The Escherichia coli flagellar transcriptional activator flhD regulates cell division through induction of the acid response gene cadA.
FlhD is a positive regulator of cadA. A mutant with a transposon-mediated lacZ fusion to cadA exhibited a cell division phenotype similar to that of the flhD mutant and had FlhD-dependent beta-galactosidase activity. Under different growth conditions, the cell division rate correlated with the level of expression of cadA.
متن کاملFtsZ regulates frequency of cell division in Escherichia coli.
Cell division is regulated so that it occurs only once per cell cycle. In Escherichia coli, a rod-shaped bacterium, division normally takes place at the center of the long axis of the cell; however, in the minicell mutant, division can also take place at the cell pole. Such divisions take place at the expense of normal divisions, resulting in an overall increase in nucleated cell length. We rep...
متن کاملSoluble Expression of Recombinant Nerve Growth Factor in Cytoplasm of Escherichia coli
Background: Pivotal roles of Nerve growth factor (NGF) in the development and survival of both neuronal and non-neuronal cells indicate its potential for the treatment of neurodegenerative diseases. However, investigation of NGF deficits in different diseases requires the availability of properly folded human b-NGF. In previous studies bacterial expression of hNGF demonstrated the feasibility o...
متن کاملInteraction of a transcriptional activator, OmpR, with reciprocally osmoregulated genes, ompF and ompC, of Escherichia coli.
The ompB locus, comprised of the genes ompR and envZ, regulates the expression of the genes ompF and ompC that encode the major porin proteins in the outer membrane of Escherichia coli K-12. OmpR is believed to activate transcription of ompF and ompC in a reciprocal manner depending upon the osmolarity of the culture medium. We were able to purify OmpR to homogeneity and to characterize its int...
متن کاملAggR, a transcriptional activator of aggregative adherence fimbria I expression in enteroaggregative Escherichia coli.
Enteroaggregative Escherichia coli (EAggEC) has been associated with persistent pediatric diarrhea in the developing world, yet the pathogenetic mechanisms of EAggEC infection are unknown. Our previous data have suggested that aggregative adherence of some EAggEC strains to HEp-2 cells is mediated by flexible, bundle-forming fimbriae, which we have termed aggregative adherence fimbriae I (AAF/I...
