Albomycin uptake via a ferric hydroxamate transport system of Streptococcus pneumoniae R6.
The antibiotic albomycin is highly effective against Streptococcus pneumoniae, with an MIC of 10 ng/ml. The reason for the high efficacy was studied by measuring the uptake of albomycin into S. pneumoniae. Albomycin was transported via the system that transports the ferric hydroxamates ferrichrome and ferrioxamine B. These two ferric hydroxamates antagonized the growth inhibition by albomycin a...
متن کاملGenome of the bacterium Streptococcus pneumoniae strain R6.
Streptococcus pneumoniae is among the most significant causes of bacterial disease in humans. Here we report the 2,038,615-bp genomic sequence of the gram-positive bacterium S. pneumoniae R6. Because the R6 strain is avirulent and, more importantly, because it is readily transformed with DNA from homologous species and many heterologous species, it is the principal platform for investigation of...
متن کاملThe two-component regulatory system TCS08 is involved in cellobiose metabolism of Streptococcus pneumoniae R6.
The two-component system TCS08 is one of the regulatory systems that is important for virulence of Streptococcus pneumoniae. In order to investigate the TCS08 regulon, we have analyzed transcription profiles of mutants derived from S. pneumoniae R6 by microarray analysis. Since deletion mutants are often without a significant phenotype, we constructed a mutation in the histidine kinase HK08, T1...
متن کاملCharacterization of pit, a Streptococcus pneumoniae iron uptake ABC transporter.
Bacteria frequently have multiple mechanisms for acquiring iron, an essential micronutrient, from the environment. We have identified a four-gene Streptococcus pneumoniae operon, named pit, encoding proteins with similarity to components of a putative Brachyspira hyodysenteriae iron uptake ABC transporter, Bit. An S. pneumoniae strain containing a defined mutation in pit has impaired growth in ...
متن کاملCellular uptake of lithium via amino acid transport system A.
We now add to the agencies by which cells take up lithium the process of cotransport with neutral amino acids via System A. In the Ehrlich cell various natural and synthetic amino acids, depending on their structure, can cause substantial accelerations of Li+ uptake over a considerable range of levels of Na+, Li+ and H+. Half the maximal augmentation of uptake, namely 1.2 mequiv. Li/kg cell wat...
