RNA polymerase subunit requirements for activation by the enhancer-binding protein Rhodobacter capsulatus NtrC.
Rhodobacter capsulatus NtrC is an enhancer-binding protein that activates transcription of the R. capsulatus sigma 70 RNA polymerase, but does not activate the Escherichia coli sigma 70-RNA polymerase at the nifA1 promoter. We utilized R. capsulatus:E. coli hybrid RNA polymerases assembled in vitro to investigate the subunits required for protein-protein interaction with RcNtrC at the nifA1mut1...
متن کاملComplexes of Rhodobacter sphaeroides and Rhodobacter capsulatus
Photosynthetic bacteria offer excellent experimental opportunities to explore both the structure and function of the ubiquinol-cytochrome c oxidoreductase (bcl complex). In both Rhodobacter sphaeroides and Rhodobaeter capsulatus, the bCl complex functions in both the aerobic respiratory chain and as an essential component of the photosynthetic electron transport chain. Because the bc~ complex i...
متن کاملCloning, characterization, and regulation of nifF from Rhodobacter capsulatus.
The Rhodobacter capsulatus nifF gene and upstream sequence were cloned by using a probe based on the N-terminal sequence of NifF. nifF was found to not be contained in the previously described nif regions I, II, and III. Comparison of the deduced amino acid sequence showed that it is highly similar to NifF from Azotobacter vinelandii and NifF from Klebsiella pneumoniae. Analysis of translationa...
متن کاملPorin of Rhodobacter capsulatus: biochemical and functional characterization.
The major outer membrane protein of Rhodobacter capsulatus 37b4 (capsule-free) was isolated. Strong porin-activity was observed after reconstitution into artificial lipid bilayer membranes with a single channel conductance of 3.15 nS in 1 M KCl. The porin migrated as a broad, single band (Mr above 90,000) on sodium dodecyl sulfate polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis and dissociated into a single...
متن کاملRhodobacter capsulatus DNA topoisomerase I purification and characterization.
A 30-kDa DNA topoisomerase has been purified to near homogeneity from the purple nonsulfur photosynthetic bacterium Rhodobacter capsulatus. The enzyme is recognized by an antibody against a 16-mer peptide sequence from human DNA topoisomerase I. The purified enzyme is a type I topoisomerase. Consistent with the properties of other prokaryotic type I DNA topoisomerases, the isolated enzyme is un...
