DNA sequence and characterization of the Escherichia coli serB gene.
We have determined the sequence of a DNA fragment containing the Escherichia coli serB gene. An open reading frame of 966 nucleotides was identified that encodes a polypeptide of 322 amino acids with a molecular weight of 35,002 daltons. The transcription start site was determined by Mung Bean nuclease mapping. The -10 and -35 regions of the serB promoter lack homology to the consensus sequence...
متن کاملA DNA damage response in Escherichia coli involving the alternative sigma factor, RpoS.
We isolated an Escherichia coli mutant in the iraD gene, sensitive to various forms of DNA damage. Our data are consistent with the function of IraD to promote accumulation of the alternative transcription sigma factor, RpoS, by binding to the adaptor RssB protein that targets RpoS for degradation. Our results demonstrate the physiological importance of this mode of regulation for DNA damage to...
متن کاملUnzipping of DNA with correlated base sequence.
We consider force-induced unzipping transition for a heterogeneous DNA model with a correlated base sequence. Both finite-range and long-range correlated situations are considered. It is shown that finite-range correlations increase stability of DNA with respect to the external unzipping force. Due to long-range correlations the number of unzipped base pairs displays two widely different scenar...
متن کاملInduction of sigma factor synthesis in Escherichia coli by the N gene product of bacteriophage lambda.
Thermoinduction of cells of E. coli carrying prophage lambdacI857 within the bfe gene brings about not only "escape synthesis" of core subunits of the DNA-dependent RNA polymerase (RNA nucleotidyltransferase, nucleosidetriphosphate:RNA nucleotidyltransferase, EC 2-7-7-6), but also a striking stimulation of sigma factor synthesis. The latter phenomenon, termed sigma induction, is generally obser...
متن کاملThe flgE gene of Campylobacter coli is under the control of the alternative sigma factor sigma54.
The flgE gene encoding the flagellar hook protein of Campylobacter coli VC167-T1 was cloned by immunoscreening of a genomic library constructed in lambdaZAP Express. The flgE DNA sequence was 2,553 bp in length and encoded a protein with a deduced molecular mass of 90,639 Da. The sequence had significant homology to the 5' and 3' sequences of the flgE genes of Helicobacter pylori, Treponema pha...
