A Rhizobium leguminosarum CHDL- (Cadherin-Like-) Lectin Participates in Assembly and Remodeling of the Biofilm Matrix
In natural environments most bacteria live in multicellular structures called biofilms. These cell aggregates are enclosed in a self-produced polymeric extracellular matrix, which protects the cells, provides mechanical stability and mediates cellular cohesion and adhesion to surfaces. Although important advances were made in the identification of the genetic and extracellular factors required ...
متن کاملA comparative computational study of the ‘rbcL’ gene in plants and in the three prokaryotic families—Archaea, cyanobacteria and proteobacteria
The rbcL (ribulose-1,5-biphosphate carboxylase oxygenase) gene plays a crucial role in carbon fixation. Previous studies shed light on its evolutionary relationship among different Phyla. Here, authors have done a comparative study of rbcL genes among proteobacteria, archaea, cyanobacteria and plants based on their compositional variations (GC%, amino acid frequency, codon usage, etc.). In addi...
متن کاملStructure of the neural (N-) cadherin prodomain reveals a cadherin extracellular domain-like fold without adhesive characteristics.
Classical cadherins mediate cell-cell adhesion through calcium-dependent homophilic interactions and are activated through cleavage of a prosequence in the late Golgi. We present here the first three-dimensional structure of a classical cadherin prosequence, solved by NMR. The prototypic prosequence of N-cadherin consists of an Ig-like domain and an unstructured C-terminal region. The folded pa...
متن کاملpassivity in waiting for godot and endgame: a psychoanalytic reading
this study intends to investigate samuel beckett’s waiting for godot and endgame under the lacanian psychoanalysis. it begins by explaining the most important concepts of lacanian psychoanalysis. the beckettian characters are studied regarding their state of unconscious, and not the state of consciousness as is common in most beckett studies. according to lacan, language plays the sole role in ...
Plasmid conjugation from proteobacteria as evidence for the origin of xenologous genes in cyanobacteria.
Comparative genomics have shown that 5% of Synechococcus elongatus PCC 7942 genes are of probable proteobacterial origin. To investigate the role of interphylum conjugation in cyanobacterial gene acquisition, we tested the ability of a set of prototype proteobacterial conjugative plasmids (RP4, pKM101, R388, R64, and F) to transfer DNA from Escherichia coli to S. elongatus. A series of BioBrick...
