs of which have meanwhile 373
been detected in more than 30 genomic islands of other beta and gamma proteobacteria (29). 374
The presence of these island types in numerous taxa suggests that they form a family with a 375

deep evolutionary origin (29). However, since no epidemiological data have yet been 376
reported, the role of PAGI-2 and pKLC102 in the contemporary P. aeruginosa population is 377
unknown. Hence the abundance and diversity of PAGI-2- and pKLC102-like genomic islands 378
was investigated in 71 strains of unrelated SpeI genotypes (Table 1) (30). The panel includes 379
isolates from diverse habitats and geographic origin and is a representative sample of present-380
day P. aeruginosa clones. The reader may note that 36 of the 71 strains share their SNP 381
genotype with at least one other strain in the panel (7 pairs, 6 trios, 1 quadruple; see the 382
hexadecimal genotype of strains listed in Table 1). This finding implicates that differences in 383
the accessory genome frequently give rise to macrorestriction fragment patterns that are 384
classified as distinct P. aeruginosa genotypes by accepted criteria (40) although the SNP 385
genotype of the core genome is identical. 386
Macroarrays of PAGI-2 and pKLC102 ORFs (Figure 1) were hybridized with the 387
strains’ DNA under high stringency to suppress equivocal cross-hybridization signals of 388
homologous genes (see ‘Material and Methods’). The hybridization analyses were calibrated 389
with samples and probes of known sequence so that a sequence identity of at least 75% was 390
required for a positive signal. An identity of 85% or more between the two sequences yielded 391
strong hybridization signals. Tables 3 and 4 show the results of macroarray hybridizations of 392
strains with positive hybridization signals. 393
PAGI-2 type islands were detected in 31 of the 71 strains (44%). Twelve strains were 394
harbouring one island, 11 strains two islands, 7 strains three islands and one strain four 395
islands. The identified islands were grouped into ten subtypes according to their hybridization 396
patterns (see Figure S1, supplemental material). Typical examples are shown in the upper 397
panel of Figure 4. Two environmental isolates from aquatic habitats in the Rhine-Ruhr area 398
(Germany) and an ear infection isolate from the USA were carrying PAGI-2 (Fig. 4B). The 399
pattern of Fig. 4C was typical for 13 strains: The strain C – specific cargo genes encoding 400
metabolic functions stretching from C2 to C35 were absent (Table S3, supplementary 401

material), but the region of conserved hypotheticals was present in the genomic DNA. 402
Subtypes differed by variable hybridization signals of ORFs C76, C77, C82, C83 and C92. 403
Ten strains like that shown in Fig. 4D lacked in addition the gene contig C56 - C63 that is 404
characterized by a consistent low G+C content of 59% (25). Figures 4E and 4F visualize 405
singular cases: the combination of strain C cargo genes with the lack of C56 – C63 (Fig. 4E) 406
and the strain with the least hybridization signals. 407
pKLC102 type islands were identified in 50 of the 71 strains (70%). Fifteen subtypes 408
were differentiated by hybridization pattern (see Figure S1b, supplemental material) eight of 409
which represented by a single strain. Nine clinical and environmental isolates including an oil 410
field isolate from Japan were harbouring pKLC102 (Fig. 4H). Strong oriV-reacting signals 411
were observed in ten subtypes suggesting that these 26 strains may also harbour mobile 412
genomic islands like strain SG17M does. The most common subtype K1d (see supplemental 413
material) was shared by 14 strains. It lacked homologs for eight pKLC102 ORFs including 414
the major putative virulence factor chvB CP94 (21). Weak hybridization signals indicated that 415
the sequences of oriV and 14 further ORFs should substantially deviate from those of the 416
pKLC102 blueprint. Combinatorial PCR of DNA from subtype K1d strains revealed 417
extrachromosomal circular forms in yields similar to those obtained with strain SG17M (data 418
not shown) suggesting that the most abundant subtype can also replicate in its host cell. 419
Figure 5 summarizes the hybridization results. The signal patterns of the PAGI-2 420
macroarray are in accordance with the known bipartite structure of individual cargo and 421
syntenic homologs in the sequenced islands PAGI-2 and PAGI-3 (25). The ‘cargo’ genes C2 422
– C35 which have homologs of known function in other eubacteria (Table S3, supplementary 423
material) were only detected in PAGI-2 and a close derivative thereof (subtype G2c). PAGI-2 424
subtypes vary in their attributes encoded by the accessory clusters of ‘cargo’ genes. The 425
commonalities of PAGI-2 type islands are 68 - 77 homologs that encode genes related to 426
replication or genetic mobility or that are conserved hypotheticals of unknown function. 427

