A synthetic gene circuit for measuring autoregulatory feedback control.
Autoregulatory feedback loops occur in the regulation of molecules ranging from ATP to MAP kinases to zinc. Negative feedback loops can increase a system's robustness, while positive feedback loops can mediate transitions between cell states. Recent genome-wide experimental and computational studies predict hundreds of novel feedback loops. However, not all physical interactions are regulatory,...
متن کاملInvestigation of MexAB-OprM efflux pump gene expression in clinical isolates of pseudomonas aeruginosa isolated from Intensive Care Unit
Background and Aims: Pseudomonas aeruginosa is one of the most important pathogens of nosocomial infections, especially in the ICU (Intensive Care Unit), which has resistance to a wide range of antibiotics, especially Carbapenems. Among the most important resistance mechanisms of this bacteria against carbapenems are MexAB-OprM efflux pump. Therefore, the aim of this study was to evaluate the g...
متن کاملInvestigation of marA Efflux Pump Gene Expression in Ciprofloxacin Resistant Salmonella enteritidis Clinical Strains Using Real-Time PCR
Background and Aim: Ciprofloxacin-resistant Salmonella spp. are among the most important causative agents of food-borne infections. The marA efflux pump in this bacterium plays a significant role in the development of drug resistance. The aim of this study was to investigate marA efflux pump gene expression in Ciprofloxacin resistant Salmonella enteritidis clinical strains by Real Time PCR. Mat...
متن کاملPlasmid-Encoded Tetracycline Efflux Pump Protein Alters Bacterial Stress Responses and Ecological Fitness of Acinetobacter oleivorans
Acquisition of the extracellular tetracycline (TC) resistance plasmid pAST2 affected host gene expression and phenotype in the oil-degrading soil bacterium, Acinetobacter oleivorans DR1. Whole-transcriptome profiling of DR1 cells harboring pAST2 revealed that all the plasmid genes were highly expressed under TC conditions, and the expression levels of many host chromosomal genes were modulated ...
متن کاملA Small-Molecule Inducible Synthetic Circuit for Control of the SOS Gene Network without DNA Damage
The bacterial SOS stress-response pathway is a pro-mutagenic DNA repair system that mediates bacterial survival and adaptation to genotoxic stressors, including antibiotics and UV light. The SOS pathway is composed of a network of genes under the control of the transcriptional repressor, LexA. Activation of the pathway involves linked but distinct events: an initial DNA damage event leads to ac...
