Objective: To establish a method for gene complementation in Vibrio parahaemolyticus using the plasmid pBAD33.
Methods: The entire coding region of opaR or aphA was amplified by PCR and cloned into pBAD33. The recombinant plasmid was transformed into δopaR and δaphA (the opaR or aphA null mutant strain, respectively) separately to construct the complemented mutant strain C-δaphA and C-δopaR, respectively. RT-PCR was used to verify the transcription of opaR and aphA in the corresponding complemented mutant strains. Primer extension experiments were performed to determine the relative mRNA levels of mfpA (a gene previously characterized to be negatively regulated by AphA and positively by OpaR) in the wild-type strain, δopaR, δaphA, C-δaphA, and C-δopaR.
Results: opaR and aphA were transcribed in the corresponding complemented mutant strains, and their mRNA levels were comparable to those detected in the wild-type strains.
Conclusion: A method has been established for gene complementation in Vibrio parahaemolyticus using the plasmid pBAD33.

Cyclic di-GMP (c-di-GMP), a ubiquitous secondary messenger in bacteria, affects multiple bacterial behaviors including motility and biofilm formation. c-di-GMP is synthesized by diguanylate cyclase harboring a GGDEF domain and degraded by phosphodiesterase harboring an either EAL or HD-GYP domain. Vibrio parahaemolyticus, the leading cause of seafood-associated gastroenteritis, harbors more than 60 genes involved in c-di-GMP metabolism.

Mature biofilm formation by requires exopolysaccharide (EPS), type IV pili, and capsular polysaccharide (CPS). Production of each is strictly regulated by various control pathways including quorum sensing (QS) and bis-(3'-5')-cyclic di-GMP (c-di-GMP). QsvR, an AraC-type regulator, integrates into the QS regulatory cascade direct control of the transcription of the master QS regulators, AphA and OpaR.

Vibrio parahaemolyticus, a Gram-negative, halophilic bacterium, is a leading cause of acute gastroenteritis in humans. AphA and OpaR are the master quorum sensing (QS) regulators operating at low cell density (LCD) and high cell density (HCD), respectively. QsvR is an AraC-type protein that integrates into the QS system to control gene expression by directly controlling the transcription of and .