Thirty-six of these ORFs have homologs in pKLC102. pKLC102 type islands were more 428
diverse than PAGI-2 types in their combination of gene cassettes in accordance with their 429
nestled arrangement of island- and subtype-specific ORFs (21), but they apparently carried 430
fewer strain-specific cargo genes. A backbone of more than 50% of ORFs including the 36 431
PAGI-2 homologs was found to be highly conserved among all pKLC102 type islands. For 432
90% of the pKLC102 ORFs, homologous sequences were identified in the majority of islands. 433
Only the contig CP94 – CP101 and ORF CP32 were missing in most strains (Table 4). The 434
least abundant ORF CP32 has the lowest G+C content (41.6%) of all ORFs in pKLC102 and 435
served as the integration site for an integron in strain C (21) which led to large genome 436
rearrangements in sequential isolates from individuals with cystic fibrosis (22). In summary, 437
the diversity of PAGI-2 islands is mainly caused by the insertion of one large block of strain-438
specific cargo genes, whereas the diversity of pKLC102 islands is primarily generated by 439
subtype-specific combinations of gene cassettes. 440
Figure 6 visualizes the outcome of the parsimony analysis of the relatedness of strains 441
classified by their PAGI-2 and pKLC102 hybridization patterns. The broad diversity 442
introduced by subtype-typical ORFs is highlighted by the multiple nodes in the dendrogram. 443
Importantly, no segregation of PAGI-2 and pKLC102 subtypes was noted. In other words, no 444
restrictions in the combination of subtypes of the two classes were observed in the 26 strains 445
which harbour both PAGI-2 and pKLC102 type islands in their chromosome. All nodes are 446
just occupied by a single strain implicating that microevolution in the large genomic islands 447
contributed substantially to interclonal diversity of our P. aeruginosa strain panel. 448
Spread and loss of PAGI-2. No spontaneous excision of PAGI-2 from its strain C 449
chromosome was demonstrated during growth in vitro (see above), but we nevertheless still 450
suspected that PAGI-2 type islands are mobilized from their host chromosomes in vivo and 451
can spread to other strains – at least at low frequency, because the closely related clc element 452

conserved region with PAGI-2 (14), was found to be capable of self-transfer to other beta and 454
gamma proteobacteria (35, 36). Hence we searched our P. aeruginosa strain collection of 455
sequential airway isolates from 36 individuals with cystic fibrosis for excision events of 456
PAGI-2 type islands. PAGI-2 typical genes were detected in fifty isolates collected from six 457
chronically colonized patients. Two index cases of loss of PAGI-2 were identified (Figure 7). 458
One patient was chronically co-colonized with PAGI-2 positive and PAGI-2 negative clone C 459
(Fig. 7A, 7B), whereby the first PAGI-2 negative strain (7B) was isolated from the patient’s 460
airways two years after the acquisition of P. aeruginosa clone C. At least another PAGI-2 461
subtype was retained in the PAGI-2 negative clone C strain (7B). The reader may note that 462
the hybridization pattern shown in Fig, 7A represents the sequenced PAGI-2 of the strain C 463
genome (25). In other words, the sequenced PAGI-2 was spontaneously excised from its host 464
chromosome in the cystic fibrosis lung. The other case was another P. aeruginosa clone C 465
carrier who had lost PAGI-2 in her last clone C – positive culture 17 years after the 466
acquisition of clone C (Fig. 7C, 7D) and became subsequently superinfected with two other P. 467
aeruginosa clones. 468
The cystic fibrosis lungs are an atypical and evolutionarily very recent niche for P. 469
aeruginosa which inhabits numerous aquatic as well as animal and plant host associated 470
environments, but to date sequential isolates from CF patients are the only source that is 471
available for longitudinal studies on the microevolution of the P. aeruginosa genome in the 472
time frame of years or decades (20, 47, 50). For all other habitats of P. aeruginosa, the natural 473
history and spread of a genomic island can only be deduced from cross-sectional sequence 474
comparisons of well characterized strains from a documented source. The PAGI-2 type clc 475
element, for example, is almost 100% identical over the whole length to a chromosomal 476
region in the beta proteobacterium Burkholderia xenovorans LB400 (14, 25). Similarly, a 477
contig of close to 100% nucleotide sequence identity to PAGI-2 was identified in the beta 478
proteobacterial Cupriavidus (formerly Ralstonia) metallidurans CH34 genome (25). To test 479

