Caulobacter crescentus
shaped by their activity — both intrinsic and environment induced — and how these networks support the brain computations that underlie externally observable behavior. The second major challenge facing our young field will be applying the basic discoveries we are making to important real-world issues. It is a widely held view that understanding the brain bases of cognitive and behavioral develo...
متن کاملThe Caulobacter crescentus holdfast: identification of holdfast attachment complex genes.
Caulobacters are biofilm bacteria that attach to surfaces via a holdfast, an adhesive expressed at discrete cell surface sites. We have described a cluster of at least three genes involved in the adhesive attachment of the holdfast of Caulobacter crescentus CB2A to the cell, analyzing the sequence of two genes, hfaAB. Here we report hfaC and a fourth open reading frame, hfaD. hfaC predicts a pr...
متن کاملElectron cryotomography reveals the portal in the herpesvirus capsid.
Herpes simplex virus type 1 is a human pathogen responsible for a range of illnesses from cold sores to encephalitis. The icosahedral capsid has a portal at one fivefold vertex which, by analogy to portal-containing phages, is believed to mediate genome entry and exit. We used electron cryotomography to determine the structure of capsids lacking pentons. The portal vertex appears different from...
متن کاملGeneralized Transduction in CAULOBACTER CRESCENTUS.
Two closely related bacteriophage, varphiCr30 and varphiCr35, are the first bacteriophage shown to mediate generalized transduction in Caulobacter crescentus. Unlike most other transducing phage, they are virulent and do not form any sort of lysogenic relationship with their host. However, they are rather inefficient at adsorption, so that transductants have a good chance of survival. The phage...
متن کاملAnalysis of caulobacter crescentus lipids.
The lipids of Caulobacter crescentus, a procaryotic species which differentiates into stalked and swarmer cell types, were analyzed. Major lipid classes were purified by chromatography and identified by both chromatographic and chemical methods. Approximately half of the total lipid fraction of this organism consisted of glycolipis, which were primarily monoglucosyldiglyceride and an acylated g...
