Combining the hok/sok, parDE, and pnd postsegregational killer loci to enhance plasmid stability.
To enhance plasmid segregational stability in bacterial cells, two pairs of independent postsegregational killing loci (genes which induce host killing upon plasmid loss) isolated from plasmids R1, R483, or RP4 (hok+/sok+ pnd+ or hok+/sok+ parDE+) were cloned into a common site of the beta-galactosidase expression vector pMJR1750 (ptac::lacZ+) to form a series of plasmids in which the effect of...
متن کاملPostsegregational killing does not increase plasmid stability but acts to mediate the exclusion of competing plasmids.
Postsegregational killing (PSK) systems consist of a tightly linked toxin-antitoxin pair. Antitoxin must be continually produced to prevent the longer lived toxin from killing the cell. PSK systems on plasmids are widely believed to benefit the plasmid by ensuring its stable vertical inheritance. However, experimental tests of this "stability" hypothesis were not consistent with its predictions...
متن کاملNovel nanomicelle formulation to enhance bioavailability and stability of curcuminoids
Objective(s): Curcuminoids, comprising curcumin, demethoxycurcumin (DMC) and bisdemethoxycurcumin (BDMC), are bioactive phytochemicals with numerous pharmacological effects. Oral biological availability of curcuminoids is low due to the low aqueous solubility and rapid metabolism. This study aimed at fabricating a nanomicellar curcuminoid formula with enhanced pharmacokinetic properties. Materi...
متن کاملInterplay between plasmid partition and postsegregational killing systems.
Active partition systems and postsegregational killing (PSK) systems are present together in naturally occurring low-copy-number plasmids. Theory suggests that PSK may act as the ultimate determinant of plasmid retention, whereas the partition system may minimize the growth penalty to the host, resulting in a near-ideal symbiosis when the systems combine. Here, we prove the validity of this pri...
متن کاملApplication of TCSC and SVC to Enhance the Power System Static Voltage Stability
In this paper, the performance of two types of FACTS devices in order to enhance the power system static voltage stability has been investigated. These devices include Static Var Compensator (SVC) and Thyristor Controlled Series Capacitor (TCSC). The modeling of the Single Machine Infinite Bus (SMIB) and aforesaid devices has been made up in steady state mode with disregarding of the generator ...