whether this finding is typical for Cupriavidus, a collection of six C. metallidurans strains 480
from Belgium and Germany and two C. campinensis strains from the USA was tested for the 481
presence of PAGI-2 by macroarray hybridization (Figure 8). Five isolates from sewage and 482
heavy metal ion polluted environments including the two strains from North America were 483
harbouring complete copies of PAGI-2 (Figure 8A). Strain C. metallidurans CH79 was 484
carrying a PAGI-2 subtype with a complete set of cargo genes. These results demonstrate the 485
transcontinental spread of PAGI-2 type islands into diverse clinical and environmental 486
habitats (see Table 1) and phylogenetically unrelated beta (genus Cupriavidus, Burkholderia) 487
and gamma proteobacteria (genus Pseudomonas). 488
Diversity of pKLC102 and PAGI-2 type islands in proteobacteria. More than 30 489
contiguous sequences were found in the databases to exhibit significant sequence similarity to 490
at least 15 ORFs of the syntenic set of conserved hypotheticals in pKLC102 and PAGI-2. For 491
proteobacteria other than P. aeruginosa, the boundaries of the genomic islands could be 492
precisely defined for 17 strains by oligonucleotide signature and tRNA integration sites. The 493
similarity of these genomic islands was evaluated by the distance D:n0_4mer of their 494
selection of tetranucleotides (Figure 9). Three branches could be distinguished. Haemophilus 495
pathogenicity islands clustered with that of Neisseria gonorrheae, and enterobacterial 496
pathogenicity islands clustered with islands of the phytopathogen Erwinia carotovora and of 497
the entomopathogen Photorhabdus luminescens. PAGI-2 and pKLC102 belonged to the most 498
clearly separated group characterized by a rather homogeneous profile of tetranucleotide 499
selection (Figure 9). The beta and gamma proteobacterial host strains of this group are 500
endowed with broad metabolic versatility, particularly their capability to degrade complex 501
aliphatic and aromatic hydrocarbons, and as a corollary they share highly similar metabolic or 502
fitness islands that by the extreme can be identical in sequence as it has been seen for PAGI-2 503
in Cupriavidus and P. aeruginosa (this work) or for the clc element in P. putida RR21 and 504
Burkholderia xenovorans LB400 (14). The host strains of the islands belong to taxa that prior 505

to the introduction of the rDNA based taxonomy had been classified as pseudomonads by 506
lifestyle and metabolic features (48). Consistent with this abandoned chemotaxonomic 507
classification, the genomic islands of the ‘Pseudomonas’ group encode a wide range of 508
metabolic features and resistance determinants. The similar oligonucleotide usage of the 509
islands probably facilitates the spread of this gene pool among strains that previously had 510
been lumped together as ‘pseudomonads’ due to their metabolic versatility. 511
Similar profiles of tetranucleotide usage of pKLC102 type islands of phylogenetically 512
distinct hosts suggest that the horizontal transfer of pKLC102 ancestors between 513
‘pseudomonads’ happened in the past, but the data provides no clue why pKLC102 remained 514
so mobile and was not irreversibly captured by its host chromosomes. pKLC102 did not lose 515
the phage and plasmid modules like the exoU encoding islands that became irreversibly fixed 516
in the chromosome by secondary events such as rearrangements and the acquisition and loss 517
of genetic elements (24). Inspection of the pattern skew of oligonucleotide composition 518
(Figure 10) provided an argument why the genomic islands of the pKLC102 / PAGI-2 family 519
are endowed with exceptionally high mobility. Figure 10 displays the pattern skew PS 520
n0_4mer of 22 pKLC102 type genomic islands and their host chromosomes. Pattern skew was 521
only a few percent for most chromosomes in accordance with previous analyses that bacterial 522
chromosomes are characterized by strand symmetry and intrastrand parity of complementary 523
oligonucleotides (37). Oligonucleotides and their reverse complements share physicochemical 524
properties such as base stacking energy, propeller twist angle, bendability and position 525
preference (3, 4) and occur with similar frequency in bacterial chromosomes in accordance 526
with Chargaff’s second parity rule (9). In contrast, no such correlation is observed for a 527
random sequence (PS ≈ 50 %). The 22 studied genomic islands of the pKLC102 family were 528
intermediate between chromosome and random sequence. The PS n0_4mer values of 18 529
islands were above the 95% confidence intervals of n0_4mer PS values of 155 completely 530
sequenced bacterial chromosomes and 316 plasmids (37) (Figure 10). PAGI-2 belonged to the 531

