The Rhizobium meliloti nod region IIb is involved in host-range determination: (i) the presence of region IIb is necessary for transfer of alfalfa root hair curling ability to Rhizobium leguminosarum biovar trifolii; (ii) a mutation in region IIb extends the R. meliloti infection host range to Vicia sativa nigra; (iii) dominance of R. meliloti nod genes over R. leguminosarum biovar viciae nod genes is abolished by mutations in region IIb. The nucleotide sequence of this region has been determined. Genes corresponding to the two open reading frames identified are designated nodP and nodQ. The predicted amino acid sequence of the NodQ protein shows homology with translation initiation and elongation factors. The consensus sequence involved in the GTP-binding domain is conserved.
