Analysis of cis-acting elements required for bfpA expression in enteropathogenic Escherichia coli.
bfpA expression in enteropathogenic Escherichia coli is regulated by growth medium, temperature, and ammonium concentration and requires the BfpT protein (also called PerA), a member of the AraC family of transcriptional activators. Site-directed and PCR random mutagenesis, as well as deletion analysis of the bfpA upstream regulatory region, supported assignment of the promoter elements and dem...
متن کاملMinimal cis-acting elements required for adenovirus genome packaging.
The design of drugs for treatment of virus infections and the exploitation of viruses as drugs for treatment of diseases could be made more successful by understanding the molecular mechanisms of virus-specific events. The process of assembly, and more specifically packaging of the genome into a capsid, is an obligatory step leading to future infections. To enhance our understanding of the mole...
متن کاملIdentification of cis-acting RNA leader elements required for chloroplast psbD gene expression in Chlamydomonas.
The psbD mRNA of Chlamydomonas reinhardtii is one of the most abundant chloroplast transcripts and encodes the photosystem II reaction center polypeptide D2. This RNA exists in two forms with 5' untranslated regions of 74 and 47 nucleotides. The shorter form, which is associated with polysomes, is likely to result from processing of the larger RNA. Using site-directed mutagenesis and biolistic ...
متن کاملMolecular variation among type IV pilin (bfpA) genes from diverse enteropathogenic Escherichia coli strains.
Typical enteropathogenic Escherichia coli (EPEC) strains produce bundle-forming pili (BFP), type IVB fimbriae that have been implicated in EPEC virulence, antigenicity, autoaggregation, and localized adherence to epithelial cells (LA). BFP are polymers of bundlin, a pilin protein that is encoded by the bfpA gene found on a large EPEC plasmid. Striking sequence variation has previously been obse...
متن کاملSelectable Marker Gene Removal and Expression of Transgene by Inducible Promoter Containing FFDD Cis-Acting elements in Transgenic plants
Abstract Background: Selectable marker gene (SMG) systems are critical for generation of transgenic crops. Transgenic crop production Background: Selectable marker gene (SMG) systems are critical for generation of transgenic crops. Transgenic crop production without using SMG is not economically feasible. However, SMGs are non-essential once an intact transgenic plant has been established. Eli...