four islands with a PS value within the confidence interval. PS of PAGI-3 was within the 532
inner quartiles of PS of the pKLC102 family. PAPI-1 and pKLC102 together with four other 533
islands from Erwinia carotovora SCRI1043, Photorhabdus luminescens TT01, Pseudomonas 534
fluorescens Pf-5 and Yersinia enterocolitica 8081 exhibited the highest PS of 26% and more. 535
Thus the tetranucleotide frequency of the complementary strands was least correlated in these 536
six members of the pKLC102 family. Stably integrated genomic islands have an atypical 537
oligonucleotide composition compared to that of the core genome, but strand symmetry is 538
locally maintained (38). The conjugative islands of the pKLC102 / PAGI-2 family, 539
particularly the six islands with the highest PS, however, do not adhere to this rule and do not 540
only locally (see Fig. 2), but also globally perturb strand symmetry. Typically pattern skew 541
values of both chromosomal replichors are approximately the same (37) and hence 542
compensate each other to values close to zero for the whole chromosome (see Figure 10). 543
This data means that both replichors carry the same burden of physicochemical constraints 544
exerted by strand asymmetry (37). The integration of a pKLC102 element perturbs this subtle 545
balance. As long as PS of the foreign genetic element remains high, spontaneous excision 546
from the chromosome will occur. In summary, the high pattern skew together with functional 547
phage and/or plasmid modules may account for the high mobility of the islands of the 548
pKLC102 / PAGI-2 family, suggesting that they behave like selfish parasitic DNA that is 549
prone to horizontal spread within and among taxa. 550
The role of pKLC102 / PAGI-2 type islands in bacterial evolution. The gene 551
repertoire of a bacterial cell consists of genes that have been transmitted vertically over long 552
periods of time and of genes that were acquired or generated at various points of the lineage, 553
including some very recently (26). Horizontal gene transfer provides most of the diversity in 554
the genomic repertoire, but the majority of these horizontally acquired genes that persist in 555
genomes are transmitted strictly vertically (26). Hence despite substantial horizontal gene 556
transfer the phylogenetic relationships between taxa are robust as indicated by the congruence 557

of gene trees based on rDNA sequence, gene contents or average amino acid identity of 558
shared genes (23). 559
Genomic islands of the pKLC102 / PAGI-2 family are a major exception from this 560
rule. The islands spread across barriers of taxa and genera whilst retaining their identity of 561
oligonucleotide signature. Family members were identified at high frequency in the global P. 562
aeruginosa population, but were also widespread among other beta and gamma 563
proteobacteria. Identical islands were detected in phylogenetically distinct clades and isolates 564
of diverse habitats and geographic origin. High strand asymmetry, phage and/or plasmid 565
modules make up the signature of this evolutionarily ancient island family. 566
pKLC102 / PAGI-2 family members share a syntenic set of homologues. Accessory 567
gene clusters are nestled among this core and encode island-specific features. The sequence 568
diversity of these family-typical core genes is higher than that of vertically transmitted 569
orthologs, probably because divergent evolutionary forces act on sequences during horizontal 570
and vertical transmission: Genes that are irreversibly captured by the host chromosome will 571
minimize strand asymmetry and will become subject to purifying selection like the genes of 572
the core genome (13, 19), whereas the self-transfer of genomic islands into phylogenetically 573
distinct host chromosomes will counterselect strand symmetry, loss of the island-typical 574
oligonucleotide signature and loss of sequence diversity. Thus, on-going horizontal transfer 575
maintains a higher sequence diversity of a genetic element than its irreversible incorporation 576
into a host genome. 577
The function of most genes of the conserved module of the pKLC102 / PAGI-2 family 578
is still unknown although at least a subset should be involved in the excision, transfer, 579
integration or stabilization of the island (45, 46). Moreover, mutagenesis studies in PAPI-1 580
demonstrated that genes of the conserved core are involved in animal and plant virulence of 581
strain PA14 (16). Future research should unravel in more detail to what extent the syntenic 582
gene set is not only essential for the maintenance of the genomic islands of the pKLC102 / 583
